    It's funny that you make sweeping generalizations about my generation. However, it isn't always true. Personally, when not kilted, I can't stand a pair of pants or jeans that don't fit. I always wear a belt and don't like the idea of the world knowing what color boxers I wear. Most of the people I see and hang out with have pants that fit. That's not to say I don't see people as you describe. Not every guy from my age generation is dressed that way so do watch the sweeping generalizations. It's only a few sections of the whole demographic with clothing like that. Not all of it.

    Wow, I think you're the only one who's taken Ron's topic so personally. In no way did it appear to be a "sweeping generalization." :fewl:

    The fact is, I said i thought it was funny, " It's funny that..." I'm laughing at it. not taking it personally. Also, I am attempting to interject the current viewpoint of someone from the age-group he is describing. I may have gotten a little vehement in my reply, but only because I don't want to be included in his statement. So call me the fool if you like but keep in mind, I'm just 16. A sophomore of my age if you will.

    Ummm, the title of the post is "Around Here." I live in a town of 6,800 in the remote canyonlands of Arizona - its 135 miles to the nearest city with a shopping mall. Not sure how that is any sort of sweeping generalization.

    Focus was on the irony of the situation - not dising the guys who chose to follow current fashion for thier crowd.

    Hope it won't be long before kilts are high fashion for the younger set.
