I prefer this look over the pants-pulled-up-to-the-nipples look that many "mature" men sport...

Hey dude, for some of us, it's pull it up to the nipples, or lose 'em. Your choice.

orginiated from. In U.S. prisons

havent seen any wearing them look like anything than a prisoner

Any community is free to determine what is obscene.

Hanging your bare ass out of your pants is obscene in some places. In other places wearing anything but this:

warrants a death sentence.

I'll let you decide what is oppressive.

personally I think both are oppressive

The head to toe burka guarment is oppressive. I don't see how someone CHOOSING to wear their pants below their waste would be deemed oppressive. Maybe you meant to say "offensive" (although I personally don't find it to be that either)...

Thats correct, I have been in Iraq for the past 4 years working as a contractor at first and now with my own buissness, and yes Saddam was not on that Sharia law oppress women type shit. He hated that stuff and would not allow folks like Al Quida in because it represented a threat to his own power. He went so far as to ban men from growing long beards and shot his son Uday in the leg when he defied his father's order.

Over his pants being too low?

our uni students wear low hangin jeans, and yes, they look ridiculous. SFW. Italians have their gold chains and jogging suits. middle aged fat europeans wear string bikinis and thongs. I remember my father saying to me and my brother "when are you going to cut that hair? you look like freaks". and my gf's father not letting her out of the house "in that skirt". my high school started up a dress code - and this was 60's california! you guys have nothing better to get worked up about than what teenagers are wearing? No wonder teenagers don't like old people.

Heheh no no , not for the pants, but because he tried to grow his beard out like Bin Ladin. lol
