lol you're breaking up with me because I don't fulfill your emotional needs? Source please. Sorry girl my boss just tried to pull the same thing but he didnt have one single source that said that kissing every customer on the forehead and calling them 'broseph' was bad for business. If you wanna say a thing you gotta have a source.
it's ridiculous that people are going to ignore the long history of racially charged legislation in america but of course, as guys on facepunch know, institutionalized racism in america is over. this sagging pants law is absolutely ridiculous regardless of the obvious racial tones, let's start banning short skirts & anything that shows female midriffs

considering that there's already a racial arrest gap for other crimes...

it's pretty obvious that there will be an arrest gap for what's specifically targeting something that's primarily a fashion that minorities partake in.
[QUOTE=fulgrim;45439585]Okay i understand you really don't like the way some people dress (???) but i wasnt saying all of them have ill fitting clothes, i was saying even if wearing your trousers stupidly low was worthy of being a crime, and its really not, what separates the people doing it for the style from innocent (hahahaha) people like me in the aforementioned situation?[/QUOTE]
That they've consciously made a fairly stupid decision in how to wear their pants while you can't properly size your own pants?
[QUOTE=Sailor Mars;45442247]Agreed. Why can't these people just live in their own town separate from us.
Nature made people who sag their pants and people who don't sag their pants separate for a reason.[/QUOTE]
hell yeah dude segregation in 2014 let's do it

Fucking people raised in the fifties. People older and younger than that seem to not care about stupid shit as much.

Again, where's the source that this is only a minority thing?
that's not what you asked a source for in reply to Zeke who only mentioned racial gaps in arrests, but it's pretty well known that sagging pants is primarily a thing that minority youth tend to do, but yes some white people do too.
[Quote]Following a pattern of past fashion bans, the sagging prohibitions are seen by some as racially motivated because the wearers are young, predominantly African-American men.[/quote] [url]http://www.nytimes.com/2007/08/30/fashion/30baggy.html?_r=0[/url]
I'm fairly certain that it's common knowledge and not something that's easy to find a source on.
