Does it upset when guys wearing crappy, douchy clothing get complimented?

I wonder how the economic crisis has impacted on the illegal narcotics market.

I think you were joking, but it's the Laffer curve (named after Art Laffer)

It depends for me on who the person is doing the compleminting. The person could be just as douchly dressed as the guy is which would not bother me at all see as it would be like a blind leading the blind thing. Any other time I will bring the complemnt into question adn also the sanity of the complementor. Not that it happens that often but it is hard to keep my opinions to myself, that is why I am on here so much.

It annoys me in the sense that there's a collective mindset that suffers everytime this happens. Back then, everyone was dressed up, even the poor folk. Now we have ppl getting complimented on douchy clothing. There's a culture that has been thrown out the window.

It's been renamed since the conclusion was laughable
