Breakfast reading from the Village Voice Empire: A new book describes Columbine shooters Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold as Goth dressing outcasts who were taunted as homosexuals -- claims debunked long ago. What other tall tales continue to linger? Westword has the story.
Eric harris went to my elementary school. Glad the air base here closed and he moved.....could've been my school shot up. It. Both saddeneds and angers me that there is so much evil in the world.
I'm pretty darn sure the "School Shooting" app from Sally Pharmaceuticals is to blame in both cases.
No you didn't...This was on their profile page...

I
was wondering the same thing about the gingers on Binkerton Studios
Live Shows. They never show the baby Rocco. I don't think he is real.
I had the wrong person, my apologies. I know who it is now... sorry for snapping like a freak.... hate when I don't realize who it is...
lmao...could I have a chair donut instead.... I already have a halo, its all bent and scratched up though.
Ahhh, now you aren't from Penn at the moment because you gave yourself away?? Liar.
Gotta love full of shit people who come back and try to be someone different. For fuck's sake, grow up.
No, I was thinking more of the nuthouse.... you don't know me well enough to know what I can be like.
No, she meant "institute" like DeVry or cosmetology school. That's her (My2) snooty way of saying I (Guessed) am more cut out for one of those manual labor, vocational type careers. She can be like that sometimes.
aww, why not refer to yourself like this "BackDoorMeBillyBinkerton" ... btw, not mad at all, just had enough of the crap over on the other thread, wish it wouldn't start on the rest of them.
Actually, I'm not from Pensylvania at the moment. This is exactly the site "they" (oh great another cause for possible identity confusion) are talking about when "they" say not to post personal stuff on the internet for people to go around sleuthing it. I'm pretty sure "they" were talking to "me" (Guessed) when "they" said that.
From Penn, huh?? Maybe you should refer to yourself as "M". Nice of you to stop by after all these months. Has to beat lurking. Why don't you try posting under your old ID? I am sure some people will still talk to you.
Chicken.
I don't have the first clue as to why you are mad at me. If you have the right person, I'm not sure now. I will refer to myself as "I" from now on or in the third person just to be on the safe side.
Bet I could too. A motorcycle ridin, scuba divin, saint. LOL. I threw saint in there, well, you know why.
That's weird, when I woke up today I was freaking sure I was ME. People didn't ask me who I was, they seemed to know. You are the imposter. And no, I don't live in Kelly Rothwell. I'm from Pennsylvania.
I am me, aren't you the same troll saying stupid shit on the Rothwell thread all the time??
LOL. I've never been much of a drinker but did in my late teens for a while. Just as I turned 19 the states were under threats by Fed DOT to up their drinking age to 21 - and they did. Only place in the US you could still drink at 19 was in Wyoming and in OK you could drink at 18 if it was 3.2 beer. I wasn't in either state. Not sure if WY is still 19 fro drinking but you can still drink 3.2 beer in OK at 18.
Try turning 21 while pregnant... It had always been in the back of my mind (and probably everyone's) that on my 21st, I'd go to a bar and get smashed, but no, I'd decided to get knocked up eight months earlier. He was born a week after my birthday, but I was breastfeeding so it would be another three months before I could drink and by then the novelty of being 21 had worn off...
Its prob not that bad. 40 didn't bother me at all. Or the ones since then. I think 25 was my toughest birthday. But only because I married a little younger than most of my friends and had just had my second baby and most of them were still single. I suppose that would count for a sort of mid-life crisis.
I don't think I even want to know... My guy hits it on the 21st, of course I think it's easier for them though...
LMAO!It actually took me a second to get that, SMH.
I used to swear that I wouldn't give a damn when I passed the the thirty mark... but then I did and that's when I started seeing lines in my face and waking up feeling like I'm sixty and dreading the 40 yr marker. How the hell did that happen??!
I'm guessing the bullies had best watch out. Appears the ones they're picking on are starting to loose it and turning it into a bloodbath...Jeez.
Good morning! Hope you had a good weekend.
I think if I had kids now, I'd be inclined to home school. Not that I really want to but between the bullies and the shitty education kids are getting now, that would be a formative option.
Those are some of the reasons I have home schooled my daughter all these years.
Of course, extras included her knowing the Dirty Harry .44 Magnum "I know what you are thinking, did he fire 6 shots or only five...." speech by the age of four.
She also by 12, which she turns tomorrow, understand you don't cut a sentry's throat (they gurgle really loud) but insteand shove your knife up under the shoulder blade, twisting it.
And then there's Grammar, Algebra, Classical Music, Chemistry, and all that stuff.
I dont see how bullies have become such a problem, my dad always said "dont go looking for trouble but if it happens to find you, start swinging". I always liked that saying and lived by it through school and even now if I was backed into a corner. If you give as good as you get they will always leave you alone as there are much easier targets. I definitely think if kids are having bully issues they should just learn how to fight and break a head or 2 and the problem will stop. There was a scrawny kid in my grammar school who got bullied for the first 3 years and people always told him to stick up for himself. Lol one day during P.E they were playing hockey and the kid whacked the bully as hard as he could round the back of the head with the stick and knocked him out cold. He was suspended and police etc got involved but nothing really came of it. He was back at school 2 weeks later and nobody ever bullied him again. He maybe took it a bit far but my point is that bullies only pick on the ones who will not stand up for themselves.
Lol yeh on a dark night while im wearing a balaclava, give his heart a bit of a workout lmao. Knowing my luck he would probably be packing and id take one to the chest or something.
That is pretty unfortunate for that guy and for you to live with it but you did what you felt was necessary and protected yourself it just so happened that in that case you did more damage than intended. In the long run you may also have stopped that guy from becoming a complete asshole in adulthood with that hard lesson. There was one guy who always gave me trouble in school and I fought back everytime but he was a little bigger than me then so he usually won lol. I see him about the town sometimes now and he really goes out of his way to avoid me (even crossing the street a couple of times lmao) because he is a scrawny little weed now and I am easily twice the size I was in my teens if not more. I have no intention of getting the guy back or anything as I think it is punishment enough that he is genuinely terrified.
I hear ya Stan. I was bullied and I snapped in a very bad way. I was in 6th grade and it took the janitor and the principal to pull me off of the SOB. Problem is, is that in those days, we had cinders for a playground base and now, because I tried to turn his face into hamburger, he's living the remainder of his life with some serious scarring. I had the chance to see him about 20 years ago and the scars are so visible it made me sick. I never apologised to someone like that so many times but he just told me, "Hey, I got what I deserved, and I'm sorry for being such an ass to you". It made me feel a bit better but not enough. But like you said Stan, back in the days, we took our lickings and didn't whine about it.
Lol I agree it is invigorating, anybody who says it is not enjoyable to punch an asshat in the face when they really deserve it is definitely lying. I understand what you mean about going too far but that thought has never crossed my mind while actually in a fight, just do what you can to put them down and worry about it later. I dont start any fights ever and luckily the UK is the most watched country on earth via CCTV so 9 times out of 10 there will be some grainy footage to back your story up lol.
Agreed. I was brought up the same way. Not to start fights but not to run from them and to defend myself. I had to do that several times and when I did it was kind of invigorating. I loved it that I could kick ass but I remember being afraid I would hurt them too much and also that if I didn't hurt them enough I would end up taking an ass beating. One b*tch was way older and bigger than me. My first blow was to push her to the ground and then jump on her ass so she couldn't get up. Then we fought long enough for me to be sure her a$$ would stay on the ground pulling herself together til I could get my a$$ almost home. LOL. I was scared, even though I won that fight.
My point is that even though I could defend myself, I was conflicted while doing so and would have given anything if I didn't have to. My kids went to karate and we, as a fam took other self defense classes when we could. They should teach self defense in school PE classes. Maybe it would deter bullies knowing that even the weaker peers had skills.
I understand what your saying and agree that in a perfect world kids shouldnt have to fight bullies but there is a valuable lesson to be learned as there is always going to be assholes and bullies even after school into adulthood and everybody should at least be partially prepared to deal with them. The way I see it is that violence is a natural part of human nature, like it or not it is a fact. People will always fight, the more prepared you are to hit back or even hit first in some cases the safer you will be from these people. I have been in some scrapes in my time because I refuse to let people push me around or even verbally abuse me, I just wont stand for it even if I get my ass kicked in the end it matters not. Going to the schools and complaining does nothing, maybe the bully gets detention and is twice as angry at the victim the next day. Best way to deal with a bully is a well placed headbutt to the bridge of the nose and a good kick to the nut sack when he is down IMO. Knowing how to defend yourself maybe shouldnt be necessary but unfortunately it is. Anybody at any time could find themselves the victim of an assault etc and I personally would feel a lot better knowing that I at least did as much damage to the attacker as he did to me, preferably a lot more lol.
Bullying is different today than it was when I was growing up and its a rare few who do get pissed enough to fight back. Now, they fight with more than one bully and do much more damage than they use to. Last year alone I know I read about at least 3 kids who were bullied and ended up in the hospital One has brain permanent damage and will never function normally again. And then you have those who kill themselves or attempt to over this s*hit.
I wouldn't allow my children to endure that BS and while you can teach a kid how to fight back, not all of them will. Frankly, I don't think they should have to. I know you are a guy and it doesn't bother you but fighting isn't for everybody. People have a right to not be harassed and have people physically abusing them.
Bullies should be bullied and have the hell beat out of them but you won't fine many non-bullies who want to be bothered with that. Precisely because, as you pointed out, they don't stand up for themselves.
