"When did it become socially acceptable...."

  • for pajamas to be worn as everyday apparel
  • for kids to refer to themselves as "hoes" and discuss their worth like they're a stock on the NASDAQ
  • for teenage girls to openly brawl in the 7-11 parking lot and throw out the F-word like it's going out of style
  • for guys to ask a girl out, and then tell her she needs to pay half
  • for people to take personal calls on their cell phones at work....all day long
  • for little boys to whistle and cat-call at someone old enough to be their mother
  • for guys to ask a girl out for the same day....nay, for 6 hours later...
  • for rude humor to be the norm
  • for a "thank you" to be rare, and seem odd when given
  • for gossip to be the main topic of conversation
  • for the educational system to take a back-seat while athletic programs make millions of dollars
  • for people to ignore the elderly and disabled when they need their help
  • to have your clothes either falling off your nether-regions...whilst wearing a belt-an object I was almost certain was for keeping those pants up...
  • for little girls (or anyone really) to wear sweat pants with "bootilicious" written across the rear...nothing should be written across your butt...just sayin'
  • for people to be able to carry on lengthy conversations via text, IM, twitter or Facebook, but barely say anything when face to face with an actual human being

I ask you, when did it become socially acceptable? Well, I am not the cultural norm, so these don't fly with me.  Consider yourself...informed.
