School Uniforms

[Akno21]

Am I the only guy in the country who wears cargo pants? Haven't worn jeans in years..

No, I have a couple pairs, but jeans make up about 90% of the pants category from what I've seen.

True. I guess T-shirt and cargo pants falls into the "Normal" category anyhow.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Yeah, kids dress so creatively when they all wear the exact same style and fashion.

Except they don't.

I suspect the only youths Tredrick knows are the mall-type.

I teach in a low SES school.

And BRTD is right, they really wear about 5 or 6 different outfits.  But the point stands (and is a play on a semi-famous quote.)

Even if true, you can have much variation in an "outfit". For example, my "outfit" is always T-shirt and jeans. I NEVER wear anything else, except I might put a hoodie on when it's cool but not cold enough for my jacket and often leave it on inside. However my shirts are all different from others. I always wear band shirts. This is far different from wearing a shirt with Abercrombie and Fitch on it.

How is say, ten shirts with different bands on them different from ten shirts with different designs on them or ten polos with different colors, stripes, and logos?

I wear sweat pants everywhere, myself.  I don't quite know why, but I never got into jeans.

I wear both sweats, jeans and shorts. From about March - November its pretty much shorts everyday but I do like to wear long pants at work because it's so cold in there.

I wear jean, cargo pants and sweats, depending on what mood I'm in.

The thing I had about sweats is that they have no zipper and opening for when I need to take a whiz.  Jeans and cargo pants are better for that.

I also like the extra pockets that cargo pants have.  They come in handy sometimes.

I also like carpenter's jeans.

School Uniforms are detrimental to the creativity and individuality of a student. I would glady walk through the Towering Inferno in a GASOLINE SUIT to prevent them!

That is one of the most absurd things I have ever heard.  Maybe the world would be a better place if people who claim to have such a commitment to their beliefs as you claim to actually did something for a positive cause, or at least one that matters.  To be willing to effective commit suicide over school uniforms is pretty pathetic.

I doubt you're serious in any case, but the thought is just ridiculous.  This is an example of why so many people find it hard to take liberals seriously.

The fact that you believe in school uniforms makes me want to tell you to go to hell, but since I'm polite, I won't. I would not commit suicide over it you dumbass, I was just making my case of how passionately I hold this issue. In my junior year as Class President, the new principal said to the officers that he was considering uniforms, and asked us for input. I told him flatly that I would stage a walkout. He argued his case, but so did we, and he dropped the idea. Creativity and individuality mean more to me than you do dazzleman, as they do to any freedom loving individual. When I go to school, I don't wanna see everyone look the same. I wanna see polo shirts, goths, thongs, etc. I wanna enjoy my time there, not be told what to wear, and when to wear it.

Thanks for proving my point.

Yep Liberals fall for it every time. haha

Guys style:
-Jeans/Khakis with a polo/shirt (Prep)
-Some sort of skater ensemble with jeans and a hoodie/t-shirt (Skater)
-Hoodie and jeans/sweatpants (Poor)
-Polo/t-shirt/sweater and jeans (Normal)
-Wierd mix of various items, usually black (Goth)
-Wierd mix of various items (Punk)

That's not a very wide variation. I know I've seen a good number of t-shirts multiple times in a day, usually ones of bands or skate companies, occasionally a polo.

That's a pretty accurate run-down for a guy who doesn't notice such things.  But the truth is the only way to be at all 'different' in terms of clothing is to shop at thrift stores.  If you buy new, of course you're gonig to have the same shirt or trouser as a lot of other people.

I like slacks and corderoys, as well as khakis, Akno.  Cargo pants are similar to khakis, I just don't like all those pockets.  But jeans just aren't very comfortable, generally.. I need a little more room!

[Inverted Things]

Don't care.

[Alcon]

I do wish my city had a magnet school for the remotely competent, where we would be entrusted to dress ourselves (not that we currently have uniforms), stay in school ourselves, and are allowed to operate advanced electronics such as CD players without having them confiscated.

Grumble, grumble.

I'm glad to be out of HS.
