1967 and 2007 - Knobby Walsh - 12-10-2007 11:09 AM
Fine explaination of what political correctness, "crack down on crime," and politicans has
done to sissify this country.............

end up buddies.

Mark. They are charged with assault and both are expelled even
though Johnny started it.

paddling. Returns to class, sits still and does not disrupt class
again.
2007 - Jeffrey is given huge doses of Ritalin. Becomes a zombie.

college, and becomes a successful businessman.

The first scenario you mentioned is pretty dumb, considering he could have just killed anyone at any time. While the second can be a large overreaction, it is the smarter thing to do.

"if you live in America you have to speak English?" bullshit. let's make everybody learn Navajo and Sioux and Cherokee, that's the real "American" way of speaking. dude, that's just stupid. the whole point of a "free" country is that you don't have to abandon your culture just to get by. yeah, life will be harder if you don't learn it, but nobody should be forced.
- Darthmat - 12-10-2007 12:11 PM
I never said learning anything should be enforced, but i think English still should be learned in an English speaking place,

This country has become so fucked up over the last 40 years. Imagine what it'll be like in 2027. Schools really need to be abolished.
- Freak - 12-11-2007 05:53 AM
This isn't about the school system it's about the American political system.
From the invading fundies into the white house to the general retardedness/apathy/ignorance of the American population.
- Darthmat - 12-11-2007 08:54 AM
Back then the kid could've just as easily pulled the trigger.
- Darthmat - 12-11-2007 09:01 AM
Ah, but it's not political correctness's fault that a kid would do it now a-days.

[quote="darthmat"][ I agree with that one, you live in America you should speak English.

Why is that?
You live in a land originaly inhabited by aborigionals, do you speak a native american language Mathew?
P.S Using your name sounded more dramatic.

'Cus nowadays we speak English, whether it's good or not is not relevant.
- Rebelnerd - 12-11-2007 11:23 AM
who's "we?" becuase the last time i looked, spanish was very, very widely spoken in the US.

We=Most of the U.S.

I got an example...
Timmy tilder has no friends because he not really outgoing in his social life, dresses and acts funny and he has no interest in sports or extra curricular activities.
1967
Timmy is picked on by peers and isolated from social gatherings but other than that timmy is fine .
He gets along on his own.
2007
People still ridicule him and they don't talk to him but now the teachers notice how different timmy is and now they think
he can be a threat to the students, himself but most importantly the school officials and so the teacher marks his name down and sends it to the office where they add it to a troubled kid list next to their lists of drug users and suspected drug users.
When timmy writes or draws something violent or gets a referal (Depending on the situation) They will then talk to his parents and will recommend some kind of action.
This I know from experience....
