Tatoos and certain dialects also speak (no pun) volumes.

I say this as someone who interviews perspective employees.

Although here in Raleigh, NC the unemployment rate is so low, you just about have to take what you can get.

no wonder they can’t find jobs.

That is all part of the idea. REmember -we are raising up the 2nd or third generation of welfare whores - and they have learned that anything they can do to give prospective employers a reason NOT to hire them - the more likely they are to get taken care of by our big government nanny-state.

Kiss or kick?

Precisely.

“It tells everybody to kiss my a—. There are a lot of haters out there,”

Actually it tells everybody, “I’m a LOSER.”

Yeah, wedgie.

However, I’m surprised all those “haters” out there Travis is worried about don’t yank the pants down instead, they’re already a third of the way there.

Gee, travis must have such a special mother...

Not to mention his father. (I'm sure Travis never mentions him.)

Another thing they like to do when they’re walking around is to hold their damn crotch all the time.

"It tells everybody to kiss my a--. There are a lot of haters out there," Travis said.

The laughable part is, Travis doesn't see the utter hypocrisy in this statement. But then, I suspect there are a lot of things Travis doesn't see.

I’m not a young woman, but I still like to point and laugh. If i’m in the car, I definitely do. If it’s in person, I just snicker a little bit. Leave ‘em wondering.

I saw a very nice and well-dressed black family at the airport. They were being met by, I assume, some younger relatives.

One older lady instructed a kid -— grandkid or nephew -— to carry one of the women’s bags to the car.

He could hardly walk. The crotch of his pants was about at his knees. He had a jerky, short-stepped walk and had trouble handling the luggage.

I wished his grandmother would have smacked him.

The TV show “The Wire” had a scene where a kid is walking by a police car with his baseball cap turned sideways. Two policemen in the car motion the kid over to them and ask him a question. “Where did you get that cap…I’ve been looking for one with the bill on the side for months.”
The kid never knows they’re playing with him and explains how it’s just a regular cap but turned sideways. I fell out of the chair laughing so hard.

I believe I read on FR some time ago that the fad was to show solidarity with their friends and relatives in prison.

Thankfully we’re not hiring general labor type employees currently, but I must say that you were a little more “diplomatic” than I think that I might have been. I don’t know if I would have lost it & told him what I really thought or simply laughed the entire time I showed him to the door.

I guess there are people too stupid to put their pants on properly. Kindergarten should be mandatory.

It’s stupid, but laws against it (like we have in some towns here in GA) are stupider.

Why can't a community define its own standards of decency? Should Macon, GA permit the kinds of pornographic displays tolerated in S.F. "pride" parades? Showing underwear under one's pants is indecent, and I fully support laws and hefty fines to stamp it out, if that's what the community wants.
