[QUOTE="nocoolnamejim"]Again, my focus here is less on this specific incident which is nothing more than poor judgment on behalf of the teacher (a mistake we all make sometimes). My emphasis is as follows: 1. Sure, forgive the teacher provided he apologizes to the student and is more careful in the future 2. How someone dresses does NOT mean that they are "asking" for ill treatment. Otherwise, yes, I agree. Specific incident = not a big deal. I know what you're getting at and I agree (more or less). I think why people are continuing the argument is because you're almost making it sound like you won't give it a rest until everyone openly admits agreeing with you (which, of course, would make them angry and they keep arguing for the sake of trying futilely to vent steam). Just a theory....
Incase you don't know, there is a trick to easily take out UMD from the box. Just press that "Joystick" logo (at right corner below UMD) with your thumb only.
Try it if you haven't

Maybe I should, cause I've lost count of how many game cases I've broken..... >.O
Should the teacher of the class, the authority figure in this situation, be singling out a vulnerable minority for the rest of the class to have fun at her expense?nocoolnamejim
If the teacher is a well know joker and is good at it (yeah, some teachers really do have good enough senses of humor to make even the most dramatic smile) then I say ***** yeah! Sheesh, this entire thread needs to lighten up.
yeah whenever I meet new people I usually shake their hand. It's rare you find someone who actually gives you a good firm handshake though.

I do. But shaking hands with women...I haven't mastered that yet. Any tips or advice? I don't know if they like firm handshakes or what... :?
For me it depends not only on the gender but the formality of the situation. Like, if I'm introduced to a friend's friend, I give the guys a good handshake and the ladies I skip handshakes and give them a hug. :D (They've come to expect if of me actually) If, on the other hand, it's an employment interview or other professional situation I give a firm handshake regardless of gender.
That's funny. As per the actual question, no, the teacher should not be in any kind of trouble. However, he could have made it more obvious that he was joking. I myself would have handled it something like this: Me: *turns to goth student* "I want you to go in first and clear the room of all the demons and vampires." Goth: ....! Me: Hey, c'mon, that was just a joke....But seriously, there aren't any demons in there, right? Or vampires? Werewolves? Zombies?! Cause you know, not having any brains makes me easily distracted. The whole teaching thing is really hard at that point, like the other day.... *coughs* I mean, come on everyone, time for class! *enters classroom*
If by "giving into the hype" you mean "buying something on impulse" then yes. Otherwise, no. I do my homework. {Most} of my friends already know if they want me to get a game so we can play it together online, they better be prepared to let me play their own copy first. Of course, there are a select few titles I will buy with no background check at all, and don't bother telling me I'm the only one! Do you know how many copies of WarCraft III were sold for sheer love of the series and/or the name "Blizzard" when it hit the shelves?
I play through the game once. I usually then write a review on it somewhere, but anyway, if I enjoyed the game (or just bored) I play through again aiming to get any achievement that doesn't require putting myself in a situation that would give me the urge to throw my controller through a window.
