Oh, and the "language", notice the level of profanity that is mostly bleeped out, radio, TV, etc..Great topic, Pam! It's not a question of money, but of class, as in the way you present yourself in public. Well, it seems that while the masses are eager and salivating to spend $1,000 on the newest Iphone, they are reluctant to clothe themselves properly, or don't care or know how! Can we assume that the USA is a decadent nation that has given up trying to maintain what was once considered a decent standard in clothing and fashion representation? It seems to get worse every year. I can go to the thrift shop and put together a nice outfit for $10 so when my coworkers, who show up in jeans/leggings say they can't afford to look nice that's unacceptable to me. Most Americans dress like absolute slobs and should be ashamed of themselves I've been fortunate enough to have had the opportunity to travel outside the US. Different strokes and all that.

And its not just at the theater where folks have simply stopped trying: Offenders turn up at the Metropolitan Opera in Crocs. Im 50 now, many say i look 35. Shame on them! I volunteer at a thrift store. I should add I agree with the poster who commented on the excessive tattoos.

Comedian Bill Maher questioned why celebrities and Democrat politicians do not address issues like the Black-on-Black crime wave in cities such as Chicago. The same decomposing society that allows grown men to walk around in tattered clothing and prison tattoos permits them to be big, fat, disgusting pigs, and then calls the few who still notice how wrong this is "fat shamers". I tried to be polite about it without "fat shaming." I might wear sweatpants at home in the cabin, unless I'm expecting someone or plan on going somewhere, though out in public I try to look at least decent and clean. I thought this was so disgusting that I called the store and told them to look out for this person who went in. The same store today has nothing to speak of anymore, which is a pity.

When I was in my late teens and early twenties, I worked at a nationally known clothing and home goods retailer. Style, low budget and comfort arent mutually exclusive. Quite absurd and totally devoid of fashion. I cant recall the last time I saw a nicely dressed female in public. Not many people mentioned women's hair yet, besides their greasiness.

Being 18, I'm part of the uncaring generation and I have to admit that for years I've been a slob. It's wrong to call it "style" because obviously no thought or effort seem to go into women's hair today.

Even though America is still in an economic depression (yes, it really is!
