So going into tests now, I'm informed that if my hair colour doesn't fade within 2 weeks I will be threatened with suspension.

Honestly, it's not that bad. Though apparently it is 'offensive' and 'makes me seem anti-social'. It makes people smile to see a bit of colour doesn't it? So a question, when did colour become offensive? If not a time, then a reason.

If you're going to a Public school, they can't throw you out for that. If you're going to a Private school, well then, you're screwed. I, for one, like the hair. It looks "Rottenesque".

Bah, you're not in America, so my opinion really doesn't count now, does it?

where is it found to be offensive.

at my school tramlines in your hair are "offensive" and you can be suspended until the hair grows back

Whether you go to a private school or not, I don't think that they have the right to tell you what you can do to your body. Dress codes and uniforms, I understand. But this...
Your hair looks hot. Don't let the man keep you down.

It's not really the color that they think is offensive, it's the nonconformity.

I wish like hell I could link to you lyrics or the track of "You're Getting Better" by Ken Nordine...but I can't so this is sort of moot...

I go to a public school indeed. Rottenesque, I'll have to go discover what that means.

As for my location, don't get your nicka's in a knot. It's just a joke that I am not bothering to get rid of. It's just I am used to this "Your American...or your from somewhere else."
EDIT-
Ooooh ROTTENesque, I understand now. God I'm so selectively cultuered *shakes head in shame

seriously, check your school rules the ones written down, not the ones teachers make up (legally they can't do that)) and your local youth laws. You will find that most likely they cannot expel you from a public school.

I swear my school has a stick up the faculaties collective asses.

Imagine the shit I'm gonna cop for having a ponytail... Seriously though they shouldn't be able to suspend you for your hair. That's crap.

I mistook your location for saying "In America". Yeah, I'm getting tired of that "You're American, or you're from somewhere else" bullshit, too.

And I knew you'd get it, sooner or later!

Thats bull!

keep your hair, don't do what they say! Rebel!

Glinde, I'd suggest you go to your principal. If they refuse to listen, contact the American Civil Liberties Unions (ACLU.org) and you can contact the press. The New York Times has a hotline, somewhere, on NewYorkTimes.com and there are several numbers you can find on the internet, of news contacts.

I'd specifically suggest contacting the people listed above as well as CBS News and any local newspapers, if you can find their numbers in the phonebook. The ACLU might even be able to get you a lawyer. What they're doing is pretty much illegal. If it's dangerous or disturbs other students, it should not be allowed, by dyed hair is fairly common. Your color hair is no more disturbing than blonde or brown hair. I'd like to see them try to prove in court that it's disturbing to other students.

For Christ's sake, it's just hair - is it really worth it?

This is the sort of problem that being bald solves, you know. ;)

As I said before, talk to the principal first. But if that still doesn't work...

Here's how you can contact the ACLU and report your school, possibly even getting a lawyer. Just look for your local ACLU affiliate.

If they'll have a story over that idiotic mother being told she has to spank her kid or take him home, surely, this is just as important. It's not legal or ethical. And it's ridiculous.

Tell them what happened and send them your photo. Hopefully, you'll hear back from them.

In the news a while back a primary school kid got automatically sent home for having his hair too short or a kid was turned down from his big exams for having the wrong colour trousers on.

What are these exams?

In my school, kids were forced to change their clothes because they said Billa'bong' on them.

What a fantastic idea. Of course I'll have to find the Australian version of that but hell yeah. Hey I should take it a step further, say they were doing it only because they're like homophobic or something lol...Oh wait, it's racism, it's because I'm black right! Clearly.

I see. That happened a while ago. My high school (uni to you right?) never really had any concept of dress code. Girls come to school with transparent shirts. That was really sick.

Nah we still call it high school darlin.

Well like we we're uniforms, so isn't taking away our choice to wear comfortable, not cold in the winter, not hot n stinky in the summer clothes enough without taking away what I do to my hair. BTW we're definately not allowed any piercings beside ears. No nose, eye brows or lip. No visible tatoo's (even henna). Don't forget no jewlery of anykind except plain silver or gold rings on girls and definately no beanies even though the school doesn't offer a school code equivalent. Mmmm love that public aspect.

Hmm. Stupid rule like so many of them.

Either you see someone about it. Or cut your hair I guess.:(

Unless you want to start some protest going. Which most, of the time wouldn't be worth your time or effort.

I don't think he should. I like his hair. I could just ignore them. I've seen it work with a lot of people. I think it's a natural talent you have to have.

I am the god of ignoring, putting off, distracting, sudden subject changes and coversation manipulation. I'm sure I can keep it up for a few more months. I just think it's a very plain man who finds red 'antisocial'. God forbid if it rained when the sun come out...

It's funny, like when I first got it I was like "Yeah that's right, people lookin at me cause of the hair" but now it's just normal to me so I forget like "What the hell are you looking at? Oh...oh right the hair eh..."

I just reckon the more colours you see each day the better. Me and my hair stylist have so much fun, I just walk in, put the money on the counter and say "have fun". I always have fun, well designed hair styles. I mostly did this one for the G&L mardi gras. But then it really grew on me. The point is hair stylist didn't go into hair dressing because they wanted ever second person to say "Blonde streaks" or a guy to be like "Yeah shave #2" and think it's hella cool lol. Ya know, I feel like I'm giving back to the hairstyling community LOL! j/k

Oh, yes. he is definitely a threat to society with that hair. Who's that he's next to? His mommy. Oh, my. He is definitely a Fascist in the making. :rolleyes:

Sitting my exams last year, I was wearing a red hoodie -and was told to remove it because apparently red is "psychologically disruptive" to students sitting exams.

Ooh go me, well mr red hair is tired. I'm taking my flaming locks to bed. Unless for some reason it's psychologically disruptive and I'm torn between sleep or looking into the distractive void of read hair OOOOH!!!! RUN FOR THE HILLS COLOUR IN HAIR IS COMING!!!!

:D

Sleep? Shouldn't you have been tobedalong time go? :confused:

It's not really the color that they think is offensive, it's the nonconformity.

Yeah, because instead of having the same hair as the preppy kids he has the same hair as all the goth kids. WAY nonconforming.

Actually, and you're probably not going to believe this, but I think it looks pretty kewl. The contrast between your hair colour and your eye colour is rather startling. :)

Part of the fun of being your age is the opportunity to experiment with different lifestyles, different behaviours, different social groups, and yes, different hairstyles and colours.

I suspect that someone ( or some ones ) in your school's administration feels that the colour might be distracting to other students, and/or they associate "strangely" coloured hair with some unsavory elements of society.

My recommendation: play along until Summer break. Change your hair colour to something less ... distinctive, then change it to whatever you like after school lets out. Yes, your right to colour your hair is important, but your schooling at this point in time is more important. It's not worth the aggravation.

Yep, that sounds about right. I am so happy I am out of public schools, and into the real world. As one of my favorite qoutes go "I'm a adult, I can buy my own insurance and everything". Seriously though, my old school used to play this kind of chickenshit all the time.

For Christ's sake, it's just hair - is it really worth it?

:eek: What the hell is wrong with you!?!

Your hair looks cool, for a start. I had mine a similar colour for awhile (A bit less intense), and I also had a peroxide mohawk, and I had teal hair as well. The teachers commented plenty, but nobody threatened me with suspension or anything - but it was distracting for other kids, I can tell you that. Oh, and I had one half of my head shaved once, too.

I dunno. Personally I'd do whatever I liked, but I woulda had the backing of my mom, which would have been very useful. Still, I'd say fight them, myself, because it's not about hair color, it's about non-conformity and how terrible they think it is.

Read the policy manual closely. Only perform the following if there is no specific rule agianst them.

Idea 1) Trim your hair very close. Have a friend use a razor to shave the words 'NOT RED' in your hair.

Idea 2) Dye your hair natural colors. Plural. Some natural blonde, red, dark and light brunette.

Idea 3) Buy many many (50 or more) cans of temporary spray dye for hair. Hand them out on a monday and ask everyone to use them liberally all week. Even better, sell thm at a loss for $1 and give the money to charity, make it a statement for people to show they care.

You evil satanist anarchist! Repent damn you, repent!
Seriuosly, your just exercising your freedom of speech.

I dyed my hair red when my daughter was four. She looked at me worriedly for a little while, but then said: "Well, I suppose the mother isn't in the hair!" :) Schools should have that policy, too. "Remember, the student isn't in the hair!" (Btw my daughter's math teacher had bright blue hair. And my son's math teacher's name is Georg Bush! :D )

Wow. Your hair is hot. Props for that. I have had bright pink hair on and off for the last 3 years. In between the pink it's been yellow and blue and red and orange and every color except green. I've also had lots of different hair styles including mohawks.

I say fight it until you can't fight it anymore. I wouldn't sacrifice important educational opportunities for hair but I would fight for my right to have it. Luckily, I've never encountered a single problem with it but I went to a public school with almost no rules followed by homeschooling followed by going to a fairly liberal university that could care less what I look like.

*raises fist in the air*power to your hair*takes fist down*

Oh yeah, tell them color brings happiness to the world.

Could be worse, at my school there trying to force me to get mine cut, they recon it's a health hazard.

Well, they have a point. Your hair is distractingly hot, and will likely cause a diversion which might threaten other students learning/testing process.

Aww spanks for the hair props everyone! Your probably right, a lighter shade won't matter I guess.

I live in the burbs right, and I go to the city to visit, and when I get back I feel like I'm a visitor. Surburbian people are just messed up sometimes. My suburb is rather famous in sydney. It's called the sutherland shire nicknamed The Shire. There is one bridge in and one bridge out, people sometimes joke what would happen if that bridge burnt down, the thing is I don't think the people would care. It's like Emma's Highbury society (told you I was going into mid-terms ha) and how Emma is quite sure it is just how the world works.

Growup who cares about your hair, your education is more important, so get ya prioritys in order and just cop it, after school you can make your little stand if you want to.

i would reverse that.

who cares what a bunch of would-be fascists who couldn't make it to any positions of power above school administration say? so yeah, keep your priorities in order - with following stupid rules ranking somewhere near the bottom.

Sitting my exams last year, I was wearing a red hoodie -and was told to remove it because apparently red is "psychologically disruptive" to students sitting exams.

this is quite probably true. but that really just says a lot about the validity of testing as a measure of much of anything.

FFS its just school you goose, why put the big facist spin on anything thats authoritarian, be thankful your getting something provided, that alot of unfortunates in the world can only dream about, if it was up to me the silly bitch would be marched to the front of classroom and dry shaved.

Ha, I'm homeschooled, so I don't have to conform to the LAME-ass "Rules of Student Content" the public school system used to force on me. I've dyed my hair BLUE! Take that, society! :p :D

FFS its just school

precisely. i just take that to mean that the school should get over itself, not the other way around.

Actually you don't seem to see that education lies not in prohibiting a change of appearance that cannot, under any circumstances, be considered harmful or offensive in any way :)

Ejacayshun should be strictly about the three R's only like it used to be, readin, ritin, an rithmetic!
All the rest should be in ya own spare time.
Also that would cut school down to three hours aday also, and you would be out of the garbage by the time you were 15, then if you want to studty somethin else, you can go to college, and grow whateva hair you bloody like.

Why should it, they make the rules up not this one, man if shes so worried about making a big issue of her hair colour, then there musnt be much underneath it.
Shitsake just study and get agood grade, and just do what the teachers say, theres plenty of boring no end jobs out there after school, if you fail.

Sorry its the chocolate.

in my school there were loads of rules about hair...

not allowed to be too long
not allowed to be too short
not allowed to be dyed
not allowed to be layered

couldnt do anything about it, we agreed to the rules when we joined...

Why should it, they make the rules up not this one

because all rules that do not serve an obvious and vital purpose ought be questioned and, if found wanting, disobeyed. rules do not exist for themselves.

we spend far too much of our lives obeying the arbitrary rules and commands of our alleged superiors. well, fuck them. no gods, no masters.

We all had bowl cuts, girls too.

Well your not very nice are you.

For one, I'm a guy, jeez nice start buddy. You not very attentive are you, or you just don't check the start of threads. Two I get the top marks in the grade. Three, I am in two state groups for dance and theatre. I am doing 5 major works where so far all my process assessments have been in the top 5 marks of the highest mark or were themselves the highest mark so don't bs me around with that little box saying "well he's trying to express himself, looks like he won't have any success in life." Get the hell over yourself, I'm not making a public stand here, I'm just asking why colour is taken so badly by oldies and conservatives.

Would you rather I just sat around talking about Edgar Allen Poe being miserable? Oh no wait maybe we should talk about the stock market? That has nice shades of grey on the buildings, joy now I'm boring I'll have a great life!

For christ sake why do you have to be such a cow just because someone says something that doesn't DIRECTLY apply to you?

the what now?

the mormon universities that are a blight upon the world.

Thats actually kinda cool, that look.

IMHO, I would say fight this. First, know the school/school district/province/etc. rules like the back of you're hand, and make sure they didn't just make this up. If they do have some basis for this arbitrary facism, here are some tips -

Start by trying to talk this out and reason with the administration at your particular school. Then if that doesn't work, move up the ladder and go to the school district. Trust me when I say it will help you immensely to have you're parents' support during this process. Nothing greases the wheels of the school system like pissed off parents.

Can't or don't want to work with the administration... go populist. Start a petition among the students and/or parents to allow freedom of expression via hairstyle. Perhaps even contact an organization concerned with civil rights. In America it is called the American Civil Liberties Union. Any organisation like that can raise Cain and bring significant awareness to an issue.

Don't forget that this is not just about your hair. This is about liberty. The battle against authoritarianism and conservatism requires constant vigilance. One must never ignore these little chippings away at liberty, because if one just brushes them off, they will soon find their basic rights stolen right out from under their noses.

ah right

my friend, evil connor, went to brigham young. him being evil connor, he didn't last too long. they expelled him within the first year. and his parents, being mormons, kicked him out of their lives over it.

On friday I used black mail. That worked to, I said "If I can't have my hair like this and express myself then I may have to reconsider my position representing this school to the state (mind you I am basically the spokesperson for the schools performing arts doing interviews on Aussie TV all this week.) If you live in Aus check out SBS School Torque. I'll be on having a bitch.

heh...my school didnt expell people, just suspended them or gave you a detention...which was at 9am on a Saturday morning, sitting around in a cold room for an hour and a half...

i had plenty of those

Some oppresion can be good...The beatings....I think that says enough. If you need oppresion it seems more like your the one with the dead end job. And since you couldn't figure out I was a guy, well who knows. And answer my other post to you up the page.

I am doing 5 major works where so far all my process assessments have been in the top 5 marks of the highest mark or were themselves the highest mark so don't bs me around with that little box saying "well he's trying to express himself, looks like he won't have any success in life." Get the hell over yourself, I'm not making a public stand here, I'm just asking why colour is taken so badly by oldies and conservatives.
Would you rather I just sat around talking about Edgar Allen Poe being miserable? Oh no wait maybe we should talk about the stock market? That has nice shades of grey on the buildings, joy now I'm boring I'll have a great life!
For christ sake why do you have to be such a cow just because someone says something that doesn't DIRECTLY apply to you?

Im plenty nice, and good for you that your goin allright at school etc, but if your going to jepodise that over something as trivial as hair colour, then you need to get your prioritys straight, no ones going to think any less of you if you do what the teachers say about this, hell they might even admire you for swallowing ya pride.
Sorry about thinking you were a girl, I guess your name threw me off.

my friend, evil connor, went to brigham young. him being evil connor, he didn't last too long. they expelled him within the first year. and his parents, being mormons, kicked him out of their lives over it.
Is his first name actually Evil?
Because that would be super awesome.

The thing is, this is an unjust rule. Why should someone not stand up against something unjust?

Some oppresion can be good...The beatings....I think that says enough. If you need oppresion it seems more like your the one with the dead end job. And since you couldn't figure out I was a guy, well who knows. And answer my other post to you up the page.

Oh for FS it was a joke, we got caned sometimes, thats what I meant by beatings, yeah I ve got a deadend job, so what, someone has to do them.

Did you even look at the picture? I'm not that feminine lol.

I doubt I'd be admired anyhow, but (I've always wanted to say this) it's the principles of the matter. The fact that the maths department and the deputy principle want to suspend me and the english and art department want to marry me, I mean when did a chemical reaction in hair start causing such an uproar. Like sure it's nice when someone says "hey that's cool" but I don't even think about it now, so why is my hair so important to other people?

Its school.. Ok not some evil dictatorship, you kids think you got it so hard with school these days, your just a pack of pampered spoilt little brats, you guys wouldnt have lasted one day at school in the seventys and eighties, way way too much attitude.
First caning you got would probably have traumatised you for life, your way too soft now, anytime you get a problem you run off crying to a counciller instead of developing some character and relying on your self.

I don't really care what it used to be like. I care what it should be like.
Taking away someone's education due to hair color is frankly idiotic. I don't really care if it's something that can easily be changed, it is unjust.

And I am quite sure I would have lasted in the seventies and eighties, as you have not lived any of my life, and know nothing of my history. You don't know how many times I've gotten the shit kicked out of me, or been taken out of school just because whim of some higher-up. You don't know the problems I have had.

You are actually, its probably the red hair, dont take any offence, afew mates of mine are effeminent lookin and I dont think any less of them, its whats inside that counts.

Your hair colour goes against the school curicculum, your there to learn, not to make a statement, why should your view overide the schools, just learn GN, thats whats most important.

Is his first name actually Evil?
Because that would be super awesome.

alas, it was not.

the name actually exists because of me. my name, like aproximately a third of all boys born in the u.s. in the late 70s and early 80s, is matt. by the summer before my junior year in high school, i'd gotten sick of it. so when school started that year and the teachers asked if i wanted to be called matt or matthew, i told them that i was going by connor - i had never met a connor in my life at that point. and everything went great (though this girl i'd known since i was 5 decided that if i was going to change my name, she was gonna call me 'rick james' instead).

until the second semester.

when connor moved to town.

and wound up in over half of my classes.

bastard foiled my plans entirely. so he was obviously evil. and he called me phoney. my nickname for him stuck, while mine went away as i reverted back to matt (or *surname deleted*).

Like sure it's nice when someone says "hey that's cool" but I don't even think about it now, so why is my hair so important to other people?

don't know, but it does make things interesting. i once broke some amish kids back when i had my mohawk. like the stop walking, jaw on the floor, staring for several minutes kind of broken.

Look the whole point of this board was asking why do people like you think I am making a statement just for having red.

And no offence, I'm a out and out homo so I know I act like a girl lol. (god and just to be safe with you, no I'm not making a statement with that either...)

don't know, but it does make things interesting. i once broke some amish kids back when i had my mohawk. like the stop walking, jaw on the floor, staring for several minutes kind of broken.
Your saying your moehawk caused that? WHy on earth did you do a thing like that.

That reminds me of a rather amusing tale about chemistry class:

Teach says :(no I don't have a caps addiction; just teach yelling) ALLRIGHT CLASS! TODAY WE"RE DOING AN EXPERIMENT THAT INVOLVES FIRE! FIRE IS FUN BUT DANGEROUS! I WANT ALL YOU LADIES TO TIE YOUR HAIR BACK!
Oh, and you, Marc, I want you to take that tie off.. and tie your hair back. It's a fire hazard.

And so, I had to tie my hair in a ponytail ATOP my head .. ludicrus!

So going into tests now, I'm informed that if my hair colour doesn't fade within 2 weeks I will be threatened with suspension.

http://img76.exs.cx/img76/1039/yay5jn.jpg

Honestly, it's not that bad. Though apparently it is 'offensive' and 'makes me seem anti-social'. It makes people smile to see a bit of colour doesn't it? So a question, when did colour become offensive? If not a time, then a reason.
Why do people do things to themselves like this, or tatoos, or piercings to get attention, then complain when they get attention. Why are you surprised by the threat? :rolleyes:

It's questioning the type of attention you get, I'm questioning why you get attention at all. Can no one be post-modern around here for even a minute lol.

Why do people do things to themselves like this, or tatoos, or piercings to get attention, then complain when they get attention. Why are you surprised by the threat? :rolleyes:

assumes its done for attention (rather than just aesthetic reasons), and assumes all attention is the same. even assuming that people dye their hair and get tattoos to get attention, there is no reason to expect them not to complain when some bastard is so stuck in their outdated ideas of conformity that they threaten punishment upon them

Ooh its the good old days. Go on, go get some cida and churn the milk, old man. You are a grumpy, forgotten old man. Character, yeah we sure haven't got character do we mate?

What it should be like?And whats that?
Some fantasy utopia where you do whateva you like with no frear of retribution probably.
If you get the shit kicked out of you alot, then my advice is too start defending yourself alittle better, once your down on the ground your arse is grass, get some backbone for FS.

Not if it means ending up being like your-self.

You could do alot worst ya egotistical wanka, do ten years out of mommys arms, looking after yourself actually not relyin on anyone to clothe house and feed you, then start preaching about how great you think you are.

:) Then you clearly don't know me. Who's preaching, I was just saying I don't want to end up so wrapped up in myself that I have to revert to "In my day..." tactics. I haven't relied on my parents for quite sometime. I have a fantastic job and clearly am alot friendlier and outgoing then yourself.

Plenty nice, aren't you. Does my ability to not explode and be derogatory from the word go theaten you because that's all you have as an argument? Funny, you never even tried to answer the question at all really. You came here to...wait a minute PREACH.

You will, when I was a youngsta, I got the same stuff from all the oldies too, and they told me they copped it when they were kids, whats amusing is why your so certain your going to be different, come back here in twenty years and you will be preaching too.
So what if Im not as nice and outgoing as you, I ve probably got deeper traits than your superficial bullshit, keep up the plastic smile turdster :)

I think you've explained yourself quite perfectly. A man who shamelessly repeats histories mistakes. You have no depth sir, you present yourself without any need or desire for that matter to interest anyone in finding more about your horrid, rude, old self. I don't smile if I don't feel the need, but I am now, looking at how sad you are.

I say shave your head, then get something really, really offensive tattooed onto your scalp. See how fast they want your nice, disruptive red hair back.

The thing is, upon enrolling in the school you are agreeing to abide by their rules and regulations. If one of the rules is non-dyed hair, then you are delibrately breaking that rule by dying your hair. So really you can't complain when they tell you have to get rid of the colouring, regardless of whether you think it's a silly rule or not. If you feel so strongly about it, you should have first challenged the rule before dying your hair. You are in a way thumbing your nose at the school and it's teachers, which is a great way of getting their back up and making sure they won't let you keep your dyed hair.

Schools generally think of their uniform/appearance regulations as being akin to the rules/regs you are likely to encounter when working.
If you were in a job which explicitly stated you couldn't dye your hair - and then you did, you would be given a written warning and told to change it back or be fired. And I doubt you'd be complaining so bitterly about it. The school is simply following a similar logic.
While it may seem petty to enforce this rule, if the school didn't then it's setting a precedent for itself where other, more 'important' rules can then be challenged.

Just wait til Uiversity. Then you can do what you like.


Sitting my exams last year, I was wearing a red hoodie -and was told to remove it because apparently red is "psychologically disruptive" to students sitting exams.
Really they should have asked you to take the hoodie off so they could check to make sure that it really was you sitting the exam.

I say shave your head, then get something really, really offensive tattooed onto your scalp. See how fast they want your nice, disruptive red hair back.

That would be fucking brilliant, man. I'd pay to see the expressions on the faces of the faculty and teachers!

SO what's your opinion on why colour is frowned upon by conservatives and some oldies?

Schools generally think of their uniform/appearance regulations as being akin to the rules/regs you are likely to encounter when working.

i would. petty tyranny is petty tyranny no matter who issues the orders. to quote bob black,

"Work makes a mockery of freedom. The official line is that we all have rights and live in a democracy. Other unfortunates who aren’t free like we are have to live in police states. These victims obey orders or-else, no matter how arbitrary. The authorities keep them under regular surveillance. State bureaucrats control even the smaller details of everyday life. The officials who push them around are answerable only to higher-ups, public or private. Either way, dissent and disobedience are punished. Informers report regularly to the authorities. All this is supposed to be a very bad thing.

And so it is, although it is nothing but a description of the modern workplace. The liberals and conservatives and libertarians who lament totalitarianism are phonies and hypocrites. There is more freedom in any moderately de-Stalinized dictatorship than there is in the ordinary American workplace. You find the same sort of hierarchy and discipline in an office or factory as you do in a prison or a monastery. In fact, as Foucault and others have shown, prisons and factories came in at about the same time, and their operators consciously borrowed from each other’s control techniques. A worker is a part-time slave. The boss says when to show up, when to leave, and what to do in the meantime. He tells you how much work to do and how fast. He is free to carry his control to humiliating extremes, regulating, if he feels like it, the clothes you wear or how often you go to the bathroom. With a few exceptions he can fire you for any reason, or no reason. He has you spied on by snitches and supervisors, he amasses a dossier on every employee. Talking back is called 'insubordination,' just as if a worker is a naughty child, and it not only gets you fired, it disqualifies you for unemployment compensation."

stupid, arbitrary orders ought never be issued or followed. not even if you previously nominally agreed to them.

LoL I really only say mate when I'm talking to straight guys and only when I'm angry. Ick, can't beleive you caught me out. But you gotta admit that guys not too nice.

Oh, I'd admit that. Still, most Americans don't say mate unless their talking about sex, animals, or the Discovery channel. Why would only call a straight guy mate? :confused:

EDIT: Perhaps if you replied to my tg, I'd know the answer to that question.

(You can go straight to the two last full-size paragraphs if you like.)

Well, now that you've gone through eight pages of dealing with "kids these days" nitwits*, you might be in the mindset where you'll grasp what I'm about to say... Throw someone in power a bone. You should always choose your battles wisely, and if you can't try your damndest to choose your battlegrounds.

Once upon a time, I rebelled openly, and went head-to-head with authority, letting them choose the battles and the battle grounds. This worked out only so well- When someone has absolute authority over you, ya get screwed whenever you lose and you get screwed HARD when you win. Schools and small businesses, by and large, have "discipline" departments staffed by mafia rejects- they just want to justify their existence by exercising power in the tiny slice of life they can control.

Then cynicism and apathy set in and I still did what I liked, but just refused to fight at all. This got me into absolutely zero trouble, but it still turned out worse. No fun involved, though you can look back and laugh at how hard they're trying to make you sore so you'll drop any advantage they might give you, and how quickly they go into paranoia and shouting when you just respond politely. I still don't recommend this.

After a bit, experience overrode the cynicism, and I started to try and look like I was following the rules. I, of course, ignored them and did whatever I liked in ways that don't call attention to themselves, and was usually perfectly honest whenever asked**, but I would at least say "let's go to the bathroom for a sec" rather than pour something from my cell-phone shaped flask in the middle of the hallway, and I used a cell-phone shaped one rather than something that looks out of place in a school.

When I got called on it, I went to highest authority before my accuser- They're petty, pathetic people who hoard their power, and they like people to acknowledge their authority, so whoever talks to them first puts the other on the defensive. This is doubly true for secretaries- they're easiest to make friends with, they have connections, and (whether they know it or not) they wield exactly as much power as whoever they're assisting. More importantly, once someone starts to rely on a secretary, they can't do jack without 'em.

Also, there are two basic kinds of goons in discipline- the rule nazis and the bullies. Rule Nazis take any excuse to imagine some offense and refuse to let you out of their sight/talk to someone else until they punish you. When they're beaten (Stall until someone else tries to talk to him/you, by giving ground everywhere except where they want you to), they will demand some kind of token victory- they refuse to admit they weren't right in any situation, even when they're clearly disconnected to reality, and they just don't back down. When you win against these guys, take a slap on the wrist or you'll make an enemy for life. The Bullies just make up rules, on the spot, with no basis, and hope everyone's too afraid to question them. When you beat them (ask a secretary, she'll phone their boss and ask about the "new rule"), the problem "never occured" and is never mentioned again. Learn the difference between the basic goons, learn whose authority you can wield, and you'll never have any trouble again.

*Happiness is a rare enough thing in this world- they probably have nothing else to make them happy than believing themselves your moral superior, for whatever reason they like to imagine. You're welcome to do whatever you like, just keep in mind -pity and compassion are strong virtues.

**When you know they just want an excuse to bust you, respond with something that no-one would possibly think to make up, but is not expressly verboten. Blushing while "admitting to" not-excessive homosexual romance is good for my example, because if heteros can do it in the open, at least you're courteous enough to do it in the privacy of a bathroom. As in, lawsuit city.

As for depth, compared to a shallow sycophant like yerself Im the Pacific ocean baby, your so plastic and see through, you should be a throwaway dinner plate mate.
Oh and you still havent explained what happenned to that ugly snoz of yours, did someone baseball bat it out of sheer rage and frustration, good one if they did, Id like to shake his hand.

Well I'm glad you're observant enough to answer that for yourself. From what I read, you didn't answer any question. You just called him all of these false things. You accused him of being egotistical because he started a thread. Guess what, people draw attention to themselves by starting threads of all kinds. That's how threads are made people start them. :rolleyes:

lol.

All of that is OH&S stuff (Occupational Health and Safety), and it's their a**es if they don't say that and something goes wrong.

'Twas never like that at my school though (well, not as far as I know. Nobody in my classes ever had particularly long hair). Were definitely some nice girls though... :)

And I never went long (although I now have a bit of a beard going... couldn't find my shaver, and am now waiting 'till I get a haircut).

Just how it is I guess. You sad man.

I suppose from what you've shown me of yourself life has already gotten any revenge I might've looked to take.

I think your a genius. This is the best conclusion I can think of for this board lol.I'm not a genius- I only learned this much by screwing up and figuring out why it didn't work.

Now, in response to this... You sad man.

I suppose from what you've shown me of yourself life has already gotten any revenge I might've looked to take....coming right after a mod steps in for flaming...

I wouldn't take this advice myself, but I'd be stupid to ignore me- The first and last rules of dominance are "Only use your power at the right time." The rest of the rules are when it is right. You've already won, and everyone knows it, but a higher power is watching. Don't add insult to injury- it's a risk there's no reason to take.

I quite like the colour of your hair...

You are not alone, at an Australian school in Sydney they suspended a student for getting a hair cut that was not a college cut. They will only accept people with a college cut, nothing else. Don't even think about a colour! :eek:

That's ridiculous! Fucking ridiculous!!

I have had so many different colours in my hair over the years I must have offended millions. I started with green in 1975 and now it's red,black and white (that's the only natural colour) sighs! So in case your math is bad I'm 43 I got tattoo for my 40th and I don't care what people think about my hair. School is designed to regiment you to the norm of society not to individual artistic statements with your hair or body. So if the norm of your society say's no colour I say stuff the norm (sorry Norm) :D

You can be my fairy modfather.Just goes to show- if you're a good fairy long enough, then you get to be someone's fairy.

Hah, gutless keyboard wonder, as if you would even seriously try to take revenge, go colour your hair another colour you stupid weak twat.
