Gee Queue's Comments

The comments here are a prime example of why the divorce rate is so high. You people have no clue what love actually feels like. Today, people go out, if they don't hate each other, they just keep taking "the next step" til they get married. I, personally, am a fan of "I will humiliate myself for you because the ONLY thing that matters to me is your happiness, so I will put myself out there in a grand and ridiculous way and give you the power to destroy me in hopes that you feel the same way for me that I do for you" love. It is the same kind of love that kept my grandparents together til the day she died. It is the same kind of love that he simply could not live without. It is the same kind of love that has kept my parents together in spite of the trials they have faced. It is the kind of love that I want.

I feel REALLY sorry for some of you.

Love is supposed to be reserved and ridiculous, silly and sublime, passionate and patient.

Some of you must be REALLY miserable.

I would also like to add to my novel above, Judge Ted Poe in Texas was a judge who was famous for doing this. He also had the lowest recidivism rate in the state. Making someone wear a sign saying they did something dumb on a street corner garnered more results than putting them in jail. Go figure.

Wow. I cannot believe that you think the TEACHER is to blame here.

First, it was the student's PARENT who imposed this punishment on him.

Second, kids who act up will continue to act up until they are given an incentive to no longer act up. For some, that is positive reinforcement, for others, it is a spanking. The story said that this was the final straw, so that leads me to believe, reasonably, that this student had a history of this behavior and previous punishments had not worked.

The concept that you shouldn't punish someone because that punishment might reflect on the rest of their life is asinine. It is called consequences. Our actions have them.

This was certainly better than expulsion. If it taught him a lesson, it was well worth it. Also, as a society, we have a very short attention span. So even if his teacher NEXT year recognizes him, it likely won't make a difference...unless he CONTINUES to be a bad seed.

The more we, as a society, move away from making people accountable for their actions and move in to the nanny-state, pampered children society that we are now where a spanking is considered abuse and kids are no longer afraid of their parents or authority figures, therefore they have no respect for them, the worse we are going to be.

When I was in school, they had a "Paddle Permit" signed by my parents authorizing the school to, if the Principal deemed necessary (and they conferred with the parents), paddle a student as a consequence. This was not the FIRST consequence, it wasn't even the third or fifth. I got paddled the first time on the EIGTH time I broke the SAME rather serious rule. Then I went home and got it from my mom, and then my dad when he got home. I didn't do it again.

Now, kids have no respect for authority because they know there is nothing that can be done to them. All they have to do is even INSINUATE child abuse and a parent is in trouble.

The current generation of children is terrible...I can't imagine my kids kids generation.

Yet more evidence that racism is not only ok, but it is cool, so long as it is directed at white people.

Gentrification has NOTHING to do with race. Do you think there isn't gentrification in cities like Nairobi or Cairo or Bangkok or Beijing?

Gentrification is a good thing in 99.9% of the cases. Many of the residents of a gentrified area actually benefit from it. It isn't as if the poor are herded out and the rich move in. Gentrification is a slow process and many of original residents actually profit from it as well.

That said, this "art work" is taking a decidedly racial and subsequently racist direction. If it was the other way around, Al Sharpton would be sporting wood right now and couldn't file the law suit fast enough.

Wow. Easy enough mistake to make, though it was a dumb one as well. I just hope no one below got hurt by it coming crushing down.

The manufacturer of that trailer should use this as marketing materials though. Demonstrating the ruggedness and durability of their products.

So we're not supposed to look out for our neighbor's well being now?

To call it murder is idiotic. To rely on the police to protect you is idiotic as well. This isn't their job. Their job is to prevent crime when possible and investigate it afterward. It is our job to defend ourselves.

I wouldn't call Horn the sharpest stick in the barrel, but he certainly isn't a murderer.
