We still do. I will never leave my house with shorts or a sleeve-less type t-shirt. Men should not wear shorts in public, outside a sporting event.
Ah, nothing wrong with respectable shorts. Don’t be silly.
Nah, shorts are ok. Just don't draw those lines on your legs with a blue magic marker.
Really? I can’t go to the hardware store in a pair of shorts? Geez, you sound like loads of fun.
Wow, you're pretty hardcore, FRiend. That, or you have many more years behind you than I do...:-)
That being said, I firmly believe that shorts are fine given the situation (assuming the shorts are clean and presentable). Khaki shorts are dressy enough to be worn in a multitude of situations, whereas denim shorts should be worn for only much less formal situations.

Obviously you don’t live in Florida.
