I am not making this up.

America...land of the free, home of the brave.

Except if you're...

Glad to know the pressing needs in Flint, Michigan are being taken care of...

I wonder where these go on the chart?

Read the article. Interesting take.

I think it depends on your age what your opinion is.

Many schools have adopted uniforms to stop all disputes about fashions. Girls wearing thongs with low pants, tang tops, tube tops, short shorts, mini skirts, long hair in the eyes, etc etc. Goths can also be pretty distracting.

In talking about in school, but we generally talking about youth.

Its wrong to make it unlawful no matter how silly the fashion is.

Personally I thought it was done, but everyone

Don't be afraid to say it, if that what you perceive to be true.

Nobody's gonna label you, you're to articulate

Forget about Michigan. Since when is it fashionable to walk around with your underwear hanging out? I mean honestly, if you are going to walk around like that, don't even wear shorts or pants.

If they start arresting people for every fashion faux paux, I'm in serious trouble.

Let people have their fashion. If it bothers you, look the other way. As long as they aren't harassing you or shoving their ass in your face, they should be free to do what they want.

Thanks, B.

I mean...I'm not going to overreact and relate this to Jim Crow or anything like that, but I think NY4ever said it best --- dont they have better things to worry about?

This is not a defense of said style, but what is the actual point of this? Lets not kid ourselves as to whom the target of this legislation is. And they wonder why we feel the way we do about this country. Its just crap like this that creates an antagonistic environment. Different tentacles of our government seem to go out of their way to overly punish us and ensure our misery, or at the very least our disillusionment.


This is just unnecessary, flies in the face of the tenets of the country and just makes us feel even more like outsiders. And the Fox News' of the world have the nerve to take umbrage with Michelle Obama's comment.

How can we truly feel like "Americans" and sincerely accepted into the fabric of this country? Now we're getting to the heart of Black dysfunction in this country and the source of so much inner city strife.
