About a year or so ago I wrote a thread enquiring why you hams all seem to wear white socks, including most noticeably cops in black uniforms, ambulance personnel, et al.

Another thing I noticed from the telly and films is that you all would seem to wear bed-socks too :-)

>There was a time when no one would be caught in white socks in America. :o) You didn't need any police to enforce it. Any teen would point it out and make a fuss for them! :o) I can't recall when it was, late 60s or early 70s?

>>>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.
