I am available tonight. Kids walking around like that probably have no idea what it means. It is actually a means of advertising prostitution. |

Punishable offense. By doing this, this passive complacency to the tiny details of our rights being stripped of us, we virtually are handing them the power to own our lives on a silver platter, and you might as well thank them for turning us into a police state. |

Worthy of punishment, jail and fines? And we barely bat an eye while they strip away our rights of freedom of expression, while harming no one, no crime has been committed so they are making up this stupid sh*t to control us more and more? |

This doesn't have anything to do with dictatorship, it has to do with decency. I don't care to seee some kid trying to wear his daddy's pants that don't fit him. He's not a man. Men wear clothes that fit them. He's not cool. Cool is something everbody wants to seee and I don't know many "men" at all that wants to see andother mans draws. Grow up boys. Wear clothes that fit. Don't belittle your women, build them up. Don't disrespect everything, learn to give respect to elders, women, and generally, everyone that has to put up with your dumb shenanaghans. |

But how we dress is not, and should not become, a crime. Our freedoms are eroding away and we are welcoming that with open arms and closed eyes. |

Why exclude the hanging baggies? I don't want my rights invaded at airports but if you're gonna do that why not hike the hanging baggies. They simply don't have any business checking my id, a 54 yr old black male flying from New Orleans to Chicago. I'm not a ME religious fanatic that will kill others to further my belief. |

Let the parents take care of it. Make it a taboo society-wise, sure. But don't let the government this far into our private lives. Where we can be imprisoned based on an article of clothing we wear. That's too much. Limited government is a myth! |

Quoting: ShewolfeI see your point, and yes there is also a matter of decency. But how we dress is not, and should not become, a crime. Our freedoms are eroding away and we are welcoming that with open arms and closed eyes. Like we really, really need the fredom to show our underware in public while we are not even given the freedom to chose an unapproved medicine? |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 208180This is about freedom. No, its not. Its about really stupid habits in public. A stupid habit according to whom? The moral standards board? That's what they have in IRAN. They establish the permissible dress code. Freedom includes hearing and seeing some things you may not personally agree with. It's such a shame that so many Americans have forgotten what freedom really is, and argue for change similar to theocratic dictatorships like IRAN. You belong in IRAN, or North Korea, or Saudi Arabia. It's a shame people like yourself have US citizenship. |

And besides, you can run from the cops much faster with your pants outta your crotch. I don't know if it is worthy of arrest or fine, but I tell you this I see a kid coming towards me on the street with his crotch around his ankles and I think right off, he's a perfect victim, I can nail his ass and get his gun by just encouraging his pants to fall down a little more!!! |
