My friends and myself are often bothered unjustly by the factulty and some of the other students at school about wearing camo articles of clothing. Simple things like a camo shirt, or cargo pants, or even just a camo boonie hat, worn only to and fro, and removed promptly upon reaching the doors of the school. This would not be a problem if it weren't for the fact that there is absolutely nothing in our schools dress code that even hints that camo is not suitable for school. We are not breaking, or even pushing, any rule. If a jacket with the United States Marine Corps emblem on the right side breast pocket offends you, you have a serious problem and should consider leaving the country. Once, a...faculty member...of our school made a few comments on my wearing a camo pair of pants. I was wearing no other camo clothing that day, just pants, and sneakers, not my boots. He, very rudely, tells me that camo, is very innapropriate for school, and then proceeded to shpeel off into a huge long tailchasing self contradicting fact-making-upping rant that is so heavily used here.
People wrongly associate multiple shades of green with violence since it is so closely tied to guns. Hunting, is not violence, Paintball, is not violence. They both are SPORTS.
Green is a color that triggers thought and comtemplation. Red is the color that when overly applied produces anger and clouded thinking. Just as blue calms, and yellow cheers.
Perhaps people will learn to evaluate others by their characters.
Do you support racism? Probobly not, and you can probobly agree that discrimination by the color of one's clothes is evey bit as wrong as discrimination by the color of one's skin. (Please try and counter that if you think you can, it would be fun ripping it to shreds.)
Violence is not a situation created by the color green...
