Quote From: christalwilsonwhy are we so obsessed with whats i fashion today? since the beginning of time everyone from generation to generation has had a problem with whats in fashion at the time, and it goes away over time.With so many more important things going on in the world like war,hunger,child abuse of all kinds,homeless people,unemployment,poor educations,and so on and so forth how can we take any time out to focus on fixing who wears baggy pants?Man i wish people would put this much effort in curing famine,bettering the education system,teach people to value the life of others or Even finding a way to keep families from ending up on the street.But no i guess we can be true to human nature and focus on whats no big deal so we can cast a shadow on whats really important in the world.I am so sure those poor starving people all over this world also worry about seeing someones boxers after all that has to be what keeps them up all night not their empty stomachsPeople need to catch a clue, polticians pick these battles to fight so they don't have to explain why your kids don't have enough qualified teachers to teach them,or why crime is getting worse and the gangs run the streets.As long as we jump on the bandwagon and join in the drama or leaders get away with not fixing the real problems.
It's like football - in order for a team to win, you have to be good at tackling, passing & catching FIRST!
Same here - you let kids get away with sloppy, nasty dress habits - now they have no respect for anybody
including themselves or anything! This generation has set the bar at an all-time LOW! For us old guys,
we recall schools forcing girls to kneel down and if their dress didn't touch the floor - they were sent home. Gradually, the rules are bent until they're non-existent - like today. And what does this newer
generation have to show for it? A bunch of losers that never knew "the agony of defeat" because it was
not fair to flunk 'em or have them picked last for a baseball game. They play music with effects that
"rock the house" - 3 blocks away. They are killing each other at an alarming rate. They care not about
the future and dislike the present. When are blacks going to learn the teachings of Bill Cosby who lays
all the blame on blacks that are not taking advantage of the civil rights movement. Folks died to be able
to vote, attend school, learn to speak English, get decent jobs. As he says - "they are an embarrasment
to their race! You sound just like them - blaming everything on the government! Some things have to be
taught at home and in the community. You can't send your kids off to school and expect the school to do
YOUR job of raising children. My parents demanded excellence at home and wouldn't allow me to mis-
pronounce words in front of them!
Do you think the government should be allowed to keep you from wearing something others may find offensive? A debate is gaining attention across the country: Should baggy pants be banned? You’ve seen them, primarily worn by men: oversized pants hanging so low that sometimes the entire behind shows! Local ordinances in 12 states have banned the low-slung look -– but are they unfairly targeting African-Americans? Dr. Phil speaks with guests on both sides of the debate -- including parents. And, Reverend Al Sharpton and Grammy nominated hip-hip artists the Ying Yang Twins join the show with their views on banning baggy pants. Get up to speed on this issue, before YOU get caught with your pants down!
