Many people are unable to relocate.
In which case we would have to choose B.
You are only thinking of yourself. You have the false premise that I am alone in my belief. However, you are completely wrong there and ignoring those who do not care and only taking into account those who do care is bad logic and thus your argument is invalid.
Way to throw my own argument back at me.
Bad logic? If they don't care, it means it doesn't matter to them what decision I make, and if it did, then they would fall under the "Do Care" category.
If you think you're in the "Do Not Care" category, then maybe you should re-think it, because by arguing with me, there's no way you fall in that.
By definition proper enforcement will work. You have said nothing.
Said nothing? Please, do expand.
Cloths != looks. Looks != cloths. Body != looks (while dressed). Looks != body (while dressed). The point is, some people take comfort in making decision about what to wear that they believe makes them look nice. A uniform is just going to make them feel like shit regardless if everyone else wears the same thing as their bodies are different which means they all look different in uniforms. Some will still be hot, but lesser so. Some will be hotter. Some will be less ugly. Some will be uglier.
Are we forgetting the "Do Not Care" category?
If someone was rich/popular, I would feel much more comfortable to approach him/her if we both wore the same uniforms.
How many people get made fun of for their cloths? Like two people a year? And yes you can change your looks by changing your cloths.
Was talking about the face mainly.
The main point is, it will eliminate the sense of superiority, as opposed to a friend circle in which the richest is often regarded as the strongest.
It's not. I was nullifying an argument, not making one.
Nullifying? You were saying X (some students) prefer Y (the freedom to wear whatever you want), therefore Z (uniforms) should be gotten rid of, giving no regard at all to A (the other students).
By saying that, you only considered only what a fraction of the school's population thought.
Meanwhile, I considered EVERY opinion (X and A) and decided that they would benefit if I removed a layer of separation.
What? Bullies will bully no matter what you do. There is nothing you can do to change that, so no I didn't support bullying.
You endorsed competitive dressing, while at the same time saying "Don't do it if you don't want to," ignoring the fact that people will still get dragged into it.
Again, remember this word: reduction.
A. Lay your cloths out at night.
B. Put on what ever is on top.
C. Stop worrying so much about what matches what.
Yet you agree that some people like to be able to choose what they want to wear. Contradict yourself much? You're trying to force your opinion on others.
Reduction through destruction of basic human rights? Dress codes work. Very well. Uniforms work well. Very well. Which one denies students their rights more? Uniform. Which makes sense economically? Dress code. Which works better? Dress code. It helps students define themselves and figure out who they are which is one of the main challenges of your teen years (read that in my girlfriends kids development book). Parents can also enforce non-uniform dress codes.
You don't "need" clothes to define who you are. People have different personalities for a reason. I've worn a uniform all my life, and trust me, I used to hate it at first but then I began to see that the pros outweighed the cons. I've already defined myself. Do you see me having to use "clothes" to achieve that?
If? Dress codes are just as easy to enforce as uniforms if not easier.
Your point is irrelevant. He said that the principal had to waste his time lecturing all the rule-breakers, and I responded by saying that a proper enforcement would eliminate
most of these cases, if not all.
If you agree that they are pretty much on the same level when it comes to "Which one is easier to enforce?" then you can't really bring that point up.
Not an excuse to get rid of uniforms even though that is contributing to a persons low self esteem? I like that logic. No excuse to get rid of rapists. No excuse to get rid of murders. No excuse to get rid of bullies.
Anyways. Uniforms can cause bullying and non-uniforms can too. You seem to hate bullying, so you can not decide that one act of bullying is good while another is bad. Individuality is important in the teen years since that is one of the main struggles of those years. Finding yourself, what you like, who you are are some of the major changes you go through and not being able to present yourself to the world as you can seriously fuck up a kid.
Cool. And I assume someone
VERY smart gave you the idea that rapists, murderers and pedophiles are comparable here. I don't think I look very "hot" in my uniform, but that does not mean I suffer from low-self esteem. If you are suffering from it, then the main cause is something else, not clothes. It could perhaps be the inability to do something you've always wanted to do (sports for example). Nobody to give you the confidence you always needed. Nobody telling you, "You can do it." Nobody you can call a real friend. No real goal, no purpose. It's ridiculous if you think someone's gonna go into severe depression because of some uniform enforcement. At best, they would feel uncomfortable.
You seem to only look at the negative sides of things. I never said bullying was a good act, I am saying that there are positive lessons to be learned. You learn to stand up for yourself against the discriminators, and in this process, you also learn how to swallow your own fear and gain the ability to face your enemies directly.
In the same way, you learn as you grow that anger makes you lose control over your body causing you to do irrational things, and it's best to suppress it, and despite it being a negative emotion, you convert it into something positive.
I do not need clothes to define who I am. The body I've been born with, and the personality that I possess is all that I could ever need. Were you not the one to say, "Do not judge people by their looks"? And what does one aim for when he/she wears pretty clothes? Looks, obviously.
Banning alcohol in the US caused the amount being consumed every year to spike even higher than when it was legal. Teens in the US drink way more than teens in countries where it is legal. Making things against the rules makes people do them more many times.
Take this to the alcohol thread and I'll give you a proper response, even though I hate re-typing that which has already been said once.
