Sikhs allowed to carry daggers to school!!!

This has got to be a bad idea surely?!!! Daggers in school?! No weapons should be allowed at all!!

Ive nothing against sikhs at all btw - all the sikhs ive met have been sound - always a good laugh and up for nights out involving lots of drinking! But just because traditional dress includes a dagger should not mean that gives them the right to go to school with one....

The Scottish nation dress however daft also incorporates a dagger normally I believe. Can the Scots take a dagger to school as well I wonder? mind most prob do in Glasgow! :D

When I was at school years ago we had a Sikh in our class - Sukjit - who carried a small knife. No aggro whatsoever, the agreement with the headmaster I belive was that it didn't come out, simple as that. :)

"The charter guarantees total religious freedom within Canada".

Obviously like this country - minorities *human rights* take priority over the safety of the majority and common sense! Sack the bl**dy lot I say (politicians that is).

Those Canadians :lol1:

Great let's uphold tradition over personal saftey.Well if my kids went to school there I would let them wear traditional costume as well. Davey Crockett hat,buckskins & a 12 inch Bowie knife.Might as well go the whole hog & have a musket as well.The Native Americans can have tomahawks & bows....isn't freedom of choice wonderful.

But the headmaster wasnt always watching him either was he, plus it might not always be the Sikhs choice to remove it, could quite easily be over powered by other kids in school.

Bad idea IMO with the times we live in today. If only for the Sikhs own safety

oh what a surprise...:o

mmmm, lets see...hey you cant bring that into school, it is a weapon.
no, its my religion and i should be allowed to bring it into school.
No you cant...
Well i shall protest and you shall see.

(a little while later)
right, no-one is allowed to bring any weapons into school, excpet for the sikh boy over there and he can bring in whatever the feck he likes, cos we dont want to upset a minority, or be accused of stopping a acertain section of our society from expressing their religious beliefs. no we dont want that do we !!!

FFS, its a school,you are in the country by choice, abide by the fecking rules, no whatter what colour, religion or class you are.
Dont bring bloddy knives into school end of story.
I dont care what your blody religion says, you can piss off some where else.
Now..that should have been the correct response..but oh no, we are all so PC and worried to even voice that argument.



sad....

how long before that is repeated over here

So if you are Jedi......



as some people are. You can take a Light Saber into school.
Cool. I wish I was still at school.

TBH I don't have an issue with anybody carrying a knife, I do however, have a very big issue if they decide to use it to harm or damage person or property.

No, it isn't recognised as a religion in this country.

Dave,

I know what your saying and I guess I agree with the point (in this day and age) When I was at school it was more a case of avoiding the wrath of the teachers as there was respect there and you were punished for breaking any of the billion and one rules which usually included whatever you happened to be up to at that point in time. :rolleyes:

**Shudders at the thought of rugby lessons with that sadistic little Welshman Mr. Williams the games master** :(

I thought it was after the last census?

Cool! everyone can carry a knife then.Do you think incidents involving knives will go up or down?.
If there are knives around they will eventualy be used.

If your caught carrying a knife, 5 years mandatory
10 years for a gun....THERE IS NO REASON TO CARRY A WEOPON!!!

fcuk me

Pah, sikhs with daggers, that's better than all the niggers* with guns around here, can go a day without hearing about some shooting around Jane and Finch, and it's such a shock to find that victim and suspect are black. Usual excuse being "he looked at me hard!".

Some innocent girl was killed outside the downtown mall on boxing day because these ignorant gansta's opened fire. The reason? One gang knocked off the hat of someone in another gang. WTF? Shoot the lot of them or close them off in their own ghetto.

*To qualify my use of "Nigger" I shall state that I mean the wannabe or actual youth gansta's with more bling on them that the usual caddy escalde, and not the normal, law abiding, friendly and quite often ashamed to be the same race, black people. I've nothing against those of other races, except when they start acting like fools, which is what the "niggers" round here are doing.

Isn't it in the Census? ;) :D

How about a ninja!!! :lol1:

On a serious note, may I ask what the purpose of the knife is according to this faith; why is it carried as opposed to something more innocuous?

Ladies and Gentlemen: Chris Rock posts on SN!!!! ;) :D

LMFAO @ Markus, 3-2-1- Vaped ;)

Can I just repeat this as it's a crucial question when considering this issue

oh why, cos he said a naughty word.. get a grip ppl, I lived with a black mate for years (as flatmates ) and he was always saying nigger..so chill.
I think marcus's point was about how easy violence kicks off for the smallest of reasons and that having a weapon allowed into school is just not a good idea, whatever the reason. and also that knives/daggers are just the tip of the iceberg.

well i could be wrong and have just dreamt the whole lot up
;)

edited cos marcus explained himself :D

Are the Rastas allowed to carry dope to school then?

Markus - I'd widen your definition to include people of Caucasian descent. Just like being gay is no longer anything to do with being happy, I'd say nigga is no longer anything to do with being black.

somebody would pop a cap in your ass for saying that! :eek::thumb:

Who you telling to get a grip? you think I give a sh!t if someone says Nigga? nope I dont, its the mods on here that delete suff thats why I said Vaped....

Ohh and aparently its OK for Blacks to say Nigga but not for us whiteys ;)

Are little muslim boys allowed to go to school with 10lbs of semtex strapped to them? :lol1:

^^vapable^^

PMSL... very good, I can see the funny side too that although I doubt that one will last long :D

honky not whitey

dumb honky ****er

Glad I'm not at school anymore, all I had was a cap gun!

I'm going to star a religion where its sacred to drive at which ever speed i class as 'safe' and do basically what i want!

Haaaaaaaang fiiiiiive honky :D
