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 814 Views
That analogy is not apt. Dragonsoul - 12/03/2010 06:10:27 AM 876 Views

That's right, I forgot to add that. Dragonsoul - 12/03/2010 03:23:25 PM 816 Views
It's a rather key piece of any attempted analogy, wouldn't you say? Sareitha Sedai - 12/03/2010 03:45:15 PM 709 Views
Again, you're right. Dragonsoul - 12/03/2010 03:59:13 PM 684 Views
Yup. Sareitha Sedai - 12/03/2010 04:02:26 PM 786 Views

Kind of a different can of worms then Isaac - 12/03/2010 03:20:35 AM 778 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 760 Views
Hmm. Apparently it is legal to discriminate upon the basis of gender. Imagine that. Tashmere - 14/03/2010 02:45:51 AM 749 Views
It kind of makes sense, given the highly arbitrary and stereotypical nature of gender. Ghavrel - 14/03/2010 03:35:44 AM 675 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 657 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 791 Views
