Yeah, it's actually a really small fishing village and I believe they do a lot of boat building there.

Sorry people, I’ve been forced to cancel my vacation visit to your fine community.
My problem is a VERY successful weight loss effort, that has me losing enough weight that I am ashamed to admit it.
But all my clothes are NOW way too big, and I have a huge problem with my pants heading south. I don’t want to be apprehended and/or arrested, to I must make other plans.
Maybe after I buy a new wardrobe.
Have a nice day.

I understand your concerns, but if we don’t require clothes to cover our butts, we have public nudity.

I can see where gov’t shouldn’t have to declare WHAT covers your butt. boxers, pants, skirt, whatever.

I have often wondered if the idiot kids who wear their pants low, know where and WHY this trend started? These kids are so ignorant about so much that I doubt if they do.

Shirt and tie is just a way to honor wallstreet punks who swindled their way into billions of taxpayer money. Why honor behavior like that?

Let them wear sagging pants. Makes it easier for the police to catch the thugs.

How low is too low?
If ones’ genitalia is all that is holding up the pants- there’s your sign!
I’ve been seeing black men with their pants around their KNEES! No lie! Hobbling down the street taking baby steps with pants around their knees!
What ignorance is this?
I can understand a primitive mentality that wants to display how well they are endowed by the fact that they can make pants defy gravity, but if you go down past your privates what’s the point of pants at all?
Good for Bayou Le Batre- time we get some standards back in this country!

I would think that with so many doing it for such a long time, that the original start of this trend just doesn’t matter anymore, like all the other trends throughout the years.

There isn’t nudity in this tacky style, the point I think is to show off the boxers (brand?). The funny thing is, this style has been fading out a lot, but if it becomes illegal, it may surge again as a sign of rebellion.

A conservative does not support government laws regulating clothing styles.

A couple of years ago I stopped in at an old time country store in central Mississippi. The owner looked to be north of 80. A young punk came in with his pants hanging down like that and the old man looked him up and down.

He said in a measured tone, “Sonny, if you can’t afford a decent belt, you can’t afford to shop in my store. Now you just get on down the road.”

I thought I was gonna bust. The thug just looked at him and walked out without saying a word.

Congrats on your weight loss. To avoid arrest use a belt.

Have you seen how bad Big Brother is in Flint, Michigan? They have levels of sagging and different fines for each level.
