So is likening everythng back to the Civil Rights Movement ßelals Girl Send a noteboard - 14/03/2010 04:17:54 AM
I think everybody should be forced to wear clothes from the same manufacturer. Any argument against this stance is wrong, because once you allow clothes from different manufacturers, why, where will you end up?!

Stupid argument.


I think going to the prom naked should be allowed. After all, saying the you must wear clothes is oppressive to nudists as well as others who would be more comfortable freeing themselves from the confines of clothing. These people should be allowed to be themselves and anyone who doesn't want to see their naughty bits hanging out is a selfish bigot who is putting their own comfort ahead of these students' rights. This is exactly like the oppression of blacks with Jim Crow laws, and therefore, since we all agree those were bad, this oppression should stop too. Anyone who disagrees on any grounds is just like those nasty racists from the 50s and 60s.

Stupid argument.

Oh, it is definitely self-defense. Dannymac - 12/03/2010 05:52:50 AM 838 Views
That analogy is not apt. Dragonsoul - 12/03/2010 06:10:27 AM 896 Views

That's right, I forgot to add that. Dragonsoul - 12/03/2010 03:23:25 PM 833 Views
It's a rather key piece of any attempted analogy, wouldn't you say? Sareitha Sedai - 12/03/2010 03:45:15 PM 731 Views
Again, you're right. Dragonsoul - 12/03/2010 03:59:13 PM 702 Views
Yup. Sareitha Sedai - 12/03/2010 04:02:26 PM 806 Views
Not really. Her point is that they should both be illegal. beetnemesis - 12/03/2010 07:01:47 PM 738 Views

Kind of a different can of worms then Isaac - 12/03/2010 03:20:35 AM 800 Views
What?! Now that is a can of worms I could see getting in a fight over. Tashmere - 14/03/2010 01:24:47 AM 783 Views
Hmm. Apparently it is legal to discriminate upon the basis of gender. Imagine that. Tashmere - 14/03/2010 02:45:51 AM 773 Views
It kind of makes sense, given the highly arbitrary and stereotypical nature of gender. Ghavrel - 14/03/2010 03:35:44 AM 701 Views

No no, I know how you feel. I'm just disinclined to have sympathy for the school. beetnemesis - 12/03/2010 11:28:35 PM 686 Views
Alternatively, I have little sympathy for the school, I just don't have much for her either Isaac - 12/03/2010 11:56:08 PM 818 Views
