Boys Arrested for Kick a Ginger Day

[RUINER ACTUAL]

LOL

I didn't think they had gingers in China.

They have ginger EVERYWHERE.



I understand this is a big deal for the school, but "arresting" the kids seems a little over the top for 12 year olds. What ever happened to parents and schools taking care kids?

What stupid, stupid children. Gingers are an important part of our society.

There have been many great, influential Gingers in history.........................................................................................................like Ron Howrad..................

Joan of Arc was supposed to have had ginger hair.

Probably explains why she cut it short.

I'm joking of course, some of my best friends have no souls.

Here's an idea, maybe 12 and 13 year olds shouldn't watch shows meant for adults

No. Idiots shouldn't watch any shows meant for adults.

LOL

Are you going to give a reason why you think this is funny, and perhaps why you think one word three letters makes an acceptable post?
Because at the moment you're a waste of space.

Gingers are the human equivalent of the bullseye.

They're usually kicked to death at the first sight of red hair as ginger children are considered to be a disgrace to the family. It's culture!

Call it the right place at the right time, or call it an astute summarisation, but it's a kickass thread title whichever way you look at it.

I don't understand why anyone has hostility against so called gingers.

Have you ever SEEN a redhead? female, of course.

Fucking hot. Hopefully the redhead fetishists outnumber the ginger haters.

Gonna say it right off the bat that i have red hair and normally i don't give a shit about this stupid thing, hell i even think that the day can be kinda funny. I'm 15 a sophmore and most of my friends just i guess you can say "tapped" my leg and we all laughed at it, but there were a couple of douchbags who go full out and try to full out kick me and take me down. I'm very glad to say that out of the 3 kids that did this to me 1 is in the hospital with a broken arm and severe bruising and the others have black eyes and might walk with limps for awhile.

YEA! show those assholes whos boss!

Ohnoes! Someone got a bruise. Alert the press!

If you hit someone for the colour of their hair it should be a big issue. Even if their wasn't a bruise those kids should do some time in juvie simply for that heinous act of hate-inspired violence. Either that or it was idiocy in which case they genetically deserve jail.

Assault is assault. Anything less than jail time is too lenient for harming another human intentionally. I think physically violent bullies should get jail time too but that's just my soapbox.

These kids are 12 years old, c'mon, you must remember being that age? There wasn't a single day I didn't come home from school with a bruise, and that was just from messing about with my friends. I'm not saying that its right for these kids to have kicked someone for being a ginge, they have a bad enough deal in life as it is (jokes... OR AM I?), but I don't see why everyone has gotten their pants in a twist over this :/

I expect they won't bother 'celebrating', it next year then! ;-) My baby (in my pic) is a little redhead and he thanks you in advance for what you have done!

Look, I'm a Ranga (Ginger is just too soft a term) and I've got no problem with all the jokes, tv shows, kick a ginger/ranga day etc because they are all in good fun...a joke. But, when kids start taking it as gospel and act out on it, then it's going too far.

Gingers are the human equivalent of the bullseye.

[sub]Ohnoes! I got picked on because I was different! Welcome to life.[/sub]

Uh, I got picked on in primary school for having red hair...the mental trauma stuck for years. It's not something to just brush off. The school pretty much had your mentality, but I was the one who ended up socially crippled for years following and also depressed enough in my teenage years to want to kill myself. I'm sorry, but I can't stand it when people think it's such a small matter when really it's a whole lot more.

South Park can be blamed for giving the kids the ideas of calling redheads "gingers" and being mean to them.

Before that episode, I'd never heard the term ginger, nor the idea that they were to be hated. I'd only heard the phrase "I'm going to beat you like a redheaded step-child," but never understood why the redhead would be beaten any more than the other step-kids.

Parents can be blamed for not teaching the kids how to handle new ideas.

Kids get new ideas from TV shows, video games, books, friends, and even relatives. All can be the source of a bad idea. The real trick is to teach your kids how to analyze a new idea and decide if it's good or bad; not to shelter them from ideas altogether. Granted, lots of people want to shelter their 5r old from many adult ideas, like cussing, sex, gore, the notion of rape and other horrible events, etc, but teenagers should be able to handle a lot. Plus, that's what the ratings system is for.

Movies don't create serial killers, movies make serial killers more creative...

 

[Monocle Man]

Why all the hate for gingers? What did we ever do to you?

Carrot Top.

Ah, yes, there are no ridiculous blondes or brown-haired people.

Sure there are. But why would I name them when specifically asked for red-haired people?

Your statement implied that you hate gingers for one annoying person, yet you show no hate to people with a different hair colour while there are more of such people who are blond or brown-haired.

I wonder if all the gingers in Ireland take turns kicking eachother... [small]hmm...[/small]
