Better be suspended from school than be send to Guantanamo.


That said, sometimes schools seem to have their own little tyrannical way of functioning.

Tis true. The brown-corduroy liberal elite in Mass have their own way of doing things. Sad.

I've been to MA, where the Massholes live. The liberals there...not always so "elite", whatever that means.

This kind of stuff is completely stupid, and I am afraid it is "political correctness" run amok. I'm a flaming liberal, but this knee-jerk crap is a perversion. The right has the neo-cons, religious nutcases and anti-government types for assholes, the left has the politically correct assholes. They all suck in their own oppressive way.

The brown-corduroy liberal elite

See, I never understand statements like this.

Most of the liberals I've met are hippies or yuppies....Never met one who's an elite, and since I think that a liberal elite and a conservative elite (as we are constantly shown) have way more in common with each other than they do with any of us working class people I think it's probably better just to use the term elite.

S- just sayin.

You owe me a coke.

Sure they are. Just ask em.

Completely agree. Gonna be a tough election year again. Either I stay home this November or I vote for someone in the Libertarian party whom I've never heard of before.

You realize that you just flamed me, as I am a resident of Massachusetts.

You also realize that you are making judgments based on only half the story, as the school can not comment because of privacy regulations.

Well it's been interesting reading your posts, but I don't think I'll be reading anymore.

Take care guys, you just made my ignore list.

I couldn't resist Walter! I've got family there.

Motherfuckers. I hate this sort of shit with passion.

I'm from there, so I know how they are. But I like you Walt...

Not much to it. I mean, how much contempt can you assign to a 4th grader with an empty shell casing?

Take care guys, you just made my ignore list.
