	Five Red Flags Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations: Deluxe Edition

Name 5 "red flags"---things that would be considered terrible flaws, that would make you have a bad opinion of someone without knowing them personally.

Here are mine:

1. Wearing a baseball cap crooked. It looked dumb 10 years ago. It looks dumb now.

2. People who walk without swinging their arms.

3. People who talk loudly on their cell phones in trains.

4. Being stingy when dividing a check or with tipping.

5. People that baby their animals.

White socks look nice unless your're dressed up then the socks should match either your shoes or your pants.

1. Wearing very noticeable logos.

3. Driving a pick up, or anything that you have to climb into.

4. Gelled hair

5. expensive sun glasses (or ones that try to look expensive)

1. An iPod for style, not function. You can tell who they are.
2. Anybody who's a rabid fanatic of anything that's rather divided: Rep. v. Dem., Serb v. Croat, Apple v. Windows, religion v. atheism...
3. Dressing rather... whorishly. As in, corporate logos all across their chest, wearing something remarkably low-cut for no reason at all...

what about socks and sandals? socks do protect your feet from sun and that bad feeling of sandals-on-skin, sandals offer free room for your toes.

and what about gelled hair? there are hair types that just look ugly if not gelled, and faces that do look better with hair longer than 2mm. so if you have both, you must gel your hair

as far as talking on your phone loudly when on a train, that depends on background noises. it's an automatic reaction, no matter how "dumb" you are or not.

most of the points stated are truly red flags, others - like the ones above - are just matters of taste mostly. things only people with really low self esteem would make big issues of. "look at me, I'm so cool because I don't wear socks and sandals"

5? I only need 2:

1 - Being alive
2- Not being me

2 is not always needed

I have a bad habit of not swinging my right arm when I walk. Not sure why. Maybe I'll develop that disease. argh, now I can't think of the name. The one Bob Dole and that boxer has.

I would immediately have a negative opinion of any complete strange I saw engaged in any one of the following activities:

1. Walking into a church (or other religious institution).
2. Walking out from the same.
3. Drinking Coors Lite.
4. Watching NASCAR (and/or "Pro" Wrestling).
5. Sucking up to other people.

White socks are an attitude I do not care for. (usually machos with loads of jewelry, long hair in their neck and a tuned Ford car listening to loud - yet very commercial and thus crap - house/techno music, drinking a mixture of beer with Coke. )

You decide if it's a red flag or just an observation.
