No more blue knees in the middle of winter. Naturally many of us then wore our pinafore dresses over the top of our trousers, just to confound the adults :) Kids today are far more tolerant of sexuality and a large number will have experimented with at least kissing a member of the same sex but there are also definitely some who say that they are gay or bi-sexual purely to be different... whether they are truly that way or not.

"MILF" can mean 18 if she's had a baby. It's a strange universe. Yes, in the adult entertainment world, “mature” means 30. “MILF” can mean 18 if she’s had a baby.

I know that in my high school the dress code was pretty clear and limited - which I think is smart in general, IMO - but maybe I'm dating myself. I did find it interesting how the homecoming skit always had the cheerleaders dressing in football pads and the football players in cheerleader skirts, but there wasn't any where near the bending that goes on today. Teenage boys are putting on eye liner and nail polish, and girls cut their hair short and have no problem wearing pants every day. Obviously some areas are going to be more tolerant and progressive, but local custom and tradition probably will still dominate what's ok and what's not ok for a long while. But at least it's being talked about. :-) And what kind of lame school doesn't allow girls to wear stiletto heels! Poop on them! Great post, and interesting questions.

Being a Scot, my dad wore a kilt loads when he was younger. They're smart things, them. Well, why not wear a skirt to school? Being a Scot, my dad wore a kilt loads when he was younger.

I'm a little perturbed by it, but given the alternative (i.e., violence), I'd much rather be thought of as a phony than a target. There will always be the chic factor.

They just don't care the way we used to. But I still wonder if part of this trend isn't that as our society becomes more open and tolerant ("more" being a relative term, I grant you) that teens have to stretch farther and farther to do things that will annoy and appall adults. Jeans and T-shirts and long hair don't do the trick anymore. They're a norm. Grunge and goth still work but they're becoming a standard, too. So, what to do next to raise eyebrows?

But here I am, another idotic comment on the idiots involved: the so-called victim, her perpetrators, the jury, and the judge. An eighthy-some-year old person has shown either smarts living that long, or had been extremely lucky. I am not that old, neither that lucky, but I have never had the urge to put coffee between my thighs. It is no different from having a stack of dynamite with a glowing fuse up one's ass. McDonald is not the the bad guy here, just as in the case of the asshole with the ill-fitting underwear. Stupidity wins on the short run. The problem is when we all have to pay for it. I am a promoter of the "Darwin awards" given to the recently departed. This person was a prime candidate, too bad the coffee was not terminal.

I also have modified the device by using a large tie wrap and cutting it too the right length for me by making it somewhat smaller in diameter. I took one of the large pins from the cb2and cb3 cut it to length needed, then drilled a small hole for the lock. The pins from the cbx series must be stronger as you say because it has never broken I too have had problems with the locking pin
