I guess all the real problems in Dallas must have been solved, because today, they are discussing whether to ban sagging pants in the city. School Board member Ron Price, who is rumored to be seeking a city council seat himself, will appear before the Dallas City Council to ask them for an ordinance that would prohibit pants that hang well below the waist. Price said, "To me, it's disrespectful and dishonorable to women for men to walk around with their bottoms showing." Several council members back the proposal.
Councilman Bill Blaydes said, "It's an embarrassment to our city if we can't keep our pants up." Councilwoman Maxine Thornton-Reese said, "I would like to support any ordinance or anything that would help them not to expose themselves." Jesus Toscano, Assistant City Attorney, was unsure of the legality of such an ordinance, and said the city would have to research it.
When asked about the issue, Texas ACLU Director Lisa Graybill said, "Is it a civil liberties issue? I don't know. It's a silly issue, I know that. Why can't people just look away?"
I have to agree. This is a very silly issue for the city council to be discussing. These young people are not exposing themselves. The worst thing you have to see is the color of their underwear. In fact, I don't doubt that many people are exposing themselves more in the Texas heat that those who wear their pants low. Texans traditionally don't wear a whole lot in the summer.
Dallas has many problems more serious than how low a person wears his pants. The city council needs to stop this farce, and get back to solving real problems.
Fuck that aint a damn thing wrong with sagging pants but yall want to outlaw it. You dont even fix the real problems with the communites,Drugs,etc.
ReplyDeleteWhat is the REAL reason a person would wear their pants past their hips and show off their underwear? Please enlighten me on this behavior.

ReplyDeleteI don't have a clue why someone would wear their pants this way. I also don't care how someone else wears their clothes.
My post was making fun of the Dallas city council - not agreeing with it.
That would never fly!!! This is America, not former USSR!!! Rappers, skaters, and college kids are not gonna listen to some old ass fart telling people what to were!!! They have more nerve than a toothache!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat is the point in making a law that will not be seriously enforced? There is no serious injustice in the fashion trend. I thought laws were made to stop some sort of serious problem. Most kids in Dallas schools district have to wear a uniform. Why is the city council trying to police what is worn in leisure times?
ReplyDeleteR2Ach9 write more, thanks.
ReplyDeleteWith poverty at an all time high, illegal immigration, an increase in violent crime, sagging pants is obviously the most important thing to do.
