Oh, I know that ATL has many cultures represented. I just mean that it'd be one thing if the city was such a melting pot that you couldn't say there was a specific race being targeted but, since Atlanta is known as "the Black Mecca," no one could really make that argument stick.

So you're using diverse to mean a how much different groups blend?

Legislating fashion is one of the more ridiculous things I have heard. I have NO problems with private and public schools being allowed to set standards for appropriate clothing, that makes sense. This is just dumb.

If parents are tired of seeing their 14-year olds aping these fashions then they need to make sure that little Susie isn't out there buying thongs with their money, not expecting a police officer to waste their time arresting, or more likely ticketing her, for being a fashion victim.

Waste of time and effort on legislation that would be about as effective as laws on the books banning the drinking of coca-cola on Sundays.

By diverse I mean how many cultures/races are represented vs. how many there are. Atlanta encompasses many cultures/races yet when people think "Atlanta" many, if not most, think "Black people." So while it may be "diverse" it does not always appear so to everyone.

Just wrong, Tony!

I think I'm a little torn on this law. I would love, love, love to see people not sag any more, but making it a law? I dunno.
