Could anyone please explain the reasoning behind banning body piercings? Tashmere Send a noteboard - 18/09/2010 12:00:00 AM
I am having a hard time figuring out a logical reason for this rule? Does it really matter? What am I missing?

I can get behind a rule that I agree with the reasoning for. I can tolerate a rule that I can at least understand a reason for but I have a hard time with rules against doing things that don't effect anyone other than the person doing them.

A nose piercing may be distracting for five or ten minutes tops. After than you would get used to it and not think anything more about it. How are pierced ears any different than other piercings?

How do they handle a Sikh's dagger? - 17/09/2010 05:26:29 PM 359 Views
i doubt it's something that'll come up - 17/09/2010 05:30:00 PM 345 Views
I believe they do that anyway. It's not as if they ever take it out, anyway. *NM* - 17/09/2010 05:33:32 PM 145 Views
ah fair enough then. *NM* - 17/09/2010 05:36:00 PM 146 Views

Actually, Wikipedia says it has come up in the US and Canada both. - 19/09/2010 03:28:40 PM 351 Views

Short answer would be yes... but I'll wait for you to prove - 18/09/2010 12:32:39 AM 396 Views
you can't "prove" evolution but I would guess you still think it is true - 18/09/2010 04:36:45 PM 350 Views

I think dress codes, in general, are absurd in any case, so... *NM* - 17/09/2010 10:48:11 PM 139 Views
It's clearly bullshit, all the angsty hand-wringing aside. *NM* - 17/09/2010 11:17:01 PM 144 Views

schoolsprobably have lots of rules you don't like - 18/09/2010 12:36:24 AM 374 Views
It wasn't the end to the world but it did instill a disrespect for arbitrary rules. Leg warmers were - 18/09/2010 01:11:36 AM 394 Views
I still don't understand the leg warmer thing - 18/09/2010 03:02:12 PM 366 Views
