Na, NSW is where I'm at. It's not exactly champagne wishes and caviar dreams over here either.Emphasis said:Wow, I can relate.. Not from WA by any chance are ya? Sounds exactly like my school.. Im also in year 11. Iv heard that report on the news aswell, and it is quite disturbing.. Why would someone do that, at that age?
I knew a guy who bought a mini katana to school because he felt up a girl in our year and was afraid her boyfriend was going to kill him.orangebandguy said:Someone brought a knife into school once, he was chucked out the next day.
I am currently in the process of becoming a Teacher and the issue of corporal punishment has come up a few times. All those in favour of it are of an age were it never happened to them, all those against it are older and had corporal punishment.jasoncyrus said:This is why we need to bring back corporal punishment. Lil bastards would tow the line if the very real threat of being publicly flogged hung above their heads.MercurySteam said:So today while my dad was driving me to school I was listening to the news on the ABC above the roar of the 6 litre V8 engine. It turns out at a private school in Brisbane a 12 year old kid was stabbed to death by a 13 year old kid from his school. The Deparment of Education stated that "this is not becoming a trend" despite that a few weeks earlier, one student stabbed a classmate in the leg at a different school. Then they moved on to talk about a completely unrelated incident where a mother had stabbed another mother outside a school. The woman with the knife was holdig a baby at the time.
Oh, and yes someone at my school has been stabbed before (he was stabbed in the arm with a pair of scissors over a matter of $10) and I have also noticed that all the years below mine are turning out to be full of little shits. Little because they seem to be getting shorter and shits because most of them parade around the school practically begging for someone to stab them. I'm in year 11 btw.
So, has a conflict at your school resulted in someone getting seriously hurt? Do you think the years below yours are becoming groups of assholes?
QFT. Why do people consider children to be immune fro the crazies anyway. How long do you think before the media starts balming video games?Furburt said:Ah, the myth of childhood innocence. Children are just as crazy as adults, don't underestimate them.
After all, those who committed the Columbine massacre were technically children. One of them at least.
My father wasnt afraid to lift a hand to my hide if I needed it, it kept me in line and taught me the value of not doing stupid things.Phantom_IEC said:snip
They already do blame video games...Macgyvercas said:QFT. Why do people consider children to be immune fro the crazies anyway.

Uh oh, this thread is over. Nazi's have been mentioned -w-Chapper said:Har, har. That's pretty funny.MercurySteam said:SNIPChapper said:Nope, us Norwegians are friendly.
We resort to calm and peaceful solutions.

Well, we weren't able to stay neutral during WW2, even though we tried. Furthermore, if Germany didn't occupy us, Britian most certainly would. Hitler just beat the allies to it.
You don't remember? Your mind must have blocked that part of your memory off. You know the emperor from Star Wars? That was you. Star Wars is based off of your true story.MelziGurl said:Apparently the 13yr old was the victim of bullying and thus warranted stabbing the 12yr old boy. Now I was severely bullied through primary school and never felt any sudden or thought out urges to murder someone.
I vote with you guys. Theres nothing wrong with a little corporal punishment.GodsAndFishes said:Seconded.jasoncyrus said:This is why we need to bring back corporal punishment. Lil bastards would tow the line if the very real threat of being publicly flogged hung above their heads.
I've never understood how just a telling off is more effective than a good beating/whipping/caning.
Surely the general community is mature enough to see a nazi reference and stay calm?sky14kemea said:sniPS
