Comments on: Atlanta Pol Seeks Ban On Baggy Pants

City Lawmaker Wants Underwear-Showing Style Banned, Says It Violates Indecency Laws

This is fashion born in the prisons. When new people come in, they are issued clothes that are probably too big, with no belt. Just followed to the streets.

I live in Seattle and the bus driver has to tell them to pull their pants up. They show more than the tops the boxers. They do show the crack. Children are poor but can learn to dress properly if their parents care. It is mum/dad that teaches the child to dress. The parents. I had a dress code in the foster homes,I did not break it. I would not wear a dress. I wore slacks and a blouse that fit me. No tight/baggy garments. Baggy pants is a gang look here. The school and home is where kids are taught. The nanny govt they need to let parents be parents. Gramma you are right here who will save the kids from them fines if mum/dad won''t. Teacher then...

I thought the talebans were the ones who got off telling people how to dress. I guess they aren''t the only ones... If we had to criminalize lack of fashion taste, we would all be behind bars.

I have never allowed the under wear I have on to be seen by others. I was taught to cover it. I have a dress code. The baggy look is awful and more than rude. Ban it nation wide.

Michelle I read your postings often and I know you are against the nanny type of government. So now you think the country should tell us how to dress?? These kids look stupid with their baggy clothes but so what...their clothes aren''t hurting anyone...they are not running around naked. Go back and look at the picture again. All you see is the top of their boxers. Big deal...that''s not as bad as seeing a plumber''s crack. I would rather see kids in baggy pants then skin tight spandex that leaves nothing to the imagination of what is under it!

I am 52. I have never allowed the under wear I have on to be seen by others. I was taught to cover it. I have a dress code. The baggy look is awful and more than rude. Ban it nation wide. The girls wore the mini and halter top. That outfit banned as I was never allowed it. Thank goodness. I have seen girls and boys wear the baggy pants. White and black kids. It is half dressed. The parents buy the clothes and they must fit properly. They set the dress code the child will abide by as does the school. Send him/her back to their room to change into the right clothes for being in public.They will whine their friends ..Not here.

Here we go again more, stupidity!

I wonder if Atlanta is going to hire fashion police from Iran or North Korea, they have a lot of experience with enforcing fascist laws.

Once again the ACLU shows their stupidity and any parent that would allow their children to dress like this shoull be sterilized and get some sense slapped into them...idiots.

If you dress stupid, you look stupid

[grammawhamma]

Too bad. It makes it easier to catch them when they run from the cops.

LOL...I love your sense of humor!!

Seriously though, this is just a fad that will soon fade away. There are more important problems to worry about.
