Wearing a cap is a sign of anti-social behaviour

In the UK, the government is cracking down on "anti-social behaviour." The term of it has become quite vague where the government can easily intrepret this to be anything that could harm or offend any cultural, ethnic, and religious group that resides in the country. Bascially, anyone that disrupts the perfect social fabric of our society is considered to be socially deviant.

The latest news today is that a chain of Internet cafes have banned the wearing of baseball caps in their stores because the headwear promotes hooliganism. The easyInternetcafe chain says net surfers wearing the caps make other users feel uncomfortable. The company claims that the caps, often worn by teenagers, are associated with anti-social "deviant behaviour."

So if you wear a baseball cap, you are assumed to be a troublemaker. I would kinda feel bad because the most popular cap here in London are the Yankees, so what if they stopped an American wearing one and questioned him about his actions (or lack thereof). But nevertheless, this type of trial is being picked up by other chain stores. Sooner or later, you may asked to remove your cap anywhere you go.
