He's a good kid and remember the wonderful 70s?

My older two kept theirs shaved and designed with cool styles as if tattoos (yet not).This is art for them. Let them be kids and enjoy their youth. The clothes- I completely agree, yet the hair? Who cares as long as you can see their eyes? It's not as if they're in the military (yet).

Does anyone remember the parachute pants in the eighties?

The gumby style jeans in the nineties?
I've been through two so far and everyone lived through it -much to the eyesore of others,
As we all agreed before, the sagging pants is the worst and thank goodness there's a law against it, although it doesn't seem to be enforced very well.

You mean theres a law against sagging pants?- well done America!

I can't stand those...

I think you are referring to the bell bottom pants.... Yup, those were the rage of the eighties...

We sure do wear the outrageous stuff back in the 80's- I'll grant you that...

For me somehow- my dad was in the police force, so discipline was kinda the in-thing in my home. I still maintain and love short haircuts since young, therefore can never understand the long hair principles by some- but hey... to each his own, I always say.

But nowadays, things are changing, what we kinda disprove seems to be the in thing nowadays- no guys want to be caught dead with ankle socks, but now it seems that everyone is wearing them, some with pompoms at the heel! Back then, if you see a guy talking by himself, you can safely assume that "the lift does not go all the way to the top". Now he would probably on the mobile phone.

So I suppose we do have to adapt to the changes, but some thiongs will never change for me. One of them is ROCK & ROLL!!!

I hate the 80's, and I really hate that it seems to be coming back around.

The hair is bad. The fashion is bad...yuck.

I agree Viper, I don't understand the long hair fashion for men. Very few men look good with long hair. (And those that look good with long hair look really good with long hair). Rawr.

Other than that, in my mind every man, boy, child etc, that I see with bangs in their face and long flowing rat tails in the back are cut and shaved quickly before they can even figure it out. Alas, this is just a wonderful day dream. (Hehehe).

Ahhh, another HUGE pet peeve...the smaller these Bluetooth pieces get the stupider I get!

I can't tell you how many times I've answered people talking on their Bluetooth. pixiedustboo you IDIOT!

It seems like people have gone a lot comfortable with a lot of things that are considered to be taboo from way back.

Though the trend that most pisses me off is how people are so okay with going out without being able to fix up that much. You could claim that would be because of confidence but in reality, it is a great way of saying that I do not care about what others say I am because I still look good in it.

Hahaha! I am a VS sweats and hoodie kinda girl. Big time.

Guilty as charged, your Honour.

Yep, I've fallen for that a lot, especially when my desk was within about 8 feet of my boss. One minute she'd be chatting to me, next minute she'd be answering a call, and me having my head buried in a spreadsheet wouldn't know what was going on, as half the time I was only "half listening" anyway.

Poor Leslie would just purse her lips and slowly shake her head, prolly thinking that her ship manager was a complete and utter Froot Loop.

the only thing that really gets me is cockiness and the attitude that the world owes you. honestly no one is naturally owed anything, they should work rather than expecting constant support

Everybody feels so self entitled to EVERYTHING. And when they don't get what they want they become "Victimized"

Poor things, such a pity.

But it's the brick that was cast out 50 years ago, I guess with push button convience and 31 flavors of Baskin Robbins it's now the cornerstone?
