Yeh, you can’t stop someone from tearing you up on youtube. But nothing can stop you from getting them back, either. The people who claim to have thick skin usually have the thinnest. Put them to the test. Hopefully, they’ll react by doing something illegal, then you’ve got them.

Seems to me like a clear case of “time to call your parents, little Sally.” Parents can’t just outsource the discipline of kids to the schools. If mom & pop would rather sue the district than punish Sally, well, I imagine the school would have better luck requiring the bully to meet a few times with a school counselor.

I can hardy wait for Sr. AnonyMouse to tell us again (and again, and again) about the cyber bullying by his arch enemies SureFire and Woody. If don’t want to be cyber bullied or laughed at, just step away from your computer.

I don’t want to minimize the death of the teenager in South Pasadena, but young men/boys do many things which can get them killed, and you can’t protect them from all of lifes danger. If a couple of murder charges are given to his drinking buddies, it only adds the the number of familes which will be suffering. In most caes the kid is not forced to drink in excess, the great majority of the kids who participate in the drinking games do so very willingly.

The judge was right. Freedom of speech should allow a lot of leeway, except for throwing tomatoes or shoes. How could it have possibly taken the judge sixty pages to say that? Why would the school board appeal the ruling?

But, if we want to take this further, let’s punish girls who say mean things to guys when they break up. Talk about cruel.
