Agreed, toxic green would have looked WAY better.Texas Joker 52 said:Well, other than it being pink. Seriously, a good toxic green would have looked better with his complexion. And it would have looked more badass.
Pretty much my thought too. I love to think that your rights should be stopped where it interferes with other people's rights. 16 inches of hair pointing straight up would at best be a distraction and most likely an inconvenience for the surroundings. They did not ask him to cut it, simply to not wear it in spikes in school.Greater Evil said:He could set the record at home and leave it at that. His hair probably gets in the way of hallway traffic in school and people's view of the chalkboard in class.

OT: Meh, I can see both sides of the argument. If the school has a lax approach to dress codes then yea, they shouldn't really be saying anything. But at the end of the day schools do have the right to moderate dress sense. Fuck, we still had uniforms at my place. And lets be honest, I imagine hair that tall would get in the way a bit in a school setting.
Personally, I don't like spiked mohawks. Fins are so much cooler.
I was riffing on the 'slippery slope' argument, facetiously claiming that one kid's mohawk would inspire even more radical hair-doos, until kids are showing up to school with entire helicopters in their hair[footnote]EDIT: And that it would be somehow bad.[/footnote].Abandon4093 said:He's hardly thinking outside the box.
