Nah, I like my hazel-ish eyes.
I'm perfectly content with the way I look.

I can understand wanting society to be more tolerant, but some people don't even try to live in the real world.

His priorities are out of whack and I don't agree with him on any of the stances that are at the forefront of his campaign.

« on: April 07, 2015, 06:29:06 PM »I'm not saying girls shouldn't be wearing yoga pants, I just think schools have legitimate grievances against them and it makes sense for them not to be allowed. But outside of school? Go for it.I don't really give enough shits about the whole issue to even consider demonstrating for/against it. And neither should you. It's just the choice of clothing that others want to make.You should write to the school board about it.No they wouldn't. My school had tons of women who were wearing extremely skimpy clothing, and I wasn't even remotely distracted by that.See-through leggings would clearly be a distraction.So what?Basically yoga pants turned into leggings which turned into see-through leggings.If it breaks the school dress code then it doesn't matter. The whole yoga pants fad has proven to be distracting and a slippery slope It makes sense for the school to have banned them. This has nothing to do with "body shaming".A slippery slope? The hell?
At my old high school, girls are allowed to wear yoga pants or leggings as long as they are wearing a long shirt. So the above picture would be acceptable. But every school's dress code is different and even if you disagree with it, it should be followed. Making this a sexism issue is a reach for sure.

Serious / Re: I saw something absolutely disgusting today.
« on: April 07, 2015, 05:26:09 PM »Which nations specifically.Muslim nations?The UK Polling Report shows that back in 2006, 78pc of British Muslims polled believed that Kurt Westegaard--the Danish guy who drew pictures of Mohammed--should've been prosecuted, with 68pc thinking those who insult Islam should be prosecuted.Are there any statistics on where Muslims that migrate to Western nations tend to come from?
CBS News, also back in 2006, reported that 25pc of British Muslims supported the 7/7 bombers. And Pew has weighed in on the issue, showing that 24pc of British Muslims think suicide bombing is justified, with a further 15pc saying it is sometimes justified. Worryingly, this rises to 35pc and 19pc for Muslims aged 18-29. That's 54pc of 18-29yo Muslims who feel that suicide bombing is at least sometimes justified.
Civitas tell us that 33pc of Muslims believe apostates should be killed, and 28pc want Britain to be an Islamic state. And a different Pew study showed that just 7pc of Muslims in Britain think of themselves as British first, with 81pc explicitly thinking of themselves as Muslim first.

Folks are all spazzing out at the debt from fear mongering politicians (mostly republicans) and there's just isn't that much to be worrying about.I don't understand, is the US just not going to pay it's debts?? Surely they need the funds from somewhere to pay it off. Elaborate pls

Sounds like a good idea.It would definitely help mitigate the constant Googling to counter a new argument, giving a more honest picture of a debater's knowledge.This is a bad thing? I would think you'd want your competitor to have credible information for a more compelling debate.
They're supposed to do research beforehand. Being able to look up information during the debate eliminates the need for much preparation.
