What do you guys think about the silicone wrist bands that everyone's wearing now days?
I wear a yellow livestrong one, because it's supporting that cancer fund. But I think they are getting pretty dumb, because everyone has one, and there are so many different kinds now, and the fact that you can customize them, it makes it even worse. What do you guys think? |

They are not dumb. They are for a good cause. At least it shows that there are people who care in the world

Honestly? I always thought they were ugly and kinda stupid. Its like buying the different colored ribbons except some of the causes are just stupid. Red for the Electra movie?!

It's great for funding for cancer or any other causes. But it is really getting dumb now that there are a lot. Schools can now customize their own and Nike has their own bracelets. I thought it was cool when it was for a cause. But now that it's a fashion statement, it is totally lame-o.

I don't think that the bracelets are dumb.. more-so the majority of the people that wear them. They think it's some cool new fad now, but in reality.. they're for a good cause.
Most of the people at my school don't even know what the significance of the bracelets are.

I never got one myself, but I do think it's getting sorta out of hand with all the customizable ones and stuff. I don't have a problem with the original ones though because after all, they are for a good cause.

The livestrong bands were pretty cool until nike started to make them, they're so money greedy.

indeed, its is getting dumber, but braces is to show that you care but people who sell braces actually trying to make money. they dont care about caring . their just greedy and have no moral for others. thats what i think.

I love the fact that they are raising money for a good cause. If people spend ass loads of money for rolls of crappy gift wrap from their kids' school fundraiser, I don't think it hurts to pay, what, $1-$5 for a wristband that might help make an impact on the world. Gift wrap could never do that.

The ones that are for a good cause are YAY!
But the ones that are pointless like this white one that says "PLAYA" on it, it's just stupid. |

those wristband has now been a "trend". anyone who wears it for fashion is just jumping on the bandwagon. but if your serioulsy trying to support and help cancer, then its all good.

Mmm, if it's about the meaning, how can it be dumb?
You're basically saying that funding cancer research is dumb. Maybe you people who are saying that really are wearing it for the fashion. |

Its just really getting out of hand these days. Once and a while a yellow livestrong was an awesome thing, but now its a trend that wont stop. Everyone has changed the reason to wear them.

I don't really care about them. Does it make a difference when you wear em'? It doesn't really change me. Also do you wear it to advertise? >.<;; I am bit confused here.
