Wanting to just watch her and another guy? He's a closet something alright. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

Hanging out at the DZ will fix both of those for you. I think Bolas is already offering. Hey Everyone. Should we tell her about Bolas? Yes. Warn her. Forbid her. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

Had you returned the tent once you discovered for sure it was not going to meet your needs (both future and immediate), that would have been fine. However, it did meet your needs, at least as far as for that trip. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh. -

Students Kicked Off Campus for Wearing American Flag Tees on Cinco de Mayo

Agree and agree. Asking all to remove all flag clothes and then banning them would have been acceptable as all are treated equally. It's shitty and it's unfair, but it's consistent. -

Except for the fact it's mentioned in the article/video that they dressed like this all the time. No where does it state they were "thumbing their noses" either. They just went about their normal day. The fact that you keep referring to them as punks speaks volumes as well to your complete inability to be objective. Don't you think if there had been any verbal or nonverbal agression shown by these kids the principle would have stated that to support his reasoning? I've yet to find any mention of anything even remotely overt. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh. -

The powers of paraphrasing. A mere few lines apart in the same article. It would appear that whatever his intentions, the outcome could still be the same. I don't support the principles actions. I do condemn the students serious lack of judgement. Students lack of judgement? When did standing up and not being intimidated by gangs become a bad thing? Not standing up for yourself and choosing your battles are two different things. They created an issue where there didn't need to be one. Interesting. Everything I've read so far seems to indicate there was no issue at all until this VP stepped in which has since made it a national/international issue. Some may misunderstand those that are upset at this biased treatment and construe it as they are upset that mexicans were wearing flag shirts. I'm sure it now has been twisted many different ways to support one's personal agenda and viewpoints, hell just look at some the posts on here.

That's a general attack. It has to be personal. Stupid Fucker

Moral is a subjective term. Between consenting adults, legality should be the only restriction.

That's a great visual. But the squeaking would be a distraction Wendy P. The grease prevents the squeaking. Errr, so I'm told. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

The mexican americans were shown preferential treatment. Why are they protesting? I like the quote of one kid, "It's disrespectful, we wouldn't wear our Mexico shirts on the 4th of July and shout 'Viva Mexico!'" Free speach does not cover disrespecting/disagreeing with people. I could care less what others wear on the 4th of July. If they shout "Viva Mexico", so what? The only time I might have a problem with it is if they came right up in front of my face and shouted it directly. Of course at that point it's less a matter of what they are saying tand more of how it's being done.

Everybody living has desires and or obsessive cravings to deviate form acceptable behavior. Does the craving legitimize the behavior? Or do we just need a certain number of people all wanting the same thing to make the behavior acceptable? Or maybe we can simply it by saying, any behavior resulting from the random resequencing or mutation of genetic material will be considered acceptable. "Acceptable" is an objective term. Here's a thought: Let's just let consenting adults do to each other whatever they want without trying to "change" or "fix" them by guilting them into thinking they're "broken."

Yesterday, a listener’s son was offended that his school, Klein Collins High School, displayed the Mexican flag prominently. His mother called to complain, and the school wouldn’t return her call. The student took the sign down. The school pitched a fit, reviewed the surveillance tapes, found the student, and suspended him for 3 days. AND he has to pay for the flag. In light of the SF story of students sent home for wearing the AMERICAN flag because it offended the Hispanic students, I thought you’d like to know about a story closer to home. The student was wrong as he removed the flag. Had he placed an American Flag next to the Mexican flag or opposite of it and still gotten in trouble, that would have been wrong.

So just curious, when in your mind do you think that the acts of those multiple generations ago should be forgiven? How much time has to pass or what has to happen before you'd be willing to treat all people the same, regardless of race, gender, orientation. You have a severe case of white male guilt that seriously effects your judgement. I've learned to look past a person's genetics and treat all people equally as a starting point: not good or bad but neutral. -

If you eat it there, that's what the deal is. You're still doing the same thing as everyone else and you're not getting something for free, just maximizing your money. I normally eat all on my plate, but at a resturant like that, I don't quit unitl I can't finish what is in front of me. Like you, I take all you can eat as a challenge. Were you to start stuffing your pockets with food to take with you, that's another story as that's not part of the deal.

This was not made known in advance, it was decided on the spot by this one idiot VP. You talked about avoiding potential violence. You're forgetting another possible scenario: "WTF? We can't wear our US flag shirts yet they can wear their shirts?" "That's bullshit man." "Fuck this. Let's go kick their asses." And then you still have a race war. These kids by their actions of peacefully leaving showed they had no hostile intentions in their clothing choice.

Most, if not all, of the people explained what and why they thought the way they did. Some multiple times. Just because you choose to dismiss their explanations doesn't mean they weren't made.

If you think there isn't going to be a lawsuit over this and the way it was handled and his ass is not on the line right now... Edited to add: Ok. Forget it's the US or Mexican flag. Lets use Disney characters instead. They were celebrating Cinco de Mickey and a few kids that like Goofy more wore Goofy shirts and hats. They said nothing to the Mickey shirt/hat people or tried to start anything, just wore their shirts. If a VP was worried about an altercation, the best action would be to ban all Disney character clothing, not just one character. The biased treatment to prevent an altercation is what is the issue here, not the fact the VP tried to prevent one. Two arguments: * Was intervention even necessary? Unknown. * Was it handled poorly? Yes. Added: Just watched the vid on the link. The kids dress like this normally and one is half hispanic as well.
