[/B][/QUOTE]What age are you talking about? I've seen SOME teenagers doing this as part of their fashion statement . I've also seen SOME older people do this because their a$$ has simply disappeared with age. There's also plenty of "plumber's butt" jokes going around about SOME people in between those two ends of the spectrum. Whoops. Almost forgot saggy diapers too. That moved the age spectrum even lower.

The point is that something may hold true for some part of a certain segment of any age group. That doesn't mean that the same characteristic holds true for ALL the people in that age group. If you try to represent that as being so, then you are stereotyping.

And I can also say that I've seen the same values, whether they're depicted as being "good" or "bad", exhibited across a whole range of age groups- from youngsters to old farts. Doesn't mean that they are typical of any specific age group though.
