    You guys are f-ing crazy if you would vote for something like that. Why don't you just let them legislate how you can wear your hair too. This country used to be free. Why don't we just help them chip away at our freedoms. The government has no right to tell me what to do with my body unless it hurts someone else. This county's fear of nudity is hilarious. Our leftover puritanical values are exactly why our teen pregnancy rates are so high.

    I do understand where you coming from, however I think its a bit much, there are much more important issues to deal with. I do believe that people in general are not stupid and can decide for themselves. We live in fast internet world and this move is nothing short of censorship of different styles. I also have 2 daughters and I strongly believe that values start at home not in a law book. Making something like that illegal in Louisiana will not stop fad and fashion. Will they also band fashion magazines and trendy MTV videos from being shown? IMO its a step backward and an attempt to gain control where it has no business to be in a first place. Education not making something taboo should be a priority. People are smart enough to make decisions on how and what to wear. Individuals can make their own mind on what that represents to them, that's called freedom of expression and didn't we all had our stages growing up and did things that our parents did not approve? Its much easier to gain news coverage with something like that then with a less controversial issues like education, health care and such, but I guess controlling teenage fashion has became one government official crusade. I cant believe we elect people who spend more time trying to keep their job instead of doing the job they were elected to do.
    Just my opinion

    Hehehehe...The Jamaican jerk chicken idea cracked me up. A few years back I was at a halloween party and saw someone who bought a small table, cut a whole in the middle of it larger enough to stand in, superglued an alarm clock onto it and wore t-shirt with a big number one on it. The table was worn with suspenders holding it off the ground. He was a one night stand.

    I think first we do away with violent games, violent movies, porn, fast foods, cars that do over 65 mph, the internet, alochol, and people who score 3 digits on their SATs. If things dont seem like a better place after that, we can move on to mid drifts.


















































    Needless to say, that is a wierd form of sarcasm. I think this is the stupidest idea since the things I named above.

    Just curious, how long has it been since you were in highschool? For me, still got two years and I'm in yuppie Texas. That might be why I have this mindset because only the loose girls will expose what they have in a second. Those are the girls you stay away from. One of my good friends just moved from So Cal and to him it doesn't faze him what so ever because that's what the dress code was like. Stereotypical or not, it's what drives our country forward (and backward sometimes :D )

    Just to clear a few things up:

    1.This has nothing to do with the "Mardi Gras" mentality down here. This was introduced by a local African American Councilman concerning the current style young guys sport down here. That is, their pants around their knees with their boxers/tighty-whiteys exposed.

    2. I think the idea is sound, however the implementation would be impossible. I really don't need to see 15-20 kids walking through the mall advertising for "Joe Boxer" or "Fruit of the Loom", but I don't see how making it illegal would be enforceable.

    3. The better solution, IMO, would to be to explain how/where this "fashion statement" originated. It's what all the prison-b!tc#es wear. I have a friend who works at the prison, and he told me years ago that the PB's wear their droopy pants so they can get "hit" whenever the oppurtunity "arises", if you know what I mean. This theory was confirmed on the news by some local Urban Youth Ministers a while back.

    Again, I support the idea. It's a style whose 15 minutes ran out quite some time ago. But the implementation of a law is taking the wrong route to a solution.

    You must be kidding me. What freedoms are you willing to give up next? I don't need big brother telling me what is good for me to wear. The government needs to stick to the budget and foreign affairs and stop worrying about us being corrupted by a nipple or a butt crack, for God's sake.

    It can only get worse if we give Bush and his neo conservative cronies another 4 years to shove their personal Bull shi'''''''down our throats.

    BAN it? Can we MANDATE it if they're hot?

    Good god people. I'm against legislating anything that touches my body.

    Wise words, wise words...

    Last I noted this is not the forum for airing your hatred of Bush.

    I am voting for Bush, :) - so I guess that makes me a conservative crony, and I don't agree with legislation to ban whatever...

    Like Dave and I mentioned, it was a black Democrat who introduced this, not a white neo-con Bush crony.

    I think it's an interesting measure of public sentiment though, when people blame anything and everything on Bush. I was at the Buffalo, NY immigration office back in January and this passportless old Scottish lady was trying to go to from Canada to Florida, and without any official UK ID they wouldn't let her cross the border (naturally). She goes ranting on, "Theese es all that Boosh's faalt!" Her kids are like, "Noo, Ma. This is not his fault you didn't have any papers." "Yes, yes it is!"

    Not to sidetrack, but, yeah, it is intresting, isn't it? We now have a nice, giant, great-big scapegoat for every problem ever. Can't be anyone else's fault now, can it? Let's blame the white-house pupet who's so totally that dumb and not playing us all for chumps at all.

    Obviously it should be legal, yet regulated. Poor judgement (ie. "fat chicks") will be subjected to disciplinary action. I have total faith in the ability of the police to handle this responsibility.
