We're already talking about a public school here. This is like the least disgusting thing that happens there. It's like getting your panties in a wad because detainees at camp X-ray only get four fish sticks instead of eight.

Also what is with women being obsessed with marathons? Is there any worse form of exercise than running for 20 miles? And then they whine and miss work because of their injuries. Wahhhh maybe your worn down 40 year old body was not meant to run for hours at a time.
Now you're against saving women's breasts? YGOS?

Well, considering that approximately 50% of the population of a middle school IS immature boys, that is exactly why the school is doing this.

I am generally against the automatic "slippery slope" argument that is immediately thrown forward when arguing against bans like these, but would all of you saying "OMG it's about breast cancer, lighten up" really be allright if the same 11-14 year old girls (maybe your daughters) were wearing bracelets saying "I Love Ballsacks" in support of testicular cancer awareness?

I mean its all subjective and open to interpretation but they can easily claim the above yes's without difficulty. Vulgarity is a slam dunk. Obscenity - if they used breasts instead of boobies it would be harder to judge but they can push this one (not that they need to at this point). Obscenity is pretty much a slam dunk given just how subjective that one is.

Profanity is a grey area, you yanks are weird with swearing in general and if there is a religious teacher involved it can get weirder still. Double entendre, well the campaign slogan is pretty much the definition of it plus see Dvaut:

Im not saying its the right thing to do. But then im extremely relaxed about swearing, double entendre and general obscenity. I also dont run a school. Even if you assume they are wrong to do it they certainly have all the grounds in the world to do so which is what i was saying.

The fact the kids are suing the school is hilarious. Isnt there several specific cases where it was specifically shown in case law that freedom of speech does not extend to slogans on school ground?

If you were involved in a conversation with a small group of men & women @ work about breast cancer, would you, while asking a question, or directing a comment towards a woman in the conversation, refer to her breasts as "boobies".....
I think not. It's immature. the "vulgar" statement comes from the dictionary.

Of course not. I'd call them ba-jungas and "what, me worry?" them

I think you need to work on using curses in sentences. These sentences are awkward.

It's just not necessary. If they want to raise awareness for breast cancer they could wear one of the other thousand bands or wear pink everyday. I have seen very young girls wearing these bracelets in my area and it is a bit strange. The use of semi-profane slogans is just a reaction to the over saturation of the cancer awareness market.

Yes.

In fact most women in my experience find it cute.

I am typing this on my computer.

Is the above sentence also semi-profane? There is absolutely nothing as in nothing profane about the word "boobies".

Wearing a bracelet that say I love boobies to middle school is not appropriate

I would not be allowed to wear a shirt that says I hate abortion with a picture of an aborted fetus to school

Where are these girls going to learn to be ashamed of their bodies if not at school?

Exactly. The word "boobies" is just as disgusting as aborted fetuses.
