The only place yoga pants and other workout attire should be worn at school is in gym class.

Aside from the obvious, he also wasn't born in America.
But his mother was a US citizen, which makes him a US citizen. Which I find funny that they're using that distinction, since so many people went after Obama. Using the definition that Cruz is using, Obama would be a natural citizen even if we was born in Kenya [which he wasn't]

And instead of banning yoga pants and leggings because idiots want to walk around without pants on, why don't they just... you know, ban tights?
Because they don't want to argue with every stupid high schooler that will try to challenge it.
Exactly. It would be such a waste of time to try to differentiate between them. Some leggings are very opaque. Some yoga pants can be pretty thin. Better just axe them all.

Yeah...I don't believe you.

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".
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.
A slippery slope? The hell?
Basically yoga pants turned into leggings which turned into see-through leggings.
So what?
That's not appropriate attire for school.

Man, I can't tell you the last time I actually got to sit down in front of my TV and play video games with no distractions.
Neither can I. Yay adulthood!

It's really easy to look up the school's dress code policy on their website, if we knew what the school was. That would put this to rest really quickly.
It's not really about the school's policy -- I think they were wrong in sending her home. It's about the validity of claiming dress codes are misogynist and if we create our social rules with inherent bias against either sex.
Well there's plenty of things that guys can't wear, either. It's become acceptable for school-aged girls to wear absurdly tight and/or revealing clothes, which is, in fact, a distraction. Agree or disagree with the rule, yoga pants fall into that category. Are yoga pants legitimate exercise attire? Yes. Are they comfortable? Yes. Do they show off your butt and legs? Yes, and that's the point of contention. If we really want to have the discussion about dress codes being misogynist, we really need to address the point within our society with how women dress, not within the school itself.

To the surprise of literally nobody
didn't think the turn-around time would be this quick, though. Curious who picks them up to do the show, too.
Anyone who wants money, the BBC know it, theyve lost a lot f cash
*sips tea*
I really prefer Netflix picks them up because it would make it really easy for the US audience to watch the show, as opposed to spoofing my region to watch it on BBC's iPlayer.

Pretty much. 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
Historically the debt has spiked during times of war (like now) and then lowers during times peace or less military involvement.
I'm more concerned about that "projected" bit at the end there...

Taxes are too damn high.
We can't claim that taxes are too high while simultaneously complaining about the government's debt. Taxes are their sources of revenue, and taxes are almost historically low right now.
I don't give a fuck about the debt and you shouldn't either.
I'd love to not give a shit about the debt. Why shouldn't I? Honest question.
It has no impact on the country's economy in such a way that actually hinders growth and prosperity. America can have a strong economy and steep debt.
So I have just fallen victim to the red herring of being worried about the debt, is all?

Makes sense. I guess that leads me to the question of why bothering with a budget at all if there's no cons to running up the debt.

I support a minimum wage because I don't trust companies to pay their employees a reasonable wage. It's in their best interests to pay employees as little as possible.
No it's not. It's in their best interest to satisfy consumers. A workforce that can barely support itself directly affects customer satisfaction, especially if the workforce is engaging with the customer upfront.
Well, their best interest is maximizing profits. That comes from paying employees as little as possible while still providing an acceptable amount of service to customers.

There's literally no reason that the US should pay back its debt. Ever. Like, the US has zero incentive to give a single shit about that debt.
That..doesn't really clear anything up. Would paying off a good portion of our debt not have a significant benefit?
It would not. Which is why the US has no reason to pay off its debt.
... but why. That's what I'm trying to understand.

Relevant question: when you people say that minimum wage should be a livable wage, do you mean I should be able to be fully employed at the minimum wage, own my own apartment, live by myself, and not have my income subsidized by welfare/ebt?
Own your own apartment? No. You should be able to pay rent somewhere.

Which isn't true, since everybody selling their own labour would be on the minimum wage. . .
Forgive my economic ignorance, but this sentence just doesn't make any sense to me. Selling their own labor?

Hell, some friends of mine are renting small apartment for TWO THOUSAND dollars per month. That's 250 hours of working just to pay for apartment rent. Say nothing about food, electricity, transportation, etc.
If your apartment rent doubles a typical mortgage payment, it's time to get the fuck out of wherever you're living.
Depends entirely on where you're living. Even in the shittiest parts of Orange County, I'm looking at at least $1250/mo for a shitty studio apartment with bars on the windows and street parking only.

I've never run into a "college communist " in any of the college campuses I've been to.
You sure this isn't more "colleges are liberal indoctrination camps" propaganda?
You've never been to any SoCal colleges or heard of them apparently. "College communists" down here are a dime a dozen. It seems like its the cool thing to be a communist moron when you're young, until you grow up and realize how stupid it is to be and support communism.
Really? This must be a very recent thing because I didn't encounter this at CSULB. There was one random dude that went on a rant about Hillary Clinton being a cunt in one of my political science classes, but that was about it. If they were out there, they weren't vocal about it.

But on the other hand, the majority of employees make above minimum wage.
And it's worth noting that this majority is 96% of the US workforce making more than the federal minimum wage.
That's because the federal minimum wage is pathetic. $7.50, I think? It hasn't increased since 2009. You could get paid $7.75/hr, qualify as "above minimum wage", but still be fucked because that's $16k before taxes.
