There's a difference between standing up to stupidity stupidly and objecting to stupid rules (via the right channels). Mazz's way feels legitimate and very reasonable, although that would just mean that the teachers would be in the wrong if it occured in our country and is investigated because they are not ignorant yet they did not take any action i.e. they're guilty of inaction. That said, most of our teachers in our country also don't wish to get anyone into too much trouble, and won't do much either - apathy I believe it's called? I'm apathetic and I side the apathetic, but I'm just saying what's in black and white. I would not be tempted to break rules while they're enforced or written in black and white though. So, plus one to you Mazz.
Let's put this as an example: in any country, you riot or protest to... well... protest against something, and most places allow you to do it freely (as long as it's non-violent). In our country, you have to apply for a riot license (or wadever it's called) to be allowed to organise any protest [and people have done it], or else you'll be arrested. Ridiculous? Welcome to our world. Most of us don't find it a loss or at a disadvantage of sorts because it's not something we mind, unless you feel that strongly for something - we also don't care if you call us brainwashed. We're living here and we're happy, and the system works perfectly fine as it is - don't fix (too much) what's not broken, even if it's just cracked.
tl;dr: if you feel that strongly about something, you will do something (maybe in the right channels, maybe not). If they feel something needs to be done, they will do something (again the channels...). If you don't give a crap about something, then life goes on - until it hits you e.g. they come to you with a stick, and then you'll react to it according to how you feel about it. Doesn't need much saying, does it?
I can tell you what's wrong with his hair. His hair is touching his ears. His fringe is perfectly fine. I can't see the back of his hair but nevermind.
The rules for guys are simple: hair not touching ears, not touching eyebrows, not touching collar (at the back). That's quite a far cry from militaristic haircut, where the general rule is about a finger thickness above your ear (thin one, and some units are less strict on this...) and so on. It is only during the beginning phases of the military training that your hair has to be shaved to a buzzcut (or wadever that's called).
By the way, Lutheron was just being sacarstic, if you didn't realise. We're not THAT crazy.
