State Passing "Droopy Pants Obsenity Law"

By the way, do you know where this so-called "fad" started? It started in our penal system. Whenever an inmate wanted sex, he would just lower his pants until skin showed on the backside, the more skin, the bigger the view of the butt crack. Hence, the louder the plea for sex by the inmate. Remember, we're not talking about sex between a man and a woman since all the inmates are male.

It came out of the prison environment through the rap route that glorifies rebellion against the current culture. First, rappers wore low baggy pants, imitating the inmates but this time the request went out to both men and women. From the examples of the rappers spewing their brand of "gangsta rap", the teenagers picked up the style of the low-riding saggy pants and adopted this style as their "rebellion" to all authority. I doubt if any of them realize the origin of the saggy pants within the penal system.

And the defenders of rap music, all venues, say that their music has no lasting impact on the youth of America. Yeah, right

sure gives credence to why this falls under OBSENITY laws! all the more reason for me to support it!

Giving the homophobic nature of the Hip-Hop community, I doubt it has to do with prison sex.

If anyone is really interested in seeing where this trend originates from, this site has a number of theories.

The bottom line is, we don't know exactly where the trend comes from.

WTD, what does God's word say regarding modesty? it really doesn't matter where the fad originated, does it? it is flying in the face of decency.

I don't see it as immodest. Annoying, yes. Amusing, occasionally. But immodest, not really.

Maybe they could install "belt dispensers" in the bathrooms at school!

I see this all the time since I often sub in middle schools. I don't really mind if they wear their pants low as long as they wear a long t-shirt to compensate so I still don't have to see their underwear. Of course, when these kids sit down the t-shirt suddenly seems much shorter.

As for belts, I have actually seen a couple of students wearing the jeans low, with a belt! They actually had the jeans so low, past the buttocks, that the belt was required to keep gravity from doing what gravity does best...

I've heard it said that the one good think about droopy drawers is that they fall down when they are running from the law.

Popo- remember this next time we converse about how free we are in this nation. Here's the answer to your question you so persistently begged for. I couldn't top this one if I tried (or have made something like this up). Like I said a law for everything.

I know you're patriotic no matter what (so were Nazi's). I'm not saying protest but don't you think is a bit police state. Where's the line drawn?

This is not the Patriot Act (PA), but it could be the Pants Act (PA). I've lost my freedom to dress myself? What about my freedom not to have to look at your underwear or butt crack?

What about incompetence in dressing myself

Oh eric! That one was a bit , "Off the cuff! lololol

Let me tell ya, as a school teacher, I think that it is disgusting to see someone that has their underwear showing because their pants are halfway down their buttocks. Luckily, it is not allowed in our school because the students are made to have a belt on or they have to go get a piece of rope to keep their pants up. I would totally agree with this law going into effect. I would seriously doubt that even half of the parents know what their child(ren) are wearing to school.
