I'm not sure I ever made an introduction yet.

Nice attempt at the use of ethos/pathos. Unfortunately it's ineffective...don't use the suffering of others to mask your own interests.

It's the truth. I learned in it fashion class at school. As you claim, things are learned. And apparently you think everything in school is right, so I'm using your own argument against you.

Please quote where I said "everything in school is right". Or where I implied that. I simply understand that academic forums are simply that...academic forums. We don't learn by having things spewed at us, we learn through discourse and rhetoric. Uniforms simply level the playing field of the forum. Those who can't hang will raise cane about it "killing the individual".

And I really don't care what you learned in fashion class. Neither should you since "few things of value" are learned through high school courses. And you tend to be arguing that "nothing in school is right" if you'll allow me to make assumptions as you have.

At the end of the day, it really doesn't matter if uniforms exist or not. I certainly HOPE that by the time I have kids and they're going to school, it's a fixture. If not, that's fine too. Those who want to learn will learn, those who don't will focus on the minutiae.

It'll never be a fixture. It will never happen in America. Just like Communism will never happen in America.

No, that was called Socialism. There's a big difference.

Can Godwin's law be invoked for Communism? If so, I think this discussion is over.

I think that would be a bad idea. We wouldn't be able to have any discussions of American politics in General Topics.

You know, that's just the kind of commie pinko question they used to ask on internet forums in Nazi Germany.

And you think that school is for chillin' and sex [with minors]. It is a perfect illustration of why China is the future, and why I was born in a first-world nation and will likely die in a third-world nation; all without ever going through a naturalization process.

We'll always be a first world nation. Just because the rest of the world is slowly catching up to America, doesn't mean that America will become the next Rwanda.

Remember that quote for the next 10 years. As you begin to understand the world around you, the error of that statement will become blatently evident.
