Responses that completely destroy the original argument in a way that leaves little to no room for reply - a targeted, well-placed response to another person, organization, or group of people.

The following things are not grounds for murder:

Rules:

  1. Be civil and remember the human. No name calling or insults. Swearing in general is fine, but not to insult someone else.
  2. Discussion is encouraged but arguments are not. Don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguments sake.
  3. No bigotry of any kind.
  4. Censor the person info of anyone not in the public eye.
  5. If you break the rules you’ll get one warning before you’re banned.
  6. Enjoy the community in the light hearted way it’s intended.

Give it about ten years and the popular style will pendulum back to fitted/tight clothing.

Just like it was before the current baggy trend and after the previous baggy trend, which was preceded by another tight trend, which was preceded by another baggy trend, and so on and so on

I wonder how much momentum there is in that pendulum?

I think it started swinging (at least in America) in the 30's. Between the scarcity of the depression and rationing during the war, fashions tended toward minimal. Then in the abundance of the 50's you got big puffy poodle skirts and zoot suits because we finally had a surplus.
