Dress code in college. Lawl

[ethrtyiS]

try sitting in class with an anti-obama shirt. watch how fast you get kicked out of class or you get failed.

Wow man. Just wow.
Let's hope you choose not to home school your kids.

Exactly what I'm thinking, this douche that doesn't even have a degree yet wants to disrespect his professor and people who teach. This moron is real reason why after all my schooling I don't teach, because you can't fix ignorance.

I know where you're coming from, and I know you know where we are coming from. "we as the collective r3v"

Challenge accepted.

Of course I do, there's a time and place for everything. However I don't find this to be that bad of a scenario. Think about the context, I didn't wear it to my place of work, I wore it to a class filled with my peers who are (18-22) I simply don't see how it's a "distraction"- yes it's borderline inappropriate due to its suggestive vulgarity, (F*CK not FUCK) but it's not in comparison to the rest of attire worn in class. What about the high end clothing line FCUK, is that innapropriate because it's suggestive? This is Sonoma county, it's a laid back environment not Yale.

I sit next to a girl who wears a tank top that says "Eat my taco" and a guy who wears "One Big Ass Mistake America." Thaaaats chick is a distraction believe me. You guys are acting like I had an aborted fetus on my shirt at a baby shower.

Once again, missing the point.


And it does AFFECT your learning if the Prof kicks you out of class, or now thinks you're a douchenozzle and grades your work accordingly. I know I damn sure would do that, and before you complain that it's not fair- get over it, it's the way the world works.

I agree 100% with this.

I understand that you're paying money to go to college, but it should be preparing you for the world ahead. Treat it like a job, because if you don't, you won't graduate on time, and will pay a lot more. Treating others with respect, and adhering to a few social norms can go a long way in both how professors grade you, as well as how helpful they are..

[Rsully70sev]

It's been reconciled, I appologized after class and made my peace. I'm a great student, and he knows that. This wasn't the first time I've had him, I'm not worried about the whole "he's going to fail you" shit. I'll post my grade at the end of the semester lol.

Some people are taking this whole situation to far. It's entertaining to be honest. :)

OP, I'm probably the same age as you and I know those shirts are popular. Do you really feel that is appropriate for any environment or setting at all?

It's like walking around with your middle finger out 24/7. That word is offensive and that's the bottom line.

Do you also need your plain text shirt to explain to everyone around you how fresh your outfit is? If you were indeed "Fresh as f*ck" you would not need a shirt to explain itself. It's like walking around with a shirt that says, "I'm a cool trendy shirt" or "My outfit including this shirt is extremely trendy"

[Rsully70sev]

I do me. You do you

Bitches love it more than europlates haha.

Bitches love it more than europlates haha.

I would like to disagree. Where is Vlad when you need him?


OHH SNAP 2nd Vlad joke in this thread.

Mrsleeve: refer to post #64

I understand what you're saying, but I'm not getting paid to present myself in a professional manner like those who occupy a JOB.

(Noun: A paid position of regular employment.)

And what Ivy Leauge School did you go to Delatlanta?

What does any of this have to do with who is paying who? The only reason you would wear such a shirt is to get a reaction - you got it... and are still getting it.

You are the one that hasn't gotten over the word. You wore it to dare anyone to say anything so you could prove how awesome you are.

You are paying to be taught by a professional in a professional institution, so where along the line did it become OK to dress in an offensive manner? Did you personally hire your prof to teach you at home in your livingroom? No, you are paying for the privilege to learn in the environment that your prof was also hired to teach in.

This may come as a surprise, but us old farts still run things and "our" opinion is still relevant to your interests.

I'm going to continue with my shitty state school life, earn my grades with effort and hard work as I have, and aspire to be something more rewarding than a high school English teacher ;)

That IS a rewarding proffession to many individuals, and that aside, in Canada, he would be making about a $100k to do it, while having a GREAT public service pension that most people would kill for, 4 months a year off (pretty much, when spring break,Christmas, many "PD" days and summer are added in) personal days.

it is about the best thing you could ever be if you valued personal/Family time, or the ability to travel, or the flexabillity to do anything you ever wanted all while guiding the next generation to become productive members of society...But I can see how this would not be very rewarding...

sorry Chad, it must really suck to be you, perhaps you could consider a career change to being a Drug producer/ dealer.

I hear it is very rewarding.

[smooth]

You dummys.

I like where this thread is going...

[Sagaris]

I strongly suggest that everyone back off of the OP, he has friends in high places with finances that would shit on anyone here.

I smoke almost every weekend with the CFO of Hydrofarm, I can guarantee that man's finances would shit on anyone here.

Last week I ate mushrooms with the CFO of Hydrofarm at my river house and tripped balls walking through creeks and forest terrain.

LOL, knowing one "successful" (because most of those types of people are ballin on credit) person = all stoners will be billionaires.

I knew a wannabe rebel like the OP back in high school. He was me. I hated that shit and did just enough to keep "the man" off of my back while simultaneously pissing off the staff as much as possible, getting fucked up on weekends and getting as much play as possible.

Then college came, and one thing I know about the OP is he isn't spending his own money on college. Its either parents, grants or a loan but either way, in the back of his mind, he is playing with toy money. If it was his money he probably would have reacted like I did (paid my way). I started seeing it was "Im paying $5k a fucking semeseter, Id better wring every drop of value out of this shit." So while all of the other kids were having 4 years of fun I was the one at the front of the class being a kiss ass. Dont get me wrong, I did party on the weekends but I kept it sane on school nights (while other kids were rolling into class drunk or stoned).

If I ever had a kid that acted like I did in high school who made fun of or bitched about the apple polisher Id be able to tell him that I knew of one apple polisher in college who grew up in a 1000sq-ft house but was making $80k+ by 30 doing something he found interesting, speaking from experience. Also that I am kicking myself because I was friends with an apple polisher in high school and that fucker was making $150k by 30, the early bird gets the worm. And Id gladly give up a few years of being an idiot knowing that it means a few million more over my lifetime and greater stability for the next 40.

This is in Kansas City dollars too, none of that (making $60k and still qualifying for food stamps California/NYC shit). $80k in Kansas gets you into a new 3000+ sq-foot house on a half acre and a new 335 in the garage.

Totally agree Ryan. I started my career @ 21. I traveled, did what was asked, worked looong hours, traveled some more. I am where I am today with the option to do whatever, whenever. I live in a house I chose, in a city I love, near friends I hold dear. I spend/ save my money on my terms.
While conforming isn't the coolest thing in the world to most, I listened to my dad years ago when it came to work. I ditched the big skater jeans, the wallet chain, the earrings, the skater haircut, and went to work.
It paid off. I thank him every day for telling me to stop the "people should respect me for what's inside not outside" speech.
