I'm much more offended by seeing some teen's g-string panties than some boy's boxers. Banning baggy pants won't do anything to prevent girls from showing off their unders, or stop the spread of gangs. Maybe they should make a law about not showing your underpants, and get it over with. Then again, if they say 'no baggy pants', will the police stop everyone wearing loose pants, or will they only enforce underwear showing? Making any new ordinance is a risk to freedom, just because some officers may improperly use the law to accost innocent folks who aren't showing their unders, but are wearing loose clothes. I'd really hate to give the government more authority to bother innocent people who aren't damaging themselves or others when we can't even stop murder and rape. We should work on the big stuff first. Guess I'm going to have to chime in with 'no new laws' unless they are to protect the safety of the community. Putting out new laws in order to protect someone's delicate sensibilities is ridiculous. Laws like this are way to close to legally enforcing morality, and that's only a half-step from enforcing a manditory religion or faith.

They can only function with one hand because the other is held constantly poised and in reserve for checking against total fall downs. This means they are only half as productive when it comes to supporting the future of social security and that's not good. The second is: the origins of this style are in prison, where prisoners are not allowed to have belts and it's called "sagging." I think, in general, it's not a good plan to base an entire fashion genre for our youth on prison garb. On the other hand, surely the police have better things to do...

I saw more fanny's, cleavage, belly and thigh than I ever thought possible. The school had a dress code but it was very difficult to administer. Believe it or not we were told that we were violating the students 1st amendment rights by telling them how to dress. Once that news got out I wondered what was going to stop them from wearing their bikinis and speedos to school. I worked at a high school for 14 years.
