I’ve got to pass this one on. It is a sad commentary on what our “enlightened” society has become!


Consider that three years of additional dysfunction and lawsuits have occurred since this was first written.

HIGH SCHOOL -- 1957 vs. 2007












Scenario 1:

Jack goes quail hunting before school and then pulls into the school parking lot with his shotgun in his truck's gun rack.

1957 - Vice Principal comes over, looks at Jack's shotgun, goes to his car and gets his shotgun to show Jack.

2007 - School goes into lock down, FBI called, Jack hauled off to jail and never sees his truck or gun again. Counselors called in for traumatized students and teachers.




Scenario 2:

Johnny and Mark get into a fist fight after school.

1957 - Crowd gathers. Mark wins. Johnny and Mark shake hands and end up buddies.

2007 - Police called and SWAT team arrives -- they arrest both Johnny and Mark. They are both charged them with assault and both expelled even though Johnny started it.

Scenario 3:

Jeffrey will not be still in class, he disrupts other students.


1957 - Jeffrey sent to the Principal's office and given a good paddling by the Principal. He then returns to class, sits still and does not disrupt class again.

2007 - Jeffrey is given huge doses of Ritalin. He becomes a zombie. He is then tested for ADD. The school gets extra money from the state because Jeffrey has a disability.



Scenario 4:

Billy breaks a window in his neighbor's car and his Dad gives him a whipping with his belt.
1957 - Billy is more careful next time, grows up normal, goes to college and becomes a successful businessman.

2007 - Billy's dad is arrested for child abuse. Billy is removed to foster care and joins a gang. The state psychologist is told by Billy's sister that she remembers being abused herself and their dad goes to prison. Billy's mom has an affair with the psychologist..



Scenario 5:

Mark gets a headache and takes some aspirin to school..

1957-Mark shares his aspirin with the Principal out on the smoking dock

2007 - The police are called and Mark is expelled from school for drug violations. His car is then searched for drugs and weapons.



Scenario 6:

Pedro fails high school English.







1957-Pedro goes to summer school, passes English and goes to college.







2007-Pedro's cause is taken up by state. Newspaper articles appear nationally explaining that teaching English as a requirement for graduation is racist.. ACLU files class action lawsuit against the state school system and Pedro's English teacher. English is then banned from core curriculum. Pedro is given his diploma anyway but ends up mowing lawns for a living because he cannot speak English.

Scenario 7:

Johnny takes apart leftover firecrackers from the Fourth of July, puts them in a model airplane paint bottle and blows up a red ant bed.

1957 -Ants die.

2007-ATF, Homeland Security and the FBI are all called. Johnny is charged with domestic terrorism. The FBI investigates his parents -- and all siblings are removed from their home and all computers are confiscated. Johnny's dad is placed on a terror watch list and is never allowed to fly again.


Scenario 8:

Yeah, still waiting for the funny part.

[DBFIU]

Does it really need an explanation?

[BTM]

No, it's just a stupid attempt to satirize the way the world is now with obviously fabricated scenarios

Not fabricated scenarios,

I use to go hunting before and after school and had my shot gun in my truck that I drove to school and never had a problem or questioned about having a gun in my truck and that was in the early 80's so you do not have to go back that far.

Today you better not even show up with a pen knife in your car, your friends will rat you out to the principle because they think it funny only to have you arrested and expel form school. That recently did happen.


Society has gone nuts

[BTM]

Am I crazy for agreeing that schools should be weapon free zones? I'm no where near liberal, but to me this just makes sense

And not fabricated scenarios? Did I miss when SWAT was called after 2 kids got in a fight?

Im from AL, yes redneck haven, and my HS was so damn strict on weapons...we had a school shutdown once a year that nobody knew when(like most schools all over)..had a friend get expelled his senior year for having shot gun shells in his truck, and he was just a country redneck that hunted every morning before school...some say it was unfair, but he could of very easily had a bad break-up or bad day and walked in with the shotgun in his truck and done damage(shot gun was unloaded under the seat, like most the guys do)...as long as no bullets they can do that, but he was careless

[hhkim]

More so than the ignorance and "back in my day" propagandists who spew these over-exaggerated fabrications shit as "evidence" that everything was better before? Every statistical metric of progress (life expectancy, per capita income, infant mortality rate) indicates vast improvements in American life over the last 50 years. But yea, I'd rather bring my gun to school.

Other than reiterating your "shitstorm", anything constructive to add?

FWIW I haven't made any political accusations here
