Yeah, you're missing what I'm saying. I don't WANT to ban you. I actually like you. It's not about "dissenting opinions," it's about "what you're doing is a dick move, please stop doing it." Can you understand why it's not super cool to get as a response to that, "well, if you don't like it, go ahead and ban me?"

Here's the thing: I don't have a problem with your snark, because it's usually pretty entertaining and I like that it's something we don't get a lot of on here. But when it comes to BCO, you keep making the same comments about the veracity of the stories, over and over. A) It's not interesting, and B) it's kind of not…

Or maybe you could stop commenting.

You need to stop with the "this didn't happen" stuff. Seriously. Stop doing it.

This is my most favoritest FAVORITE headline I have ever written ever anywhere. <3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3 Dear family: Please have this put on my tombstone when I die; kthanx.

I TAIP RAEL GUDE NAO,

"A third-grader was beaten with violently beaten" :P

It seems to me he was being an educator here. It's important for people to see how offensive that stuff is/was. It's a part of history that we have to discuss. I think it's shitty he doesn't get to go to the retirement party. The school district sounds like it's full of idiots who get uncomfortable when confronted…

I heard this and it is such a shitty knee-jerk response on the part of the school. I mean, you can't show American history without showing really virulent racism.

I bet ANYTHING this guy is Big Earl's lawyer. Or "lawyer."

If I sound like a lawyer that is not a coincidence. And I am a damned good one. You have been warned.

The whole world took notice because this is barbaric.

I actually agree most of what you've said. I hadn't personally realized that the multi-student format would be a problem, as I'd been thinking of it sort of like sex ed where the boys and girls get separated. If that goes against best practices then I agree with you that the teacher was in the wrong.

.. And isn't it marvellous that a conservative shock-jocky AM radio station was there to minister to this mother's angst.

Can't be reversed for many months? How slow does your body hair grow?

So I guess I should discontinue my "Shave the Children" charity, then...

Woah, wait. First of all this is a life skills class for "children with intellectual and some physical disabilities," not 8th grade homeroom. And it was in front of two other girls in the same class, who presumably were learning how to shave as well.

I wonder if I should unfriend her now.....

Definitely not impugning her perfectly valid choice to wear whatever outfit she pleases, simply speaking to the physics of that particular outfit remaining on one's body during the course of a brawl. Ain't gonna happen.

This is most definitely and undeniably awful and transphobic, but after watching uncensored video, I have disagree with your characterization of certain elements. The woman in question was not "stripped." She was rapidly made naked because there's no way a tube top and skirt are going to stay on the course of a…
