True, more expensive stuff tends to be better made, but there is still a lot out there which is terrible. For example: http://www.ssense.com/men/product/la..._sandals/33564 While the sole looks amazing, and the parts look well made, aesthetically they suck (imo)!

And there are a lot of cheap clothes that are terrible. You wrote a whole shitload of sentences to point out the obvious: there are good & bad clothes for every price point

I was trying to point out that there is a more productive way of saying something/someone sucks. At the time, I thought about what I had written but then I thought '*******', the point was, has he done anything so wrong? Just to wear clothes you don't like? I felt like you had felt some personal injustice?

Well, yes. Up until now, everyone has been making out that they didn't understand that... ¬.¬

no we all understand it, probably better than you.

you're just totally incoherent, not to mention wrong about a lot of ****. also the list in your sig is dumb.

this is why you're getting the response you're getting.

You shouldn't get stressed when a child does something irritating, but when it knows that it is wrong, then it needs to learn to be less obnoxious.

Ok, so there's a new "Best of WAYWT" thread up, and I saw a thread recently (making fun of an Esquire article, I think) on how you'd spend $5,000 on a wardrobe. There are plenty of good contributions in both threads, and neither one has turned into a troll rampage (yet).
