    I digagree, most people just like the shape/ colours of the jewellry- they're not meant to hold religious worth. You don't have to be religious to like a shape or design.
    But I doubt they would wear clothes emblazoned with any other religious iconography. The christian cross has such strong religous connotations that I doubt you would go for it purely because you liked the shape. I would never wear it just because I'm not christian and doing so would feel wrong, and hypocritical...

    I don't see why people like you think it is such an issue, it has been adapted over time and is now a fashion accessory as well as an important religious symbol- it isn't I don't think offending anyone to be honest and if it is then you're just too sensitive and need to get over youself.

    I can see we aren't going to agree on this...

    It doesn't offend me in the slightest, but it makes me feel uneasy when religious paraphenalia is sold as 'fashion' - just like those jesus bracelets.

    I don't really get those Jesus bracelets but some jewellry with crosses on is nice and tasteful, it also looks completely different to serious religious jewellry like the type sold in Argos :rolleyes:

    Even anime's have used images of the cross. Even on Sailor Moon someone was put on the cross (and that's probably just because it looked cool.

    Loads of people were probably crucified back in those days.

    Anyway back to the topic...

    Those chinos and trousers that have elasticated bottoms... reminds me of those horrible jogging bottoms I had to wear as a kid

    Also the trousers that have a really low lying crotch, it makes you legs look tiny!
    And t-shirts i saw one that said "If you can read this get back in the kitchen and make me a sandwich" Except it was on a weedy ginger kid...

    Girls with Ramones/Sex Pistols or other punk themed tops, then there leggings with printed peace symbol. Makes sense mixing hippy culture with punk? Educate yourself. Peace and Anarchy dont mix.
    I'd be willing to bet a hardcore Ramones fan wouldn't be seen dead in a Ramones t-shirt.

    There's a girl at my work who does this (office environment) with a top that's a bit longer than normal but not a long fit one, I don't know how she hasn't been pulled in for it!
