Middle school principal cancels honors night event. Bet you can't guess why.

Why do people like this think kids won't notice stuff? Who's taller, better athlete, smarter, prettier, more sexually developed, whatever. They notice. And pretending the differences don't exist won't change that.

When Joe Clark ("Stand By Me") appeared with Phil Donahue, all Phil wanted to talk about was the couple of dozen 21-year old "sophomore" drug dealers Joe had kicked out of school. After repeatedly asking Joe about "what would happen" to those punks, Joe finally said the equivalent of: "I don't give a sh*t what happens to them. I've got 1800 kids to worry about, they're my first and only priority."

Makes sense. When you can pass and graduate with a 2.0, a diploma is basically the equivalent of a participation trophy.[/QUOTE

You know, his mythical student "who tried real hard but just fell short" is a candidate for a face to face with the principal, an attaboy and other positive reinforcement. But only in the minds of some of our professional educators is honoring top students something to be avoided because the lazy, indifferent (me!, me! me!) or stupid ones would feel embarrassed or something.

I'm no animal rights activist. For sure, I don't give a G*d d*mn about the "issues" these a*sholes have with sharing the beach with seals. But abusing those animals to make some freaking political point is insane. I say, track these b*tches down and string 'em up.

When I was dispatching for the Eagle County SO in Colorado we'd get calls from the Californicators that had moved there, demanding that a deputy be sent to remove the elk from their property. Sorry lady, but this is Colorado, not LA! :mad:

No more BFF's in England. :mad:

Teachers in England are banning school children from keeping best friends, instead encouraging the youngsters to play in large groups, The Sun reported.

The controversial policy was implemented in certain schools with the idea of avoiding pain for children who experience break-ups with a close pal, according to the newspaper.

What's even funnier is that the title of the page cuts off "embly".

Occasionally on those "World's Dumbest" programs they play a tape from some mental defective who's called 911 from the drive through line of a fast food joint because they're out of special sauce or something. You know, in modern law enforcement, you could make the case that summary executions would be a useful tool. The proceedings could be videotaped and played on the local news during the weekly "Crimestoppers" segment.

http://techcrunch.com/2013/03/21/a-dongle-joke-that-spiraled-way-out-of-control/

Woman at a tech conference hears a couple guys behind her cracking "big dongle" and "forking" jokes and takes offense. Rather than confront them, she snaps a picture of them and tweets it to event staff asking them to control the situation. They're escorted out and eventually apologize. One of the guys, a father of three, gets fired from his job as a result. The Internet gets a hold of the story, starts sending rape/death threats to the woman, publishes her contact info, and contacts her employer threatening them if they don't fire her. Eventually, they fire her, setting off ANOTHER firestorm.

I hate people.

If that woman thinks a sixth-grade dongle joke is tasteless, her head would probably asplode if she spent an hour hanging out at my employer.
