I didn't wear the cap backwards like some moron, I didn't have my jeans hanging off the crack of my ass, my t-shirt wasn't some diesgn saying smoke pot or 30 sizes to big, and lastly I was clean shaven or had a neatly trimmed beard and I always had a clean proper hair cut.

Every Wensday I wore my US Army JROTC Uniform. Wensdays were JROTC Uniform inspection day. On that day, I was always clean shaven and had a clean hair cut.

Today's youth needs a good swift kick in the ass and needs to settle down. I think I'm to mature for my damn age. I'm only 22.

Need I show you my school picture? Im wearing a button-down shirt, and IRONED jeans. With a shell necklace to add that preppy factor. haha..But anyway, I get a number one buzz on the sides, a number 2 on the top. Im clean, I also have a goatee, but its clean. My T-shirt size is Medium, large if I feel like dressing down. My pants get stapled to my boxers if they are found saggy, and my shirt gets tucked in if its too long. Sorry, I just found the "kid" generalization a little, well, general.And stereotypical.

Ditto man.

The most common things for guys at our school to wear are either button downs or polos.

Today was the first day of school.

I was clean shaven, wearing a Izod polo with a cotton undershirt and a pair of tan cargo pants with some no show socks and a pair of clean white tennis shoes.

See...Its not all about thug-life and how much skin you can show without being sent home...Most of us still retain decency.

What Luis said, times two.

And Ill say what I said...

The only positive reason I have ever heard for instituting a dress code is so that kids from less welloff families will not be made fun of if their clothes aren't the "hip new thing." Now, having said that I would like to say that even that reason is a load of crap because 95% of all dress codes involve buying polo shirts and/or dress pants, which are more expensive than a plain t-shirt, shooting that theory to hell and gone. If schools are going to tell kids they can only wear certain clothes they first better A.) Supply the students with said clothes B.) Buy 5 pairs of those school uniforms so that the kids' parents don't have to was them four times a week C.) They better not raise the local property taxes one cent, schools have better things to be spending money on than uniforms (school uniforms is step number two on my Roadmap to Communism). Now, about the "thugs and whores" comment, all I have to say is "Fubu". It's a cultural thing.

As for baggy jeans, I honestly don't know what they are talking about, baggy is on the way out, clothes that fit are back in, this must be a very strict dress code because I have trouble seeing 128 kids getting thrown out at my school of 2,200.

I find humor in most threads ... but ... I will always address the serious portion of an issue first ... part of the problem is that there are so many people that DON'T take anything in life seriously already, and I will NOT number myself amongst them (I was NOT the class clown and had no wish to be). That is part of the reason that the world is going to h*ll in a hand basket. No one wants to take responsibility for anything.

Part of the problem has to do with the situation in Iraq and the attacks in America by the President of the United States against our liberties and our freedoms, that has colored many of my posts with the red of anger. It isn't that I don't have a sense of humor ... it is that I don't see that much to laugh about when my friends and fellow warriors are dying in a war that I am NOT sure was justified. Another four friends have died in Iraq just in the last 30 days, and humor is the farthest thing from my mind. Their ages ranged from 19 to a ripe old age of 22. One of them leaves a wife and two kids, one leaves a young lady that he was going to marry in just 3 weeks. The toll now rests at seven friends, shipmates, neighbors and acquaintances - so much for the humor.

I do see humor in a lot of the posts ... I just don't feel like laughing though and haven't for quite some time. SORRY.
