Well, isn't that too sweet! I vote for sending her to another country.

The girl is actually a pacifist. Anarchists aren't necessarily pacifists. Many do actually believe in organization (contrary to the common joke about that.)

But anarchists want a sort of spontaneous order which I think history has shown is not particularly robust. Hence I myself am a minarchist -- minimist government, police, courts of last resort, and national defense.

Clearly we have to kill the terrorists before they kill us and impose Islam on the survivors. So even us miniarchists say "bombs away!" We are not pacifists. We believe in self-defense.

I know lots of youngsters are pacifists -- its a fallacy of thinking that they can grow out of. :-)

"I think that what we're doing to them is just as bad as what they did to us, and I think it needs to be stopped."

Katie, they stole the silverware and we asked for it back- then they stole some antiques, and then we wanted those back, ...

and if Bill had a chance he would steal a mummy about as old as you and go out with her--it really needs to be stopped, don't you agree?

Would an anarchy club elect officers and vote on by-laws? Would they have rules and a sgt at arms to enforce those rules? It seems to me that an anarchy club is an oxymoron.

This little clymer needs to get her terms straight first of all, and realize that peace requires more rules than she would want.

"She shouldn't be singled out," said Amy Sierra, who wore an American flag sticker on her shirt.

She singled herself out.

Well, isn't that too sweet! I vote for sending her to another country.

I guess it's a good thing we don't have a democracy in this country where the majority could vote to send a person to another country for holding views contrary to theirs.

The girl is fifteen years old and thinks like it. She is wrong, IMO, but her views should not subject her to the loss of her first amendment rights. Whether or not she is allowed to do certain things on school time is an entirely different matter.

She is just looking for attention and is almost certainly apeing the views of one or the other of her parents. My guess is that very few would join her club in any case.

People have died to insure that unpopular opinions can be expressed. I would assert my second amendment rights in defense of her uninformed and wrong-headed opinions.

[Paul Atreides]

Let me guess: she wears grimy hip-hugger bell bottoms, clunky Herman Munster shoes or Birkenstocks, a ratty t-shirt with her own idiotic sayings written on it, a face full of piercings, greasy hair, pale as a cadaver, no original thought in her head, and the disposition of someone weaned on a skunk's tail.

Maybe she has been down to UNCW...

This is all this country needs, some 15 year old kid that thinks they have it all figured out running around pushing their pamphlets in our faces.

Can't help but remember a kid putting a picture of a fighter plane dropping bombs in Afghanastan in his locker and he was made to take it down. Now someone like this wants to be allowed to run around at school, no doubt tossing flowers everywhere shouting "Free love, peace man".

If she was to be allowed to do this the school system should allow the plane pictures back. Because he was just expressing his own feelings, what about his rights under the first amendment?

I'm sure the little geek would just sit back in silence if someone formed a Get Bin Laden club.

... her mother, Amy, filed a complaint ...

There's the problem.

[ozzymandus]

This stupid kid saw something about "anarchists" during the WTO riots, and decided to be cool like those other morons who trashed Starbuck's. Ten bucks says the brat couldn't define anarchy if she tried. It's the mother that needs to be punished for dereliction of duty.

[tinlady]

The lawsuit accuses school officials of denying Sierra her constitutional rights, subjecting her to public abuse and jeopardizing her ability to get an education.

How on earth are school officials responsible for "subjecting her to public abuse"? Seems to me the little airhead invited all the public abuse she can take by her own actions. She's a spoiled teenager with a parent or parents that are doing her a grave injustice by not letting her peers at school give her the usual high school response to an unpopular idea - freeze her out!

Hey, I'm all for whirled peas, too but I'm not starting a club around it.

"Mommy, I'm not a lesbian anymore. I'm an anarchist"
"That's nice dear. Did you pick up your room?"
"Anarchists don't pick up their room, mom. Can I have some money to go to the mall and buy anarchists' clothes? Gap has some really cool black T-shirts. "
"Can't you wear your nice Rainbow shirts? They are brand new"
"MOTHER! They are SO yesterday. Everyone's a lesbian now. If you don't let me be an anarchist, I'll be so angry and quit school and won't get into college and..."
"OK OK here's my Mastercard"
"Oh mother, that is so corporate. Give me your ATM card and I'll get cash".
"Be home for dinner. We are having steak"
"I think anarchists are vegetarians so I'll just have a small piece. And I have to take the BMW because it's black. If Karla calls, tell her I quit PFLAG and I'm starting an Anarchist Club and she just has to join or she can't be my friend. "

"will not tolerate hate or violence."

Oh gee, here we go again. Wasn't it enough to watch those people jump from WTC to know that some evil doers just have to be killed? Someone should slap the little queen until she asks for help, gets none, and then reconsiders her 'philosophy.'

Whenever you argue with these types and they propose a course of action, it is only because others are willing to die for their ridiculous principles that they can even conceive them. Those silly ideas are never tested in any harsh environment with people who reject outright their substance. The restraint on critics of the little brat is enforced by the death of those who opposed her worst enemies and she doesn't even appreciate it.

The image of those who jumped from WTC is enough to understand why there is no collateral damage, either with us or with them.
