I would say the next trend would be codpieces, but I am sure they would be banned too.

We wouldn't allow someone to walk around in just their boxers and that is basically how this style is worn. The pants are so far down you see all or nearly all of someone's underwear. So I definitely understand the ban.

There is little doubt that the world in general is more liberal than it was 50 years ago and beyond. Conservatives are simply roadblocks on the path to an ever more progressive and liberal world. What a sad existence.

I imagine he was thinking of how cool he looked. I have to wonder how he would have felt if he knew the two neighbors across the street were on the phone to each other laughing our asses off!
Aiyeee, I prefer tight fitting pants over baggy ones. In some that I have seen, I can fit my whole body through one leg. Plus, tight fitting pants can be just as revealing.

But people walk around in shorts, so why not boxer shorts?

Where's your tolerance man??

Those two statements have no logical connection.

You are just flailing around against "religion"!

The police are too busy arresting people for droopy drawers to bother with those other things!
Right now America spends $700 billion every year on foreign oil. That's our money going overseas when it could be staying here. We have to stop this.
That's why I support the Pickens Plan. Check out the website at www.pickensplan.com. If you like what you see, please join me as a Pickens Plan supporter.

But certainly you agree that attractive women should be immune from such a ban.

There is a clear difference between shorts and underwear. Where is my tolerance?? I would prefer to lift all bans on what is appropriate... naked people would be fine with me. But if we are going to keep existing laws about what is expected in public then this ban is just clarifying things a bit further, and I agree with it.
