Women's platform shoes are quite common these days and have been for
some time. Tie dye, I see that almost daily.

You know that I wasn't talking about women's shoes.

Do yours still fit? :~)

The low pants wearing is a sign of submission to the authorities!

This demonstrates that in the event of a crime they are incapable of
running from the scene.

I can't really can't see an adult employee coming to work with his
pants
hanging down around his knees.

I wonder what an old trailer is worth these days.

no

paid
1/3 down payment on the house from money he earned while working and
going to school. Not too bad for a 24 year old.

That is a tribute to parenting ... the highest tribute there is.


Parenting yes. Good parenting, maybe. Most kids are getting no
parenting, so to speak.

Yep. Low pants is a consequence of the authorities confiscating an accused's
belt when he's clinked-up.

Just shows you who some classes admire.

I would like to know what holds the pants at that level.

Heh!

I saw an interview a few months back with an "Occupy" protester. He had
spiked hair and a dangling ear-ring. He was also carrying a sign with some
unintelligible slogan. Anyway, he virtually shouted to the interviewer: "I
graduated from college three months ago and I can't even get an interview
for a job..."

"What was your college major?" the interviewer innocently asked.

"I don't see how that's relevant!" retorted the hippie.

If his college major is an issue at this point he isn't a hippie. Any
hippie today has a long employment history or is retired.

Spiked hair, dangly earring, and "I don't see how that's relevant" is
punk.

What happens when you let them do this to express their individuality.

What happens when you don't discipline your kids.

What happens when kids have more money than their parents.

Yes, this is Justin Berber. *White boy gone wrong and having no pride in

Yeah - another one who has jumped on the "gay wagon" to draw attention
to himself at any cost.

I'm still hanging on to hope that Taylor Swift will remain as well
grounded as she seems to be.

She reminds me of a girlfriend I had when I was 17... The first time I
saw Taylor my heart went thump thump remembering old times.

I still get a little lift everytime I see her. Brings back good
memories, and fun times.

Oh.

I came of age in the generation that came after beatniks and before hippies.
I'm totally lost on the appropriate moniker.

Beatniks, early 60's, hippies late 60's. give or take a couple of years
on both.

That defaulted back to the Elvis age. ;~) Or was that the "MOD" age.
