    Personally have grown up in the 90's, I "sag my pants" primarily because I'm used to it, and beside, why would someone immediately look at my ###? Unless it was a hot chick, keep your eyes looking ahead right?


    As to these silly laws, they have it on the books so they can have provocation, does anyone complain when you see girl's bra straps wearing a tank top? Hell no you don't, yet, same principle.

    People need to look past clothing people wear, quit judging books by their covers, that simple minded thinking and only shows how closed minded people can be. Last I check, here in America, I can wear the clothing I choose, how I choose. If I wanted to walk around with underwear on my head all day, well, so be it.

    Oh and best believe I'm not changing my appearance to please some idiot with a tiny brain, I #### well will "sag my pants" in the truck, out the truck, basically whenever I want to. I've never been offended with fat people in tiny clothing, or fat hairy dudes wearing white beaters, it's not too hard to look at something else as opposed to getting my under roos in a bunch.

    With any luck saggy pants will go the way of bell bottoms and leisure suits. I agree you have the right to look and dress any way you please. Unfortunately the majority of America thinks walking around with your pants hanging off your ##### makes you look ridiculous. Not nearly as ridiculous as some fat chick in low rise pants with her front butt hanging over but you get what I'm saying. One day that idiot with the tiny brain telling you to change your appeareance is going to be your boss. It sucks but some times you just have to conform to society in some way or other. But looking at the way some drivers present themselves nowadays, you should be golden.

    Well lets look at some facts, not assumptions:

    My girlfriend has like how I've looked for the last 16 years. My daughter loves me to death regardless of how I look. My friends, all enjoy hanging out with me. So essentially, all the people that actually matter in my life haven't any issues with my appearance.

    As far as the gentleman who doesn't like my looks, well, he wouldn't ever be my boss because I'd tell him to lick my ssac, as Zac Brown puts it. In my 35 years on earth, actually, no one has said anything to my face how I look, and as a computer programmer, I've dealt with suits allot. If anything, my look weeds out the asholes that I don't want to know anyways.

    Ok, do what you like... but think about it from your employer's perspective. If I owned your company and heard you were sagging while representing my company, we'd have a talk, and if it continued, you 'd sag somewhere else.

    I don't single out sagging pants as the only unprofessional garment style... if you weigh 400 lbs and your belly shows from underneath, or you're a female who dresses like a stripper, or you only wear dirty sweats and don't shower, or whatever.

    What you wear to the club or the beach is nobody's business - you can look like a frikkin clown if you want to... but your employer may take issue with it.

    My sister in law just retired after 26 years in the Texas Corrections System... she left as a Captain, next down from the warden at the Clements Unit. She told me a LONG time ago that the reason folks in prison wear their paints down with their underoos showing is to do one of two things: (1) they're advertising that they already HAVE a boyfriend, or (2) they're looking for one.

    That's a standard in prisons everywhere, and I think it is absolutely funny as hell that hip hop guys think its cool. You guys run with that, and I'll snicker everytime you guys walk by.
