A Chicago suburb passed a law that bans sagging pants. Is this right? I think it's a pretty bad fashion, yes, but is it indecent? As long as they're wearing underwear, what's the big deal?

I don't think the law is constitutional and could be challenged as such.


Common decency is all that's needed to tell people they looks like idiots when they dress that way.

Are there really that many guys doing this anymore? What is this, 1995?

I think the law will actually backfire. Now that the trend is "being persecuted" it's cooler.

I agree it's not up to lawmakers, but the change must happen at a grassroots level, to inform those who sag that it looks silly, and that by pulling up your pants you would no longer need your arms as suspenders!

yes, many, many guys!

And still you can wear a big ass rebel flag belt buckle anywhere you want.


I'm not saying that should be banned too, but why ban sagging pants? Of course, I don't want to see someone's ass or junk, but I think most people understand what decency is. To pass a blanket law like that just seems...odd.

Imago said:

yeah it's purely an opinion based law. Not dangerous, like your stalking of Anx!

INSATIABLE said:

Good lord, are there ever ...There are guys around where I live who wear their damn pants down to their thighs and hanging onto the waistband as they walk around...looks stupid as hell . I guess there would be some parents who aren't too happy having their 5 year old daughters seeing these guys walking around with their pants down. Or maybe not, hell, I dunno lol...



grrr...

Good! I think's ridiculous for kids to walk around like that,with their underwear showing

I'm moving there

not because of pants

but and live there!

okay just this morning i saw a young man on the street holding up his pants. they were literally down around his knees and his entire ass and drawers were hanging out.

he was crossing the street and he had to kind of . . .hobble because his pants were interfering with his ability to walk

AND he thought he was cool

SoulAlive said:

I do too, but is it harming anyone?

I think the law is one of those "they must be doing something else wrong" laws that allows the police to mess with a target group.

NDRU said:

More or less...

ZombieKitten said:

What do you mean? I don't live in Chicago!

NDRU said:

you're

NDRU said:

That's it exactly.

Pathetic.

Who cares if people show 3 inches of underwear?

men in that suburb should purposefully not zip their flies.
