I think they should pull them up. Self expression is fine in a given time and place. But walking through stores with you boxers showning appears foolish.
I concur with the previous comment. I also want to say that despite how much the sagging really annoys me, it should not result in someone being sentenced to the fringes of society. I had college teachers and knew colleagues (educators in the New York City Board of Education in the 1980s) who sagged, and often times wore pants that revealed more than the average teen with saggy pants, and they were in professional roles. These people were never called to task, and often times were looked to for mainstream opinion. Two standards for two different groups. What else is new.
