The dictionary has been banned in some schools in southern California.
The ban results from a parental complaint about their child looking up the definition of ?oral sex.?

no wonder these people want to ban videogames...

Tell us something that just makes you facepalm!

Oral sex does not exist! So why should it be in the dictionary?

Yes, facepalm is right.

That the American Legal system lets a robber sue the owners of a home if they slip and fall and hurt themselves, because there is no railing (they can sue enough to get bail, and yes, it can happen)

Couldn't they just get some whiteout or a sharpie? Or they could, y'know, not give a shit, like everyone else.

Some people are so conservative they're almost liberal again.

Damn... the post worked. sorry.

 

[Macgyvercas]

I faceplam everytime the WBC is in the news, or every time Senator Yee opens his mouth.

 

[NeoAC]

Sigh, of course its Southern California, and of course its some over-protective parent. I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Parents should not be allowed to have kids! They don't know what they're doing!

Hurray, more stuff to tease the US members of The Escapist about.

actually that is a myth that started when states decided to have tort reform, Ive never found evidence of that actually happening and Ive looked, its one of those stories that is designed to foster distrust of the legal system and generally make it harder to sue, which is both good and bad

edit: adding this link http://snopes.com/legal/lawsuits.asp look it up

This makes me want to kill a man. This is just fucking sad.

[HEADING=1]Why!?![/HEADING]

If this is the sort of thing they do, these people don't deserve control over... anything! What's so bad about children learning what oral sex is anyway?

You guys are so mean to us. IT'S NOT OUR FAULT.

 

[Dana22]

Lets ban dictionary and replace it with bible instead.

 

[KefkaCultist]

Parents should not be allowed to have kids! They don't know what they're doing!

That, sir, is my quote of the day (well... quote of tomorrow since today is almost over for me)

Yeah... this is pretty retarded. Besides, EVERY kid looks up funny words in dictionaries. I remember snickering with my friends when we found out gay means happy and ****** is a bundle of sticks

 

[Irridium]

I don't even know how to respond to this.
