The schools have been trying to fight this since I was in high school back in 1999. Even before that, in middle school, there were rules about clothes. For the girls they could were skirts if they were higher than the length of there arms. And no one could show there underwear or what not. This is nothing new really.

I will say though, in defense of us "skinny" people. Sometimes our pants just will not stay up. I have NO butt. At all. Belt or no, my pants will fall. I am 29 years old, and I still constantly get comments about keeping my pants up. Its hard! If I tighten my belt so they will stay up, I cut off circulation around my hips and I get marks from having my pants so tight. But if I loosen them up just one notch from that. No luck, my pants will fall.

So sometimes its not our fault Just saying.

My fellow libertarians better have no question
as to how they would vote on this bill.
Right Libertarians?

That's why I wear my pants with a shoe-lace. With shoe-laces, you can control how tight or how lose they are. I'm the complete opposite of you. I have a fairly big bottom, so I have to get jeans that are too-loose around my hips just to get it up around my bum. With my shoe-lace "belt", I can control having my pants where they need to be without worrying of them falling.

Ha ha! So if my boxers show when i'm bending or leaning then I could get fined!?
Damn I wonder how much I'd get for showing some plumber.

Sorry about all the edits in my last post....just got back from the dentist...nuff said. zzzzzzzzzzz

Trend started in prison - inmates were not allowed to have belts or shoe strings because they were used as weapons or use them to commit suicide. Then in the early 90's rap artist came out in videos with the sagging pants imitating inmates in an attempt to achieve a "tough" image.

Most fads usually don't last longer than 10 years, but this ridiculous fad is approaching 20 years! I don't know, but do young women really think this looks attractive? These guys look like clowns, they waddle like chickens down the street or look like toddlers with their diapers full.

The only thing good about this fad, is thugs will commit crimes with sagging pants. They're not the smartest tool in the tool box when they think they can out run the police and climb fences while they're trying to hold their pants up.

I bolded a bit of text there because I think it is important. He does not think this should be legislation!!! He saw a problem and tried to solve it on his own.

Imagine that. Someone showing personal responsibility and supporting true American values by providing leadership. Unheard of.

The only problem with dress code type things I ever had in school was my wallet chain. I mean a huge chain, the kind people put on monster dogs, secured to my belt loop with a climbing carabiner. Looking back on that, I can see why, I coulda busted open some heads with that thing

If the law is aimed at targeting indecent exposure of body parts arent there already indecent exposure laws?

Why the redundancy?

Because this law clearly has nothing to do with indecent exposure of "body parts". They are simply saying people can't wear their pants low, regardless of what they have underneath, because some people apparently think it's indecent. It's like saying "not only can you not be nude, you must be wearing several layers of clothes in the way they are intended to be worn". It's absolutely absurd, the retards making these laws are clearly not sane.

Can we outlaw cowboy hats too while we're at it? They're a gun slingin' bunch, cowboys. I know from TV.

We should be throwing these people out of office like yesterday. Priorities must be from another planet.

In prison saggy pants also connotes the inmate is open to anal sex.

Am I the only one that finds this ironic? The same generation that rebelled against school mandated haircuts and skirt lengths is now imposing the same rules from th legislature.

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss

I actually like this law, and wondered when they'd get it going.

sagging pants down past your waisteline is actually indecent exposure...women can't do it.

Why can men?

Women can't do it? Notice any trends at the beach about who can show more?

Should cleavage be indecent exposure? When's the last time you saw a male with his mid drift showing.

Women are allowed to show off their body and it's accepted. Sagging pants isn't the problem, the problem is people that dislike those that are poorer, blacker, and younger.

A young white guy with his pants low would hardly be as much of a problem as if it was a black guy.
