I immediately thought of Flea when I read Vlad's comment!

Yeah, I went to a college party where many of the guys did the sock thing. I didn't stay long. It was just too unappitizing trying to drink and getting 'doinked' every where I turned. The girls all had a blast though. Most of the guys that were dressed ended up at the bar with me before too long. LOL

shouldnt be illegal because it is a personal choice, but however if you are a grown man doing something like this, dont expect to be taken seriously

Unless and until it's illegal for girls to have exposed bra straps and/or low cut jeans exposing their thong, then these idiots should be allowed to show their (not so sexy) boxers.

Shouldn't waste the courts time for something so silly. Personally I don't like it at all. But people have a right to look as stupid as they want to.

That's how it is with my son too. I don't really like that he sags but as long as his rear is covered I'm not going to tell him how to dress.

I have never seen a "no underwear" sag on anyone other that in the picture above.

Neither have I.

Only on heavy-set plumbers, electricians and cable repairmen.

Lol Matt, I stand corrected.

Stop profiling! At least they are out making their own living and not setting around on their dead asses waiting for a 'handout'.

Ok up the creek... It was a joke. Breathe...

Don't forget mechanics!!! : P I see it being the only female mechanic in the shop ALL THE TIME!

Hey Aubrey, feel free to go down to Home Depot or Lowes and put some caulk into any crack you see :P (it would cover up the problem AND give the offenders a hint -- WIN WIN!!)

I see it being the only female mechanic in the shop ALL THE TIME!

Toss a roll of pennies in the freezer. Toss down the slot as required.

I like doing the frozen grapes or blueberries in that instance better. Then their wife that does their laundry will tell them to pull up their d@mn pants. Then I don't have to. : )

I saw a no underwear sag on a guy at a concert, just as bad as the photo above. Everyone was staring at him. There were children at the concert. I was REALLY glad MY children weren't at the concert...

Point. Giggle. State, "Look! It's like a penis, only smaller!" Get out of range. ;D

Or a simple, "Aw... Isn't that cute."

Someone should have helped him get the rest of his pants off...and show the world his cocktail wiener :P

Reminds me of the elephant first meeting Adam in Eden: Elephant looks at Adam's face and is puzzled. Then looks down at Adam's waist, looks less puzzled and asks, "How do you breathe through a trunk that small?"

You should probably move too. I'd be willing to bet they're doing it in your neighborhood too.

Nope they don't... My neighborhood isn't that nice but at least we all figured out how to wear pants.

It comes down to Freedom of Expression and...eye of the beholder?

My real question and one that is bugging me is how constitutional it is for local governments to enact dress code laws.

It's not constitutional at all. A government telling you how to dress? A Speedo shows more that that. Thong bathing suits and most bikinis show more than that.

Why have laws been enacted to impose a dress code for potential saggers if it is contrary to the Constitution?

Where laws have been enacted they have also been struck down by courts. Do a little research and you will see.

Do you think it crosses a line if it is outlawed?

In this day and age where young men can be sent home from school for wearing a shirt that displays this nations flag?

Why would folks think that there is ANY line to cross?

I mean let's get real here, if you wish to show off what you have, there are PLENTY of places to do so that are NOT out in the general public, for instance nude beaches.

Plus didn't some city in Florida "outlaw" thong bikini's? If they can do that, then why not this(outlaw sagging)?

The more quotes I hear from this guy the more out of touch with reality he seems to me.

No it's you. Because your life doesn't involve that side of society you would not know what he means.

Because your life doesn't involve that side of society you would not know what he means.

You are indeed correct, my life does NOT involve the "convict" side of society.

Because like it or not THAT is where "sagging" came from, the prison system.

I guess that HIS life does revolve around that "side" of society.

Sagging in the prison system (where it all began) is/was in fact showing that you are/were not 'taken' yet and are/were willing to be 'taken'. i.e. ADVERTISING. After my stepbro went to county lockup for 90days, he no longer sagged his drawers. He didn't want to advertise...

of the multiple explanations I've read, the one that actually makes sense is:

Sagging in prison actually originated with the removal of items, such as a belt or piece of rope, that could be used as a weapon or noose.

thats the true reason

I doesn't revolve around it but he certainly has been an advocate to help those people improve their lives. He did not bury his head in the sand.

He heads an organization that actually saw the "dress code" that the NBA brought in to make their million dollar athletes look and act like million dollar athletes as some sort of "cultural attack" against black males.

the skinny jeans sag.

I feel you!! LOL!!

I'm ok with it being illegal so long as it's only punishable by a swift and immediate smack upside the head

This Great- Granny likes the way you think!! lmao

Belle's got it. I don't care if your underwear shows, if you wanna look like a moron, that's your privilege, go for it. However, don't show me your butt unless a) I request it, or b) you're on a very short list (involving Hugh Jackman, James Marsters, and a select few others). Seriously.

If you want to make a fashion statement, why does it have to be, "I'm so broke I can't afford a belt?"

Or can't figure out how to put it through the belt loops?

Really? You're willing to send someone in jail for wearing baggy jeans? It sounds like that school you attended meted out some harsh punishment to enforce their stupid rules. That's messed up. The same kind of policies taught me that it's better to fight unjust rules than to bend over and take it in the butt.

When the trend becomes offensive to others (as it does me) and the insistence of the lack of respect for other people then I believe law should be put in place to correct the lack of parental guidance.

I've seen many tattoos that were of images I found offensive; should tattoos be outlawed?

I've seen guys with nipple rings; is that offensive enough to outlaw?

I've seen girls with their bras showing above skimpy tank tops; should that be illegal?

I've seen plus-size women in leggings (and not with a long shirt to cover the offense), bald guys with comb-overs, and people in their pj's at the grocery store. All are somewhat offensive to me. Should those things be outlawed?

If the parents should object put them in jail or fine them. If the person is over the age then fine or jail them

Really? What is the law that's being broken? Being offensive is not (in most cases) illegal. Being obscene, on the other hand, is illegal. Just because you're personally offended by someone or something, that doesn't make it illegal.

Spandex on a 400lb 5'2" woman... Oh yeah... Picture that! *shudders*

Better- 400lb 5'7" man with enough hair to think he's wearing a sweater with a neon orange THONG SPEEDO at a public beach.... I'VE WITNESSED THAT ONE! *pukes in mouth a little*

We have a guy in our shop that we call bird man because he's got the combover that looks like Bill Murray's character in KingPin.

Lol, I see the speedo man every year at the water park.

BTW-The guys in the low sag and no underwear sag are complete losers! Who are they trying to impress? It could only be girls that would be losers they would impress!

Fully agree

They're not sagging, they're mooning.

They're not sagging, they're mooning.

Depends on if they're walking toward you, or away from you ;-D

There's no better way to get a straight guy to keep his pants up than having a gay guy firmly behind him.

If you want to walk around with your pants half-ass, to me that says you are a half-ass individual that will never tackle life with the full force needed to succeed.

Tell that to people like Rob Dyrdek. I wouldn't dare call him a half-ass individual or unsuccessful. Your statement is a generalization and may be the case in some instances but not all.

A professional skateboarder may not really be the best example; I mean, he obviously cannot wear his pants too low since it would be hard to skateboard while doing so.

I have to agree that a guy who wears his pants with his rear sticking out is saying a lot more about himself -- a lot more negative and positive.

Actually, he is a very good example because he does sag. Not to the point where you see something, but he is still a sagger. I used him as an example because he's my son's favorite skater. Also, my son sags and he's a skater too. The trend for saggers now a days is not belts to help hold pants in place, it's shoe strings.

Nevertheless, the fashion is 1. immature and 2. will not hold much water in the real world.

The odds of becoming a professional skateboarder are very slim. So, I don't appreciate adult men (Dyrek is well past grown up) setting a childish example for kids.

I was making a point that you can't really call every sagger a half-ass individual or unsuccessful. I don't like that my son sags but at the same time, as long as his butt or "manties" aren't showing I'm not going to stop him.

Your statement is a generalization and may be the case in some instances but not all.

you are right belove, I didnt mean to make a blanket statement, but its mostly for the grown men who do this. Now, I to like Rob D. he is an awesome skater, but the only difference he is actually doing something positive and he is succesful. But count how many "grown men" you will see today in the street with their pants saggin that are actually doing something positve.

Once again didnt mean to generalize all saggers into 1 catergory. And I would think your sons sagging wouldnt be to the extreme as what they are actually talking about in this article nor the pictures they are showing. I hope lol

No, he's covered up and dresses similar to Rob D. No butt cleavage;) Lol

Cool so he isnt that bad of a sagger lol, as long as not "butt cleavage" is showing lol

And the way around that municipality is boxers under regular cotton shorts with pants sagging below their rear ends. I see that a lot!

Only if we also make "mom pants" illegal.

Now go to your room;)

...so we can spank each other instead of you :P

ooh...or maybe we can invite Kevin over for some menage a trois spanking :)

Y'all nasty LOL!! How did we get here from mentioning my parents??

menmy, you mean your parents don't have sex? How did they have you? Some parents like more than just "man on top get it over with quick" sex -- so I extrapolated that the parents sent you to your room so they could do the horizontal mambo :)

Oh and Kevin -- who says you'll be wearing ANY pants, saggy or not?

belle - what the hell?? This must be some good weed. . .LOL!!

Well we've already established on a different thread that your housekeeper is only there once a week -- you need other people to have sex with the other six days :P

And menmy -- I'm one of the few females out there who is willing to talk openly about sex. I admit I like sex and talking about it. I probably think about it as much as a high school guy (charter member of the Gutter Girls)

I'm with Belle! It's fun when you get the guys to blush.

Ms A -- want to join our group (Gutter Girls). I'm not the moderator, but I'm sure I can wrangle an invite if you want :)

SURE!

I must be getting used to the idea that I'm getting a divorce. I read this bit, and start thinking about who I'd like to play "naughty gangbanger" with...

I had to scroll up and see how "naughty gangbanger" came into play....and discovered a menage a trois spanking...ohh la la, even!

I will NOT discuss the welt across my hip, or how it got there.

HEY !!! no freaky ish going on without Pint lol

Heh. Belle knows what I do for a hobby.

Yep, beat the boys and make em cry :)

Nah, I haven't made one cry in ages. Whine, yes, cry, no.

Aww, but when you make a boy cry, an angel gets her wings :)

Really? Hm. I've got practice tonight... and am inclined to see if I can make one of the boys cry.

Woo hoo!! The bigger the boy you make cry, the more sparkly the wings too (ok I'm making it up, but heck we HAVE to have something to strive for! Making boys cry is a good goal)
