B is stupid, but I grew up in a rural town (10K) and in our community underage drinking is just ridiculous. The town always boasted about being nationally ranked or some shit for underage consumption but I always assume that was just bullshit. No idea how to find out.

Anyways, it was common on our 21st birthdays for parents to be there, getting absolutely shitfaced with us, and boasting about how awesome it is.. blah blah blah.. I'm only 24, though. Not sure if this is a newer thing with Baby Boomer parents or what.

(I almost mentioned this in the o.p.)

I'm not particularly bothered by Mom being at the b-day party or anything. Hell, one of my "I hope I live long enough to ..." goals is to take my son to Vegas for the first time after he's legal.

Just the context of these pics felt off to me. As a friend elsewhere asked "what's the daughter's name, Fancy?"

[Scoobz0202]

Yea, I understand. A father of one of my best friends took him to Vegas when he was 21 and 22, but unfortunately he had some health issues so that had to stop. Too bad my father wasn't around to take me to Vegas

I'm sure we're on the same page where there's a definite line between going out for drinks with your kids and standing on the back porch of the bar surrounded by 30+ people yelling how you just hate yourself and want to kill yourself because your husband doesn't love you and your life sucks. (Had that happen this past summer in the ol' hometown. Some drunk mom with her son at the bar for his 21st. Good times)

I took Will when he was like 6, but I'm pretty sure it's a different experience at 21

[spleen1015]

My stepson just turned 19. His father mentioned to him that he was looking forward to buying him his first beer at 21 and my stepson told him that he already had plans with me for his 21st birthday.

It has become an issue.

Oh man, that is definitely true.

My trip was limited to Circus Circus, upstairs where all the video games and carnival games were. Luckily I was able to get out and see more, once I was 21.

Gainesville High School Students' Racist YouTube Rant Forces Girls To Leave School, Apologize (VIDEO)

After two minors from Gainesville High School in Gainesville, Fla., posted a nearly 14-minute-long racist rant on YouTube, the girls are "no longer students at the school," WCJB-TV reports.
(Scroll for video.)
Last week, eight police officers were brought to the campus in light of death threats the girls were receiving in response to their videos. The videos included comments like, "You can understand what we are saying, our accents, we use actual words. Black people do not."
Gainesville High School principal David Shelnutt did not go into detail on the extent of the disciplinary action taken against the girls, but did tell WCJB that their comments were not welcome at the school.
"There's no place for comments like that, that video here at GHS," Shelnutt told the station. "There's no place for that in the Alachua County Public School System, and my opinion, no place for that in society in general."
Since the video went viral last week, the girls have experienced harassment and said they feared for their safety. According to one report by the Gainesville Sun, one of the students involved was hiding out at a relative's house while her mother was at work.
“Our lives have changed totally, 180 degrees," her mother told the paper. "This has made her an adult really quick.”
The girls and one of their parents issued a formal apology in the paper Monday:

"I am one of the girls who were in the racist video that got posted. I’m writing this so that I can tell people how truly sorry I am. I could never, in a million years, have pictured this happening with me involved. I wasn’t raised to hate people for their race, and I still don’t. I made a horrible decision in being a part of this video ... "

The girl also writes that she won't make excuses, but hopes the community will eventually forgive her.
In another apology, the second girl's mother says her daughter has gone into a depression following the backlash of the video, and hopes that the community will forgive her and end the harassment:

"While we can never take back the words and actions that these two children have said, we have to start to heal and forgive IMMEDIATELY. Stop the violent threats to our homes and our children, stop the anger, because this will solve absolutely nothing, and most importantly, look at yourself for change and love."

According to the Gainesville Sun, the high school will wear orange, the color of racial tolerance, this week as a sign of solidarity.
The response to the girls' videos echos sentiments of racial issues in school communities across the country.
Just last summer, 18-year-old Kymberly Wimberly of Arkansas filed suit against McGehee Secondary School after four years of nearly straight-As, honors and Advanced Placement classes had placed her at the top of her graduating class. The suit alleges that though she earned the marks, the school denied her valedictorian status because she is black.
A separate suit filed against a Minnesota school district last August claimed that a Red Wing High School homecoming event called "Wigger Day" caused a black student "severe emotional distress including depression, loss of sleep, stress, crying, humiliation, anxiety, and shame."
"Wigger is a pejorative slang term for a white person who emulates the mannerisms, language and fashions associated with African-American culture," the complaint explains. Students were encouraged to dress in oversized sports jerseys, low-slung pants, baseball hats cocked to the side and 'doo rags.
Most recently in Norcross, Ga., a Beaver Ridge Elementary School teacher resigned after outcry over a third grade math assignment that used slavery examples in word problems. Parents were outraged at both the assignment and the school district's response to the reports of those math problems, which included references to cotton, orange picking and beatings.
One problem read: "If Frederick got two beatings per day, how many beatings did he get in 1 week?"
On the other end of the spectrum, this sensitivity -- or sometimes, lack thereof -- seems to create a bit of an identity crisis among schoolchildren. Some black students say they feel ostracized for acting "too white." One Connecticut middle school student said he was stabbed in the back with a pencil by a peer who thought he wasn't acting "black enough."

[JonInMiddleGA]

That Norcross, GA incident is one of the sillier things I've come across in a while. It was inspired by the push to create cross-curricular assignments & was tied to the same students study of Frederick Douglass (hence the wording of the question mentioned here).

I was looking for someone with the same name, but accidentally clicked on someone else with the same name, and then realized she has an open profile:

[heybrad]

A comma really would have helped clarify on this one.

"Ok now I'm told not to use the lights if I want to fuck I hate controlling ppl"

[sterlingice]

Going to the apostrophe is a lot more work than a comma or period (well, I guess autocorrect) so I don't get it

[heybrad]

Is she being told she can't use the lights when she wants to fuck, or is she being told she can't use the lights, so... fuck, she hates controlling people?

I'm using the f-bomb on here too much today. I need to relax.

Prince raps three hits

Via Detroit Tigers.

[sterlingice]

No, no. It makes sense since the kids like the rap music

[Matthean]

I was thinking how Prince hasn't had a hit since the 90's.

I like how people will post quotes in their status updates, but then you read by who quoted it and chuckle.; for example: " people are people they wont save you, you have to save yourself." Holly Madison

[Autumn]

lol. I Hate when people post quotes that aren't obviously quotes and then get all ripshit when everybody's like, "What are you talking about? ARe you all right?" And they say, "It's just a song, guys, jeez." I also hate when people post quotes that are obviously quotes and people say, "What are you talking about, are you all right?" So basically I hate most of the people on Facebook.

[MJ4H]

Hate most of the people on Facebook? I THINK YES!

That awkward moment when you realize you have most of the people on facebook.

I can easily see why employers use it to screen candidates.

This one isn't pathetic...just too...i don't know, awkward, not to share

Anyone know where I can donate feminine products??? Couponing made them free, would like someone to benefit.......

And after a few suggestions of various women's shelters, this gem:

Here's one from my cousin. I don't understand what she's saying half the time, but she posted a picture of something that looks like a white turd along with this:

Not Facebook, but don't know where else to post this text I got last night at 3:40am from a coworkers phone number, but not from him(obviously)

Nice try !!! Stop taxting my husband were trying to work our marriage out he is weak right now with his alcohol problems !! Leave us alone thank you whore !! Go to ur own husband

I was ready to go into full on gangsta mode back, since she was obviously snooping in my co workers phone. But I let it go for now. I'm not sure whether to call him and let him know, or just pretend like it didn't happen. I wasn't planning on trying to fuck her husband.

[sterlingice]

And here I thought saldana was the girl on the board. Stevew, you hussy

SI

[Ksyrup]

I need a flere diagram to understand what is going on in stevew's post.

[stevew]

I had heard she was a crazy bitch via proxy, but this is pretty funny. I'm trying to figure out if anyone else got crazy texts from her.

But now you sort of want to?

[stevew]

Lol

The thought of presumedly a drunk late 40s chick stumbling around late at night, swiping his phone and then T9'ing that message is pretty funny. I imagine it probably took her like 20 minutes.

[spleen1015]

I would tell him. I'm righteous like that.

[Ksyrup]

I think you should mind ur own business and go back to ur own damn husband.

I think maybe you should say something because if she doesn't get a response, she'll take it as "proof" that it was a whore he's screwing around with. Now, that might not matter for this particular marriage which is long dead anyway, but that's what came to mind for me.

[spleen1015]

Reply back and say that he is your man and there is nothing she can do to change that.

[Lathum]

Tell her you would leave him alone but he is your babies daddy
