Should they make a law that people have to pull up their pants and wear a belt?

We saw a man walking towards us as we drove. His pants were below his briefs. He was having difficulty walking because they were so low. Now, if it is ok to walk down the street with you entire underwear showing why wear pants at all?

Should it be a law? Or should we just revert to common decency and common sense?

I think that their IQ is showing when they do that.

I think this should fall under the public decency laws that are currently in place. Just like 300 lb people wearing spandex.

Absolutely not. I love being able to spot an oxygen thief from a mile away.

If that's the case, then all the rich old golfers would be held in contempt (I'm cracking up, man)

My response to any question that begins with "should there be a law..." is no. Gut reaction. Generally speaking, anything that requires a law, can be accomplished without one.

at least pull up the pants. it's terribly disgusting...in my opinion....the other day...I saw a guy in HEB....a local grocery store...the guys pants/waste band was at his knees...I watched him walk and thought it was ridiculous...I couldn't walk if I wore my pants like that.

I doubt it can become a law...and I've read stories where restaurant owners were called out on discrimination and or racist because they would not serve someone wearing their pants like this.

...it's so unfair... If I had a restaurant and someone walked in with their pants down to their knees, I would tell them to pull them up or get the hell out....and then I'd be thrown into jail...ugh.

Sagging pants is a useful sign. It helps us distinguish the cretins. It's kind of like Bill Engvall's idea - Here's your sign. It saves us from expecting anything but cretinous behavior...

I would say that it should be against regulation or post policy. allow places and businesses to not service people who are not properly dressed. However should it be a crime of post No it should not. I don't like it but because I don't like it does not make it criminal beaver.

I think it is disgusting and shows a lack of respect for anyone. I hate to see it, I think saggers look ridiculous. However, I don't agree with a law against it. If they do, what will the next group of lawmakers dislike? Sneakers? Blue jeans? Ball caps? I think passing laws telling you how you can and can't dress would lead down a dark and unchangable path. Just more rights taken away.

I'm more for it being looked at (ugly) as a social problem. Low riders should join BCA (Butt Cracks Anonymous). There can be a 9 Step process that starts with acknowledgement "I'm Homer Simpson and I carry too much denim drop". I just hope the government doesn't become involved such that Obamacare requires insurance to provide "minimum coverage".

I would be okay with it being under public decency as others have said. Although, from what I have seen on COPS, it works in police officers favor when the criminals that do it try and run and make about five feet before they trip and fall on their face. That's always good entertainment and it saves the cop from having to chase someone too far.

Think about it like the "hippies" of the '60s, it's a fad that will pass with time.
