Let's look at this objectively shall we?  A person who decides to name their children after Nazi leaders and the Aryan Nation probably isn't too stable.  Someone who would willingly subject their children to the criticism and stigma of names like those probably isn't a very productive person.  This isn't absolute of course, and these two people could be great parents.  All I'm saying is that there is reason to believe that these people might not be the best parents in the world based on their decision making.  Based on this strong possibility, don't you think that maybe they're capable of neglect and child endangerment?  If this is the case, which I'm not saying it certainly is, there is justification for the state to get involved.   Let's wait and see what the state's rationale is before we jump to conclusions about slave states.  I'm more Libertarian than anyone here, but society has a vested interest in maknig sure that parents don't abuse their children and thus create future criminals.  Abuse is a subjective term at times, but let's wait for all the details before we cry the sky is falling.

Psychotic people exist at almost any age.  Columbine is alot more complicated than simply blaming it on school bullying.  I don't dismiss that teenagers have problems, I simply don't believe their problems are generally unique or problems of any real concern.  I know it's not PC to say, but some people are just weak.  Simple fact of nature and we shouldn't cater to the victim mentality that perscibes zoloft and aderol for every teen that walks into a doctor's office.

More reasons why some countries should never have left colonial control.  Some people don't want to hear that under their utopian view of equality, but it's the truth.  It's sad to hear that people are starving, but what do you expect from these regimes.

I didn't do anything wrong.  You acted out, and rather than being an adult about it, you're still trying to place blame on me.  Frankly I don't care what you say about me.  You can call me a cocksucker all day long and I'll ignore it.  But don't stay here and play a victim as if I should be punished for expressing my generic opinion on teachers.  I don't care if your fiance is a teacher or not, I'm not going to censor my opinion on a profession becuase you're obviously not stable enough to hear a bad comment about a fucking job.

"Flagg this and Flagg that."  Fuck that shit.  I'll take my spanking when it's due, but I did nothing to provoke you.  Hell I didn't even know who you were on this forum until this outburst.  So be a man, admit you acted out.  I don't want or need an apology cause I couldn't care less what you think of me.  My life doesn't require validation from others.  I'll let the mods decide if they think they deserve an apology.  But please quit referencing me in your poor attempts at justification for your behavior.  No one came to your defense because you acted like a fool.  Plenty of people said my opinion was wrong, but none went into hysterics over it like you did.  Deal with it and if you don't like my posts, ignore them.  Feel free to give me bad karma too because you don't like the content of my posts.  That's another thing I'll lose sleep over tonight.

No doubt.  I openly admit I was a dipshit and asshole in High School.  I didn't give a fuck about any of it and to this day consider most of it a joke.  I didn't truly feel I was being educated until I started college.  To me high school was a check the box.  I knew then and have the credentials now to support my belief at the time that I was more intelligent and objective than the majority of those trying to teach me.  Take it for what it is:rock: 

I used to get out of class all the time in high school.  My freshman and sophomore year (1997) me and two of my friends were the computer gurus so we got excused from every class to install the school's network and brand new pentium II 333 mhz computers.  Later on I became the cadet commander of our JROTC program and was once again excused (many times I wrote my own pass) to get out of stuff that was not important to me.  Not saying I was right and that the teacher's were to blame for my attitude, that's just the way it was.  I would never let my son do the shit I did, but you grow and you learn. 

They threatened to expell me twice my senior year and revoke my scholarship.  You see, my school wasn't exactly wealthy and we didn't even have a theatre department until my junior year.  So they did the wizard of oz my junior year and everyone was happy.  Well my senior year, they did another play (I don't know what one, which you'll see in a moment) but decided rather than perform it for the students during the day, they were going to charge us 5$ to watch the play or we would sit in the cafetria and study.  I thought this was bullshit, so long story short I made a bunch of counterfit tickets and over half the student body had my free tickets by the start of the play.  So of course there is no such thing as a secret, and I didn't deny that I did it.  But because I didn't charge for the tickets, they couldn't really do anything even though teachers and the people in the play were screaming for my head.  So I got in school suspension and saturday school.

Then the coup de grace that really put in perspective how vindictive and moronic alot of teachers are occured mere weeks before I graduated.  As I understand it, most seniors have to do a research paper for their final english project.  Well, with most things at that point in my life, I didn't take it very seriously and certainly didn't turn in homework and other procedural bullshit my teacher wanted.  Not to give the idea that I didn't have good grades, I had a 3.3 GPA so make your own opinion.  But I certainly didn't play ball and bring in an updated status of my paper every week as was requested.  So long story short, in my paper I didn't cite my sources properly.  I wrote Randall Flagg said hi instead of Randall Flagg said "hi."  My teacher accused me of plagiarism because of this and was going to fail me.  To make the whole situation worse, my buddy Rick was bullshiting with me the day before she was going to give us our grades (I had no idea she was going to fail me) and was joking about how fucked up it would be if she failed us on our reports and we lost our scholarships because of it.  I laughed and he then said something to the affect of he'd have to pay that teacher back for ruining his life.  So this cunt of a teacher comes in the next day, and tells the principal that I threatened to kill her if she failed me.  That same teacher I mentioned in the last post got wind of this and tried to give me a heads up, but obviously couldn't give me the full story.  But word spreads fast and by lunch I knew what she had said and I was fucking pissed.  So being the dipshit 18 year old I was, I marched into the principal's office and dictated to him in a very authoritative tone that I was innocent and that she was full of shit verbatim.  He "corrected" my attitude and called her down.  I'll openly admit that I was at the point of tears at this point because I really thought I was going to get fucked for something I  didn't do.  Anyway, she ended up admitting that I never said it, but my friend Rick did and I didn't correct him when he said it so she assumed I was saying the same thing.  She ended up giving me 3 0s and 3 65s on the report instead of giving me 6 0s which is what she wanted to do.  I ended up actually studying the last few weeks, aced all my english test and got a D in English 12 and went to college on a full scholarship.

So was I a dipshit and asshole in high school?  You bet your ass.  But did I see a bunch of shallow, self-deluded and self-important assholes pass themselves off as educators?  You bet your ass.
