if it was your own measurement that you were to judge by, then why introduce said subject to outside opinion?

Could I suggest that for us to be able to formulate said opinion that the essay is posted here for our combined scrutiny
 
Because Monty urged me to complete it, and I assured him that I did with extra detail?
I didn't realize it was of such paramount interest to you.

Why are you so anal towards me?

oh sugar bear, thats two in two.

besides the above, whatever gave you the impression of paramount interest? and back to the top line, anal? towards you? perhaps recite ''agape love''.

i reckon you do it on purpose.

I don't understand. Do what on purpose? Why are you so ambiguous? It's border-lining pretension. Say what you mean!

Here it is, ending was kind of rushed cause I had to get to class, but if definitely got the job done:

Dress Code: A Professional Environment or a Professional Pain?
Dress code has long been a source of conflict between teachers and students, especially at a school such as Cranbrook, which upholds an exceptionally strict dress code. Mondays call for dress attire (dress pants and ties for boys, skirts, dresses, or nice slacks for the ladies) and Tuesdays through Fridays allow “casual” wear. However, Cranbrook’s definition of casual wear does not include jeans of any kind, sweats, t-shirts endorsing anything besides the school itself, sleeveless shirts, or camouflage. This extensive list of fashion faux-paus here at Cranbrook is obviously difficult for any teenager of the 21st century to manage, considering the fashion of the time and what is available in stores. Petty annoyances aside, enforcement of a strict dress code also hinders education, preys upon the insecurities of growing and vulnerable youth, emphasizes class distinction, and creates animosity between teachers and students. Dress code in its entirety, with exception to extremities and infringements upon public decency, should be abolished.
According to the Cranbrook Kingswood Community Handbook, punishment for dress code violations may include but is not limited to referral to the Dean of Students, detention assigned, a meeting with the student’s parents, and obviously the requirement that the student not wear the offending item again. These are all reasonable courses of action for student discipline; however, the restrictions of our dress code carry the issue far passed the matter of general decency. When an otherwise model student is admonished for the “crime” of wearing sweat pants to school, his or her motivation in class is affected and the student’s relationship with the teacher might be damaged. A student wishing to remain anonymous who was recently assigned a detention for the length of her skirts agreed that she “felt frustrated through the remainder of [her] classes” and “feels resentment towards the teacher who got her in trouble”. Another student said that he “often feels uncomfortable in the clothes that Cranbrook considers inappropriate”. How can this kind of oppression be beneficial to the educational experience?
The issue of dress code hindering student education is not an isolated one. When asked for a statistic on the number of students she stops a day for dress code, Sharon Peacock, a well-known defender of the dress code, approximated 10-15 girls a day, this number not including boys punished or the number of students referred to her by e-mails from male teachers not wishing to punish a female student themselves. In a school as tightly knit as Cranbrook, these are significant figures.
Furthermore, the requirements of this code push some students beyond their means. Anna Wu, a junior here at Cranbrook, feels pressured by the need to dress up. “I board here at CK, and my family lives in Japan. A lot of kids here live in Birmingham and are very well to do, but I don’t have sufficient funding from my parents to go all out on Mondays like many do. It’s embarrassing to be borrowing dresses every week when many girls are wearing Dolce and Gabana. It only broadens the gap between social classes.”
Without a dress code, the students of Cranbrook Kingswood who are, according to the Dean of Students, “as a whole, responsible and motivated individuals”, could feel more comfortable in class and free to focus on their studies. Furthermore, dress code would not lead to conflict between offended students and teachers who must act as disciplinarians instead of imparters of knowledge. Exceptions would be made if students were dressed in a manner offensive to society, but this would hardly be an issue at Cranbrook. Despite the particular relevance of this issue to Cranbrook, schools across the nation have similar dress codes and therefore, similar hindrances upon the education of its students. Shouldn’t all schools be working against these sort of oppressions?

your opinion of ambiguous.

your opinion pretension.

"hot bitch who hates feminists" remember?

in that thread and in subsequent posts, in parts you have been contradictory.

thats not an opinion, its something i can quote to prove.

im surprised you posted in the manner you did earlier when the thread about ''listen to this'' didnt flow the way it appeared you would have liked.
 
how is "hot bitch who hates feminists"
in the least bit ambiguous, or pretensious?
On the contrary, it's a very direct statement and exactly how I feel.

And why are you surprised?
I just think that everyone would like the song. It's very moving.
 

i was referencing the thread and its contents.

i didnt declare pretentious or ambiguous.

how can one think for anyone else? regardless of one being moved? did another individual push you to listen to that track and then feed you the thoughts you ought to think?

''learning isnt repetition'' - honest.

I'm not thinking for anyone else, I'm making a recommendation and suggesting they might like it! And someone else did share the song with me, I formed my opinion of it on my own. Their intention was to introduce me to the artist, but it was only the song that captured my attention.
Again, why so anal? I suggested a song, it's not something to be grilled about.
 
Annnddd you still didn't answer the question as to what I supposedly do on purpose.

'Annnddd' you need reminding...

Alright, so maybe my title is a little in-your-face.
But I feel like I have to voice this, since I'm saying it all the time and I think the people of Grand Old Team ought to know:

I absolutely despise feminists and here's why:
If it weren't for women like Susan B. Anthony, I wouldn't be attending school right now.
"But Devin! Your parents are spending tens of thousands of dollars for you to go to some posh boarding school in Michigan! How can you not see the value in education?"
Well my doll face, of course I see the value in education.
However, if I were not in school, I'd be planning parties, decorating, reading, playing piano, being charming, and seducing my rich potential husbands, meanwhile individually pursuing education privately if I so chose.
I believe a woman's true power lies in the element of surprise, when everyone assumes she's vacant (as most do from my appearance) when truly she's fiercly intelligent. This gives her an incredible advantage.
I don't mean to say in the least bit that I believe women aren't equal to men, I simply believe we're different and that we should use our appeals to our advantage instead of renouncing them to pretend that we have cocks.

So ladies, bat your eyelashes, display vulnerability, let them open the doors, and recognize in silence that you hold the power behind the throne.

The end, hope I didn't offend anyone :]

theres so much in there.

ever read sun-tzu?
 

I see.
Just wanted to point out that I'm 16, so obviously your knowledge will reach beyond mine.
And, see? You couldn't even answer a quantitative data question without being ambiguous.
 
you didnt specify exactly, but dont let that stop you from having a go.

i didnt question your age, date of birth, place of birth, sexual or religious preference or educational record.

there is no obviously with regards my or anyone elses knowledge, being beyond your own or any other individuals.

with regards questions, quantative data or otherwise, perhaps not all individuals are prepared to be as honest and forthright as yourself.

once upon a time in a land long ago i would have liked someone to spell that 'one' out to me before i allowed myself to be burned by unscrupulous individuals only out for a pound of flesh.

[Note: 'pound of flesh' is a literal term and not any other]
 
there is no obviously with regards my or anyone elses knowledge, being beyond your own or any other individuals.

This sentence makes no sense, I don't even know what you're trying to say.
