Long Beach Tells Teens To Pick Up Saggy Pants
Call for 'respect' during Black History Month

LONG BEACH (CBS) — City leaders want young people in Long Beach to do two things this February: pick ‘em up and keep ‘em up.
Bishop William Ervin along with Carson City Councilman Mike Gipson are calling on black children and teens to “pull up their pants on their waist†as a sign of respect during Black History Month.
Ron Kilgore reports their message to young men who wear their pants down around their knees is simple: “You can have the swag without the sagâ€.
Community leaders say the plan is not just for cultural purposes, but may have legal benefits as well: sagging pants are often used for profiling purposes by law enforcement agencies.

Plus you look like a fool with your pants on the ground!
-
What I find interesting is my black friends all think the pants on the ground look is ignorant.
-
I learned today that the sagging came from prison. Either prisoners were issued ill fitting prison garb or the saggy butt signals to another inmate that the buttdiner is open :lmao:
-
I look at it this way, those baggy saggy pants aid in crime fighting . Have you ever seen those idiots try and run from the cops?

I can't believe Commiefornia is at again. ::) ::)

I am happy to report that I'm nowhere near the 18 hour limit of my undergarment.

I thought so too.....lol
but back to real topic, it looks unkempt to me. There are a couple of guys who wear their pants down around their hips(this guys are on the heavyset side) hence the saggy look. When they bend over , talk about a hairy crack!!! my eyes, my eyes!!! :o :o :o

Sagging makes people look like they are from prison. Also, it is infantile.

Well we have just gone into the year of the Rabbit in Asia and what not.----Can anyone tell me why rabbits feet are suppose to bring good luck, and has anyone seen those key chains they once made with a real rabbits foot.?
:Lao: :Lao:, One year at the malls they sold some kind of tails, most likely dog tails on key chains, made in china. Very fluffy and about 14 inches long. Cheap about $5.00 each and I bought a bunch to affix to my motorcycle jacket. This was the only year I ever saw them sold. Couple of years went by and I dug the jacket out of the back of my closet and as it was a winter riding jacket I wore it to work one cold day. I had a few inquires by management and coworkers where I had gotten the tails----Looked them all right in the eye and told them ""ROAD KILL." Those darn idiots believed me as occasionally some hunter will put a raccoon tail on their trucks antenna.
Now that I think about it in Texas I have seen cow skulls used as a hood ornament, long horn steers horns on the roofs and in Tenn. a neighbor of mine had a long horn Goat skull tied to the grill of his truck.
Now about those pants that boys and men wear with the crotch 3-4 inches below their junk and their skivies showing, It is one thing for a 70 year old man to feel comfortable in huge pants but for a teen or man in his 20-50's it makes me laugh. As ZZ Top would say, " ALL THE GIRLS GO CRAZY FOR A WELL DRESSED MAN"

Saggy britches = goofiness.
A friend's daughter sent her son to spend the summer with him because he was started to run with thugs in their area of CA. I had three teen daughters, they had many friends and our ranch was where a lot of b-ball and outdoor activities happened. The kid started hanging with mine and after two weeks he was in Wranglers. Said he couldn't get through barbed wire fences and keep up with the other kids in his saggies.
Now, if I could just market that experience.

I have pre-threatened my 10yr old son that if I EVAH caught him with his ass hanging out that I would embarrass him so bad in front of his friends. My boy is going to be an Eagle Scout and that hip hop shit ain't gonna happen in my house. :argh:

I've been lucky so far myself. Mine has always liked his hair extremely short and his pants up somewhere near his waist. Being in a Cub Scout and Boy Scout Troop that has strict requirements on hair length, dress and manners helps....and AJROTC.
His AJROTC school unit isn't as strict as his Scout Troop....which brings up how slack that unit is. At 19:00 (7 pm.) last night they call wanting him to be part of the Color Guard for a basketball game because...get this... 1/2 of the color guard unit hadn't shown up(and didn't show up). One of the boys knew my sons phone # and that his Scout Troop has a flag ceremony at every meeting, so they called him. We live 10 miles out of town and the Colors were to be presented at 7:45 pm. Me, him and Momma were running around here like chickens with their heads cut off... shining brass, changing insignias and ribbons from Class B to Class A uniform, wiping shoes, driving like a wild man....had him there by 7:30 so they could run thru it one time before the game.
Then this morning we had to do all changing again back onto his Class B uniform so he could wear it to school today.
ETA: Son said the Major ran them thru how to do the presentation once and he thought it was wrong but didn't say anything. Then after the game he asked about it and the Major said he realized his mistake when they were leaving the gym. Son was carrying the state flag and he was in front of (leading) the U.S. flag. Should have been behind.
-
:lmao: My son's hair has never gotten over a 1/4". I have been buzzing that since he had hair. Mine is a Weblo 2 right now bridging over this spring

that is too bad, it can happen to anyone, it was observant of your son to realize his mistake and ask about it, it shows maturity.

The Webloes that are coming up this year will meet with the Boy Scouts this Monday night so they can see some of what they will be doing as Scouts. The ones that came up last year will be having their packs and gear checked for an upcoming mountain backpacking and camping weekend the end of February.
The ones from last year have been on a couple of backpacking trips last fall but no winter time events. Moms tend to pack their packs and Mom puts so much unnecessary stuff in their packs a mule couldn't carry them.
The troop does something at least one weekend a month with six of those being backpacking/camping weekends. The troop goes to Philmont every forth year year so this is to get them in shape and trail wise for their great adventure. Son went this past summer and he still gets excited talking about it.

That sounds like an awesome troop. We have a bunch of pansies in our's. My son is one of a few that has a few polar bear badges. They always cancel right before if it's raining, hot, or cold. Hubby is a den leader.

It is the best in the district. They have strict requirements. Scouts must attend at least 75% of the meetings and other events, make rank and earn certain meritbadges on schedule. Order of the Arrow events are also required events.
Under the leadership of one Scout Master (32 years) they have bought and paid for a house, two vans, an enclosed trailer, canoes and trailer, camping equipment....the list goes on. They raise money by holding an annual auction, collecting cans and Christmas tree sales. The boys get credited for Christmas tree sales and is mostly how the boys pay for their Philmont trip. Any amount a scout earns over the amount they need for the trip they can use to buy personal gear needed for the trip.
They keep the troop small. I think there's 18/20 on the roll right now. Children of past troop members get first dibs, then kids of church members of the sponsoring church and then any remaining slots are up for grabs. Most of the boys live within a few miles of the Scout Hut but a couple of boys come from other distant towns to be in this troop....and some that live within a stones throw of the Scout Hut travel miles to be in other "softer" troops....my cousins kids being some of that group. :-) You may wonder how they keep it so small...well, 12 cubs moved up the same year my son did....and 9 dropped out before the end of the first year. The required commitment and effort is more than some kids and parents want to take on.
This coming Sunday is Scout Sunday at the church. The scouts will conduct the service. The past Scout Master (but still active in the troop) has put together a string band from within the troop and they will be playing religious songs Sunday. Son is in that group.

Interesting description of the troop dynamics. Most troops I'd ever heard of (and worked in) embraced just about anybody who would darken the doorway. While the standards are high - indeed, too high for many - there seems to be no problem with maintaining membership at the desired level. Although, I don't quite understand why they'd like to keep the troop that small. Twenty Scouts is not a lot, but I have to say if it works, no need to fix it.
This is proof positive that setting high standards and enforcing them bring out the best in people and separates the proverbial men from the boys.
I know you're proud of your son, JR. Good on both of you for the effort and the results. :cheersmate:

I really wish the bolded was true. My husband has a horrible den. It's like he got every kid with every type of behavioral problem. The parent's/grandparent's do nothing to reign their little heathen's in even after getting a talking to from the leader. I so wish we could kick the little bastard troublemaker's out :p
-
I misspoke when I said "They keep the troop small.". The rules tend to keep it small. My son has been in the troop for 5 years now and during that time I've only known of one kid that they asked not to come back...and hell, he is in my family tree....shame...shame... but the kid would actually lay down by the trail side and refuse to walk any more. Pulled that stunt more than once. The weak, lazy and misbehaving type soon fall out. The older boys are expected to help the younger scouts but after the first year they're expected to pull their own weight.
Many times I've heard the Scout Leaders say that when they travel people come up to them and compliment them on what a well behaved group of boys they have. It's hard to keep your thumb on a large group and get that kind of behavior.
Son had AJROTC every other day last year at school and was on the "Rifle Team". This year it's every day for the spring semester only. He had already joined the AJROTC "Raiders Team" this semester and then after getting called late the other night to be on the Color Guard, he up and joined the "Drill Team". So now he's either conditioning or drilling after school until 5 pm. everyday. He told the Major if any of the AJROTC stuff conflicted with his Scout stuff, the Scouts came first.
....and the truth shall find you out. Son's real reason for all that extra AJROTC stuff. Drill Team gets him a rope for one shoulder, Raider Team gets him a rope for the other shoulder, a couple of ribbons, some rank and some kinda insignia to pin on his uniform. Going for the bling to impress the girls I guess.

The packmaster's son here is scared of bugs. All of a sudden you will be out in the woods and hear what you would think was a woman screaming. He cries when he has to go camping :lmao:
