(Just for the record, I think that was a little harsh.)

I don't believe in beating a kid, but a good kick in the butt never hurts. Besides black eyes heal. Stupidity is a family affair. Lol

I know most of the kids hide them in the backpack - but I know several that have gotten caught and had them taken away. To bad so sad.

The girl in the story is in 8th grade. I have a son in 7th grade, and like your daughter's school Tap, Jonah's also has a strict no cell phone in class policy. Cell phones are to be left in the student's locker during school hours. And they also have a no backpack policy - they can use backpacks to get to/from school, but at school they stay in the locker as well. So no smuggling!

Also, this girl should be in trouble for misusing the 911 system.

If I had called 911 on a teacher for shaking a table my ass would have been sore for days.

So when this 13 year old girl's father goes to spank her, do you recommend that she keep her pants up or pull them down before bending over daddy's knee?

Sounds more useful than Latin!

If she was my 13 year old daughter? Well, since she clearly is not responsible enough to know when and where to use her cell phone, she'd lose it entirely.

If you know anyone with a 13 year old daughter, they'll tell you that is a fate worse than any number of spankings.

If the police decide not to pursue any type of action against the girl for her misuse of 911, then I'd also take her there myself - and have her a) talk to an officer about what the proper use of 911 is and then b) have her find out how much it cost in taxpayer dollars for them to respond to her ridiculous 911 call, and then I'd make her earn that much money via babysitting, odd jobs, extra chores, etc., and donate it to a battered women's shelter or translate the cost into number of hours and have her volunteer for at least that period of time at some such charity.

Your point is? I know you, as all liberals, favor pissing away 1.3M, but you could have come up with something better.

I know you live in granola land, if you're too blind to see how f'd up it is, I can't help you son.

Oh, I'm sure I could have, but it's just about as silly as the one you based your comment on.

Calif is no more f'ed than Texas, or the rest of the US for that matter, it's just bigger out here then Texas, in all ways but one.

Our projected deficit as a percentage of the budget is actually lower than Texas, 31% as opposed to 32%. Illinois is among the worst at 45%

But keep those blinders on as you ride off into the sunset.

How's that state income tax working out for you? That $4 a gallon gas? Bezerkly? The defects up in San Francisco? The cesspool of LA? That 12% unemployment rate?

Hey, but you got Charlie Sheen going for you.
