Hermione Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Clearly, you've never had to travel for business. The involuntary bump remains a mortal fear of the person flying to a job site or to meet a client. Oh I'm sure it could be a nightmare . Maybe if Billie had been in that position he would've gritted his teeth and pulled his pants up. Maybe anyway haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IscoredWaddlesgoals Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 I'm sorry, but how is refusing to pull up your trousers and swearing at someone 'sticking it to the man' or not bowing to authority ? He's hardly a Libyan protester is he ? If he'd have just done as they'd asked in the first place, none of this would have happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heather. Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 It's not a huge 'sticking it to the man' statement, no. I don't think he was trying to make any statement at all about authority. I really believe this is just how he honestly reacted in this situation, being his obnoxious self. And his lovable obnoxious self happens to automatically reject authority. No one's calling him the next Tank Man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frankiessister Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Who knows, maybe Billie would have pulled up his pants, had he known that he would be all over the place with this shit. Anyways, could he just had done as he was asked? Yes, he could. Was he right to be pissed? Yes ,he was, in my opinion at least, but he could still have pulled up his pants. Reading people's comments, it's more about if they like Green Day or not, if low-sagging pants are appropiate for a 39 year old man or not or if people generally like saggy pants or not. None of this is the question, which to me is: was his clothing in any way offensive or indecent? (If so, why did they let him get on the plane in the first place?) And this is a hard one, as what is acceptable for you might not be for me and viceversa. I do get the impression though that this is -again- a very American thing, even more so as Southwestern is based in Texas. In all my travelling all over Europe -which has been quite a lot- I have never come across something like that, nor have I ever heard any kind of discussion about this issue. I can't imagine something like this happening here, you'd really have to be almost naked. There are better reasons than "inappropiate" clothing to remove people from flights, like the bunch of half-drunk rowdys I had to endure on a 3 hours flight, or the smelly guy in front of me on my last trip who didn't even seem to know the word "shower". I sure would have applauded if they had thrown him out. Now I suppose Billie (or his undies) didn't reek like old fish, did he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elena Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 http://thesop.org/st...aggy-pants.html look at what they had written !! =O " Billie Jo Armstrong is 39, it`s time for him to tighten his belt and wipe off the mascara." and "This isn`t a case of having the freedom to dress however you want to in public. Obviously the line has to be drawn somewhere, no passenger would want to sit next to a guy wearing nothing but a Speedo. This is a matter of civility and manners -- nobody wants to see your dirty drawers Mr. Armstrong." this really pissing me off . obviously who wrote it have no idea about billie yeah that was stupid -.- but the worst sentence was this one: "It`s time for Billie to grow up, he can start by calling himself "Bill" and pulling up his pants." ...I mean his name IS Billie and not Bill, so why should he change it ?? the person who wrote that is just dumb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overjoyed Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Everyone on here knows how Billie wears his pants and what is wrong with it? I mean c´mon guys, saying Billie is too old to dress like he does just irritates the shit out of me and me being a bit older feel offended by it.I don´t feel old in any way and don´t want people to tell me how to dress. Everyone can wear what the hell they want! And I mean aren´t underpants some kind of clothes as well? I could understand if too much naked skin in the wrong parts is revealed but it´s not like Billie showed any parts of his body that shouldn´t be shown in public. Ok now I´m done with my rant. And btw I like his saggy pants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armstrong’s offense? Excessively droopy drawers. Maybe his next flight should be to Hot Topic, to buy himself a belt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Billiejoezee- Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 You know, I'm totally on billie's side. If he wasn't showing his ass (which I doubt he was) then he has the right to be mad. That's how he dresses and I don't think he should change it for a flight. And yeah an F-bomb slipped out, but we all know how billie gets when he's angry. I'm still suprise he doesn't fly first class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
