Student Assaulted for "Appropriating" Dreadlocks

As someone with part Welsh ancestry how dare you allow our national flower to bloom without written permission or on St David's day. You are not Welsh you charlatan.

In all seriousness we have very little smog/fog. This is a bit of a myth. Very few times in my life has this been an issue.

The Great Smog was to do with coal fires, which were regulated years ago wit the clean air act.

London can have low cloud though, and it kind of get stuck here, but not real fog. You can get fogy/mist maybe quite early in the morning if you a lucky, but London is much warmer relative to to the surrounding country side so not really.

NYC can get foggy.

Like full fog lights, can't see your own hands foggy?

It doesn't surprise me. You have colder weather too. More snow. Mostly we get slush that doesn't settle. However one in a blue moon it snows proper like.

Lol I have Welsh blood,my name is Welsh.I'm crazy about Daffs,have naturalized dozens of varieties here.Its in the blood I guess.The fragrant jonquils are my favorite.
Sometimes we get serious fog here,we drove part way thru a field once,we thought it was the road.And my car has fog lights.

Ok Good you get a pass. Make sure you protect them from the heathens.

Just wanted to mention that technically it's not "cultural appropriation."

The natural state of human hair is dreadlocked when it's allowed to grow and is not styled. It locks together. It's not going to be neat, but that's what happens. I'm sure mine, being curly, would end up that way within a couple of weeks. Other peoples besides Jamaicans have historically had dreadlocks, and it's likely that many prehistoric peoples had them.

Anyone who wears a style of dress which originated with Europeans but is not of European origin is appropriating their culture, but I really don't see anyone complaining about it.

We seem to pick the most ignorant and limbic people we can find to gauge our societal dialogs on. It's our own fault that this somehow even constitutes news.

Dreadlocks are big in India, especially with "holy" men.

In fact the idea of smoking Ganja in Rastafarianism as a form of spiritualism, most likely came from India.

Something just occurred to me...

Praise the heavens for male pattern baldness!

Think of all the men who might otherwise have accidentally offended someone (or more precisely: Provided an opportunity for someone to take offense) had they possessed a full head of hair...

Oh, wait...



Damn you, Buddhism!

I have seen dreads with a bald patch. Rocking that deadlock comb-over

Check your privilege guys and gals!

This whole outrage is idiotic honestly. I've seen plenty of people who have dreadlocks, whether they be Asian, White, Black, Latino, etc.

It's a god damned hair style. Are people that desperate nowadays to search for f*****g offense in LITERALLY everything?

Not taking sides, but I think that that guy misunderstands: the issue is not that LBGT characters get mistreated. Its that they get written out of scripts early in TV series. Or thats what the young lady thinks happens.Have no idea how the lifespan of LBGT characters on TV compares to that of straight characters. But the "stray bullet" may have been just a convenient way to write her out of the script so they dont have to deal with a lesbian characater.

All the Haoles better ditch the Hawaiian print shirts.Or you get a Hawaiian Punch.

I like Hawaiian Punch!
