What I was trying to point out was that when everyone has to wear exactly the same thing, this situation would never even have occured.

Yes, that was clear, but they would have found some other way to piss off Asst Principal Miguel Rodriguez .

Aliantha · 05-11-2010, 09:47 PM

Oh undoubtedly.

That's what teenage boys do.

Bwahahahaha @xob - you really are an s.o.b.

I'm impressed that so many of you in this thread know exactly what all of the participants were thinking and what they would do in the future. Congratulations to you all for you astounding perception qualities. People who were involved in the situation obviously lack your mad skillz.

xoxoxoBruce · 05-12-2010, 08:20 AM

You're missing the point. It doesn't matter what the fuck they were thinking, it's what they did. That's all, just what happened, not why.

Bullshit. The reason and intent of all those involved matter.

I ran over your cat, but it's OK because I was bringing you a cookie.
Yeah sure, tell me about the good intentions on the way to hell.

Spexxvet · 05-12-2010, 08:34 AM

I ran over your cat, but it's ok because I was avoiding running over your daughter. Fuck you.

xoxoxoBruce · 05-12-2010, 08:39 AM

Since I have neither, then you are the fuckee.

Spexxvet · 05-12-2010, 08:40 AM

Well played, sir.

xoxoxoBruce · 05-12-2010, 08:42 AM

Thank you, I'll be here all week.

Dick Cheney shot his friend in the face. Why wasn't he charged with anything? Not sure what that has to do with the dudes wearing the flag shirts, but intent matters sometimes.

xoxoxoBruce · 05-12-2010, 08:55 AM

That's completely different, accident vs intentional. What Asst Principal Miguel Rodriguez did, was unquestionably intentional.

Intent certainly matters sometimes when it comes to freedom of speech/expression.

It falls under the "fighting words" doctrine or shouting "fire" in a crowded theater.

Would it apply here...who knows?
