"I don't wear it, but thong underwear has gone mainstream. It's chief advantage is absence of visible panty lines, and so it is underwear of choice under sleek dresses and skirts."

The mainstream is slutville...wake up.

"the devil's panties" ??

oh lordie, just when this ridiculous thread was about to die down ...

now ya just had to go and bring the devil's sexual predilections into it!

next we'll have the homo advocates barging in, then more church folks,
and then, god forbid, the libertarians keeping the whole pot boiling ...

this one may never end !

It's always nice to see people setting up straw men to avoid explaining a fallacious argument. Good show!

[realpatriot71]

All we need to do now is tie thongs to the WOD and terrorists and we're set!

no one is telling these girlies they can't wear thongs or short skirts. they are just saying you cannot wear them to a H.S. dance. get over it. there are rules in life, follow them or not, but there is no constitutional right to be bottomless at a HS dance!

Who cares if it's a constitutional right or not? The school has no right to dictate to you what kind of underwear you do. If I wear bright red bikini does that mean that I'm worse than the girl wearing the white granny panties?

So I'm a slut because I've worn a thong underneath dress suits? Hell, if I wear em with my jeans am I a slut?

But some people seem to think thongs are "the devils panties" (have you ever seen Miss Congeniality?) and will lead to pre-marital sex and a complete breakdown of morals within society (or they are already a contributing factor).

Thongs are The Devil's Panties, and that's what most red-blooded American men love best about them. The issue here is whether or not schools have the constitutional authority to forbid certain behaviors in school or at school-sanctioned events. They do---there's a whole body of Supreme Court decisions to back it up. If this wasn't in school or it wasn't a school-sponsored event, there'd be no event here.

The simple fact is that high school students check a few "basic rights" at the schoolhouse door.

Slutville, eh? That's just down the road from Whoreburgh and Tramptown, right?

Why aren't lacy bras the devil's bras? Should schools make girls lift up their shirts to make sure girls aren't wearing Wonderbra's or other push up bras or water bras, etc?

well obviosly, any slut that would wear thongs has a lack of morals such as would lead her to being a junkie
(whether she was ever subjected to a skirt search or not), and once she takes the inevitable step to junkie,
who knows what evil ...

foflmao !

wkwe - courtesy ping, since i used your line

"It is a matter of teaching virtue and chastity and not be duplicitous."

I'm not sure what kind of underwear one wears has to do with Virtue and chastity. but if it makes you feel better, then by all means force your moral authority on all of us.

I have no more moral authority here than you but I do have an opinion whether you like it or not. And you just placed the word *fool* on your own forehead by implying that my opinion forcefully carries more moral weight than yours. Teenage girls wearing thongs are acting like sluts. That is my opinion. If parents want their daughters to hold their virginity as something of value then they wouldn't allow it. But then those parents see the mainstream as decrepit and decadent.

Yes! Panty lines will prove your virginity!! Through away those chastity belts girls and grab your girdles! We're going for a ride!

...or water bras, etc?

hey, easy there !

water bras have saved many a good woman from the dreaded front/back labeling !

speaks from experience...

maybe in your little perverted world,
but here in the blue states we still take part in our childrens
lives, underwear does not make the man,
and wearing a thong does not make one a slut.

[general_re]

If we can't search teenage girls for thong underwear and frilly undergarments, then the terrorists have already won...

Well, I, for one, am not going to let that happen. I love my country, and if that's what it takes, so be it.

what a standup guy !
no wonder you're a general - a man with a true grasp !

btw sir, are we headed to cheeseville yet ?
my moose usually knows, but he's at lunch...

Lacy bras aren't the devil's bras---sheer ones from Victoria's Secret are. And come now, schools shouldn't make girls lift up their shirts to police their bras.

The issue here was one of short skirts and thong panties at a school dance. Even though the story doesn't tell the backstory, you don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure out what was probably happening before all this went down: the school probably had a couple of instances at school dances where short skirts over thongs led to a lot of visible ass and a lot of raging hormones and inappropriate public behavior and all that kind of happy horsesh*t---hell, I was a teenager less than 15 years ago myself, I know what goes on. Stuff, in fact, that may be actionable and the school held liable for (use your imagination).

So the VP or whomever probably set and circulated a policy forbidding thongs under short skirts at the next dance. NBFD.

The VP was probably overzealous if in fact she did lift skirts to perform a panty check, but she's certainly w/i her rights as a school administrator to make that sort of rule and enforce it. See general_re's posts on this thread for more info.

DC, get a grip, i should have said try to force your morals on us,
, " That is my opinion. If parents want their daughters to hold their virginity as something of value then they wouldn't allow it."
So in your opinion I shouldn't let my daughters wear a thong
because I am encouraging her to be a slut
If that is your view, then I feel sorry for your kids,
and by the way don't brand me a fool,
momma said call no man a fool

[general_re]

We're rapidly drifting that way ;)

[tomkat]

...hell, I was a teenager less than 15 years ago myself...

then THAT is my problem with all this !
[slaps forehead]

when i was a teenager, girls wore those hideous platform shoes
that put all but the sub-4 footers out of reach, thong or no ...
