Welcome to Vulcan Philosophy - First Class
For Students: ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

As you enter the classroom you find it has been re-designed from the standard issue high schools desk, chairs and chalkboard to instead fit your space and comfort needs. Styled around earths hippie movement of the 1960's, thick red and burnt orange shag carpeting covers the floor, tapestries with various colors and designs hang from the walls, several lava lamps and some back lighting behind the tapestries are the main source of light. All kinds of ottomans; some with casters and others with storage space, hassocks and bean bag chairs. In the background you hear subtle music playing [ooc: Crouching Tiger/Hidden Dragon type of stuff.] The atmosphere of the room is the most comfortable and soothing you have ever felt.
Finding something to sit on, you notice that a tall, lanky, dark haired man with a slightly greenish tint to his skin and pointy ears wearing what appears to be a floor length white terry cloth robe [occ: Same one he wore in STII:WoK, the best trek movie evah!!! If you haven’t seen this, it might be helpful with this class if you do watch it.] has walked in the room. He takes a seat and says, "Greeting students."
You find yourself mumbling a reply, to which the man raises on eye brow and says, "The polite response would be to acknowledge that you have been spoken to and reply in return. As we have not been introduced it would be best to use titles and say, ‘Greetings Professor’."
He looks back at you, waiting patiently for your reply and you feel slightly uncomfortable, rather like being a small child and disappointing your beloved grandfather. You find yourself and fellow classmates saying in unison, "Greetings Professor."
"I am Professor Spock, I will be your advisor for this class. My office hours are by appointment only, so please be sure to speak with me after class time if you need to make an appointment," he says.
You being to relax and make yourself more comfortable.
Professor Spock is sitting cross legged, he leans forward with his elbows on his knees and steeples his fingers together as he beings speaking. "The Vulcan nerve pinch is a Vulcan technique in which finger pressure is applied to certain nerves at the base of the neck, instantly and nonviolently rendering that individual unconscious*. Although the technique appears to work on nearly all humanoid species, and several non-humanoids as well, few non-Vulcans have been able to master the nerve pinch."
*[ooc: "...rendering that individual unconscious." Okay, so, it’s never really specified how long the unconsciousness lasts, it seems to be whatever the length of time is needed to finish the scene and/or get away. So keep this in mind if you’re going to use it on anyone here that Spock is immune to it and omniscient in his classroom, so any students you knock out, he will just pick them up and keep going with the lesson. Outside the room, you are on the honor system to use this and run like hell – okay? Thanks =) ]
The Professor continues, "Let us now discuss the implications of rendering a person unconscious in this non-lethal manner and would you consider it unethical to go through your victims pockets and look for loose change?"

You have the correct hand placement, simply adjust your palm 10 degrees south to use the pads of your fingers rather than your nails... *spock adjusts your hand on Max's neck* ... apply a slight pressure... *pinch Max*

Thank you, sir. Now, I understand that it's unethical to nerve-pinch someone for the explicit purpose of riffling through his or her pockets, but what about looking for items such as keys or sensitive documents?

You are correct Mr. McCoy, it is unethical to use the nerve-pinch for those specific means. There are many other ways to incapacitate a person without causing them to lose consciousness. However, if you find yourself in a situation where you have used the nerve-pinch in self defense, it would be illogical to leave a potential enemy armed or in possession of counter intelligence. In those cases, logic dictates that you would indeed need to confiscate anything you find.
*Spock turns to face Hank and pulls from behind his back, as if out of thin air a copy of 'Maxim' magazine* This periodical from Mr. Fischers book bag for example, appears to be reading material that might be inflammatory and inappropriate for a minor. I will give this further examination.
Unless there are questions, or either of you would like to make an appointment. I will give you this homework assignment, enjoy your weekend.
I look forward to seeing everyone at the next class. The topic will be, "IDIC: Infinite Diversity, Infinite Combinations" [ooc: google this if you want to know more] How logic can unlock more than just your mind.
*gives Vulcan hand salute*
Live long, and prosper
