I don't understand how they keep them from falling all the way down. Or walk in them. :-\

I gotta say that I don´t care one bit. Times change, fashions come and go. Sometimes it might be hard to understand dress codes in certain groups, but that´s because we´re not part of it. Within the group itself, it probably makes perfect sense. Clothes can mean so many different things.

It only bothers me to a certain point. I guess someone from my generation can be a bit old fashioned.

I'd say someone from your generation, or mine, or Milo's, Jeff's is supposed to be bothered by it. ;D :laugh:

With all due respect, I have to tell those of you who are unfamiliar with ghetto culture that what we see in the "Today" picture is FAR more than just a fashion statement, or generational rebellion. The guys are consciously emulating criminals. They are embracing criminal behavior, and a criminal mind-set. They hold the values of criminals up as ideals. They have lost touch with legitimate masculine culture, and instead have connected with the worst masculinity has to offer.
This is not just kids being kids. It is contributing to the destruction of the black community, and it should not be take lightly.
The Dream has turned into a nightmare.
