I find it weird that it's still in fashion.  People were doing that when I was in middle school.  That was two decades ago.

I'm pretty sure it was against my school's dress code.

One day in 5th grade, our teachers had a kid who always wore his pants like that, run down the hallway to see if he could manage to keep them up without holding with his hands. Predictably he failed.

Indeed, it has been curiously lasting - considering it is a fashion that makes anyone adopting it look more than slightly 'intellectually challenged'.  :lol:

Punk early 80s style is still going strong.

Through evolution, generations that wear their pants like that will probably end up having elongated spines and short legs.

True, but punk gear (a) doesn't make you look like a total moron, and (b) doesn't actually obstruct your ability to move. I can accept the sense of fashions that do either (a) or (b) (hell, lots of women wear heels they can't actually run in, just to look sexy), but not ones that do both!  ;)

Trumpites are increasing on my FB feed.  Getting more of this.

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I think most people who say things like "(color) people do this" are being somewhat racist.

I don't think any of those things.

But I guess they just said 'White People' meaning more than one.
