Should I start a thread on whether or not Guys should sag their baggy pants.



Who wants to see underwear all the time? Are you offended?

There is a law in Miami.. I'm SERIOUS. You will be fined if you sag and bag. Is that historical, racist, offensive or a violation of Human rights? IDK. But it's a law that was passed.

I'm offended by people that eat mayonnaise. :fp:

...
Wearing pants below the ass is a 'Fashion Statement'.
The Statement is, "Look at what a fucking dumbshit I am... i can't even figure out how pants work".
The fine should a slap on the head and the warning, 'Don't be such a fucking dumbshit."
...
"And pull up your fucking pants."

You always see these douches on "Cops" asking the police to pull their pants up for them when they're handcuffed, because they start falling from below their asses (where they're supposed to be :fp: ) to their knees. It doesn't seem to occur to them that if they'd just worn a belt they probably would have been able to outrun the cops and escape arrest. :fp:

You'd think they'd figure out that you can't run from the cops if your pants are down around you ankles.

this thread is snoring boring now. and thank you (you know who you are) for getting someone a permanent ban. what possesses you to do none stop reporting of others? this is tattle tailing like a 1st grader. I will not be posting in this thread anymore & I suggest many of you do the same. permanent ban? a lifetime ban? permanent banning? I find this out of control

I don't know who got the ban but I agree. What could have been so bad in this thread that the response has to be the permanent ban of a paying member? I find it to be a strange and disappointing way of doing business.

Funny how styles can be so similar :shock: . I agree with Chadwick, I'm done with this thread - too bad, yet another thread that had real potential....

The flag is both but hey those reenactments you guys should check them out.
Might help with opinions to experience them and the people.

We have loved Atlanta and all the great people here.
Employed many born and raised Southerners, many of our friends are from here
and our business associates. Atlanta a melting pot though with people from all over.

Not sure where the idea is coming from that the South has a racism problem
any more than anywhere else. After 23 years here just don't see it.

No time to read all through just the last couple pages.
Thought I'd defend my home region from the scandal Looks like it can get hot ,
kind of like the South. I like it hot. Who's with me?

The South is no different than anywhere else. It is far less segregated and less hateful
in general that other parts of the country.

I should've just given up when I read this post

Hey man where have you lived in your life to compare? Me I've only been in Milwaukee
and when we go back we don't see a black person. Too segregated nothing like here in Atlanta.
We have great black neighbors and have since moving here 23 years ago.
No hate either so is this coming from Florida?

I'm not sure you'd get the same response... if you were born black.
...
Just because you don't see it... does not mean it does not exist.

I love cats too but am allergic :(

When a thread goes in circles what does that mean? is that when someone is not agreeing with
the crowd? I read the last couple pages and it seemed that's what happened.
I'll keep a look out and see in the next threads.

The idea that the South has a racism problem comes from.... well, all the racism in the South. They still have segregated high school events and shit down there. That stuff gets on the news. I know a black guy who grew up in Miami, and he said that the racism was actually WORSE for black people in the South than Canadians even imagine it to be, which means it's really bad! He came to Canada because he and his family simply could not stand the racism in America anymore .... Maybe you are just not aware of it because your are not the victim of racism??

We are never going to agree i respect the opinions of the southern folk here ...

The thread has been derailed and the discussion is creating misinformation regarding other members. It's never ok to gossip about other members here. The thread is done. It's ok to begin another thread about the flag discussion or baggy pants (the pants one might be better in AET.) Thanks.
