Wash them in hot water then as soon as the washer stops put them in the drier at the highest setting.That wont last forever though.Just buy jeans that fit or buy a belt.

You do not wash your own clothes?If you did you would know what shrinks clothes.

As for schools that is a different story personally I think schools should all require uniforms.
The whole thing gets to much Hype and Type imo.

Do these kids today realize that the "Saggy Pants" fad started in prison where inmates used to wear their drawers low to display that they were um... owned.. by another inmate ? Shortly after, it became a gang-banger style because to a certain segment of the population, going to prison is a badge of honor and is something to be admired.

To be honest I don't even understand how its a desirable fashion or comfortable at all (yes I understand that it originated in prison... which says something else about the younger generations of today..)

Whenever I see one of these clowns walking down the street I can't help but laugh.

If they want to look like the retarded scum of society that they appear to be, I say let them.

Did you somehow manage to miss the entire part of the thread where that was already mentioned, discussed thoroughly over several posts and pretty much disproved? You should read the thread before posting.

That's why I still call myself a learner. I didn't know the history of the word, to me it always meant as a worthless person, which fits to the original meaning, as a whore or a prison bride are on the lower end of the status ladder.

I didn't either, until I followed AVGWarhawk's link to Snopes, and then did some research on my own.

Thank the Lord my parents required I wear proper clothing that was not ill-fitting and a good belt to keep my pants in the correct position. I will not, however, thank them for the darn Hush Puppie shoes I was told to wear to school. Stupid half-moonie shoes.

Jim, I had a color section with these shoes. Either black or brown.

Eventually I convinced my mom that everyone were tennis shoes.

Back in the 60's I had a pair of Clarks 'Pathfinder shoes, with animal track soles and a compass in the heel.' Oh and a Johnny Seven Gun.

I was the bees knees
