Instead of being the lost soul of a loner drifting aimlessly having a peripatetic wind, I'm now preferring something with more bite to it. As experience is just nature cruel way of giving the exams first followed by their lessons; you eventually reach a point where silence can no longer be contained no matter the cost.

Sagging slacks: Offensive fad or fashion statement? - today > news - TODAY.com#.V0bVd_krI-U
Sagging slacks: Offensive fad or fashion statement? - today > news - TODAY.com#.V0bVd_krI-U: When it comes to fashion, you can always be sure of two things.
The first is that each generation of young people will find a new way to offend their elders.
The other is that grown-ups will try to stop them.
Today, the trend that offends is wearing baggy, drooping pants that ride around the thighs, the better to show off a young man’s taste in boxer shorts. And the grown-up who wants to stop it is Atlanta City Councilman C.T. Martin.
Inspired by his constituents, particularly teachers, who are tired of looking at other people’s underwear, Martin has introduced legislation in Atlanta that would outlaw clothing that shows off underwear, be it boxers, thongs, sports bras or even bra straps.
Nonsense, say civil libertarians. It’s not only an infringement of the First Amendment’s freedom of expression, but because the fashion is most popular among young African-Americans, it’s also a thinly veiled effort at racial profiling.
Martin, who is African-American, denied targeting blacks. “The last time I looked, people of all ages and people of all origins were involved in this,” he said. “That’s not my discussion. My discussion is a way to figure out a way to get this issue talked about.”
The fashion has been around for a number of years. It is said to have had its start in prisons, where inmates are not allowed to wear belts and frequently have ill-fitting pants.
From there, it spread from the inner cities to suburbia.
***
The aesthetic appearance and racist, homophobic designs and messages, and traffic disruption are horrible. The whole mess presented by this yard is detrimental to my property values.
M. Ayres Gardner, Decatur, GA
There was a sign saying, "sometimes you have to pick up a gun to put down a gun." I found this very disturbing as is the full-face sock-monkey mask. This person is escalating his disruptive activities. If he "goes off the rails" do we want to look back and say, why didn't someone do something to intervene?
Marian Gordin, Atlanta GA
***
Old news but feel the need bringing it up again.
While still working as an occasional relief veterinarian for the owner of The People's Pet, me and young black male technician got into a debate over Atlanta City Councilman Martin's attempt getting a law passed locally outlawing sagging. Terrell was in favor of this law being passed; I was against it. And it surprised me the amount of indifference Terrell's showed toward even hearing possible reasons as to why these young men may be dressing as they were. To Terrell it was all about how this sagging trend was only holding black people back. To me, it was this very attitude the likes of his these young men might very well be using as their justification angering even their own kind. Although I don't care to see it myself, I am able seeing this fashion trend as a non-violent form of protest the best they have been able figuring out how left all to their lonesome fending for themselves. And to outlaw this fashion trend as a way of expressing oneself only creates the possibility of pushing them toward others ways of protesting possible violent.

DeKalb County: Enforce Code of Ordinances regarding signs at 1840 Mason Mill Rd Bobby Rasulnia United States
***
***
***
In addition to the facts in Mr. Rasulnia's letter, at times the resident wears masks while he is flag dancing and yelling at cars. At times he has some sort of toy gun that shoots bubbles at the cars on Mason Mill, and is otherwise disturbing. An obvious change has taken place in this person. Up until about 10 years ago, he used to have appropriate, tasteful holiday decorations in his yard for Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas. But something made him take a change for the worse. I do my best to ignore him but, it just needs to stop.

Just thought I would let you know that I've taken down the six inflatables placed closest to the sidewalks. That this action on my part is not to be confused with me giving in to your complaints; only that I've decided to focus my attention more on writing over the next month since Emory Eye Clinic has given me a 15% chance of going blind within the next five years. And will also be limiting the number of signs in my yard as well. Now that I know that I've definitely gotten your attention (names going along with it as well), even probably having had your attention all along (which was all I was ever wanting), I'm going to try and use these comments posted along with Bobby's petition as conversation starters for my writings.
Finding it hard to believe, out of all my many, many signs, not a single positive comment about any of them. Yet, per Harriet Holloway, up until a certain point, I used to have appropriate, tasteful Holiday decorations in my yard for Halloween, Thanksgiving, and X-Mas.
Let's see, one X-Mas I had thirteen inflatables in my front yard, strings of icicle lights hanging from the house and almost every bush in my front yard, strings of lights laid on the ground around the inflatables, three lit up reindeers, many lit up wire X-mas trees of varying sizes, cars suddenly coming to a halt when unexpectedly happening upon my X-mas festivities as well as impatient drivers behind them honking at them far more than any honking I've ever heard associated with my signs, etc., etc., etc,. Every complaint I have heard or read about my sign could just as easily have applied to my Holidays decorations but many time more so.
Here's the gist of what my writing is going to be about...
And this is what I like about being the radical atheist that I am, being that of one who is now choosing believing in "ZERO" god as opposed to someone believing in "ONE" god. They are both real numbers, both natural numbers, the only difference being that one is a counting "CARDINAL" number. As you will find no two people agreeing exactly the same as to what it means when believing in a god, then as far as I'm am concerned, we then have just as many gods as people claiming to believe in a god, have ever claimed to believe in a god, and forever will be claiming to believe in a god; until there is no longer an observer left standing able claiming to believe in a god.
By claiming to believe in "ZERO" god, this now leave the only god available being my witness, the genuine one, if truly indeed we have one.
I'm convinced now that you are all nothing more than a bunch of self-centered agnostic anonymous pseudo-erotomaniacs. There's simply no other explanation explaining the behaviours I've witness as you have driven by and now able reading.
"PEOPLE HIDE BEHIND GOD TRYING TO FOOL OTHERS IN THE WORLD BUT WHAT THEY FAIL TO REALIZE IS THAT THE WORLD IS NOT BIG ENOUGH TO HIDE BEHIND TO TRY AND FOOL GOD."
I'm only as radical an atheist as one claiming to be a person of faith.
I'm believing myself to be pretty good with "Principle of Charity." And I challenge the rest of you to try and be the same. Nothing difficult about it. Just takes willingness making effort.
Petitioning Dekalb County and 1 other
DeKalb County: Enforce Code of Ordinances regarding signs at 1840 Mason Mill Rd
We, the undersigned residents of the Mason Mill area, encourage DeKalb County to enforce the county’s Code of Ordinances and ensure that the resident at 1840 Mason Mill Road complies with them.
We are greatly disturbed by the number, design characteristics, content, and location of signs and activities in the front yard of 1840 Mason Mill Road. Many of the signs use offensive language and present distasteful, provocative and abusive content. In addition to violating many of the DeKalb County Code of Ordinances, the excessive signage:
- creates an aesthetic nuisance,
- is a threat to public safety as a traffic hazard, and
- is a detriment to property values and to the county’s general public welfare.
Over the past decade, the signs have become excessive and they are often accompanied by dancing flags. These activities are distracting and potentially dangerous to motorists and pedestrians, and substantially detract from the beauty and appearance of our community.
For the public health, safety, and welfare of the community, we urge DeKalb County to amplify and accelerate the enforcement of DeKalb County Code of Ordinances, Sections 21(Signs) & 27 (Zoning) to regulate and control the number, design characteristics, content, and locations of signs and activities in the front yard of 1840 Mason Mill Road.
This petition will be delivered to:
- Dekalb County
- Mason Mill Civic Association & Neighbors

Bobby Rasulnia started this petition with a single signature, and now has 189 supporters. Start a petition today to change something you care about.

I'm the mentally disturbed person who lives at 1840 Mason Mill Road. I'm definitely in agreement with my "NEXTDOOR" neighbor Bobby that DeKalb County needs to enforce their code ordinances consistently or they have no business being in the business of enforcing code ordinances...PERIOD! But there's one little bitty problem: BOBBY'S SUCH A WORTHLESS DOUBLE-THINK!
"I'M INCREASING YOUR PROPERTY VALUE!" I"M INCREASING YOUR PROPERTY VALUE!" i'M INCREASING YOUR PROPERTY VALUE!" "TREES ARE DANGEROUS; ALMOST DIED BECAUSE OF ONE!" "I'M INCREASING YOUR PROPERTY VALUE!" -(BOBBY'S PARTNER)~
"It's Charlie's money and he can spend it however he wants." -Bobby Rasulnia
Bobby and his partner had no problem being "glib" / "dismissive" of all their soon to be new neighbors upset about them cutting down so many trees on their newly acquired property, in the process, violating DeKalb County's green laws. DeKalb County themselves were dismissive of my two phoned in complaints. "What can we do; the trees are a threat to his house?" -EPA
"That's our point! This house didn't have to be their's!" - Resident 1840 Mason Mill Road.
Now this property next door to mine is up for sale.
WTF!!!
And listen to this, it's being described as an "URBAN OASIS" known as the "HOLLYWOOD HOUSE."
DIDN'T SEE THAT COMING! MY GOD! WHAT'S it MADE OF?! THE CALIFORNIA REDWOOD FORREST!!!
All I'm able seeing when taking that virtual tour online is a "DEAD DEAD DEAD PLANET HOLLYWOOD!"
And it gets even funnier. One feature of this house is the "private" media room. LOL LOL LOL This room is not private! TV screen big enough for me joining them without leaving my house; well, up until they extended the roof over the backyard patio. Now I have to go stand in the driveway.
But they can still see Norman Bate's window from their house.
I'm able seeing these two doing nothing more than repeating the same process all over again with their next investment.
PRAISE THY GOOD LORD's NEXT DOOR NEIGHBORS AND NEIGHBORHOOD LEADS. WHEN YOU GOT TWO OF THE SAME THING, ALL YOU NEED IS BUT ONE. MAKE THEM A SANDWICH, HELP YOURSELF TO THE BREADCRUMBS YOU TEMPORARY DISPLAY EVENTS!
I don't know about your guys, but...I...DO...consider our trees to be "FAG ENABLERS." You betcha!!! I'm all for DeKalb County... CONSISTENTLY...
enforcing their code ordinances! Including it's Green Laws. Remember, this... DID... all start in the beginning with me trying to embarrass DeKalb County into admitting willful accessory to Mr. Bliss and Mr. Rasulnia crime of violating our GREEN LAWS. And I will hold anyone helping these two profit from the sell of this house to be just as guilty.
Maybe this is why I been able...BEING...so persistent..?

9 He said, “Go and tell this people:

Otherwise they might see with their eyes,
hear with their ears,
understand with their hearts,
and turn and be healed.”

You might as well go ahead and kill the children yourselves. Certainly would save someone else their own generations the trouble of being vilified having done it for you instead. Until I see a change in your behaviors, Adam Lanza did those children a favor.
Nothing going to change until someone really cares. Just won't.

I tried uploading the following additional comment to Bobby Rasulnia's Online Petition:

WHY BELIEVE IN GOD!

For some reason, no explanation given,
was unable doing so. .?
Hum!
Interesting! Very interesting!

Nothing going to change until someone really cares. Just won't.
I am tired of seeing this person break the law for no reason.
I am disgusted and embarrassed to pass this house daily. It is rude and dangerous and needs to be removed
I have to pass this house twice a day, it is disturbing.
I agree
I have passed these signs and the dancing man in front of the home many times. This is a public nuissance and is innaproriate for young children, let alone an eyesore and a detriment to home values.
I was stuck in traffic and my children and I were very disturbed by the verbiage in the signs. I feel they crossed the line of decency.
I have seen this guy (I assume it is a man)! This guy wears a mask as he dances to loud music, and does some crazy flag routine. Not sure what this person is trying to accomplish other than a hateful agenda based on the verbiage of the signs.
I drive by this ridiculous mess everyday. Not only is it non sense but it distracts drivers. I feel sorry for immediate neighbors who'd property value is clearly effected by this nut. I have often had to honk at drivers stopping to try and red this non sense!
A number of the resident's signs are offensive and some even contain profanity. The signs and blow-up figures are an eyesore and threaten to lower property values in the area, making it difficult for neighbors adjacent to the resident's house or across form it to see their homes.
It is an eyesore
We find many of these signs offensive.
i was stuck in traffic right in front of the signs with young kids who could read in the car. The signs are very inappropriate
I live in this community and the distractions are so frequent that they result in a safety hazard. So annoying.
In addition to the facts in Mr. Rasulnia's letter, at times the resident wears masks while he is flag dancing and yelling at cars. At times he has some sort of toy gun that shoots bubbles at the cars on Mason Mill, and is otherwise disturbing. An obvious change has taken place in this person. Up until about 10 years ago, he used to have appropriate, tasteful holiday decorations in his yard for Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas. But something made him take a change for the worse. I do my best to ignore him but, it just needs to stop.
I am a near-by neighbor who is impacted by this resident.
I would like all my neighbors to follow county ordinances
