kylejack Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 because I don't want to see some fools dirty boxers or some whores thong and I don't think people with kids should have their kids exposed to that......we wear cloths in America as they do in the vast majority (all) of the civilized countries in the world.....even in liberal europe where topless on the beach is acceptable I am sure most would think one is a fool if they walked around with their pants down to their knees especially if they knew it was imitating prison life...obviously the whole "civilization" thing has been lost on youHeh, you can tell that his boxers are dirty? How close a look are you taking?? Anyway, I don't really see any women doing the baggy pants thing, not to the extent where a thong can be seen, anyway. Its much more of a male thing.

But more than boxers showing, I hate seeing cr*ck! I hate it.But I also hate seeing people with tattoos, people wearing house shoes outside, and people with rollers in their hair outside.But again, it's not that big a deal and if that is how they want to present themselves to the world, God bless 'em.

MetroMogul Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 just because "black and Mexican" pops into your head when you hear stories of areas filled with crime and areas that have been trashed does not mean you have to transfer your guilt about thinking that to the rest of us.....if you hate it being veiled then come right out and admit that is what comes into your mind......or is that what your post was trying to admitI suppose you'd prefer your racism guilt free?

VicMan Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 I thought Sharpstown went down to Hillcroft. (Wasn't the old Sharpstown Drive-in at Bellaire and Hillcroft?} Definitely gets REAL bad on the other side of Hillcroft. Either way I agree that side of 59 is trash but at one time it was really nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexasVines Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Sure but you don't have to denigrate everybody else's ethnicity/culture to do it.I didn't I denigrated those that can't find pants that fit, learn to use a belt, refrain from swilling cheap beer while walking down major streets, tear up everything they live around, commit crimes all around their area, thump their music to disturb their neighbors, join gangs, pimp, ignore education, refuse to work, abuse social aid programs and the likeit is others on here that suddenly try and call that "culture" or say that describes one race or another....I don't, I denigrate all that do it no matter who they are or what color, race, or ethnic makup they are....those are not "cultural" norms they are antisocial ignorance that the vast majority of civilized society wants no part of that is why they move away or avoid the area when people who behave this way start to show up in large numbers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fringe Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 I'm with you TexasVines. I can't stand ignorant, lazy people that are a drain on our society. I don't care what race/color they are. Seems whenever you bring up these abominations the PC police assume your talking about a particular race/culture and have no right to do so.

Poppahop Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Ah, cheap beer, I see. How much do they need to spend on their beer?Maybe they should be sipping Pinot Grigio instead. It makes more sense to drink wine when walking the streets, as I know from experience that walking with beer makes the beer go flat fast.

And if he has a problem with that as well, I wonder why he bothered to make the distinction!since I have never seen people swilling expensive beer walking down the streets that does not seem to be an issue....I have seen one guy stealing expensive beer after a major storm though, but that was a different dealand the vast majority of those I see swilling the cheap beer on major streets in the middle of the day should probably be a lot less concerned with alcohol consumption and more concerned with finding a job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houston-development Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 back on topic.sorry if this has already been covered but just giving some insight on the mall. they foreclosed on tracy suttles about a year or so ago. the note holder is actually a group of 150 or so people.. think of it as a group of out-of-state average joes, that are not real estate savy, and its nothing more than a passive investment. in order for them to sell, they need a 100% approval vote. from what ive been told (couple of months ago), several groups approached them but nothing panned out.sorry to say but i dont believe anything will happen anytime soon...

MetroMogul Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 I don't see too many white people sipping "40s" during the middle of the day or sagging their pants around Sharpstown Mall. Well, come to think of it, I don't see too many people of any race or culture drinking a "40" and walking down the street near the mall. But of course, we know the demographics of both the mall and the apartments around the mall. And these are the people that many in here are railing against. As far as laziness goes, how do you even know they don't have a job? Have you polled every assumed "thug." Hmmmm, I'm supposing not. I wish those lazy housewives would get a job and stop walking their ugly dogs in that McMansion infested neighborhood of West University! Oh, they offend me so!

TexasVines Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Hm, what would be funny about this??because then they would be in an area where they are welcomed and out of an area where they are not welcomed.....you seem to find joy in the possibility that myself and another might be taking an investment hit because of losers and trash and you seem to relish their "culture" so why not solve the issue by transfering that culture to your area where you can tolerate them and enjoy their "rich culture" and have it influence your kids daily and make conversation with your wife.....after all what is the big deal they are just people with a different manor of dress, different habits about drinking, different ways of looking at trash disposal, different views on how to treat the places where they live, different opinions on work, and have a few issues with controling their violent ways.....and you seem to welcome it and be very tolerant of it.....they should thrive in an enviornment like yours VS being oppressed in an envoirnment like I would provide for them with all those pesky rules and expectations and puritan cultural clashesand what is really funny about it is just as I suspected when I even mentioned these scum bags and your area your attitude about them suddenly changed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N Judah Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 (edited) In San Diego it used to be legal to drink beer on the street. I think that in Europe you can drink beer on the street if you feel like it. When I lived in California I did that all the time. However, I have never seen anyone do it in Houston.
