I wear baggy pants, but they stay 2 inches bellow my belly button (on my hips). I have looked at this topic from many sides and have came to a conclusion. When you go to a public pool or beach is swimwear not underwear? AND THATS FINE? Women are walking around in BRAS and PANTIES basicly. And men are walking around in BOXERS. So next time you think a bout going to a public pool or beach just DONT because everyone is an OBSCENE INDECENT CRIMINAL. And it discusts you. I think sagging pants looks stupid.

As I was watching, I couldn't help but think of how this new fashion statement compares to when Elvis Presley became popular. Wasn't there this same kind of negative attitude towards youth and change then? Didn't the 'older' generation discourage kids from dancing a certain way and listening to rock and roll or even ban certain types of dancing and music altogether? Wait, what country is this happening in? The land of the free? Apparently the land of the free needs more rules and regulations. With our freedom we all have choices. This means we must decide how to conduct ourselves. Maybe we have forgotten the level of responsibility that we must have to keep our freedom. This responsibility includes considering how the choices we make effect others and their freedom. Consideration for others begins at home, as does self respect, social etiquette, and personal financial responsibility. When did we as a country stop teaching these things at home? When will we, as a country, start? Isn't this one of the responsibilities that come with our freedom? Will we ignore our responsibility and simply continue making laws that infringe on our freedoms? I hope not... There was an interview on TV recently with the guy who has proposed this bill in Georgia.

I don't care if someone wears baggy pants, as long as their butt is covered. Baggy pants are fine… saggy or low-cut pants are not.

Apparently, he'd spotted a group of girls me wanted to take notice and sort of strutted past them. They noticed, but it all came unhinged when his pants dropped down around his ankles and he fell flat on his face!

Must be a regional thing, or maybe I'm not getting out as much as I used to. I haven’t noticed much of the baggy pants thing here in SLC recently.
