    Thanks for stating the obvious and proving you are an autist. :)

    Then why even bother to enter the thread in the first place? I do not really give too much of a poop about how people choose to dress, they are free to do as they please as far as I am concerned. The topic is just for fun so just chill.

    Ad hominem. Further ad hominem attacks will get you blocked, if you possess the ability to be civil then I look forward to further debate with you.

    To learn from the perspective of others.

    I agree.

    What makes the topic fun for you?

    Some people like I do not care about superficial trends and wear what we like because we like the style as opposed to trying to fit to the current trend. Do you care about superficial trends? If yes, why?

    I feel there is a direct correlation between stupidity and that back-pack, but I need to conduct more fieldwork befote drawing any direct conclusions. :p

    Do not change the topic. If you are curious about that question, start your own thread. :)

    Any back pack? I love back packs because there are so many different kinds. You need to do more fieldwork. lol
    I cant think of any style that irks me.
    ...maybe pj pants and slippers, but that trend was short lived ... I haven't seen anyone do that in a long time.

    Perhaps you are right. I have my research question ready though so soon I might have a phD in Sociology. :p

    I hear alot of people who have visited the States saying that people there go to the store in their PJ's and bathrobes. Sounds really odd and messed up to me. :p

    If it was common here, it sure would have been on my list.

    It feels like being a white male in the 'hood isn't fashionable, but being black is.

    I also think that's b/s but doesn't stop people thinking that way.

    Fashion.

    Not sure I get the context of your question. This isn't a serious topic, so why so serious?

    PS - I am rarely, if ever, fashionable, unless it's a coincidence. Clothes shopping is one of my least favorite activities.

    The EU have taken Greece like the EU were the USSR; they regard Greece a part of the EU and don't let them trigger Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty.

    There's an upcoming meeting 22nd of May 2017 about trying to get out of the bailout between Greece and the EU.

    I am sure the Greeks will pull out. They have no reason to stay.

    The Greek people are in bondage to Germany and Athens is in ruins.

    Because Germany interpreted the law like they were PRC (People's Republic of China).

    From my perspective the thread is about making fun of people, which is why I ask my questions, to better understand the reason some feel the need or enjoy making fun of others.

    We as a species tend to mock or otherwise attack that which is strange to us. It is this base nature that is of interest to me.

    Oh, that's not me. At all. Something about fashion is interesting to me, even though I'm not fashionable. It's like art. I almost never agree with the fashion "experts" on what is appealing, but that's part of the fun.

    In terms of mocking people - nah. People are free to wear whatever they want, but I am free to have an opinion about it. Besides, someone else's opinion of me is none of my business, so my opinion of others' clothing really isn't valuable information for the wearer. Negative observation <> mocking.

    Oh, calm your titties please. The topic is obviously as light-hearted as can be; There is absolutely no intention to mock anyone, it is just for fun and based on subjective opinions about what looks good and what doesn't.
