Quote From: housewife52I do not think the government should decide whether or not baggy pants should be worn. I have never understood why in the world boys would want to wear thier pants that way. They generally are holding them up while navigating through the day. My son always favored a western cut of jeans. ALL of his friends black and white favor the baggy pants. At our local high school, there is a dress code, prohibiting baggy pants among other things. But it has never been enforced. Most of the boys seem to like the baggy pants.(black and white) As far as I know, there has not been a problem with anyone hiding weapons in thier pants.
I just think we need to be careful about what we accept that our government is going to dictate.
A few years ago while using the local public transit as I often do, there was a young man who was very pleasant and we began to talk while waiting for our stop. He was wearing the baggy pants, and so as I had often wondered why so many young men wear them, I asked him, "Why?". His response, which seemed to be an honest answer was a good one. His answer was, "Because they're comfortable".
Looking back, I remember my brother and some of his buddies wearing similar during the summer. Cut offs mostly. I think it must have been comfortable. And male bonding maybe. Not such a bad thing, mostly!
P.S. My brother is a white man!!
Love
