Kind of see it every day, since I'm unfortunately well known in my school for not talking to everyone (Being popular that way counts more to the negative there, gais.). There are people I don't respect in RL. This people won't hear a single word from me towards them.
I kinda share the same sitattion, in my school, and other facilities I am affiliated with, there are a lot of people that simply don't deserve my time and I try to avoid them as much as possible, the problem is that they simply do not leave me alone just because I dare not to "be like them" and of course here comes punching and bulling and I end up being punched, and punished by the teachers/principal/etc if I try to "counter-attack".
Sometimes you need to take risks for the truth to be stated. Regardless of what the effect will be in the end. Injustice must be fought with justice, ie through pacifism or rebellion.
The thing is, though, you have to think when you talk about how people make themselves appear. Why do they dye their hair? Why do they have piercings on their ears, nose, and lips? Are they trying to stand out? Are they insecure? Maybe they don't like the way they look? Having self-taught myself a bit of sociology and the study of human nature, stress is a major factor in a person's appearance, and how they act. Not enough sleep? You'll slack on your work. Worried about something? You'll rush or mess up. Angry? You'll break things.
Sometimes it's just because they want to be like someone else, and be accepted in society. Look at BoTDF and all their fans, or the BroArmy. Look at the BroniePegasister union. They're all people looking to be accepted by someone, however they can. And the same can be said for a lot of what you complained over. Including drinking and drugs.
In all honesty, all of what you said about human nature is what you exhibit as well. You pride your country, and talk about it with pride, standing for it's culture, but you are against its people. If you're going to complain about humanity, you need to include yourself in the population as a whole, otherwise you exhibit hypocrisy.
