who' name shall not be spoke Reply #2 – March 26, 2008, 04:14:36 AM yeah he has talked with me on AIM a few days ago.... sounds like he has really turned around. I always finished my meals, but that was because I ate like a vacspooge. we generally only had 5-10 minutes to sit and eat. Quote Selected

How the hell are you supposed to expect a kid to pull the trigger when it counts if you coddle him?well the same "people" (fill people in with your word of choice) that get disturbed for lack of a better word from the verbal "abuse" are in the same group as the "people" that say grading papers in red ink isn't right because it makes the kids feel dumb... well if you didnt know the answer and got it wrong then you didnt study=DUMB! I am a hypocrite (sp) on this because i am not joining any armed forces but if i did i would expect hard cruel conditioning, not having that would seem like going to play a football game yet you have been practicing for frisbee golf. And do they think that this is going to make them stronger if they were to be taken as a POW? Like i said i might be out of place since I;m not in nor do i plan on joining the military.

I actually found that bit quite humorous but obviously I did not laugh. Most of the time they did not Cuss though. It was always WHAT THE PISS?! Quote Selected
