How is pointing a finger and going "brzaap" at somebody who's pointing a finger at you and going "bang" (or the reverse) a "threat" that is "intended to cause distress?"
I have an old "Peanuts" book in which the kids are playing this same game. Would these idiots have suspended Charlie, Linus, and Lucy?

Zero tolerance can be good, but this is zero-tolerance-squared. This ain't good.

Zero Tolerance = Zero Intelligence Every situation must be taken and examined by someone with some kind on intellect. This is obviously a case of principal having no intelligence. I wonder what the actual school rule about this reads."No pointing fingers"

Actually i wouldn't be surprised if there was a 'no pointing fingers' rule at any school. My school has a rule stating that no students are allowed within 6 inches of each other, so I wouldn't say it's entirely out of the realm of possibility.

Your school must have some fancy new hallways or something, because I can't remember ever NOT being at least six inches away from some deodorant-less greaseball kid.

Wow. Talk about a crackheaded principal.
Now kids can't have fun. I remember when I was young me and my friend Scotty would do the nerve pinch on each other(but not hard) and act like we were firing phasers at klingons and Romulans. What is with these 'zero tolerance' ploices anyway? I can understand about guns and drugs and serious stuff like that. My mom had a teacher who spanked kis for discipline with a paddle. My old teacher, Mr Siemering couldn't becasue we got those polices. Our class that we switched teacher with was a bunch of freaks, and he commands respect and tolerance and he used to have to yell and other teachers would complain. There justification will be that they will be safe. But without discipline more and more kids have gotten into drugs and the sex rate is soaring. Society will come to ruind especially with whats on like MTV or like that. Glad I'm in the Middle of Nowhere.

Well, good. It wouldn't do to have two unconcious children lying in the middle of a field, now, would it?
Also, your point about degenerative society was excellent. Please regale us with more of that same biting social observationalism.

While we're at it, we'd better edit out the last 30 seconds of Cowboy Bebop, considering how Spike used his hand like a gun and all. But you know, leave the real gun play alone.

(WARNING: Swearing and Profanity ahead. Sorry if I offend anyone)
Think about it. If you look on the TV Guide channel listings you see about half of the shows on the MTV not only 89% of the words spoken on the shows but also the names of the shows are... cuss words. The 5 I can say off my head are;
Jackass You Bitch!! Fuckers On the Beach Damndest Thing Duh, Bastard
See? My kids can't even say the names of shows on Tv without cussing. I figure they think it is funny. I saw a ad for a NBC show and it featured a woman screaming 'You JACKASS' at her ex and worse my kids were in the room. The next day she said 'Asshole' instead of 'Jackass'. Have you watched some of shows like 'Friends' or 'That 70's/80's Show'? I watch 'King Of the Hill' on FOX and even though it has some profanity once in a while it is a good show. Friends came on right after and the first word spoken was 'Fuck'. Please point out why this is funny. That is why I have changed my way of life. I am the kind of person who if he tries to work I work and if I try to relax I work. Proud to be a farmer. I will do hard labor for nothing. If that is how younguns are like today, what will it be like when they have kids??? Porn is everywhere. A fat lot of help it does if kids can get that kind of stuff. They say not to enter if your 18 or younger but if porn is on the front page it is real effective. I get an average of 23 emails per day for porn or penis enlargement. They say 'Remove for list' and when I click on it it takes me to the front page and over 45 at the most pop-ups appear and won't go away. I have to shut down my computer to do that. I have a idea that I will be shooting my Tv soon. I can still hear the Cincinatti Reds play on the radio and the weather. Makes me sick.

What, that people are over-compensating for years of neglect on our countries tattered and frayed moral fabric??? That the vast majority of people are narrow minded twits that have no real clue about what matters and what doesn't????
My parents didn't worry about what I said, or how I said it, but in the actions I did.....
Like the indians in California, now they want all indian type names and mascots to be removed from the schools.... In the article they asked what was next, streets, towns, and the such????
