What you said times 1 million.

Take back this country. Start with the schools.

[Carriage Hill]

Nice shooting!

[piytar]

No, I mistook it for a forum where I didn’t have to agree with the status quo and could exercise my 1st Amendment rights

You also clearly don't know squat about the First Amendment. This is a privately owned site, not government run or funded. Ergo, the First Amendment is not invoked.

Bye...

SO...LONG!
FAREWELL!
ADIOS!
AUF WIEDERSEHEN!

The teacher saw a student with a worthless piece of brass and over-reacted because that’s what liberals do!

[Vendome]

It’s not an empty brass tube, it’s a shell casing. It’s not a toy and it’s not for kids. The school has no way of knowing where it came from, how it was emptied, or whether it’s been tampered with in some half-assed attempt at reloading. In other words, it’s still potentially dangerous to other students, and that is most definitely the school’s business and their responsibility.

If the school has a specific policy against bringing ammo to school, then this kid violated it. Go easy on him with the silent lunch, but don’t pretend it’s okay to bring something like this to school.

If you fell into a pond they’d be skimming all kinds stupid for the surface for at least a week.

An empty round is no longer dangerous and you know it.

Good riddance.

That's a great-lookin' Tactical pen. d:^)

[RitaOK]

ROTFL!! LUUUUUUV IT! Hilarious!

[lacrew]

I still have a very vivid memory - I was standing at attention and a family member approached me....and he said something like “I know you cant speak but I just want to say thank you”.

It made me realize how important it was to the families.

[skinkinthegrass]

Way To GO! rave on!..pssstttt!

[skinkinthegrass]

Nice shooting!*snicker* More like shootin' Fish in a barrel!...

>>In Vietnam we were sometimes left with having to dine on Korean War vintage C-Rats.<<

In ‘65 I ate some from the late 40’s. June 1947, 3 mos older than I was at the time.

You know, 50 years ago, the teacher would have taken it away, and given it back to you after school was over for the day.

No big deal.

Now, they had to traumatize and ostracize a little seven year old kid over nothing.

To a 7 year old, to be given something like this at a ceremony like the 9/11 one would be abig deal to them.

so much for our educated educators understanding how children see the world.

The principal should have to have a “silent lunch”—for a week.

[TigersEye]

It would be perfect for writing the school and informing them that your child will no longer be attending their abusive indoctrination center. ;-)

[SandRat]

MINE IS STILL ON MY KEY CHAIN. IT’S BEEN THERE SINCE AUGUST OF 1969.

[BuckeyeTexan]

Oh my goodness. Absolutely, 100% too ignorant to be a Freeper.

[DuncanWaring]

He’s gone.

fine knives and other, fine sharp pointy things

Yikes!! THAT is one, giant fire Zot-kitteh!!

Fatal error was quoting Janet Napolitano. That’s NEVER a good idea!
