"If you had a 13 year old daughter, you'd probably feel a lot different

i agree with you completely. having a teen right now, in this environment, makes a world of difference in outlook on this, in my opinion."

Yep. I am probably old enough to be realpatriot's grandma but I still have young kids. I've been happily married for 23 years. My perspective and my priorities are very different because of that - very different than realpatriot.

I have seen the culture change from the 50's through the 60's to the present. There is social decay but most seem too obtuse to recognize it. And the problem of teen girls wearing thongs to highschool compounded by the school official abusing them in a voyeuristic manner, (laughable as it might seem to some on the surface)is a microcosm of the greater society.

And that social decay is due to risque underwear!

The idea that what a person wears UNDER their clothing somehow dictates the way a person acts or makes that person who they are is outdated and puritanical at best. Thongs are UNDERWEAR nothing more nothing less. It's YOUR conotation that makes them "naughty" or "bad" not the particular underwear themselves. You can blame sex, drugs, and rock n' roll for the moral degeneration of scoiety, and probably make good arguments, but underwear?! Sorry, but I am not "too obtuse" to recognize anything - underwear are just that, underwear. If you have a problem with thongs, that's your problem not the underwear's nor the girl's.
