My god, that is really sad. Wat on earth does anybody expect to achieve by this?? What a waste of taxpayers money if all the politicians can do is come up with a ban on boxers being seen above the waistline of baggy pants.

sometimes referred to as the "droopy drawers" bill -- is excessive and would encourage racial profiling, arguing that exposed underwear is simply a fashion statement by mostly black youths.

This is not a fashion statement. This is an intelectual statement. Just like 35 piercings or unnatural hair color is is a statement by the afflicted that he/she is clueless and wishes for everyone to know that fact.

what can be even more stupid? This piece of legislation and the morons behind it.

Delegate Lionell Spruill Sr., Chesapeake Democrat, said the bill violates the Constitution. "This is a foolish bill because it will hurt so many,"

MrSpruill, It aint going to hurt anybody to pull up their Go&da%m pants!

What about Japanese "Butt Skirts"? (all the rage in Japan...)

The skirts shown above are not actually see-through. They have a print of somebody's buns on them.

The one below looks to be the real thing:


Gotta just love Japan!

"Get Rid of Kids Wearing Pants Down to Their Knees"

"Get Rid of Politicians With This Kind of Time on Their Hands"

Yes it's ugly and annoying but it's called freedom and we don't need the Taliban here, thank you

Ours is a very strange society. It's ok to wear next to nothing on a beach or at a pool, but not ok to wear that same outfit shopping in a mall or on the street. However, it's not acceptable in our society to expose underwear in public, even though most underwear covers much more than beach wear. So, the lawmakers want no underwear showing above pants or skirts. Then, is the solution to keep the underwear behind the pants or skirt and just show skin. Then we run into the problem of public indecent exposure. Why can't we just all get along, and keep our underwear just that! Under wear.

Wasn't that the platform that Bill the Cat ran on in Opus recently? Didn't help him get reelected, though....

My kid thinks his hips ARE his waistband...but I have hope. His older brother who used to be even worse about droopy pants got to where he liked adult pants as he grew up...

Isn't the 'baggy pants' chi chi thing also called 'jailin''? In the pokey, the cops take away your belt, so your pants are loose. Those who wear baggy pants are imitating being under arrest.

The Lovely Wife and I lift weights daily at a beautiful YMCA just up the street. We're rather known in the weight room there.

Couple of days ago we're doing our workout, and I see this teenaged kid (yes, a white kid) whose sweats were pulled down below his hips. Yes, THAT far. He had on a white t shirt, but his boxers were clearly visible.

I walked over to him as he was talking to some sweet young thing...........leaned over, and spoke into his ear "Pull your pants up; there are ladies present."

He looked shocked, said "what?".........I repeated myself.

Trust me when I tell you that one look at me, he complied and quickly.

My wife simply said "Thank you" to me.

Why legislate? Just ridicule them to death. Anytime I see one of those morons walking down the street with his pants sagging down to his ankles and the top of his underwear showing, I just point at him and start laughing.

Trust me, that upsets them alot more than a stupid law would.

"A bill that will target blacks"??? Oh, puleeze! In some parts of the country, more "other minorities" and "not minorities" are sporting droopy drawers than blacks. And here's Bill Cosby trying to get "the community" to clean-up its act and stop being so offensive, and the usual "racial mongerers" are being entirely TOO SILENT on the subject of his being aggressively "sued". Much too silent.

Let me just add to the mix here, Mr. Spruill -- is obesity a problem or not? You know how hard it is to run, even walk, in droopy drawers? And do you really want to see obese females sporting thongs and see through garb? What's next? Loin Cloths as a fashion statement?

Oops.. I just let the cat out of the bag...

When I see baggy pants, it makes me want to find the nearest staple gun to keep them in place.
