Wait, did this happen in the UK...waitaminute.........oh.
Total horseshit. Look at how his mom is siding with the insanity.
My son was suspended for bringing a piece of bark to school that could
have been imagined to have been a knife. It had no edge, no handle,
only that it was in a similar shape to a cutting implement like a
substantial percentage of the wood laying on the ground and he called
it a "knife," because kids play pretend and have imaginations.
They suspended him. During my discussions with the school
administrators, I got the same zero tolerance policy bullshit, but
interestingly enough, nobody would make a substantive defense of the
policy. They all agreed essentially in not so many words that it was
absurd. Yet they all fell back on the Nuremberg Defense.
The system has gone haywire, utterly haywire. Like "Brazil."

What if he is not? What if he is playing cowboys and indians and saying bang

It's ok with you when he moves on to the real thing?
Do you really think a child's playing and fantasy is going to lead to the

still extremely rare and cowboys and indians have been played by kids since

Not only did I carry a pocket SAK to school almost every day, I'd
routinely take it out in class and play with it, use the scissors or
knife blade (!) to cut paper, repair my clarinet with it, clean out my
fingernails with the screwdriver tips...about the only complaints I ever
got were to quit playing with it and pay attention please.
Most of the stage crew geeks carried them...it was incredibly common.
We used to joke about how it didn't even count as a weapon, if you tried
to hurt someone with it you'd be more likely to cut off your own fingers.
Nowadays I think they use nerf-scissors to cut paper in class.
The world has gone totally crazy about these things now. We're not safer
now because my teenage son can't carry a pocket knife or a leatherman

Why would I want to grasp moronic concepts.
No, they play Heather has Two Daddies or something. We "all know"
that allowing boys to act like boys leads to the Holocaust or
something. Morons abound who actually believe that boys' imaginary
play causes them to grow up to act that out. The bottom line is that
women are freaking stupid.
They have banned violent play and imagination. Consequently, boys get
worse. There's actually an English researcher who found that allowing
boys to do the imaginary violent war play made them feel, act, behave
better on a variety of metrics. A Brit actually recommended
permission of play guns into school playgrounds. I brought this up
and provided a link when my son got suspended for the piece of bark.
Yes, to all the morons out there, to anyone, step back for a second
and LOOK at what happened. A boy was SUSPENDED from school for
violation of a weapons policy for bringing an IMAGINARY KNIFE to
school, which in reality was a piece of BARK.

Actually, after all the information came out, I thought it was a colossal
failure of parental supervision. Those kids spent a whole weekend in the
garage making bombs and no parent ever in looked in on them. One kid had a
sawed off shotgun in his room and no parent ever noticed it or said anything
about it. The thing that was obviously lacking was any adult role models in
those lads lives.

It wasn't "fashioned" in any way, shape, or form. It was an
unmodified piece of bark IMAGINED to be a knife.
Trav
I believe he refers to the ancient Aussie burial ritual of putting
penises on dead men's eyes. I assume dead women get vags on their
eyes, but any clarification on this from Aussie side is off course
welcome.
Lol. You are like a three year old. If they cannot do something they
also claim that "it was stupid anyway".
Wait...women don't have eyes...do they???
Trav
Nonsense. There are, and have been for YEARS, policies and provisions in
place to remove 'disruptive' students from school.
What these policies do is make it so that no one ever needs to exercise
any judgment in a disciplinary matter, and that no one ever CAN.

I don't want to carry a whole messa tools with me; it's bad enough with
the laptop and the wires & connectors I shlep around.

You wanted a justification -- target shooting club is a justification.

That's nice, but so what? I could also kill someone with a 2" folder,
too. Slit your throat quite nicely, it will.
>> Grenades are just for killin'.

I bet IDPA folks would disagree.
Triple function if Richard Gere happens to be around.
Fraser
Don't worry about it mate. We are white and therefore automatically racist.
Fraser
Fuck yeah. Let me share a quick story. I had a pic on my FB page that was taken at a friend's
birthday party. It was a pick of two mates and a kid, with tea-towels wrapped around their heads
appearing to play the drums on a table.
One of the guys sends me a nasty email, saying how dare I put this pic up as it's of him
'impersonating Muslims' and was likely to offend Muslims. WTF???? I told him I had no idea he was
'impersonating Muslims' and as I had a Muslim father, perhaps it was ME that should be offended!
Apparently it's a greater sin to chronicle the 'sin' than commit it.
I took the pic off, but it just goes to show you how pathetic many of us have become, how political
correctness is a disease of our times.

What they were really doing was assembling bombs to kill infidels. ; )

Nah, the biggest sin is that you have a Facebook page. Geez. Though
at least one of the pics on there is... impressive?

If it's at all possible, every man should have a '10' gal once in his life :)
GDS
"Let's roll!"
Had a few of them...all totally fucking trouble.
Here's a story. A girl I dated within the past few months was a
Banana Republic model...I can provide pics if necessary. So, one
time, the kids' mom called to talk to them in between texting this
girl at the grocery store. So, they took the phone and the battery
ran dead, consequently I was unable to reply. 40m later I returned
home, and popped in a fresh battery, only to see an increasing
sequence of txts from her culminating in "I don't need to be ignored
by you, have a nice life." LOL
So, I let her cool off for a few days. The next time, I was putting
my kids to bed, didn't repond for NINE minutes, and it was "should I
assume you are talking to your ex wife???" and shit like that. 9
minutes. So I basically told her to get lost. Within a few days it
was "I am pregnant, Trav." Straight out of the psychochick playbook.
I just had to laugh at it. She just went off the reservation totally.
So, hadn't spoken to her for a few months, hit her up the other
day...well, she's dating some guy or whatever. So, what happens, she
booty calls me at 1a Thursday night. LOL. I mean, c'mon...trouble
from the word go. Tryin to get together with me and I'm like hey I
may have other plans this weekend and she starts getting JEALOUS. A
girl w/ a bf who is trying to cheat is getting jealous because I might
be seeing somebody.
This is by no means aberrant behavior for hot chicks. That indian
girl I had a pic of up somewhere, she was the same way. They're
fucking crazy. The exwife was probably a 9 but had 10 magnetism and
she was just utterly screwball nuts.
But you're right...every guy should get a 10 at one point just to
discover for himself why they are single and why you see guys married
to chicks that are goodlooking but not dropdead hot. Unfortunately
for me, I seem to draw these girls like flies. If you put me in
contact with them, I'm gonna draw them and be the victim of this
insanity.
Trav
Of *course* it is necessary. Pics or it didn't happen.
Send me an em and I'll send u a photo of her
Trav
While I'm pathetic, married, and desparate, I'm not quite that hard up
- I believe you. :)
Naaaah....they were just hitting back ot those who had fucked them over
for over a century.

You keep pretending like you have money....they will come.
Its the promise of a payday, not your looks.
