The solution ... attack the perpetual attitude problem. However, in today's "I'm a victim/PC" world that ain't gonna be happenin'.


What a pity.

What if they have shorts on under their pants and not boxers? Seems to me that many boxers now are pretty much just like shorts. I don't know about you but I wouldn't be looking that close to tell.

What's with the resource officer staring at the kids butt?

Seriously it looks like crap but no skin is exposed so I'm going to have to agree with

Poe's law is an Internet adage which states that, without a clear indicator of the author's intent, parodies of extreme views will be mistaken by some readers for sincere expressions of the parodied views.

Forums are required by US law to present a prize to the first person who correctly declares a post is an intentional example of Poe's Law.

This is why the US has the highest incarceration rate in the world. Because we waste taxdollars on things like this. Reminds me of North Korea, where you are required by law to only have certain haircuts.

EDIT:

As of now, 26.98% of you are no longer allowed to ever **** and moan about high taxes again.

Many communities in TN tried the dress code and discussed uniforms but it didn't go over very well. Anyway the school does not pay to put people in jail so they aren't spending or saving any money there.
