One of my friends was telling me they teach the children that blocking is OK by not giving them suspension if they only block but the moment they throw a punch back they are suspended... Because fighting back is not defending yourself... Has to be one of the dumbest B/S rules I have ever heard of in my life.

I do understand the position the schools are in though, parents are not parents. They are just as big of POS that their children are. So if a school said it was OK to fight back the POS parents could sue the school system.

My wife and I are just going to send our children to private school where you have to pay for common sense but at least it is there.

 

Watch out for the mods, this is getting PO-LIT-IC-AL!

The government disarmed you....
Skilled labor......
I do not see any connection.

Regulations are the rules of the game. The rules of the game change. Dont like it, dont play the game. Three college degrees taught me that and how to type coherently.

 

As a left wing radical I would like to state that I never use lead bullets as they are bad for the environment haha Seriously I have been non-lead reloading with my father since the early 90's.

Just trying to bring humor back to the thread?!?

I do not see any connection. My government's military taught me how to kill. That makes me skilled labor

Took no graduate course.

 

[quote=arado]I am glad that the only thing you can post about that you learned/gained from your was "how to kill."
My dad who served 30 plus years taught me honor, respect, leadership, dedication, and how to use my hands and the importance of a clear message.
Ever try to read something written by a governmental employee.

 

I probably shouldn't have posted anything, but it just reminded me of the BS we had to put up with schools and bullying. Two teachers witnessed my kid, who was 5' as a Junior do to his Noonan's, he's 5' 5" today as a young man, but 5' maybe a 100lbs having 5 guys wagon wheel him in the hallway. Not until THEY brought up the gun, did anyone do anything. Street justice on this one. I didn't like doing it, but that is exactly what happened to the 5. They never were punished for what they did at school. But some local rednecks that really didn't like what they did to my kid took care of it and looked after him in the senior year. They were kind of the out casts at school, but I had nothing but respect for them. Sometimes you just have to handle a different way. Everything was thrown out, principal moved on to another school system. School board changed. There isn't any bullying there now with the new superintendent. He doesn't tolerate it. Lesson learned. The officer that handled that case that day now is a Captain over the juvenile jail. He has never forgotten what happened to my kid that day. He doesn't tolerate bullying either. So it all turned out well. Just thought I would follow up....not anything political here. This is a people thing...doing the right thing at the right time...

 

Glad you noticed. Lets stay on topic.

wasn't prison....Jason is top notch in my book... Good thing you are in Canada...lol... you might get audited if not....lol...

 

I appreciate it Doc. You are class act yourself and its a shame that people think its ok to be bullies. Its a shame that your son to endure that type of behavior as a junior in high school. If I was in your shoes, I would have done the same thing.
