Oh Ace, you are so cynical. That's the kind of panic that saves imaginary lives from imaginary shootings.


You know, just like how making all kinds of New Rules on campus saves women from imaginary rapes.

Just like how everyone is making believe that obamacare accomplished what it was supposed to instead of the exact opposite.

The panic wasn't over fear of a gun.

The panic [or, rather, the faux-panic] was over the fact the child said a forbidden word.

47 And this is why I homeschool.

Also, fun story.

A few days ago I was checking the mail and saw the kid across the street (maybe 11 or 12?) loading a Scary Black Assault Rifle (or, as normal people know it, a hunting rifle) into the back of his family's car. I did not run inside to call the UN or the FBI. As I walked back, his dad was loading everyone else in the car, including a 3 year old girl wearing adorable camo.

Yes. It was a family going hunting. THE HORROR. THE HORROR.

55 When I was a high school kid in California, I took shop. We had to decide on a shop project. Well, I took too long so the shop instructor chose me a project. Two days a week, I would go up to the Principle's office, retrieve his Weatherby 30-06 rifle, and tote it all the way across the school campus to the wood shop, where I worked on his gun case. Nobody said anything, nobody looked at me twice after the first week. Imagine that scene now in the age of leftard stupidity.

Honest to Christ, my junior high school equated chewing gum with vandalism, it was that serious of an offense.

They are training the kids to fear and hate guns.

They've banned drawings of guns.
They've suspended a student for bringing in a water gun.
They've suspended a student for bringing in a Lego figure holding a teeny-tiny gun.
They've suspended a student for chewing a pop-tart into the shape of a gun.
They've suspended a student for pointing and shooting a finger gun during recess.
Now they created a lock-down panic at the (imaginary) mention of a gun.

This is intentional, this is brainwashing kids.

It is not Zero Tolerance, It is Zero Intelligence. Most of these Education Professionals are to put it mildly, SHTUUUPID!!

Notce how they advance in their positions. It is by putting in time, and taking more college classes to get advanced degrees. Have you ever taken a University Education Department Class? Regurgitate the proper pablum and you get an "A"

They and their union will fight Tooth and Nail to never, ever take an Aptitude Test or a test on the subjects they teach. Because the few times those tests were required, a huge proportion of these credentialed cretins failed.

112 Army basic was a bit more difficult in 1987, when DSs could call female troops cunts, whores, bitches, etc, and the males and female troops were segregated, just like the Marines. I doubt Marine DIs could call female recruits those names now, especially if they're male.

Army basic 2001 was a shock to the system.

Army basic now is beyond a joke...especially with the changes they just made according to the Army Times.

My son was obsessed with drawing crime scenes (with police tape, ambulances, etc.) and CSI. Fortunately his private school was fine with it. In fact, at the class poetry reading his CSI poem didn't stick out much next to the other poems (by boys) about war video games, archery, etc.

When the mistake became clear, police were called to the scene, he said.

This is triply stupid:

1) All based on something some child thought he heard.

2) So what if the kid had said "gun", anyway? Is that word the basis for a total lockdown, these days?

3) What is with the insane lowlifes running schools these days locking the place down every time the wind blows above 7 mph? Are they trying to turn the students into paranoid lunatics just like themselves? (Yeah, stupid question)

When I was in elementary school we used to sit waiting by the radio to hear our school number called while there was a foot of snow on the ground and more coming down ... to no avail. They wouldn't close school for snow unless it was some historic blizzard - truly historic. For my nephew's elementary school last winter, they closed the school at noon because there was a PREDICTION of a few inches of snow (which never came, BTW). Utterly insane.

They shouldn't call them "public schools" anymore. They should call them "Pussy Academies" - and not the good kind.

I am now the official "recess duty" supervisor, which means they pay me $20 to watch the kids while they eat lunch and run around, so the teachers can eat their lunches in peace. When the principal interviewed me, she asked what I would do if I saw two kids fighting.

My first response was, usually there aren't just two, once it gets started. But, be that as it may, it would be time to grab backs of collars and shipping each kid to a different corner.

She told me they prefer to not use "physical violence" to separate children.

If you bought them from the Gas Station From Hell where I used to work, they damn sure might have.

198 3) What is with the insane lowlifes running schools these days locking the place down every time the wind blows above 7 mph? Are they trying to turn the students into paranoid lunatics just like themselves? (Yeah, stupid question)

When I was in elementary school we used to sit waiting by the radio to hear our school number called while there was a foot of snow on the ground and more coming down ... to no avail. They wouldn't close school for snow unless it was some historic blizzard - truly historic. For my nephew's elementary school last winter, they closed the school at noon because there was a PREDICTION of a few inches of snow (which never came, BTW). Utterly insane.

They shouldn't call them "public schools" anymore. They should call them "Pussy Academies" - and not the good kind.

Back in 1977 we got a new Suprintendent for the New Year. About January 10th and the fifth snowstorm of the year, he cancelled classes because of the storm. Two days later we are all at a school, and our teachers are all saying he made a mistake, because he was used to Michigan lake effect snow storms, and tell your parents to STOP CALLING!!!

I remember Rodney Dangerfield telling a story about how he once came home late, after everyone was already asleep, so he kept the lights off as he smoked some weed to relax. Wandered into the kitchen for a snack and saw a cake on the counter. After eating about half the cake, he got up to refill his glass of milk and he saw something on the counter. Turns the lights on and sees that the remaining cake is being swarmed with ants.

223 One winter a storm dumped two feet of snow overnight (on top of a foot and a half of accumulated). We waited by the radio, hoping to hear of school cancellation--every school district but ours. So we tossed our little sister in a toboggan, dragged her to her babysitter, then trudged the mile to school. Like everyone else.

Posted by: Turd Ferguson at October 15, 2015 07:19 PM (VAsIq)

224 I went to twelve years of public school in Alaska. School was cancelled due to weather exactly one day of all of those years. We did not have "in service" days, or days off for teacher conferences, or spring break, or any of the other excuses for teachers to sit on their rumps and pull a paycheck.

We also learned science, mathematics, grammar, and real history, including memorization of things like names and dates and multiplication tables. We sat indian style, we played smear the queer on the playground, we used sleds with metal runners and went ice skating at lunch time, and we threw snowballs at one another. In high school, my truck had a full gun rack in the rear window.

Apparently, not one of those things happen at my son's school, or if they do, they involve suspensions and such. I'm pretty sure this is the result of letting all the nancy boys go to teachers college. I doubt many of the parents think any of this lightweight nonsense is the way to go.

382 Nip, Dale's should be painted on your steak (or chicken or burger) all over just once prior to cooking. Be sure to paint the sides, too.

I've been using it exclusively for a long, long time. When I moved down here, Publix didn't carry it. I talked the local store's manager into getting it (he'd never even heard of it) and within a few months, it was in every store here.

Some of the information you included is new to me, so I will have to look at some other sources of Jewish/Israeli information that I have found to be trustworthy in the past. I appreciate the time you took to carefully lay out your point of view. Most of the time, readers here will tend to stay on the top-most thread, or perhaps the one just prior to it, so don't be disappointed if you get a low level of response. Thank you for the material you presented. I appreciate learning new things, new to me, at least.

Why of course. This site is in what is erroneously called the "West Bank." (It is really Judea and Samaria.) Israel's elites want to sever, as much as possible, any significant Biblical ties with the Land. Judea and Samaria contain the lion's share of the most important sites. The Temple Mount is the most important site, and Jews neither run it nor can pray there.
Surely some of you have wondered about that.

skion I appreciate your more thorough remarks

the settlements you refer to are sometimes apartment buildings across the highway in Jerusalem

those people are Jewish working class, not religious nuts

Israel is very dependant on foreign investment. Not loans, but business investment. They are petrified of the BDS movement, which compares Israel to South African apartheid and advocates economic isolation as the cure

this would destroy Israel's economy

I love your solution of removing all arabs from Israel. I think it is the only workable solution. However, no matter how much you or I like it, the rest of the world would destroy Israel's economy for it

Posted by: ThunderB at October 15, 2015 08:19 PM (zOTsN)
I'm glad I've cleared some things up, ThunderB. First, I am strongly for the settlements. All of Eretz Israeli is Jewish Land. Second, regarding foreign investment and so forth, I see why you believe this is a main cause of elite behavior. The thing is, by allowing this problem to fester for decades while playing domestic political games, the whole BDS movement has been allowed to develop. Machiavelli tells us that if one is doing something unpleasant, do it quickly. If it must be done in stages, do it in rapid stages that will cause the Fakestinians to "self-deport." At least some of Israel's trade partners would not care one bit what Israel did with the Muslims. Oh, they might posture, briefly. I mean really: China? Russia? India?Yes, there will be screams. But I really do think the result is achievable.Finally, I maintain that elites really don't want a very Jewish Israel. That's why the Temple Mount is run the Muslims, and it's why the elites, whichever are in the ascendant at any given time, try to give that land away. They can scream about "US pressure" and "BDS," but I strongly believe that this concern is mainly a red herring.

Posted by: grammie winger, Isa al-Masih for muslims too at October 15, 2015 08:21 PM (dFi94)"It already has in terms of Bethlehem, which has been controlled by the Palestinians Authority under Oslo. It used to be that Bethlehem was mainly a Christian town. After Oslo most Christians have fled (with reason). Some Christian tourists making a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Israel still go there, of course.Some of the most important Biblical sites are in such dangerous areas that tourism there is way down. But yes, tourism would go down much more, especially if any of Jerusalem were controlled by Muslims.
