Zero Tolerance in Schools FTW

Only in America
on a similar note anyone hear about that bloke flying a plane into that building cos he reckoned his tax was too high

My sentiments lie with CR29's and Rosetta's posts. That's really not funny at all.

I don't think kevstah was saying that to just be an ass. Unless you all know the story he's talking about, the building could have been empty. I think you all are freaking out for no reason and just like to jump on people for the littlest thing. I've seen it in multiple threads.

Back on topic, the zero tolerance policies due seem to be getting out of hand. I like how they say everything can be a weapon, but they still allow spoons and knives at lunch. Or you have pencils and pens. All those can be used to hurt someone. SO technically they should just arrest everyone then.

How fucking ignorant...

A software engineer furious with the Internal Revenue Service launched a suicide attack on the agency Thursday by crashing his small plane into an office building containing nearly 200 IRS employees, setting off a raging fire that sent workers running for their lives.

The littlest thing, huh? Since when is making jokes about someone flying a plane into a building a 'little thing'? This wasn't just any suicide. This guy was trying to kill people. If you would watch the news or, God forbid, read a newspaper, you would be abreast to some of the things going on in the real world.

Someone please lock this before it gets more outta hand.

[Lilith]

I agree Karui. As soon as you say something they don't like they call names and start fights.

"They" tend to not take kindly to ignorance and immaturity. If you don't like it, you don't have to post here anymore.

What Rosetta and CR29 said. Honestly, do you think they would have said anything had they not know the story he was referring to? They don't jump on them for nothing. They merely state what should be said.

Was it funny when those two kids from Columbine shot their school up? Or when the planes crashed into the Twin Towers and the Pentagon? This is in the same vein. It was an attack on a government building with the intent to kill innocent people.

Saying that we like to jump on people for little things? That's NOT fucking little at all. If someone finds that shit funny, they're a piece of shit and don't even deserve to be considered human.

[Canas Renvall]

...Yes, because "Remember the guy who flew a plane into a building because he thought his taxes were too high? " is something I'm just supposed to like seeing. People could've died. Forgive me for not liking that.

[Lilith]

I don't find that funny at all. More people could have been killed. Or do you just find it amusing that innocent people die just for going to work to support themselves? If so, you're an asshole.

Once again with the name calling. Jeez. It doesn't matter if you disagree with someone, you don't need to jump on their asses and be mean about it. Just say I don't think that's funny. Or say something angrily to them outside of the thread if you feel compelled to do so. Oh, and of course someone HAD to mention to 911 thing. I wish people would be quiet about all that stuff that happened years ago. Yeah it sucked, but there's no sense in bringing it up constantly. It just reopens old wounds that need to heal.

That's because it was a serious fucking deal. How immature are you that you think an incident that killed many, ruined lives, and spiraled a nation into a war can be something people can simply "get over"? You're naive, kid. People on this forum have had their lives affected by 9-11. People on this forum know people that were killed. Why dont you get over trying to play forum diplomacy and leave that stuff to the mods that actually know what they are doing?

[Vector]

I don't even know where to start with this.

That 9/11 "thing," huh? How absolutely adorable.

That 9/11 "thing" that killed over three thousand people and changed the landscape of our country and the world forever. That 9/11 "thing" that ruined the lives of countless children who lost their fathers and mothers, and subsequently even MORE lives of families who lost their loved ones in the subsequent wars overseas.

You know, that 9/11 "thing" that leaves my Uncle Richie, a NYPD traffic officer who saved dozens of lives on that day, with many health problems including a surgery on his shoulder that he just had a few weeks ago, and the irreperable lung damage from the inhalation of soot when the Towers collapsed.

Yeah, and that 9/11 "thing" that lead my Uncle Chris, my Uncle Richie's brother, to re-enlist in the Army to defend his country's honor and, in his own words, 'seek a little bit of revenge for my brother,' and serve two tours in Iraq as a Military Policeman, losing friends and comrades, and a tour in Guantanamo Bay Prison where the detainees would try revolting on Christmas morning...all the while his piece of shit wife was cheating on him at home and ruining their family while he risked his life day in and day out.

You talk about re-opening wounds that need to heal? Think about that the next time you make such a completely fucking rudely insensitive comment.


...all because of that 9/11 "thing." Get a fucking clue, you insensitive cretin.

NOW you can bitch about me 'name-calling.'

[Lilith]

I can say whatever I want just like the two of you can. I tried taking this mess out of the thread, but was told to shut up. So now I'm back.

No. I'm not trying to be a mod. You can take offense to things others said, so fine. I then have a right to take offense to what you have said.

I just don'tlike people automatically judging others. Sorry if offended you, but everyone offends others at some point accidentally.

While you may feel I'm insensitive, immature, or a cretin, that's fine, it is your opinion. I personally disagree. There is no need for name calling. I'm sorry about your uncle, but his cheating wife had nothing to do with 911, and I wasn't the one who brought that whole fiasco up to begin with.

How come when someone disagrees on this site they are automatically attacked? And those who attack don't seem to get punished?

[Ray]

@ the article itself: Wow. I know she shouldn't have done that to the desk (and probably should have been punished), but getting arrested!?!? That's strange.

@ the arguments: kind of scary. Not even just off-topic, now, just plain scary. Seems like this can turn into something worse than a debate. Sorry, just wanted the say the arguments kind of got out of hand. :|

I agree. Hence, why I tried to take it out of the thread. I was told to shut up. This whole thread and the mean comments have been reported to the mods.

[Canas Renvall]

^ They're only attacked when they're making incredibly rude comments like Kevstah's. Or more recently, yours. As CR29 said, 9/11 wasn't just a "thing". Dunno if you noticed, but we've been at war for nine years because of it. It single-handedly started the war on terror. Thousands died in the initial plane crashes, and tens of thousands in the following years of war. It's not just a "thing".

And I try not to judge (as you did apologize), but... that just seemed so off-color.

Sorry for jumping you like that. But it's a very, very touchy subject in which one should expect to get lots of mixed replies from when talked about.
