This thread had nothing to do about what color anyone is, you brought that up.

Then what do you mean by "different"? You keep talking about how "different" people get this, "different" people get that. HOW else are they "different" then?

Maybe you are the voice of that person who tries to discredit someone based on everytime they speak "Oh, hear it goes again, another view from this guy that its always making it a 'black white' thing"...
If the shoe fits, that's not my fault.


Idiotic Politically Correct Revolution? So you would like the rules to be enforced differently for different people? Whats the problem with treating people equal? Since you think its idiotic, you have no problem with rules being enforced differently toward different people?
Actually, what'd like is for society to get back to using their brain and common sense. All this PC crap does is treat people like they are robots and stupid. What's wrong with using common sense? As a matter of fact, in a way isn't that what you're saying in this post? Because of PC, you automatically end up implementing these all or nothing rules. People think they have to in order to keep from being sued or misconstrued. Because of PC, all these "PC" labels are being used like people are morons. Call brown brown and black black. Why make this fancy label? Why add so much red tape to every freaking issue? We gotta have a committee to oversee a committee to oversee a committee to keep from this person or that person from whinning when they don't get their way. THAT is why PC is BS. It's just yet another excuse to justify failures. If someone fails, they fail. If they got dealt a dirty hand, fix it. If they didn't though, don't jump on the bandwagon of excuse.


Or maybe you think its BS because you dont think what Im saying is true. There are some kids who actually get suspended for fighting while others are expelled. I have an entire list of kids who have been in that situation! I know someone who missed a saturday detention and instead of 1 day out of school suspension, he got sent for panel. BS? From who's perspective?
From the perspective that maybe, just maybe, there are TWO sides to every story. Ever heard of that?

Media, in this case you, are publicizing that something happened this one way. All the little sheep that only see the ass of the sheep in front of them buy it, sight unseen. Suddenly, you have a bandwagon formed.

My point is simple. You present ONE side of the equation. COMMON SENSE says there is yet another. Considering the fact that even by your own admission you have a chip on your shoulder about this type of subject, I for one would like to point out the FACT that NONE of that other side is being taken into consideration at all.

If the girl got a raw deal, she got a raw deal. It's just ironic how it seems like YOU happen to attract that kind of raw deal all the time. Why look at the world as half-empty all the time? COMMON SENSE says that there is a common denominator there. Don't YOU see that?


LOL, someone else accused of steeling a notebook, and they searched him and bookbag 3 times [why you would search a person to find a 3 ring binder is beyond me], and on the third time "found" sciscors in his bookbag and he was successfully panelled out for possession of a dangerous weapon. Oh, BTW, he was pulled out of art class. Art student with sciscors? Hmmm...
Again, an example of the by product of PC. IF schools, courts, businesses, media, people, etc weren't all panicked about being sued for saying the wrong thing, doing the wrong thing, thinking the wrong thing that MAY hurt someone's feelings somewhere......we wouldn't have these half cocked "all or nothing" rules. Political correctness is just as the title implies "POLITICAL". It has zero to do with what's right and wrong. It has zero to do with letting people use their brains and common sense. It is a FORCED ideaology. It's a "cool" factor thing. The only thing PC does is win someone "brownie points" with someone else. That's it. It doesn't cure anything. Just like in your example above, it only people into mindless paranoid robots. If administrators weren't so freaked out about getting sued for using COMMON SENSE, your example above may have simply been sent back to class. The problem is that if they did and someone found out......then they'd be all up in arms about not being strict enough about weapons or safety.... :jerkit: They can't win either way. Not with all this PC around.



These schools are just using standardized methods of enforcing this and that and the other, LOL, if you say so. When I first went to a Gwinnett County School, and every single rule has a maximum of refferal to a panel. Pick up and read a Gwinnett County Schools Handbook. Anything from insubordination to being tardy can result in panelling.
There's an old saying that says, "in a warned war, there should be no casualties."

If you read the book and it said that you would be suspended after skipping ONCE and you STILL DID IT.....then who's the moron? IF the school said that if you skip once and they will give you a slap on the wrist and YOU got suspended anyway, THEN there's a problem. I've read the book myself. I, unlike you, HAVE kids in the Gwinnett County School system you detest. I told both my kids what was expected and what would happen if they didn't do what was expected. They can CHOOSE to do whatever their little hearts' content. Lord knows I did when I was young. BUT they also know what the payment will be. They KNEW it upfront. So, when I hand it out their whinning excuses will fall on deaf ears.


People who are thinking that "99% of the people here deserve to be".

You obviously don't want to understand that I was a bad seed myself when I was in HS. I got into many fights. Suspended many times. Skipped school wayyy more than I ever should have. Cursed out a teacher once. Even got accused of drinking alcohol on school grounds. I had my share of detention, suspensions, and restrictions. As a matter of fact, because of my stupidness, my LITTLE brother had to drive me to a homecoming dance one year. Talk about embarrassing!

This is the EXACT reason why I have no sympathy for excuses. I knew what I was doing was wrong. I just didn't care. That's not the school's fault. That's not my parent's fault. There was only one person to blame, ME. I didn't apply myself. I paid for that stupidity when I went to college. I ended up having to work twice as hard to make up for all the skipping, partying, and skirt chasing I did in HS. Again, MY fault. I had to suck it up and DEAL WITH IT.

I expect the same thing from everyone else I deal with. I don't expect perfection. I expect people to stand on their own two feet and handle their business. If you screw up, make it right and move on. But to come up with 50 million excuses doesn't do anything towards resolving the situation so it's a waste of time IMO.
