That is exactly the point I am making. We can regulate the behavior in our homes and with our children, even in our schools. But the last thing we need is some senator thinking that we elect him to pass laws to address such issues when there are so many more important and pressing issues

Wearing your pants halfway down your *ss is stupid and ignorant, whoever you are and wherever you are! I am truly amazed that we too often attempt to intellectualize whatever stupid or idiotic thing our young people do! It seems that there has been a tendency for our young people to “develop” some stupid or idiotic behavior ever so many years, and instead of the elders and men of the community being there to be a barrier to such idiocy or stupidity we excuse ourselves from providing wisdom and leadership by intellectualizing the stupidity and idiocy. My six sons, who are grown men, know clearly that I would not even at this point in their life accept such stupidity or idiocy! Our young men, and even some stupid and ignorant young women, walk around with such acute boldness because we are not there, and have not been there, to provide the important guidance and leadership. Do not let these stupid and ignorant people come to your house for any reason! They cannot be intelligent and not know how ignorant and stupid it is to wear your pants halfway down your *ss!

Really? Of all the needs that exist in our community the Senator has time to push for a law to regulate dress? Come on! Let’s be serious. I think sagging is ridiculous and unpleasant looking but we need a law to ban it? And what do we do to those who disobey? We will really support punishing our young men for how they dress? As if they don’t have enough challenges to contend with. I think Dr. Carter’s solution was brilliant. Teaching young people to be aware of appropriateness of demeanor based on the situation.

Mr. Senator, I suggest that you try to get the companies who are making millions doing work in our neighborhoods without offering employment to any of these young men to begin hiring from the neighborhoods from which the taxes come. This, I believe would go much further in helping our young peing to regulate how they dress.

I grew up in a country where dread locks were so disgusting that young men were hunted, beaten, jailed and even shot to death for wearing dread locks. Let us be careful with each other’s freedom. Please!

We also need to address the females who publicly display the cleavage of their butts.

I’m glad Dr Carter’s no longer in the educational system. I pray noone takes on the switch code of ridiculousness. I’m not intrested in your swag, sag unhygienic behind crack. You represent disrespect for yourself, family an young women. I’m over it an glad laws are being passed.

I hate this! When my children were coming up, their friends knew that they could not come to my house with their pants sagging and their radio’s on full blast. Before turning the corner they turned their radios down and put a belt on. Today, when I see it in the stores or on the street, I yell, “Young Man, pull your pants up!” They usually pull them up but I’m sure they drop them as soon as I’m gone. I refuse to allow someone with their pants drooping to serve me in a restaurant or wait on me in a store. In fact, I ask for the manager and complain! We have to speak out! All states/cities should ban this!
