Suspended For Shapes

It's going to be another spring-like day out and of course if last week is any indication of what happens when I write that in my blog, we are now destined for a snow covered week next week. I for one hope not, it was really nice not bundling up this morning!

Lego's, Paper & Fingers - Oh My!

I didn't really have much to write about today until I read this article just before lunch that got me fired up about the fuckin' stupidity of society right now. The article was about this 5 year old boy in Massachusetts that was suspended from an after-school program for making something out of Lego's that barely, at best, resembled a gun.

The school felt that it was inappropriate and that this Lego gun (sorry its hard to type that without chuckling to myself) may have been and probably was interpreted differently by other kids and in turn really scared them. Holy shxt are you fucking kidding me? You have to be kidding me! Unfortunately, nope. Call me an insensitive jerk but I cannot help but laugh when I read some of this stuff. For example, here is the quote from the principle of the school:

"The gun was a "threat to other children & other children could have been scared"

Ahhhhhh, ha ha ha ha ha, I cannot fucking believe what I am reading. I have to keep checking the links to verify that I am not on The Onion or some other website that makes-up funny fake stories. I wish I was in this case. I mean this has got to be the stupidest fucking thing I have heard in a long time. Even more so that there are people out there that feel it was "the right thing to do". What? The right thing to do? How about teaching your kids about right and wrong and quit relying on everyone else to do it for you. All you are doing is raising kids that are even more ignorant than you - their already ignorant parents. Our society is doomed if things keep up at this rate!

Whats-more is that there was a girl suspended from school because she had a square piece of paper that had a section torn off so it looked like an uppercase "L", sorta. Well hold that "L" by the short part and whatta you know, you now have something that resembles a gun - brilliant, who knew! So she was suspended because of it.

Another case they mentioned was when 2 - 6 year old kids were using their fingers as most of us did when we were young, making the shape of a pistol (thumb up - pointer finger outstretched for all you ignorant types) while chasing one-another around making "pew, pew" sounds. Wanna guess what happened? If you guessed that they were suspended for using something that resembled a gun then you would be spot on.

I guess this can mean only one thing - we need to start eliminating intimidating things that are around us and especially our kids every waking hour. Let's start with parts of the alphabet since it's one of the first tools our kids use in school. While doing so let's not forget that these dangerous letters are generally strung around the classrooms to help kids learn and understand how to use them. For example; the letter "r" looks pretty intimidating, not as much as the big and powerful "L" but intimidating none-the-less. The lowercase "i" has to be next, it looks like the barrel of a firearm with a projectile coming out of it, You get the idea, unfortunately most of the tree hugging, hippies have no clue because they too were raised by ignorance I guess.

I won't go into all the details, you can watch the video by clicking here if it is still available. All I have to say is that I cannot believe how stupid this is and even more-so how ignorant these moronic assholes are that are not only reproducing but taking the time to screw up their kids from the get-go rather than be a parent.

Thorough Banning

Next I think we need to focus on cans of soda and related. I mean opening soda sounds a lot like something exploding, and in reality it is releasing pressure - not unlike a projectile from a firearm. What about pressurized jars and rolls of pre-made dough? Scary explosive sounding stuff if you ask me. So to be fair if we are going to punish kids for things that look like something else, if only slightly, then we need to do it across the board don't we?

Bubble wrap would be another one on my list of objects to be banned. I can only imagine the amount of fear a child would have after he or she had to listen to such an exhibition of noise produced from the popping of bubble wrap! To them that must sounds exactly like an death-kill-assault-rapid-fire-terrorist-machine. I am sure there are plenty more words the media chooses to spread fear, those are only a few. Too bad most never really fit the story they are covering - but its what an ignorant society better understands I guess. That's it, keep those blinders on sheeple.

There was a comment that one of the readers left that I thought summed up the entire ordeal in one senstence so I had to share it before getting off the crazy train. This was it:

...the dumbing down of America continues unabated with adults leading the way toward a totalitarian state...

On a side note I do have to say that I really enjoyed the article that The Onion put out today regarding a sad AR-15 that may never get to mow down rows of people as that is it's sole purpose. Oops did I strike a nerve? Yea, shxt happens - but are you going to outlaw cars the next time someone gets hit? How about the fire at the nightclub in Brazil that killed over 200 people? Are you going to start outlawing nightclubs, dancing and dubstep? Doubt it, so I digress.

Out With A Pew-Pew

I think I have given this topic more time than it deserves so on that note I will continue on with my Wednesday and wait anxiously to see what stupidity surfaces tomorrow. Until then keep your eyes peeled - everyone around you is armed with 2 index fingers, each loaded with a pew-pew! That my friend is some scary shxt! Ah hah, I have the solution for that one - just make everyone wear mittens - whew problem solved, I can sleep peacefully tonight.
