SAY GOODBYE YOU BAGGY PANTSED FAGGOTS...

[Jaimecbr900]

If you roll around w/ dogs - do not be surprised if you stand up w/ fleas. Why would want to project any image of yourself that is not true to life?

Winner, winner, chicken dinner!!!!

This is what kills me. You see someone, pants down to their ankles, 2 pair of boxers showing, shoes untied, hat sideways, wife beater on, gold grill......yet they will look you dead in your eye and tell you they're NOT trying to be like anyone else.....they are expressing how "individual" they are......:jerkit: Umm, no, you're actually 1 of a gazillion other wannabe followers that think since it looks cool on your favorite rapper it MUST look cool on you.....

the aclu is filing suit against saying it is racial profiling

Told you it would happen.....

NAACP is next, watch. Same NAACP that yesterday called a damn news conference to announce that they thought Mike Vick was being railroaded and we shouldn't rush to judgement.....eventhough he's about to PLEAD GUILTY.....Hmmm, so someone pleads GUILTY and we shouldn't "rush" to judgement......HELLOOOO, there is not much "judgement" necessary when someone pleads GUILTY.......

What valid purpose is there for the NAACP now???

[Crazy Asian]

racial profiling!!! HAHHAHHA That's funny.

[Shawna]

So... there is only 1 race that busts slack? This suit will get laughed at.

I agree to me it makes no sense but whatever they want to waste their money on...I dare a cop to give me a ticket for my bra strap showing. Sometimes that is something that cannot be helped

[Shawna]

ok the whole baggy pants thing ok I can understand but you shouldnt give someone a ticket for it. plain and simple sometimes it cant be helped. they need to go after the manufacturers that make the clothing instead of someing after the people that buy it. as long as it is there to buy people are going to continue to buy it and not care and just feed the hate for the cops giving the tickets out

[v3rd1g0]

So i must ask, did anyone actually read the whole article? It was my understanding at the end they specifically said that they had no intention for the law to pass, but to bring it to everyones attention as a problem that should be discussed. I noticed a lot of people freaking out like "ZOMG THEY CAN'T DO THAT"

[Shawna]

on the radio this morning they said that they ARE in fact taking it to the state to have it passed as of today

[Jaimecbr900]

Ummm, normally I agree with you, but WHAT?????

It's called supply and demand. If the DEMAND wasn't there, they damn sure wouldn't make them. It's NOT the manufacturers fault that people wear the pants down to their ankles. It is a trend. They HAVE TO go with it or they will starve themselves out of the market.

There is a big difference between you walking down the street and a little bit of your bra strap showing because you're totting 2 kids, a stroller, and a bag of groceries to the car and some idiot that is walking down the road with pants so big that they have to HOLD on to them to keep them from falling off. There's a big difference.

[Shawna]

hahah sorry doing to many things at once plus being hungry that's what I was trying to say that as long as people are going to buy them they are going to make them so the issue wont go away bc the manufacturers are going to make them. the only way to get the issue to stop is to go to the companies and tell them they cant make certian styles of whatever



as for the bra thing i dont go around parading what I am wearing underneath my clothing but in the case of carrying grocerys out to the car or moving something Im sorry I not concerned about my bra showing

You're still saying the same thing.

You can't dictate what a manufacturer makes (as long as it's legal of course). The market (supply and demand) is what drives what that manufacturer makes. If this was a country run by a dictator, sure that would happen in a minute. As it is, what we need to do is quit thinking it's "cool" to walk around like some nimrod with our pants at our ankles and underwear hanging out.

True, but women are the exception here. If a little thong peeks out or something, that's cool. Guys....not cool. Good looking woman....very cool. Wannabe's with wife beaters.....not cool. Thong showing with some butt dimples....very very cool.

[tony]

The libertarian in me wants to say the state or government should not be able to dictate what trends are acceptable but I do understand the perception part of it, especially tourist attractions that the state makes revenue on.

Can't really say where I stand on the baggy pants subject, I hate it just as much as you guys but whats next? You can't drop your car low to the ground? Can't use aftermarket wheels because it gives the perception of being a street racer or a gangsta? People and the local government need to tread lightly when it comes to laws like this one.

"Little children see it and want to adopt it, thinking it's the in thing," Martin said Wednesday. "I don't want young people thinking that half-dressing is the way to go. I want them to think about their future."

What does wearing big clothes have any thing to do with a person's future?

Moreso why does someone on the street have more of an influence on a child than the damn PARENTS?

[Psycho]

If this bill does go into effect it will bring the judiciary system to a screeching halt in Georgia. As the court systems sit, Georgia only has the man power to bring 20% of the court cases to a trial by judge or jury. The system depends on the other 80% of cases copping a plea after the first hearing. If they start bringing every youth in Atlanta to court, the courts will be overwhelmed. On top of that, I think a better way of helping children think about their future would be to use tax dollars to improve schools instead of using the money to prosecute them for how they dress/look.

[nreggie454]

Why? Because it raises a standard of decency? Infringement on personal expression is a load of crap. If that were the case, then people could walk around nude claiming that it's their freedom of expression and the government can't constrict that.

Kinda funny tidbit: the only time a woman can legally show her breasts in public is when she is protesting the fact that it is illegal to show your breasts in public.

Basically, if this law were to get passed, people could still claim it was a infringement on their personal expression and wear saggy pants out of protest. Also, people might argue that the new law could be a segue into questionably legal searches and seizures.

In short, I think that this law won't get passed or work if it actually does. There are too many people that do it, it would waste too much time to enforce it, and a shitload of people would be up in arms about it.

[noridetoolow]

/\ there is a line that needs to be drawn though.....I can go nude and say its my personal way of expression....that will not make it right or legal.


I keep hearing the word "perception" but I dont feel perception has anything to do with it. Yes...based on perception every one of us with a slammed out ride or even just custom rims is a gansta or a punk trash kid in "someones" eyes. This is not about perception but about decency. As it stated:

The proposed ordinance states that "the indecent exposure of his or her undergarments" would be unlawful in a public place. It would go in the same portion of the city code that outlaws sex in public and the exposure or fondling of genitals.
Who cares what the perception is? There will never be a way to impact EVERYONES perception of something we do unless we all wore the same cloths, had the same hair and make up, talked the same, etc.... So what if I "look" like the same punk that drives through your neighborhood doin 60 mph...just because I have rims on my car...I cannot help that someone out there will look at me ( perceive me in that way because of someone elses actions ..... that is unless I drive a stocker....NOOOOOOOO!!!!! ) but either way....that is not the point. The fact is that it is indecent..... having to look as some dudes underwear with his pants hanging BELOW his butt cheeks ( yes, McDonalds about a month ago.....YUCK ) with boxer briefs no less! Its stupid and makes you look ignorant. Yes.....everyones perception or better yet, OPINION of what is indecent will be different...we cannot help that but there has to be a line drawn. Bra straps and a thong here and these.....I kinda like but its not really "indecent" either way....girls are not going out of their way...usually...to show these off. But the saggy pants and underwear? Come on.....thats blatant and ignorant. I hope they make it illegal....IMO....cops should be doing something about it right now....I think it already falls into laws of indecency.

all that said......there are the chicks out there that dont seem to be able to match the bra straps to the dress or top they have on.....this can usually be found in the trailer trash parts of town.....this BTW....is not the hotness. LOL

They should start fining every one of these morons as well. More money for the state and hopefully, if the streetards start getting tired of paying fines, it'll go away fairly quickly.

[Stormhammer]

ehh, I'm for it. If you can't bother buying pants that fit you properly, nor wear a belt tight enough to actually hold up your pants, then no comment. Nobody will be going to court for it, just tickets given out it seems, so I highly doubt the court system will be overwhelmed, and I can only imagine any such ticket would be minor in terms of paying

I actually find this sorta amusing cause last night I was wearing an article on growing up for guys and it came to fashion, and baggy pants was a bereaved symbol of adolescene, where really the only people who wear it are rappers in music videos, 95% of them don't dress like that in public, except maybe Jay Z, but he shows up in a Ferrari, which pretty much then goes to a who cares what you wear, but unless you drive a Ferrari, man up, buy some decent clothes.

Ah, this brings back so many great high school memories of when I'd always shag the black people at my bus stop

[BABY J]

LMAO!!! I like that - "until u drive a Ferrari, at least try to LOOK like you got some damn sense... since you OBV have no money." LMAO!!! I mean damn, ur already labeled when you pull up in a 17 year old Civic - at least have a pair of pants on that fits. LOL

you're labeled even worse when you're seen driving a hoopty 80s cutlass with 20+" rims that cost more than the car. But imagine you watching it park, and seeing a young african american stepping out, wearing properly fitted jeans and a well fitting tshirt. Surprised?

Heh heh.

Fuck that bullshit. Stop trying to control every little thing we do.

[BABY J]

^^ Shut up. Sit down. Brush ya teeth. Slow down. Pull ya pants up. I'm still the LAW off up in and 'round dis bitch!!!

[VooDooXII]

Hah, glad I got past that phase...in the eighth grade.

[Jaimecbr900]

What exactly is it that anyone finds attractive about this anyway? Honestly.

go ask some girl who tries to get her crunk on! -snaps mah fingers while 2-steppin-

[BluesClues]

I doubt it will pass because how people wear their clothes is part of the freedom act and the choice to express yourself as pleased. Plus lets all realize that Atlanta is known for their diversity and art culture. You can't be artistic if you can't express yourself and the way you dress would be considered expressing yourself. But hey that's just my opinion

[Stormhammer]

^^ you're just mad that you wont get to be able to show off your thong

[ep9716]

WTF Thats The Gayest Shit EVA! They Can Tell You What To Wear.

[BluesClues]

^^ you're just mad that you wont get to be able to show off your thong

I have more class than that honey

[Stormhammer]

I have more class than that honey

you're mad that your homeboy can't be crunk-like?

[Maniaç]

About fucking time..

[BluesClues]

you're mad that your homeboy can't be crunk-like?

Huh?

[0p7!mu5]

it wont pass because there are too many people it would offend althought I do kinda like the idea to a point. I mean its hard enough gettin mistaken for hangin fiddy cent down the street and I don't let my shit sag. What's the point? If I gotta run i aint tryin to buss my ass off my pants. Most retarder fashion idea since fuckin member's only jackets...

[ahmonrah]

the way i look at it.

if peoples want to fuck up their gait/hips on account of having to walk around fucked up like the "torn boxers thug clan" does, then fuck it. i'm not the one looking at hip displacia(sp?) or snickers 'cause my boxers crept into my crack VISIBLY, nor am i increasing my "criminal capture" rate on account that i "almost got away shawty, but ah gotdammed tripped shawty!!" meanwhile the arresting officer and co-workers crack jokes on their arrests after debriefing on how "that last perp was fast! and almost got away but he tripped when his pants fell off! hell they were already below his ass when i gave chase!!!! so i jogged....."

i've got a cousin now with hip issues cause he didnt listen to me when i told him, "i'm only 7years older than you(he's 21 now), we wore our pants saggy, but the gay shit y'all doin now? rediculous...i mean damn dawg, folks older than me originated the fad, and the makers of pants started this thing called 'LOOSE FIT' and y'all still get jeans 8sizes too big. oh well, mark my words, keep wearing them like that, you and grand dad (83yrs old) will be in adjoining Operating rooms."

[Hektik]

I'm all for it.. saggin jeans is disgustin and well the thong thing at least they would be able to tell the fat nasty bitches who think theyre hot, showing theyre thongs to pay up... i dont see how it could be labeled as a racial thing considering females of all races were pants that show of their underwear.

[d993s]

I hope it does pass.

It's amazing how the lowest levels of "monkey see, monkey do" spread like a virus.

this should also be applied to the fatties who wear shirts that expose those ginormous belly buttons

[0p7!mu5]

^^ werd.. I dont think it should be a law so much as the fact that people need to get some damn sense. It really makes them look like hobo's. That plus the crappy Dread jobs with 9 sizes too big wife beaters and sweats (in the summer?!) is making my peers lookin like a bunch of homeless Jamacans (no offense to jamacans), or at least what buckwheat would look like in this day and age. And ladies who think the thong showing is cute when theya re ugly ass hell need to be hanged by their thongs or at least put on a street corner on peactree st. At least they would be doing something constructive. THat shit sickens me

[chrisdavis]

Who's standard of decency does it raise? What one person deems acceptable, another may deem obscene. What would come next after this gets passed? Since this is about showing boxer shorts and bra straps, do we ban swimtrunks and bikinis because of the similarities between them and underwear?
