As a side note, this was on my local news tonight. In Jonesboro, Ark., a young student was suspended from school because of his lunch. Apparently, he picked up his chicken strip and pretended to be shooting a teacher with it. His parents are currently appealing the suspension, but the principal cites the punishment as just because of the district Zero-Tolerance policy.

Most will probably remember that Jonesboro was the site of a school shooting about three or four years ago. Two junior high kids pulled a fire alarm and shot four students and a teacher to death.

Damn! York is only about a 30 - 40 minute drive away from me. And of course, I live just outside of Baltimore. Wow.

You know, you can buy machettes, axes, etc. at any sporting goods store (or Walmart) for real cheap, too.

Of course, machete guy has been in trouble with the law before, for threatening to kill his ex-wife, a congressman, and other people.

He SHOULD have been dealt with then.
But we have all this crap 'compassion' that we waste on people who don't deserve it.

When you act as a threat, you should be dealt with (read: removed or eliminated) accordingly.

Would this be "Compassionate" Conservatism we're hearing so much about?

Well, first off, First never said he was a Compassionate Conservative, and secondly, this will be compassion for those this man has transgressed.

There is a Klingon saying with much value to it: "Respect is earned, not given away."

Compassion is for those who suffer pain, not those who inflict it.

You don't meet the same people I do.

Like the person who wanted be to help them with research for a school project, but didn't know what she needed to find out or do.

Or the guy who wanders around downstairs, talking to himself, rearranging magazines and books at random, and, when asked to not do that, replies to the HEAD Librarian, "You don't work here."

Or, for that matter, the little girl who had a half-hour hissy fit because the plastic cover to the VCR tape she rented wasn't blue like the last one.

People. Some of them, we could all do without.

In an odd bit of Forum synchronicity, there's a job opening at the local library for an assistant in the children's section. Thanks to your stories, First, I have not applied.

I guess I don't know those same people.

I'm quite fond of the guy who orders a pizza from work to be delivered to his home, then is mad when he finds out his order's been cancelled after I tried to deliver it and he wasn't home. "I wasn't home yet!" Tough shit, buddy.

Or the guy who took the pizza box from me, held it at an angle under his arm then complained that the pizza was messed up -- well, of course the pizza was messed up! What do you expect's going to happen when you hold the pizza box vertically? There's a reason you carry them flat.

The dude who wanted to pay for a $10 pie with a $100 bill holds a special place in my heart.

I am of course gratified by the pot smokers out there. I bring 'em $17.84 in pizza, they hand me a $50 and ask how much I want to give back. "Er, here's two bucks, enjoy!" There's nothing like a nearly thirty dollar tip to make your day.

Gotta love cops, too. "Do you know how fast you we...oh, hey, man. Nevermind, get back on the road."

HAH!

Say what you want about Asian school system, they may be boring, we have to wear same stupid uniform, take tons of lashes from the teacher...

But at least I don't have to face sawed off shot gun, or blown up by home made pipe bombs or get gutted by machete, or get beat up because you walk in on some punk dealing junks in the parking lot, etc.

Like I said, considering their counter parts, Asian schools are alllllll good.

At least you didn't fall for the old $200 bill in payment for the $2 order trick!

Well, but I've only got $20-so in change, and he didn't want to give me a $70 tip, so I wound up waiting 10 minutes while he looked for his checkbook. See, this is one of the things we do to avoid carrying too much money to make us un-appealing to robbers. Unlike the mom-and-pop carryout places.
