BF2S Forums America bans baggy trousers, where's the "Freedom"?

...yes, because a small town's decision reflects the opinions of an entire nation. Personally, I don't want to see somebody's fucking skivvies, so this would be one bit of public 'dress code' that I would welcome. The cops, on the other hand, love them because they trip up fleeing fugitive fools who wear them.

How would it be enforced? Ticket? Jailtime?

How is anyone supposed to take anything you say seriously...

500 dollars ehh, what happend to mardi gras? this guys off his rocker. If you get nailed with "indecent exposure" you could also be deemed a sex offender... not a very good combo to have on your permanant record

Wow use common sense... They are making it illegal because people show their underwear and obscene things while in public.

Um... no troll. He posted a ridiculous clame that freedom is somehow limited in the U.S. He's talking like he comes from some moral high ground and he's nothing but a douchebag hacker himself.

Well, it's making a point. Everyone complains about Iran banning this and that when you have stupid shit like this aswell. Granted it's not on the same scale as the stupidness of Iran, it's still funny and deserves a talk about.

Whilst hacking is stupid, it's really got nothing to do with anything. If you found a link of this guy supporting censorship or something like this, then that would be something. Just coming into a topic going showing that he's a hacker hasn't got to do anything about anything. It's totally irrelevant. Might aswell call it spam.

Yea but does the US kill you when you break a law that you deem silly or stupid?  I've seen hackers flamed off of this forum.  It all depends on who you are.

Everyone seems to be missing my point (except Mekstizzle); and I don't understand that "hacker" stuff???  I'm not commenting on this particular law but I'm asking where the mentality that America is the most free country in the World comes from.

I'm not taking any moral high ground either as I don't believe Britain is more free than the US, or any less so.  Nor am I comparing the US to Iran to other obviously restrictive countries, I'm comparing them to other 1st World countries and asking how is the US more free than them?

My point is that most Western nations are free and on balance they're all pretty as liberal as each other and I don't understand why many Americans get on a soap box to promote their country as being the symbol of freedom.  I have yet to hear a decent argument as to why other civilised nations are more oppressive than the States.

Can someone please explain to me the American obsession with using the term "Freedom"?  Many Americans come across as if the US is the most free country in the World and the rest of us are all living under dictatorships vying for a taste of US culture.  But I see plenty of restrictive laws in the States, many of which aren't enforced in other countries and baggy trousers are being made outlawed now.

I'm all for patriotism, but blind patriotism is just stupid.  So I wanna ask the American contingent whether you believe that, on balance, the US is the most free country in the World and why.  Please explain why you couldn't do the same in other countries because I've never understood the mentality.

It's all about lack of knowledge of other countries and cultures that make some americans believe that they live in the most free country in the world. In the reality, they dont.

Virginia tried this too, or at least McLean or Richmond or some relatively important and large city/area did. It failed miserably.

Seriously, they're fucking pants and underwear, you wear them too. Perhaps they should ban idiocy?

The US is the freest country in the world because they say so. They came up with the concept of democracy 200 years ago*.






^{that may seem like a long time ago to you contemporary fellas, but it was just the 1800's lol}

Half the 'gangstas' with baggy trousers have their boxers pulled up anyways. I hardly see buttcracks anymore.

This is stupid. Next they will make it a law to tuck in our shirts.
