Why?
Society is degrading because more and more people are wearing what they want to despite his wishes.
Yeah, that's sadness-inducing. And I'm not even opposed to standards, just highly specific uniforms.
Because if your collar isn't properly starched you're a degenerate fuckwad (no, wait, sorry, 'ignorant chimp'). Because not having a hard-line opinion on clothing means you dress like a slob, period. Because if you don't wear a suit or follow every single one of society's norms you shouldn't be surprised when people (see, strangers) treat you like a hobo. Nor should you stand up and say 'hey that's not right' when you see a person judging a random stranger on the street (not even talking about a job interview here, just on the street) by their clothing first.
Mind you, not all of that is what Will has said, I'm referencing some others there too, but he's certainly leading the charge.

Huh. I don't really get that at all.
So chat how is it going? It's been years since I hung out in this thread. Are we still getting yelled at for devolving into gay jokes and talking about dicks every five pages?
It's a [chat]ist regime, now.

I wouldn't hire myself if I wore that shit to a job interview.
Only if the quote tree is too large when doing so.
Not true.
People are, at times, given the opportunity to make a chat.
Though if I'm not expecting it I just grab something off of Badass of the Week.
I love living in a small town even the wierd dressers are only given a quick glance the you go on with your day knowing there are still some free spirits on teh west coast.
Oh and I typically wear jeans and a tee when not in work clothes.
well no i take that back, it's almost always by the same two or three people
if you know what I mean.
Seriously? Sweet. We will be awesome rape buddies then.
For a job interview you dress to a job. That's just common sense.
But the implication that a lot of people have been making is that you have to dress a certain way all the damn time. Like, 'this is how you must dress every time at every wedding' and 'this is how you must dress when visiting a cemetery, no matter what'. The implication is that if you're wearing somewhat tattered jeans, a t-shirt, and a hoodie while walking to your local pub then you're looking like a hobo and should be treated as such.

Length that I've written: nearly nine.
Calling it a day after I dig up some cites: yes.
4 life!
AH HA HA HA! I hope he never visits here. We must all bo hobos then. Jeans and hoodies a de rigure for our small town.
Because photography knew its place
Dawwwwwww
I work in a new york city restaurant that is "casual fine dining." A great number of people can't afford to eat there. However, since it is NYC and it's a chic place, there isn't a dress code. Some people look "homeless" because they're going for that rock look. But if you actually look homeless, you aren't getting in the door. It goes both ways -- people have to be aware of what their clothing says about them, and commerce-people need to understand the subtleties of culture.

He'd likely disregard the entire community as getting it wrong. Like he did with the Midwest.
Apparently the only community that gets it right is Will's community.
