    What I don't get is how the people behind the law think that this will ever work, and why did you turn your kids into precious fragile little flowers that will shatter the first time somebody calls them a fag in the first place.

    Seriously!

    My biggest irritation with parents nowadays is the fact that, it seems, all parents think of their kids as fragile glass bulbs that can't handle anything, and the sad truth is, when you treat your kids like that long enough, it becomes TRUE.

    I don't know about you guys, but when I was a kid, I was treated basically like a miniature person (except for having to work, and other obviously needed changes). I was allowed (hell, I was forced to) play outside, play with others, ride bikes and enjoy nice weather. If I hurt myself minorly (a cut, a bruise), I was told to suck it up. And you know what, that makes you tough.

    Obviously, when warranted, they treated me differently. If I was sick, they let me be a sick kid and took care of me, and so on and so forth, but they also let me live, and not inside some proverbial bubble.

    Anyone else have a similar experience their thankful for now that they're older?

    I'm thankful my parents taught me the difference between 'their' and 'they're.'

    Your sig should be compulsory reading for 90% of the internet.

    Also, in his post he uses they're and their correctly. or were you just saying in general or in response ot his post?

    What?

    ToadTheMushroom is in that 90%.

    Only in REAL jail. Rich people jail is nice. Like a vacation. Only mandatory, and lasting much longer than the normal week.

    This is a big issue in my little neck of the woods lately.
    Some high school girl was severly penalized for saying "that's so gay".

    Funny/sad thing is, she's mormon, and someone was making fun of her for being mormon, to which she replied "that's so gay".

    The only person that was "offended" by it was.... a teacher nearby who overheard. Not like some flaming fa... homosexually oriented person of homosexual persuasion.... was offended by it. Oh no.... some teacher with a bug up his ass reported her.

    Now the whole school in an uproar over this. Kids are being punished for saying "that's retarded" or "that's so ghetto" or my favorite... they are not allowed to say "that's lame" ... (??)

    Kids have responded by saying things like "ohmigod that's so heterosexual!" :^:

    edit: The whole thing is fucking gaytarded.

    Schools are becoming government institutions for raising children. I've no scientific data to back this statement up, but I believe that most parents don't even know their children any more. How far does this go? Does anyone else see that children raised by the state is kind of a bad thing?

    There really is a difference between instructing a child in reading, writing, mathematics, and history and raising kids. Raising kids deals with teaching them morality, acceptable behaivor etc. What you and I are talking about are two very different things.

    I'm not going to read this whole thing but if you are being bullied on the internet and it bothers you to the point of suicidal depression, maybe you should get off the internet. Or change your AIM name. Or BLOCK people.

    I mean damn kid. I got called gay all the time! Know how I overcame it? I went to college and fucked women and when I returned all the bullies were doing exactly the same retarded shit they were doing when I left. Hear me in the afterlife kid? You may have over-fucking-reacted.

    In short: Don't kill yourself. It's fucking stupid.

    things were pretty rough in high school so i figured what the hell, played a bit of GTA then went out and ended my life in a forced standoff with a police helicopter

    but to my surprise i then rose on the third day for the explicit purpose of kicking ass and playing savage guitar riffs all the while backflipping off a truck as it drove off a cliff with tom petty playing full blast

    There was a story that I heard about not too long ago about a school in Texas. This little girl was reading the bible in detention and her instructor threw it in the garbage saying "Put that crap where it belongs." Italian news isn't always the most relaible since Berlusconi own's virtually everything, so I usually rely on relatives in the U.S for news and that is where I heard it.
