I agree. Sloppiness is one thing that I personally find unattractive in any income bracket. I get that sometimes you don't feel like dealing with looking decent, but people are going to judge you by what you look like, so keep that in mind.

I don't feel guilty about mocking the celebrities who go on the red carpets in bad outfits.

The rampant consumerism and the persistant drive for more, More, MORE!!!!!!!!!!!! drives me crazy sometimes. You've got to know when to call it quits, and the constant increase is not natural nor sustainable.

"Because I can" is my father-in-law's main ethic. He doesn't understand that some thing you can do might be things you shouldn't do. I disagree that you're spoiling people's fun by asking them not to post pictures of you. I think it's rude of them to post them when you asked them not to.

I'm not wearing dresses but I'll agree with you that upping the wardrobe would certainly be a nice trend. I'm a girl who wears jeans nearly all the time, but I'm trying to make sure they're decent and fit me.

I'd stayed out of this thread because I was a little nervous about what I'd find. I'll mock people on a very small scale, sometimes, though I feel a little dirty about it. I don't like large-scale mocking unless it's celebrities. They've sort of volunteered to be in the public eye.
