Pathetic...

Not that i support letting your underwear hang out but come on.

Firstly letting your undies deliberately hang out is to me quite stupid. How is that meant to look "cool"? WTF?

And secondly who the hell has the time to waste making up rules like that anyways. That US town must have their illegal drug and prostitution business all soreted out for them to get this pointless.

Pathetic...

I don't know wether to laugh or cry for this one, sad day in politics. I thought only Iran had "clothing" police.


Returning back to good ol' Pub, at least for some time

I really don't think its a big deal. I don't know how laws like this come into being, but don't the people vote? (Im can't vote yet & haven't taken government classes yet so...)
It seems that if the majority of the people don't like it, it will fail.
This seems like a small town anyway, kind of like mormon towns in Utah (were bigamy is not illegal). This law may pass there, but there's no way it would pass in NY-NY or LA or other well populated big cities. Besides, it's not hindering freedom of speech (could I go out in the middle of town and swear on a mic like a monkey with a bannana in his butt with out a cop coming by and telling me to cool down?) Ok bad word picture but hey, you get the idea. If the majority of the people deem it offensive, they have a right to make a law as long as it doesn't outright go against the constitution (the judges decide this, and they have the right to). Walking around nude does not go against the constitution (as far as I know!) but the majority (the minority being sickos and hippies ) see it as offensive. Even if people walked around saying "I have a right!" every one around would say "Prevert!" (Archy Bunker ). The people have the right to deside what's considered offensive and what's not. I bet that if everyone wanted to, they could make it legal to walk around naked, or drive naked at least.

Has a nation changed its gods,
even though they are no gods?
But my people have changed their glory
for that which does not profit.

Be appalled, O heavens, at this;
be shocked, be utterly desolate,
declares the Lord,
For my people have committed two evils;
they have forsaken Me the fountain of living waters, and hewed out cisterns for themselves,
broken cisterns, that can hold no water
. (Jer 2:11-13)

If you were to get a microphone, or megaphone and swear on a megaphone with a banana stuffed monkey the following things could result.
Aggravated Assault: On your person
Disturbing the Peace: Charged against you
Illegal Ownership of a Special Pet Without a License: See above
Animal Abuse: See above above
Slander: See above above above
The Opening of a Hellgate: Potentially resulting from such nonsensical behavior

Quite simply, there are a lot of people who wear their trousers down around their knees' (ok, maybe not that low, but they might as well do). It looks stupid for starters, yet they somehow believe it makes them cool? - I'd seriously like to know how they came to that conclusion.

I don't think there should be a law on it, if they want to look stupid, and give everyone the impression that they don't know how to dress, so be it.

Not really, EVERY country has some stupid laws that were passed but aren't enforced anymore...

- In Toronto you cannot drag a dead horse down Yonge St. on a Sunday
- In Ottawa it is illegal to eat ice-cream on Bank Street on a Sunday

But these laws are not enforced :~

To say the truth I genuinly dislike that fashion, never liked it on anyone.
If they wish to carry something so low, that it looks like a skirt with trousers, they can have skirts .
But the fact that a law passed hindering the carrying of a fashion is a bit extreme.
Interestingly, the only places were such laws hold right now are probably strongly religious countries.
I can't imagine something like that actually even getting on the table in europe.
Except possibly in a town with 80% of the population being over 65, but then this edict would get assaulted for being nonconstitutional.

The combine has not been forgotten

How?

The media loves the latest tragic suicide. They exploit it then package it and profit from the people who died.

Well, the swearing, the abused animal, the us of a MEGAPHONE outside of an emergency, waste of a banana, etc. etc. can trigger aggravation in nearby humans, which if it reaches a certain level can alleviate a person's self control and trigger an outburst of physical anger in the form of an assault. Therefor the surrounding populace capable and willing to assault him could also be charged with something, but not after they finish beating him to a pulp.
