Change taking place

In the News, Obama supports baggy pants. Says no law against them.

It is sad that America is going more and more downhill quicker and quicker. People have no respect for themselves much less authority any more.

If my boy ever shows up on my doorstep and is wearing baggy pants I will personally tell him to come back when he can dress more modestly. There is nothing modest about having your pants sagging so low that your underwear is showing.

And the so-called President elect is disgusting when he thinks there is nothing wrong with such disgusting dress style.

Sadly, it will only get worse. Because those who want to see what is decent don't matter anymore. America is in for a sad future the next 4 years under a man who does not care what kind of image its citizen's portray.

We will soon look so disgustingly poor that third world countries that have next to nothing will be more appealing than the United States.

You're right, he should be protecting freedom by forcing everyone to dress like it's 1950!
...seriously, what's wrong with you? You're whining because Obama won't outlaw baggy pants?

The Word of God tells us to dress modestly. Obama's statement proves even more that he is not interested in godly decisions.

Nothing at all wrong with me.

When I was young, people told us that tight pants were immodest. Old people then, wore baggy pants. Now, old people are wearing tight jeans, and are claiming baggy pants are immodest.

I think I see a pattern here...

 

[clarksided]

Ugh, you're one of those.

People can dress however they like. If you don't like the baggy pants style (as I don't), then look away and don't partake in it. You do have the authority to control how your child dresses, but you can't impose that on everyone else through the law.


Boo fascism.

 

[Chajara]

This isn't the United States of Jesus and nowhere in the Bible is modesty defined anyway. If you think we ought to have a law defining how people can dress I don't see how you believe in the freedom that this country stands for.

I hear Afganistan has some pretty strick laws concerning modesty. You might consider moving there.

 

[Allegory]

baggy pants are so late 90s/early 00s.

 

[ephesus32]

i dont think we should have laws against baggy jeans....but if it comes to a point where it is indecent, then it should be taken care of.... have u heard of indecency laws??

I firmly support the right of teenagers everywhere to look like idiots.

I have a neighbor who has found a pretty good solution for this problem: when he sees a young man wearing his jeans belted below his derriere, he stops to talk to him. My neighbor asks the young man if he knows where the practice first originated and what it signifies. When the young man says no, my neighbor tells him that it was originally a practice in prison which was meant to signify that the wearer was "available" to other inmates.

He says most young men promptly pull up their pants.

 

[marrowhead]

With a crippled economy and two wars and numerous threats facing the United States THIS is what you're worried about?

 

[CGL]

"Brothas gotta pull out their pants."

 

[LoisGriffin]

If this is your biggest concern in life then you are so lucky.

 

[Flibbertigibbet]

Actually, Obama did not say he supports it - he just said he doesn't agree with making laws against fashion. If you read down, further in the article he does state that young men should pull up their pants.

All of those who are being snide about the OP starting this thread - you're being every bit as silly, don't you think? What important matters are you concerning yourselves with as you post in this forum? What world change are you effecting? What are YOU doing about our embattled economy?

I don't know about anyone else on here - but when I read and post in this forum I don't exactly expect to change the world, nor do I expect anyone else to do so. It's just a place to share your opinions.

And, again I don't know about everyone else's lives, but in my own the fact that we have a recession going on and two wars and countless other major problems does not in any way, shape or form change the fact that there are things that I deal with in my everyday life that range from seriously concerning to minorly annoying. And I occasionally kvetch about them, even knowing that there are many people dealing with much bigger problems.

I must sign off now - I have to go engage in mid-level peace talks with warring nations. Really.

You want the government to be everyone's parent?

If you're wearing underwear then baggy pants aren't really showing anything now are they? Have people become so mentally ill that a piece of fabric has become taboo? This has nothing to do with modesty. At worst it looks kinda silly.

Meh..I think baggy pants look stupid and trashy; however, the laws against wearing baggy pants were stupid. I'd much rather see baggy pants than have a fashion police.
