Defeatist. If you just say get used to it, it won't change anything. That's what disappoints me so much. People just don't try to make a change. Saying "Get over/used to it" and that kind of crap...If you don't care, let those that care make the decisions.

I'm not helping myself because I don't want to spend more time on this argument, but I'll just say this, if everyone made an effort to socially be more open-minded and understanding and to teach younger generations how to be so and make them understand why, it would destroy your entire argument...

The whole parents argument makes sense. And essentially, it's just like this novel I read a few weeks ago. I've had a friend or two in this kind of situation.

...And eventually he will likely adapt your point of view. It's happened countless times around here, where I live, back in the 60s. I'm an immigrant from Europe, but I got around to my parents and they eventually became agnostic...Well, they're more like "I don't care", rather than "I don't...

Someone unique and "free" CAN also be useful. Your argument bears no proof that being unique makes one useless. I can just as well say being unique MAKES you useful. And I'll even provide an example. Someone is unique, he likes, say, fashion. If you're going to be employed at a clothing...

To be honest, that's the argument that's popular with students. I personally never really bother with what I wear. I already have clothes that look good on me (so I hear, at least), and I just pick them up very quickly and put them on and it looks normal. I understand it is easier for guys, but...

I don't get it. What's wrong with wearing jeans? Is it still the backwards mentality that jeans are dirty because they're made for farmers only? Jeans are not crass. They're fashion and by the way, 70 to 90 percent of students wear jeans. If that ain't a uniform in itself, I don't know what...

I'm gonna go ahead with the Brotherhood of Nod, too. :P
