Haircut boy gets $24k costs

[HenryDorsetCase]

Give him a job then. How many people do you currently employ ? Or are you just talking hypothetically

our current staff is six, down from 11 at our peak in 2006-7. Our roster is full at present - last new hire was October last year.

If you have nice tits and a bit of a personality we will be looking for a receptionist/coffee maker in the near-ish future. You need to be good with the customers, able to do the secretary thing, and willing to relieve my midafternoon urges. If interested shoot me a PM.

[HenryDorsetCase]

You must really enjoy being wrong, anyone else would get sick of the ridicule.

The rules aren't stupid, they're there to effect a change in adolescent behaviour to that required of an adult.

Adults that contribute positively to society, rather than themselves.

Adults that don't steal your shit.

Adults that don't rape your daughter.

Laudable aims, of course.

Please explain how dressing the kids like 1930's brownshirts, and making them march, and policing the length of their goddamn hair achieves those laudable goals. I suggest to you, Sir, that it does neither, and is more about the people imposing the rules than the ruled..

Probably. And feel free to get as pissy at the relevance or provenance of the rule as you like, but the rule itself is irrelevant, what's relevant is that you enforce it.

Because if you're not going to enforce it then there's no point in having it. And as you might have noticed, for every rule there's a whole bunch of citizens that don't believe the rule has relevance to them. Should we arsehole those rules too? Or are you going to get more specific? Are you going to just say "Oh that's OK then, as long as you genuinely think that rule doesn't apply to you personally then feel free to do whatever you like"?

I don't think so. It doesn't matter what the rules are, adolescent boys will break them, and unless you teach them otherwise they will continue to break more of them. Might be good for long term business, but I believe the general idea most have is that they don't want a nation of criminals.

[oldrider]

This whole nation is awash with redundant ridiculous rules and laws ... time for a clean out IMHO!

You have nothing to ridicule me with.

HEIL.

I do that.

I do that too.

I do that too.

I had hair longer than my shirt. Your argument, as per usual, is full of shite.

[swbarnett]

I'm sure that the likes of Ghandi, Martin Luther King and Nelson Mandela were sick of the ridicule. That didn't stop them standing up for what they believed in.

The rules aren't stupid, they're there to effect a change in adolescent behaviour to that required of an adult.

How about producing adults that can think for themselves?

Adults that contribute positively to society, rather than themselves.

How about both? What you want are conformists. I thought that as a motorcyclist you'd understand how necessary it is to have non-conformists in society.

Adults that don't steal your shit.

Anyone with a sense of right and wrong would suit this point. You don't have to be someone that blindly follows stupid rules.

Adults that don't rape your daughter.

Boy, now your really reaching. See above.

[swbarnett]

the rule itself is irrelevant, what's relevant is that you enforce it.

Tell that to any of a number of oppressed masses throughout the centuries. Nuremberg sprung immediately to mind when I read that.

[Woodman]

Um its a school, school learning is theoretical to arm the pupils with a basic understanding of stuff that they may use when they get out into the real world. The hair rule is just another theory to teach the students about how life is on the outside.

Anyway the boy is in the 1st XV, so should be able to do what the fuck he likes. Unless the world has gone topsy turvy and rugger isn't compulsory anymore.

Do you have to supply your own boat and motor and be willing to gut fish too?

Awwwwww, seriously? You didnt just say that someone who breaks a rule that pretty much everyone agrees is stupid and pointless will end up a criminal because of that? Because I think we both can agree thats just silly.


I actually do take Winston001's point about this being sort of a selfish action (in that it was about him, and his issues) but I do applaud someone who sees a ridiculous, pointless stupid rule, and then who takes a principled stand against it using the tools available to them up to and including the judicial system. And won.

And made the fascists pay. Let's not forget that.

Meh, over it now. How about that local sports team?

Sheesh that's an interesting way to show your interest in a job...Any particular PM you want shooting? What? you didn't mean that sort of PM?

[TheDemonLord]

Wow.

As others have pointed out - that is a slippery slope - normally ending in Genocide.

Like I need to.

And the fact that you never achieved adulthood is glaringly obvious.
