*wonders when the last time was that diplomacy worked on a 14-year-old. Maybe back when some of them were still ruling countries, when the old king died too early..*
Now, were we talking "peace in our time" diplomacy, or "GTHOOOG" diplomacy?
*wonders when the last time was that a school actually enforced its rules equally, fairly and efficiently.*
Surely not during MY educational experience, when the futbal heroez had the run of the place, and anybody not involved with athletics or "cutesy" stuff (cheerleaders, pep, yearbook, etc) was a second-class citizen. And coming down the pike: A directive that will forbid teachers from suspending or otherwise punishing a student without parental permission... yeah, THAT'LL help. I only scoff at "going to school authorities" because: 1) I remember doing that on a number of occasions, and it never helped. 2) Both my parents are teachers, and I hear from them daily how ineffective the authorities are, and how impossible it is to get anything of that sort recognized and attended to.
Anyway, I feel Jaresh addressed the rest of the concerns raised in his message above.
If I had a little sister, however, and someone was REPEATEDLY throwing basketballs at her... I do not know if I could be so inclined towards nonviolence as he is. But then, I have a problem with anger in situations like that, and I know it.

*strips out of the changling suit* E-hem! Maybe she is supposed to catch the basketballs?
I'm all for the downfall of the American Empire. Civil unrest! Riot! Reign in anarchy! Death to the Infidels! The basketball throwers shall be crushed by the mighty war machine of the Just and Loyal Defenders of Sisters! They shall hand from the trees until dead, dead, dead. They shall be impaled and paraded in the streets! Then there will be a big feast and orgy. Can't leave out the orgy.

Cargile, according to your logic he could be measuring the kinetic energy contained within a basketball. But he isn't. He's doing it to get her attention. THAT'S ALL. If you're going to throw bullshit answers around, why don't you keep it to yourself. If you have any thoughts that are not designed to give me a hard time, please, post them. Otherwise, lets keep the loading time down.
I could go for a feast and orgy, though.

Hey! In Cargile's defense, you probably mightn't have thought of the feast n' orgy on your own (or at least not so soon). If you're offended by dissenting opinion, why bother posting it here (the flameboard), where some folks truly believe that no idea is validated until someone disagrees with it?

I'm not offended by dissenting opinion at all. I'm offended when someone makes light of a very serious situation. Him throwing ridiculous ideas out, trying to justify that ball throwing, does offend me. However, since he is hosting the feast and orgy...
*Clears throat*
I love you...
PS. I like Liam's suggestion...

This being the last post of mine here until I decide to post again, the post of mine second to the last, this post being understood as the last post of mine, was for the amusement of The Excaliber who suggested the previous post of mine was "out of character", in that that post in which he was refering to showed unusual moral standing of which I am not known to express. So in good humor of returning to amoral, and/or immoral attitudes I presented the second to last post of mine.
And I make light of serious situations because its the only way I can cope with the pain, man!I'm too sensitive! It tears me apart!
