If you want to penetrate someone, do it with a knife!

Knives are for liberals who are fit enough to kill someone with physical force provided by their own body. If you want to penetrate someone then do it with a hollow-point bullet.
…Too Far…
What did that teacher have up his/her ass when he/she called this girl out for hugging a friend? I remember my middle school and my high school had a bunch of bullshit rules like this and while it upsets me to no end that children are forced to conform to rules like this, it doesn’t surprise me. I bet the schools policy on PDA came from complaints from parents. If schools want to be professional they shouldn’t ban “unprofessional” behavior like hugging. They should stop listening to the bitching parents who show up to parents association meetings and don’t know shit about how to deal with kids or what kids need.

[quote]What some pansy-ass parents said:
Coulter said she and her husband told their daughter to go ahead and serve her detentions because the only other option was a day of suspension for each skipped detention.

I can’t believe how passive the parents are being about this. I’d be raising hell. I’d be all over the asses of the superintendent and the principle. They couldn’t piss in peace without me being there to give them a swirly. Two days of detention would be 2 days of hell for those bastards. I could outsource telemarketers to call the old farts every 10 minutes without end, and pay unruly teenage punks to pull every unruly teenage prank in the book.
And fuck in-school detention. Suspension is way more fun. I’d take off work and have a couple days of father-daughter bonding. Shooting beer bottles, hitting the lunch specials at the topless bars, maiming homeless bums, or whatever teenage girls like to do at that age.

It’s obvious that they don’t know WHAT the kids need, if they have written policies like this.
Studies have shown that human contact and touch itself, in daily life, is not just essential for happiness and wellbeing, but for our very mental health.
There have been quite a few in-depth articles on this topic.
Putting everyone in a bubble of isolation from each other through such things as the increasing use of computers in classrooms, discouraging affectionate contact, and so forth, has more harmful effects than good. Not only does it affect their mental health, which can lead to depression and other problems, it denies these kids from developing vital social skills and the ability for empathy, which is something that makes us human.
What’s worse is that if a child does NOT develop properly during their formative stages, they are basically affected for life because the basic internal reference points for social skills, empathy, and so forth, are not there.
I’m currently in high school and i’m suprised that this story hasn’t occured earlier
a fair majority of high schools in my area have policies similar to this.
a lot of teachers have enough of a soul and common sense to not really enforce the rule unless people are dry humping in the halls.
i second johnny blaze’s statements.
My school has the same policy regarding public displays of affection, so far it has only amounted to kids being threatened with detention and suspension by the middle aged perpetually pms’ing hall monitors, for hand holding and hugging - but I don’t remember it ever being followed up with actual punishment.
There’s also a rule (not enforceable in any way that I can think of) that requires you to have a 3 foot radius of “personal space” between you and any other people in the hallway of the building, because hallways aren’t crowded or anything…nope.
I’d say I was shocked or something about this article, but I’ve seen equally stupid shit time after time (gatorade bottle without the plastic label on it - 1 week in school suspension, comes to mind right away.). It’s just going to keep getting worse with so many people bitching about being offended constantly too. Fun times ahead.
I remember this in my school, even tho I dont care either way realy, hugging is only one step away from playing grab ass in the hall ways and then you get sexual harrasment charges. In all honesty I dont blame the schools.
My elementary school had a room called the “big kids room” for grade 6 students. I used to fool around with girls in there all the time. I don’t think it turned me into a bad person.
wow, so if I were to hug a friend of mine in high school, I would get in trouble? Fuck that there are more things to worry about.
I can’t stand how the administration at schools are fucking retarded these days.
back when I was in high school, security was more concerned with the lenght of miniskirts then with people from outside the school coming in.
they should be caring about the people have sex in the cafeteria and not the people hugging. Hell, do they want all the kids nowadays to grow up emotionally disturbed?
Can’t believe that some of you fucks agree with these rules about hugging… time to get over yourselves or something, i don’t even know what the fuck could be wrong in your head. But seriously, Hugging=fine, holding hands=fine, kissing, grabbing, etc= not fine.
If you can’t be secure enough with your own self to see a little love between two people, whether friendship or dating, than it’s time to look at your own values, and not force shitty ones on others.
Even if a teacher turns a blind eye to a little peck in high school, that should be fine too.
Retarded ass prude values that make no sense whatsoever.
yeah thats pretty fucked up!
reminds me of this Incubus song, (ya I like the Morning View album ok! ;P)
“Bat your eyes girl, be otherworldly,
count your blessings, seduce a stranger.
What’s so wrong with being happy?
Kudos to those who see through sickness.”
the other verse: I suggest we learn to love ourselves before it’s made illegal.
When will we learn? When will we change?
Just in time to see it all fall down.
Those left standing… will make millions…
writing books on the way it should have been.
verse: Floating in this cosmic jacuzzi
we are like frogs oblivious to the water starting to boil.
No one flinches, we all float face down.

Sad, but so true it’s scary.

I think they wanted to give her detention so they can molest her.

Even worse is the superintendent who thought the penalty is fair because it was in line with their policy. FUCKING bearaucrats and suits! Why can’t they think in terms of human values instead of just policies on a piece of paper?
What kind of policy is this!? ““Displays of affection should not occur on the school campus at any time. It is in poor taste, reflects poor judgment, and brings discredit to the school and to the persons involved.””
That is just dehumanising and has more to to with public image than anything else.
No wonder school shootings happen, if school is a place where you can’t even show anybody any love.[/quote]
I think the wording of the policy discredits the school. I can’t take them seriously if they are judging others as having poor judgment and taste by PDAs, including hugging. They can ban PDAs, but they do not have the authority to say what is in good taste or judgment regarding this topic.
