Because they can share haircare products

[Mobius]

No, seriously, some girls are attracted by them...one of my old classmates said he would become an emo only for this reason

[Grizzly]

As far as I know they succeed with girls

Trust me, they don't.

[Mobius]

Some girls are attracted by them or, at least, they're not disgusted by their presence. Serious girls are still in circulation, though.

If a girl likes an emo guy, it's probably because she thinks he's cool. He isn't, in my opinion.

[Ford Prefect]

I don't see the point in getting all worked up about kids' subcultures. So they're melodramatic; it's part of adolescence. I grew up in the suburbs-- they're boring, and one way teenagers deal with that boredom is by adopting melodramatic worldviews. It doesn't mean they're genuinely unhappy; the "me vs. the universe" thing is just a fantasy to make life more fun. It's why I loved Nietzsche when I was sixteen. Just let 'em do their thing in peace, and remember that someone older than you is shaking their head at what a dip**** you are, too.

Nuke all the emos! Annihilate them all! Death to emos and homosexuals. Gonna use a meson bomb on them.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder ...

My way of dealing with it was to act like a knight everywhere I went. And its rubbed off to my teen years.

You high man?

[ShadowGorrath]

No, I just hate them. Better I just send a Lucifer fleet. Or a Sath fleet. Or better yet- the Gigas fleet ( mine, not INFR1/INF SCP ).

One vote fore no,.............

Mobius? was that you?

[TrashMan]

Once saw an Islamic kid complaining about the decadence of the West, whilst wearing his designer T-Shirt and Trainers and wearing an I-Pod... Common Sense never really comes into the equation.

What does having cloths and listening to music have to do with decadence of the West?
You do realise the West isn't ALL bad.
And I have to agree with that guy. The whole world, and the West in particular, is going down the toilet.

[Androgeos Exeunt]

The West isn't all bad, of course, but there are quite a few rough edges.

[TrashMan]

Yeah, and it has 666 of them

Because a lot of those things are famous for using cheap labour and resources from several poor countries. It was the hypocrisy that made me laugh, complaining about the problem whilst obviously being part of it. It's not a statement on the West it's a statement on people complaining without bothering to look in the mirror first.

[TrashMan]

What makes you think he was reffering to cheap labor when he was talking about the decadence of the West?

Maybe he was referring to the alienation of families?
To rampant violence problems?
To the moral crumbling?
To really bad TV reality shows?
To the "holier then thou" stance stance.
To their growing obesity?
To the irony that of the good, modern life?

[Colonol Dekker]

That's all POV judging west by eastern (middle or otherwise) is hypocritical.

[Wobble73]

[Off topic] Dekker, I've just clicked on the "Read about me" in your sig, and I find it ironic that John Dekker's callsign was Gash!    [/Off topic]

[Colonol Dekker]

Quite lol. Well mine are quite neat (apart from a fighting scar on my bonce) and minimal.

Who says he was? You can play the 'what if' game all you like and never get an answer.

The simple fact is, the poorer countries couldn't care less if we live 'immorally' if we just left them alone whilst doing it. It's only when you stop wondering where your next meal will come from that you have time to start standing in judgement of other countries. A lot of that bitterness comes from the exploitation of poorer countries, and a lot of that exploitation comes in the form of labour and resource harvesting.

In essence, it doesn't matter what he was referring to, he was still far more part of the problem than he realised.
