Advanced Criminal Justice, Class 28, Period 1, 04.20.06
[OOC: Continuing "Raid Wiki For Info" Week! Also, I've finally updated the Class Info Post.]
"Hello, students! Today we're discussing two opposing models of Justice. But first, a reminder: there's only a week of classes left!"
"Okay, the two models are the Conflict Model and the Consensus Model. The Conflict Model states that the organizations in the Justice System should - and perhaps do! - come into contention with each other. For example, police are determined to put people in prison and even have clearance rates. Similar stories with the prosecutors. But prison officials may be concerned wiith overcrowding and do what they can to limit their numbers. Perhaps they even let criminals out more easily."
"Another example would be the way that police can be so determined to arrest superheroes sometimes. Or the courts with their fines for public destruction. It's all conflict. Competition, even, to see which wheel on the Tricycle of Justice is the best."
"On the other end of the theoretical teeter totter is the Consensus Model. It says that the Justice System should - and perhaps does! - work together and cooperate. The police and courts work together to send bad people to prison. The prisons hold the bad people. Superheroes assist where they can. The important thing is that, egads, we're on a tricycle and we're having fun! Look at us zoom down this hill! Wheee!"
"Some people have speculated that we shoot for Consensus but Conflict is our reality. My question for you is what do you think about the whole thing? Consensus? Conflict? Are we one? Are we the other? Is one better? What are we doing with our shiny, red tricycle?"
"Please discuss!"

It might also have something to do that in ACJ no one was likely to bring up the subject of prom.
Re: Talk, Take Notes, Pass Notes, Etc. [Class 28]
I decided to ask Archie to prom. He said yes. I bought a dress yesterday. I'm actually looking forward to this now!! :)
Re: Talk, Take Notes, Pass Notes, Etc. [Class 28]
*twitch*
That's great. Does the dress have a nautical theme?
Re: Talk, Take Notes, Pass Notes, Etc. [Class 28]
No.
So, think Angela will be cool if I snag you for a dance at some point in the evening?
Re: Talk, Take Notes, Pass Notes, Etc. [Class 28]
Damn it.
Why not? You can dress up like that guy on the Cracker Jack box. You'd look good in bell bottoms. I mean the guy will probably be going in uniform, you should try to match.
I don't think Angela would care about the dancing thing. I danced with Alanna at the Valentine's day dance and she didn't seem to care. (Angela didn't care. Not Alanna. Well Alanna may not have cared either.)
*twitch*
Re: Talk, Take Notes, Pass Notes, Etc. [Class 28]
Because I'm a girl, dammit, and it's the prom and I want to look beautiful!
Well, good then! I'm totally claiming you for a dance.
Re: Talk, Take Notes, Pass Notes, Etc. [Class 28]
Are you saying you can't pull of the sailor look? See if you go in a normal prom dress no one will remember it years from now. You go with the cracker jack motif, you'll look cute AND people will remember you. Isn't that better?
Re: Talk, Take Notes, Pass Notes, Etc. [Class 28]
Re: Talk, Take Notes, Pass Notes, Etc. [Class 28]
I'm NOT twitching
*twitch*
Damn.
Re: Talk, Take Notes, Pass Notes, Etc. [Class 28]
And yes, you totally are. What's up?
Re: Talk, Take Notes, Pass Notes, Etc. [Class 28]
I'M NOT TWITCHING!
And have you considered Archie's feelings in this matter? A young man torn from the history and thrust into an alien world that is not his own? Maybe you dressing up as a sailor would make him happy? You want your date to be happy don't you?
Re: Talk, Take Notes, Pass Notes, Etc. [Class 28]
Okay, are you stoned today? What guy would rather see a girl in a sailor suit instead of a pretty dress? Seriously, Blank, I'm starting to worry about you.
Re: Talk, Take Notes, Pass Notes, Etc. [Class 28]
*draws and arrow to: *What guy would rather see a girl in a sailor suit instead of a pretty dress?"*
A SAILOR! Duh!
*twitch-twitch-twitch*
Re: Talk, Take Notes, Pass Notes, Etc. [Class 28]
You're an idiot, Blank. Sailors see people in sailor suits all the time. A pretty girl in a pretty dress would be a welcome diversion. Besides, I am NOT wearing a sailor suit to my PROM!
Re: Talk, Take Notes, Pass Notes, Etc. [Class 28]
seamenshipmates. Maybe a sailor suit would be just the thing! Don't be selfish Mars!Re: Talk, Take Notes, Pass Notes, Etc. [Class 28]

Re: Talk, Take Notes, Pass Notes, Etc. [Class 28]
Sorry. Rephrase: "You are the one going out on a date with a sailor..."
Better?
