>>I dont see how it would never work. ever, ever, ever.
>>Sure, I think its ridicilious when I see a guy walking around with his underware hanging out and his jeans around his knees...but then again I dont think the government should be making laws about how people dress either, plus this is a law that is obviously aimed at black folks. With all the stuff going on these days you'd think you'd want to keep the police busy on something else.
>>I'd be interested to hear what others think about it. Personally I don't think we need the pigs harrasing guys based on how they dress. Just because someone has such poor social skills they dress like a fool ya shouldn't make it a criminal act. Is this somehow offensive? ooooh I see yer boxer shorts! I'm calling 911! eeek! eeek! gawwwd get over it! "....The proposed ordinance would also bar women from showing the strap of a thong beneath their pants. They would also be prohibited from wearing jogging bras in public or show a bra strap...." - yeaaah riiiiight. Hey you put that law into effect out here in Ft. Lauderdale and 70% of the girls on my beach will be getting tickets. Stoooooopid.
>>Hopefully the American Civil Liberties Union can help put a stop to this.

It's not just a 'black thing'. I was doing a grocery store run at lunch here in a fairly affluent (mostly white) area and saw a kid who's pants were so lose (and low) that the belt loops were on the same level as his anus. Thankfully, he was wearing underware, since everyone could see dang near ALL of the underware, but every other step he was pulling his pants up.

And when you're spending all of your time pulling up your pants, you're not going to work well at a 'fast' food restaurant, or any restaurant for that matter. Would you want your food served by someone who just pulled up their pants?
