ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! not one thing you said in this post sounds intelligent! have you ever stopped to think maybe people don't like the way you dress and they wish they could ban you?! i am 31 years old, (not sure why it matters, but since you specified, i will too - white) female, married, with 2 children, and never once has a person wearing baggy pants ruined a single shopping experience, kept me from going out in public, or made me worry about what my kids will say if they see someone's underwear!!! you are judging a book by it's cover and that is shallow. now, let's talk about some other types of clothing i would like to have banned (please let me know if anyone agrees so that we can start a petition and maybe we can eventually pass a law so that the whole united states must wear a uniform): banana hammock (a.k.a. the speedo). now that makes me uncomfortable and nauseous - no matter the body type (or color)! thong bikinis - they show the whole ass and that is something i DO NOT appreciate my children seeing! oh, how 'bout poufy sleeved shirts - i have yet to see ANYONE who looks good in those! and half shirts that show belly buttons, and short skirts/shorts that show butt cheeks, and push-up bras - my kids really don't notice clevevage yet (they are both boys), but my husband notices and i'm sure we would have a better relationship if other women weren't parading their boobs in public! i can go on and on. does anyone agree that the idea of banning these types of clothing sounds ABSURD?! well so do people complaining about baggy pants (and the 36 yr old white male who doesn't shop as much as he 'should' because baggy pants make him sad -poor guy!)!!! why are our elected officials waisting our money, their time, and public resources to make a law about how we can dress? what about health care? what about homeless people? what about the war? what about our economy? i can go on and on. and how would those people who support the ban on baggy pants feel if we were trying to ban you from wearing your big boy panties, your 'showing way tooooo much in the front' tight pants, or the sexy clothes that ALL heterosexual males find attractive on a tall, beautiful woman (or would you propose a ban on sexy clothes for.... let's say.... short chunky women?) THIS IS AMERICA PEOPLE!! those of you who want a ban on ANY type of clothing make me sick - maybe you can move to a country where they don't allow so much freedom - i'm sure you'll have a much better shopping experience.... and maybe even find a 36in waist!!!
