Creative cruelty.

I walked two miles to school in a snow storm on many occasions. I really did.

What has happened to this country?

Alcohol is a hell of a drug

Trayvon walked .7 miles each way, to get his little brother Skittles, while his dad sat at home shortly before the NBA Allstar game that started at 7:30pm est.

My junior high coach used to makes us RUN two miles in the rain when I was 12. This was after I had to walk two miles in the rain just to get to school.

Who do I sue?

[Irenic]

Oh...in the rain.

[Sacajaweau]

And without a hoodie...

“I want you to stop stealing my Vodka!” Shut up little man!LOL!

[Irenic]

Yeah, this kid got wet...

I walked 8 miles in the rain once when I was in training for a 60 mile walk. It was a pretty stupid thing to do. I got chilled and developed pneumonia but I survived. (I was 62 at the time).

Meh, not a big deal.

Should have taken her Camels, then he’d only have to walk a mile.

A smart drunkard mother would have given him a bag of potatoes, yeast, sugar, water and distilling equipment and grounded him until he’d replaced the vodka.

I walked (hopped) 5 miles with a 40lb. back pack and caring a M14 with a dislocated heel while I was in Boot camp..... Had no rights to complain. Can I get Sharpton to take my case?

[driftdiver]

well obviously you think this is ok

You were lucky to have just rain. When I was 12 I had to walk in 3 feet of snow in June 2 miles to school all up hill both ways in the dark.

"I walked two miles to school in a snow storm on many occasions."

There was no such thing as being bussed to school when I was in my teens. I lived in Rochester, NY. We didn't have a car, and I walked over a mile every morning, in all kinds of weather, to get to school. Then walked back home when school was done.

Making people walk over a mile is now Cruel and Unusual punishment. It’s clearly unConstitutional.
