Apparently that video made it to national news (albiet Fox and Friends, but still). The comments section has personal information on the kids, too. The school district has vowed to "launch an investigation" and discipline the kids.

The kids in this video. Spoilered for language.

On a good note, as I posted the link in Off-Topic... Someone started a modest fund raiser with a goal of 5,000 to send this lady on a vacation.

It has currently raised 108,476 (as of now) that she will recieve. Not bad for someone that puts up with, and handles herself extremely well, these punks for 15k a year to make a meager living.

Those kids need their *** whipped...

It drives me crazy at my gig. The place is so damn health concience that even in the vending machines there are healthy snacks like baked cheetos or nutrition bars. No real frito lays, no snickers..even the popcorn is reduced fat. Madness.

Then whenever I eat lunch and bring in some fast food, someone always comments on it. Always. While staring at me eat. Its pretty uncomfortable at times when you're tryna enjoy lunch and you got a few people and always a certain someone who breaks down exactly what I'm eating ingredient by ingredient. Go chew some dirty sweatsocks and let me feast on my rat meat.

I can relate. There's this guy @ work, who has just started working out @ a gym (his main goal is to go look at females) that has turned into one of those. Here I am, with some pasta and meatballs from the nyte before, and he's critiquing everything I eat, as I eat.

And he smokes.

The over-reaction to this in the national news grinds my gears.

Wait, a few punk middle school chaps making fun of a figure of authority on a bus? Gasp!!! I don't condone it, and think it's disgusting. But they are a couple of little ****ing kids who most likely won't amount to **** in 10 to 15 years anyway. This is not a new fad, nor is bullying. WTF media? If anything, I blame America's new epidemic... thin-skinned.

2 more...

I know I replace igh words with yte, but it's on purpose, and b/c mostly what I post isn't serious as well as I am a certified moron (serious posts I try to spell as correctly as possible!). I worked hard for that certification

But what is up with the confusion of where and how to use the words: your, you're, there, their, and they're? This disease is internet wide.

Lastly, touching a bathroom door knob or the toilet handle, and it is wet. ****.

Honestly, I'd rather see stories like this and how she's been given an over-whelming amount of support than which ******* is going to be elected this Fall or how many points the stock market went up this minute or oh no the economy isn't growing fast enough. I'm sick of the news being so ******* negative and while the source of this is pretty horrendous (I know we were bad kids on the bus, but **** we still had respect for our elders even if we picked on each other to the same degree) the result of the video has proven to be very positive and uplifting.

And there is a difference between being "thin-skinned" and wanting to be treated in a respectful manner. She didn't ask for any of this so I don't see it as being thin-skinned, but instead giving her the respect that she apparently doesn't receive on a daily basis from little entitled pieces of ****.

For the record, I wasn't necessarily calling her thin-skinned. More America.

When people get annoyed at people saying that the winner of the NBA Finals or Super Bowl or World Series or Stanley Cup are "world champions".

Sorry. The leagues for those sports are the biggest and most prestigious leagues in the world. It's okay to call them "world champions" if that's the term that is used in that moment. Enough of this nonsense.

When talking about a woman and a guy says ,"well, if you take away her breasts, ***, etc" then she's nowhere near as attractive" and they try using it as an argument for why they find someone else more attractive.

No ****... the breast, ***, etc are part of the whole package.. of course they wouldn't be as attractive.

When people try to bait people into arguing with them in threads. In every gaming thread, it is always one or a few people who try their best to bait people.

Teenage girls who think they're invincible. My fiancé's little sister is heading down a bad path and if she doesn't change her habits, well, when you play with fire, you're going to get burned.

Getting bad grades and cutting school when I was in HS is one of the only regrets I have in my life. It's made this stage of my life much harder. Trying to convey that what you do at the earlier stages of your life makes the latter stages easier is futile to a teen who thinks they have the whole picture figured out. I understand being young. I still am to a degree. But you can be a teenager and not be a complete nuisance too.

Just shake my head and let the pieces fall where they may.

People are dumb, so they have to make their own mistakes.

When you go to a store like Marshalls to find some shoes for cheap... You head over to the shoe section and all they have are sizes 19 and 20. Who's gonna buy that ish? Ronald McDonald?

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

Or just a really tall person. My nephew wears a size 16 and he is only 13 years old.

I mean I'm 6'5" and I wear a 14/15, but 19's and 20s are crazy. I've never known anyone (personally) that wore a size larger than 16 and I've been around basketball all of my life.

[AUChase]

That's a huge shoe size. I'm 6'3" and wear 12/13
