Did they show you this video in High School?

[Kenni-chan]

Not untill today. But we have a dress code anywayz, and well, it's stabbings in scotland not shootings

 

[conchshellthegeek7]

I've never seen it before. However, I'd have to agree with McNinja in his assessment that:

There is no way you can stick a full length shotgun down your pants, much less all of those weapons, without walking in an extremely strange and attention grabbing manner.

 

[GundamSentinel]

I've seen Bowling for Columbine, so yes. In my country there is no problem with gun control as nobody has a gun, so no, I wasn't shown anything of the kind at school and I could wear pants as baggy as I wished them.

Spoiler: That guy could get a job, I wonder what as...?

OT: I haven't seen that before, but that's because I'm English and had to wear school uniform from year one all through to the end of sixth form. Also, English 'Gangsters' use knives.

Our dress code is two fold, both parts of which are stupid.

First, no hats. I know you're mad about getting killed by Oddjob in Goldeneye, Mr Principal, but this is real life. Hats don't kill people.

Second, we can take backpacks to school, but not around the school.

"Oh damn, I'll have to start my homicidal rampage from my locker! Better just not kill anyone then..." is what they're thinking, and frankly it makes a tiny bit of sense, but they also give you detention if you don't bring all the stuff you need to class and aren't in you're seat when the bell rings. You also get 5:30 (super hardcore detention) if you bookcheck someone, and they get so mad when it happens, like the only way to stop it is with an iron fist, rather than letting us have backpacks.

"Is that a frag grenade in your pants or are you just happy to see me?"

both

 

[ICanBreakTheseCuffs]

Holy Fuck that guy had more firepower than the average Commando! too bad no ak man i would have laughed my head off if he had that

 

[Dok Zombie]

I've seen it before somewhere, I love how ridiculous it gets, like no-one would notice the fact he couldn't bend his leg due to having a shotgun in his trousers?

And how many schoolkids do you know with Derringers?

 

[CarlsonAndPeeters]

Never seen this (mildly ridiculous) video. We had a dress code in high school, but I think that was just because I went to a preppy private school so of course we had to wear collared shirts and such.

You realize this is a two year old thread, right?

 

[rayen020]

yes, yes we did. Most of the class was on the floor by the time the uzi came out, the rest dropped when the rifle came out.

 

[Orange12345]

We did but it was part of the movie "Bowling for Columbine" we were all laughing pretty hard at that part, and just lost it when he pulled out the shotgun

 

[aba1]

Well this risk is just as much viable on the street should people not be allowed to wear clothes how they want?

 

[Johnny Impact]

Looks like that scene in Beyond Thunderdome where Max is ordered to leave his weapons -- and promptly deposits about fifty of them in the basket.

I never had to watch that video. I went to school a good decade before Columbine, in a tiny rural community. We had no dress code beyond "offensive T-shirts will not be worn, faculty decides what is offensive."

 

[LooK iTz Jinjo]

Nope, I live in Australia.

No school shootings here, no sir.

[sub]Also, we all wear uniforms anyway.[/sub]

Apart from that kid in SA who bought a loaded gun to Modbury High on Monday and fired it to show off to his mates.

But no I was never shown this video.

 

[Artina89]

Yeah I have seen the video, even though school shootings aren't common in England. They showed us the video about a week after a kid smuggled a knife into school. We had a school uniform which is common in British schools.

 

[Batou667]

So: there's a problem with kids bringing guns into school, and rather than address gun control and culture, you make your school children wear clothes in a way that minimizes the number of automatic weapons they can smuggle in? And this is seen as a satisfactory solution? Oh America, never stop being yourself.

Being British, I wore a school uniform - not to stop us bringing shotguns into school or to prevent us turning up emblazoned with gang symbols - but because it looked smart. Quaint, huh?
