Parents call police on teacher over LGBT book.

TLK Valentine

Read the books that others would burn.
You know what is ironic to me? The fact that the school would send home a note every year for me to sign, allowing a teacher or principal or whoever, to hit my child with a board with holes in it ( never would sign it). Meanwhile, at the same school, a teacher once reported me to CPS of all places (they immediately found no harm being done to my kids so there's that) for spanking my child, who was pouting at school after being spanked that morning, by someone who loved him (unlike anyone at the school) and NOT with a board with holes in it, I might add. I also left no bruises or welts or whatever on the same child, who was scared to come home, not because he'd been spanked but because CPS had pulled him out of class to talk with him and he knew that was not a good thing. Anyway, so no, I don't trust most teachers or school administrators to handle the upbringing of my child.

Fortunately I live in a civilized state where schools don't allow corporal punishment, so that particular kind of legalistic paradox doesn't happen.

Corporal punishment is nothing. We had to deal with Sergeant Punishment:

Nope, never observed that.
There's a lot of American culture that I
dont know about.
Oh I have :shrug:
Mostly in the form of international news reporting on such a phenomenon
And some of these events have gone down in history, if you catch my drift?

Um no, drift...?
My bad
I was making a jab at some elements of the “they’re pushing the gays on kids” criticism becoming a long running gag among various communities. Ie going down in history

For example Batman and Robin promoting homosexuality is a long running joke among the DC fandom. Spanning generations even. It was even mocked in various iterations of the characters in pop culture.
The 60s and 70s versions of the characters in particular
(Holy Adam West Batman! And of course Superfriends)

And of course everyone above the age of like 10 has mocked Bert and Earnie for being a couple. Again this joke goes back decades

I’m not even American and I know this

Sorry. Are you unfamiliar with that figure of speech?
It’s hard to know what translates, even among English speakers. Most folks can’t seem to understand us Aussies lol

Oh really?
Wow

I had a friend from Primary (Elementary) School with parents like that.
Didn’t exactly work out though. Let’s just say, my friend was very adept at convincing her mother she was following the rules and she broke most of them before lunchtime.
Kind of impressive in hindsight, ngl.

Not very European either.

I recall there was my best friend's mother who was obsessed with sex.
She used to take her own daughter to the nudist beach with her.

When she was 14-15, she took her to the gynecologist and forced her to take the pill.
But this girl grew up so traumatized and disgusted with sex, that her first real boyfriend was during college.
So I assume her first experience was after the 18s.

It was on fire when I laid down on it.

I believe I live in a civilized state too but I think that's a very strange aspect of life here.

They are not true AK47's. They are modified to be semi-auto.

a true AK-47 has a fully automatic setting, which is illegal in the United States. Models with semi-automatic settings are available and legal in the U.S. Manufacturers cannot make or import fully automatic weapons for the civilian market

I didn't say that. And we're done here.
He's just arguing coz he can't admit I was right

No ****. Obviously the ones for military use are fully automatic, but they also modify them to be semi-auto for the civilian market. She said AK47's are hard to get. I demonstrated that they are not (granted that they're not fully automatic, which wasn't specified until afterwards).

I'm sorry that his has been such a harrowing struggle for you two.

The things available on civilian market* are not
AK47 rifles. They do not fire " 700 rpm" as our other
benighted friend thinks. The BATF defines an AK47
as a select fire weapon.

" Select fire / fully automatic / machinegun" is inherently
specified in the designation AK47. Look alike have other names.
The "700 rpm" weapon would be a machinegun.
The AK our ignorant CANADIAN says "...exit wound a foot across" does not exist.


Your inability to admit that I was not wrong may
also be inherent. Perhaps it's a struggle coz girls aren't
supposed to know anything. Who knows.
But it has the value of making anything you say suspect.

* limited availability to qualified buyers after a lengthy and
expensive permit application

So what you're saying is:

1. AK rifles cease to be AK rifles once any modifications have been made, and...
2. The gun market is being deceptive and misleading by selling them as such?
