Don't agree with this one. Should go more like this: Scenario: Johnny falls while running during recess and scrapes his knee. He is found crying by his teacher, Mary. Mary, hugs him to comfort him. 1973 - In a short time Johnny feels better and goes on playing. 2006 - Mary goes on to have an affair with little Johnny. Cops find out and arrest her. She is not convicted of child rape since being with the hot teach is cool. Tabloids eat the story up and she becomes famous. A few years later Johnny turns 18 and they marry. With the money they recieved from the tabloids and talk shows they drive away in there Ferrari and live happily ever after in there Hollywood Mansion. 1 year later a movie is made about there love story which further improves there wealth. -Or- Scenario: Mary falls while running during recess and scrapes her knee. She is found crying by her teacher, John. John, hugs her to comfort her. 1973 - In a short time Mary feels better and goes on playing. 2006 - Cops find out and arrest John. John is blasted by the media as a child predator. His face shows up on the front cover of every paper in the country. His marriage is ruined, his relationship with his kids is destroyed. He is called sick, a child rapist, mentally ill. The court convicts him and sends him away for 10 years. Once released from jail he is on all the child predator list in the country.

TheBile 0 #9 November 20, 2006 Gerb found laughing his ass off after reading something extremely funny that wasn't work related during working hours. 1973 : Boss finds out, enquires as to the nature of the laughing, looks at the documentation in question, laughs his head off and passes it around the rest of his staff to lighten up theri day. 2006 : Boss finds out, enquires as to the nature of the laughing, doesn't bother looking at the documentation. Nothing work related could be that funny. Summarily fires Gerb's ass for wasting department time. Finance dept sends Gerb a bill for the electricity used to read such non-work related material. IT dept trawl through Gerb's computer records, find other posts to DZ.com made on company time. Finance dept issue a second bill for the estimated electricity used in conjunction with such posts, based on an average keyboard user typing 40 words per minute. Boss get's a promotion for stamping out such time-wasting in the workplace. Gerb, with self confidence shattered and no means to fund his car, mortgage and dream of a home cinema commits suicide, but not before going back to the workplace and stabbing his boss in the heart with a spoon.Gerb I stir feelings in others they themselves don't understand.

mamajumps 0 #10 November 20, 2006 Amen to that! I too grew up in the first scenario times. Grew up with all fashioned butt beatings and grew up to be hard worker, good mom and "not a victim of society".... The world is going to hell in a handbasket... and the goverment is helping.... I have 4 kids and Im not ashamed to say, they all get whoopins when its called for, never out of anger and they always know why. I also have 4 a-b honor role kids who use manners, respect their elders and can be taken out in public... I must be doing something right..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DougH 270 #11 November 20, 2006 I am a youngster so don't look at me. I got whuppings from my parents. And my coaches at school had permission in written form to kick my ass if I was out of line. I blaim all of you 40-60 year old ex hippies. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I actually think that one of the worst beatings I ever took in my life was from my high school wrestling coach. If you've ever heard Adam Sandler's "Severe Beating of a High School Janitor"....yeah, something like that. But I wasn't the only one and god did we ever deserve it. Never did something that stupid again either. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Froggy 0 #20 November 20, 2006 So true!
