- schroeder, on 03/19/2008, -6/+121Laws about how to wear your clothes? What's next forcing people to wear pieces of flair? You know, the Nazis had pieces of flair they made the Jews wear.
- omnithought, on 03/19/2008, -13/+83I'm on the fence about this. I hate intrusive laws as much as I hate seeing douchebags with their pants hanging halfway down their ass.
- spammishking, on 03/19/2008, -4/+70I'll support this bill if you support my bill for a weight limit on baby doll T-shirt, and an age limit on Juicy hot pants
- WiseWeasel, on 03/19/2008, -17/+76Can't they just let schools and cities determine this? What the hell is the point in a state law, other than allowing Florida police to hassle people who look like gangbangers? This is just a tool for the harassment of a marginalized group of people.
- inactive, on 03/19/2008, -5/+59I wonder what Florida will do about thongs and bikini's on beaches, and being subjected to those daily unsightly butt cracks by workman.
- Persondude, on 03/19/2008, -3/+54Whats with the naked guy in the pic? LOL, guess his pants fell all the way off!
- Mimorox, on 03/19/2008, -5/+53no you aren't
- logicalnoise, on 03/19/2008, -2/+44welcome to florida, Pull your pants up! Then be sure to visit the many strip clubs, raunchy beach parties and bungled elections.
- VladislavIII, on 03/19/2008, -4/+46THANK GOD!!! Now if they can just outlaw that rock and roll music we can restore some kind of decency to our schools.
- Continuum, on 03/19/2008, -4/+39"The Florida city of Riviera Beach passed its own saggy pants law on Tuesday, with a maximum penalty of 60 days in jail for repeat offenders."
But what about that revealing clothing women wear? I doubt any women will never go to jail for letting her thong hang out or wearing booty shorts in public.
Also the article says that some of the kids "exposing flesh or underwear". If you are going commando with baggy pants, that's a WHOLE other fashion statement. - bxblox, on 03/19/2008, -5/+37This is dumb and so is whoever proposed it. Exposed underwear?? This from a state where woman think bikini tops are shirts.
/link is dead btw - ucdbunny, on 03/19/2008, -1/+30Now i'm put off by saggy pants just as much as the next guy, but you cant have your cake and eat it too. These laws are unconsitutional because as long as their not showing any nudity there shouldn't be a ban on what they can and cant wear. This is just creeping towards the government telling you what your allowed to wear, next it will be what you eat, what you can read, write, say....do you get the point?
- Dbeneath, on 03/19/2008, -1/+29don't state legislatures have bigger problems to tackle than how high someone wears their ***** own pants? who elected these worthless *****?
- asurroca, on 03/19/2008, -3/+27There's no reason to be on the fence. The government should not regular poor fashion choices. This is outrageous BS.

"...it was made popular by rap artists after first appearing among prison inmates as a signal they were looking for sex.
"All we're trying to do now is trying to inform folks that we have a fad now that does not have a very good origination," Siplin said."
False.
http://www.snopes.com/risque/homosex/sagging.asp - inactive, on 03/19/2008, -15/+35You can tell this law was made by white people lulz
- CatalunyaBob, on 03/19/2008, -2/+21Something I've always wondered: Do women find saggy pants hot? I can't imagine.
- NSResponder, on 03/19/2008, -2/+20This fails on first amendment grounds. The Florida legislature is pandering here, and they know damned well that they have no power to ban clothing styles.
-jcr - jwhitman89, on 03/19/2008, -3/+20People who wear baggy pants are already trend-whoring idiots. Why do we need to punish them further?
- smt12, on 03/19/2008, -2/+206 months in jail for baggy pants.... bit much. Probably a violation of some constitutional right too. You'd think those important lawbreakers.. i mean lawmakers ... would have more important things to do than go around sticking their noses in.. well.. in people's butts.
- inactive, on 03/19/2008, -2/+18Quite the racist are we? Ive seen many a white kid parading around wearing the same stupid garb. It screams "Im a moron, and cant dress myself". Ive seen black and white people actually apply for JOBS like this. It really isnt flattering at all. That being said, I oppose the law... its an easy way to pick out the morons of our society.
- Spudster, on 03/19/2008, -1/+17Sadly, chicks do seem to like gangta losers who treat them like *****. *sigh*
- SergioValente, on 03/19/2008, -2/+17Here Here! Let's replace it with chamber music and church.
- CH3CH2OH, on 03/19/2008, -2/+17"it was made popular by rap artists after first appearing among prison inmates as a signal they were looking for sex."
Maybe State Sen. Gary ***** should take a look at Snopes.com:

Claim: The status of sagging one's pants was born of a prison mode of signaling sexual availability.
Status: False - asurroca, on 03/19/2008, -2/+15Thanks for making me a little more ashamed for being a Floridian. Geez.
- gothelium, on 03/19/2008, -0/+13Not the ones who have any taste.. I actually think it's kind of amusing for it to have come down to legal measures to prevent someone from intentionally dressing like a complete retard.
- usingpond, on 03/19/2008, -4/+17This is a critical blow to wiggers everywhere.
- inactive, on 03/19/2008, -1/+14I just can't wait to see a cop chasing down one of these guys
*runrunrunrunWHAP* trips over his own pants.
Digg me down if you want, but it's funny as hell to see that happen in the school halls. - schrutefan, on 03/19/2008, -7/+18***** you, you ***** fascist bitches! Why don't you force me to wear underwear too?
- dsoltesz, on 03/19/2008, -0/+11Plumbers and handymen beware!
- pintomp3, on 03/19/2008, -0/+11i may not agree with what you wear, but i'll defend your right to wear it.
- SpectreFire, on 03/19/2008, -0/+11Damn, all the douchebags are gonna have to vamp up to 6 collars now if they want to keep their cool levels the same.
- RadiatedAnt, on 03/19/2008, -1/+11They are called "wiggers" Repeat after me...
- RyeBrye, on 03/19/2008, -0/+10FTA: "[he] said the fashion statement has a back-story -- it was made popular by rap artists after first appearing among prison inmates as a signal they were looking for sex."
Umm... How do you sag an orange jumpsuit down below your crack. This "origin" of the fashion is ludicrous. In the 90's people were sagging pants and showing off boxers - has the fad come back so soon? - Hockey13, on 03/19/2008, -5/+15"All we're trying to do now is trying to inform folks that we have a fad now that does not have a very good origination," Siplin said. "We're trying to make an example in school," he added, saying it would help students get jobs and a degree.
Who invited grandpa to the meeting? - praisethelard, on 06/06/2008, -3/+13I see a lot of people sagging their pants who aren't trying to look like a "thug".
- PaddyJ, on 03/19/2008, -3/+12This is just another example of overly harsh crack laws
- epiccollision, on 03/19/2008, -0/+9the dangers of saggy pants while going commando...in his case i'll make an exception...
- sleepyjjk, on 03/19/2008, -1/+10As much as I don't like kids dressing like that, I think that this is a stupid bill altogether.
This fashion fad will eventually die out (just like any other fashion trend), forcing it to die out with a law will just postpone its eventual death.
Plus, the school dress code is something the school needs to regulate, not the state. - bjornski, on 03/19/2008, -0/+9And it's a lot easier for the cops to chase the runners when they require one hand holding their pants up to run.
- bxblox, on 03/19/2008, -2/+11*women
- saxreturns, on 03/19/2008, -0/+9Clearly you're forgetting about Florida's excellent reputation for holding fair elections!
- inactive, on 03/19/2008, -3/+12You should be dug up..
- inactive, on 03/19/2008, -0/+9Im not... I actually oppose this.. Because its easier to pick out the morons this way. As a parent, this kind of thing is an immediate red flag for who my kids ought to be around. Let em keep it.
- Spudster, on 03/19/2008, -5/+13More like you're an idiot who doesn't know what he's talking about.
- KaiStrikes415, on 03/19/2008, -1/+9I am actually against this law, but probably for different reasons from some of you people.
Just think about it, Cops will probably have a easier chance chasing down those "teens" who
would probably trip over themselves due to their saggy pants. - inactive, on 03/19/2008, -1/+8True! What is next, laws against people with iPhones?
- rjc5056, on 03/19/2008, -2/+9Nah. Your average college student, or really most males under the age of 25 (who wear boxers) have a greater chance of sagging a little. It's just an intrinsic part of the Millenial generations culture. Hell, I do my best to stay as far away from "thug" as I can, but I have a hard time not exposing a bit of boxer when I'm not in work outfits. The clothes are just cut different these days.
- kuzotz, on 03/19/2008, -3/+10my god wiseweasal has finally figured out that American society is ran through xenophobic ideas, exploitation, and marginalization of certain groups.
- yergi, on 03/19/2008, -3/+10....so forcing a woman to wear a burka is oppressive, but forcing a guy to wear pants a certain way isn't?
The hypocrisy is so deep I need a snorkle. -
