The same Algeria that has a 12.7% unemployment rate, a rising 8% inflation rate, and whose economy almost strictly relies on processing hydrocarbons?
$1.5 billion would be nice though. Based on the $5.1 trillion moved per day in 2016 according to the BIS, that will last about them about…25 and a half seconds worth of cross-border transactions on the international market!
The state shouldn’t do it, but if they are, they should be made to do it dirty and feel the consequences. Making an execution clean and easy is just find encourage lawmakers to put more people to death.
The governor should be forced to carry out the execution himself, give him incentive to pardon
Each place has its rules, follow them or gtfo. I don’t see a problem here. Schools are not fashion halls. When I was in school, we weren’t allowed long hair, any alt hair style, using gels or other materials to style our hair etc …
People here dont seem to understand the principles behind education. Black teachers, whoever needs to enforce the styles so be it, but the component of adherence to uniform presentation (without compromising human individuality and genetic differences) is a robust and important part of teaching children how to conform to society, and in some instances learn that sometimes individuality has to be sacrificed for the good of a functioning society. The racism component is nonexistent in this example if you read the backstory.
Please also remember - if I’m wrong, I’m happy to discuss or learn something. Just upvoting views that you agree with is not a productive exercise.
Hair and presentation is a largely arbitrary proxy for wider adherence to rules and societal behaviours. School uniforms are, last I checked shown to work in this regard. If you have a giant pink pile of hair to draw attention to yourself, it flies in the face of the lesson of conformity.
Who hurt you? Who hurt you so badly that you consider pink hair a threat to civilization? This kinda fetish for conformity is on a level far exceeding what a normal person should have so this must be trauma related.
Oh no! I don’t understand the premise you invented for us. Everyone get ready the fashion judge jury is here to tell the rest of us what clothing we get to wear in a democracy.
You just sound emotional here too. Would you like to discuss the issue? I don’t agree with your expressed view so far, but it doesn’t have to ruin the day.
I have asserted that uniform, and presentation conformity in a school environment is beneficial to children. Do you agree at all? Do you believe in total anarchy? Where would you draw the line?
No you have asserted that pink hair was a proxy for a breakdown in social order.
ou just sound emotional here too.
If you don’t respect emotions you still have them you just don’t know where they come from. You end up living a life where you alone have a perfect response to every situation while the people around you never match up to your standards. You think of yourself as the perfectly rational being but no one dealing with you would agree. You are never horny, she was hitting on you. You are never just in a bad mood, your coworker was driving you crazy. The emperor of never been wrong surrounded by people who whisper to each other “don’t go near that guy he will umm actually you after his tantrum”. Sound familiar doesn’t it? It should, you aren’t special.
Given that you do not respect emotions it is absolutely no surprise you do not respect the ability of people to change their haircut. An entire world refusing to bend the knee to your own greatness. Everyone must confirm to your vision or risk your ire.
You are doing exactly what you criticise me of. Your emotions are coming across like they are interfering your ability to discuss something rationally, so they are not a benefit. Emotion has it’s place, it moves everything forward in the first place, and it sits in balance with calm, measured discussion. Otherwise it just turns into a nickelodeon show of increasingly impotent one-liners, and mental acrobatics, petty personal swipes and achieving absolutely nothing at all.
For discussions sake - I assume you aren’t on this platform to hear your own opinion parroted back to you. Since you didnt reply to the other comment; do you not consider conformity a useful lesson for schools to teach, and why? At what point does individuality become separated from cultural uniqueness?
It does seem this has risen to the level of “free speech” and I suspect this student will get an education in constitutional law, as well as a fat settlement for his trouble.
If you only think in extremes of course - you could also infer order of any kind leads to nazis with that mindset, which is of course, ridiculous. There is a line for conformity, and it should be established with buy in from everyone.
They’re not doing him a favor by sending him to whatever passes for a “disciplinary alternative education program” in Texas though. Sounds like they’re trying to stick him on the fast track in the school-to-prison pipeline.
