No Sagging Pants - unOFFICIAL ADVENTIST FORUM

Welcome with open arms fellow believers who don’t see things the way you do.
And don’t jump all over them every time they do or say something you don’t agree with
– even when it seems that they are strong on opinions but weak in the faith department.
Remember, they have their own history to deal with. Treat them gently. Romans 14.1: The Message

Shane Administrator of Foro Adventista Registered: 02/02/02 Posts: 17001 Loc: Rio Grande Valley, Texas	It's the law: No sagging pants in Chicago suburb Be careful if you have saggy pants in the south Chicago suburb of Lynwood. Village leaders have passed an ordinance that would levy $25 fines against anyone showing three inches or more of their underwear in public... The American Civil Liberties Union says the ordinance targets young men of color. Young adults in the village, like 21-year-old Joe Klomes, say the new law infringes on their personal style. He says leaders should instead spend money on making the area look nicer. [text taken from link] _________________________ I reserve the humble right to be wrong.

But I do have a question - Does it matter in Chicago whether the underwear showing is boxers or briefs? _________________________ We have many lessons to learn, and many to unlearn.

olger Registered: 12/27/05 Posts: 3182 Loc: Ohio	Sounds like a good law to me. I'll probably hear from Jesse first thing in the morning... "Ring. Ringg." "Hello, Olger here." "Yeah, this is JESSE JACKSON !!"WE don't like yo b-b-b-bb--bb-b-b--bb--b.." "Hi Jesse. How are you?" "B-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-bb----b-b-b-b-bBB" "Jesse, you're very eloquent.." "Thank you, b-b-b-bb-b-b-b-b-b--b-b-b-b-b-b-bBB."
