Actually, he does have some good points about how Americans are
slovenly and don’t dress properly. People in Kazakhstan are horrified
to see Americans in jeans and dirty sneakers (what! you don’t polish
your black leather shoes three times a day!!!!). I am always a little
surprised by the number of people that come to the legislature to
testify in committee in jeans and casual clothes. I love casual
office wear and comfortable clothes, but a lot of people in America
really have lost the ability to dress properly based on the occasion.
And considering how little most Americans read, know about history,
(non-pop) music, and culture, maybe George Will does have a point
about connection between the lazy appearance and worst instincts of
Americans.

But George Will definitely paints with too broad a brush when he
brings in gamers:

“Seventy-five percent of American ‘gamers’ — people who play video
games — are older than 18 and nevertheless are allowed to vote.”

I play “video games”, but I am perfectly able to wear a suit to work,
dress in clothes other than jeans, and be an informed citizen and
voter. I assume he is exaggerating for satirical effect, but video
games and slovenly clothing (outside the home) aren’t necessarily
linked. of course, if George Will had seen me alone in my apartment,
unbathed, unkempt, playing WoW for 10 hours and subsisting on turkey
sandwiches and carrot sticks, he might be justified in concluding that
I was unable of functioning or dressing properly in society…
