School Spying Scandal Gets Even More Bizarre
Several sources following the recent school webcam spying debacle are reporting that an even stranger twist has surfaced. The student in question that was disciplined for an "improper act" was apparently accused of either drug use or drug selling. Turns out he was eating Mike & Ike candy, not popping pills. While there is probably more to this story than has made it to the general public, the officials involved have done a particularly bad job of actually managing the events.
Yeah, but if you actually remember the Sixties then you weren't there, man! Plus, you've got to figure that the double whammy of Alzheimer's and Senile Dementia is starting to creep up on Gen-X as well by now. All in all, I think it's quite understandable that they might have forgotten whether or not they even inhaled, let alone what the shit actually looked like, besides wasn't everything in trippy colours back then, I can't quite remember...

Schools are overpopulated with kids from poor/undereducated families.
These kids cause trouble.
Schools find ways to kick out these students to bring their "Numbers" Up.
Kicked out students are deemed as failures grow up in a few years stuck in the same area.
Live in poverity have kids.
Kids go to school...
Schools need to find reasons to keep them in schools not find reasons to kick them out. It doesn't matter if they are not model students or model human being. They should have a chance to succeed inspite of themselfs.
If something is so important that you feel the need to post it on the internet... It probably isn't that important.
We're busy trying to catch up to the insanity you Eurotypes have been unleashing on the world for hundreds of years. You've had a headstart, it's not fair.
Uh, calm down and turn on the 'preview' feature for tinyurl...

Jesus also [allegedly] said: Do not judge others, lest you be judged by the same measure. If anything should promote tolerance it's that. However, most people seem to forget he said it.
The problem is that the guidebook we follow (the Bible) says that God won't tolerate some things.
That's a falsehood or at best a misunderstanding. Christianity is an orthodox religion, which is to say that the only thing it tells you that you have to do to win the game is believe in something, i.e. that Jesus died for your sins, and that it makes it okay for you to be a sinner as long as you are sorry about it. It doesn't say that you have to do or not do anything in particular to be "saved".
There is nothing relative when it comes to sin. If you are guilty of one, it is just as bad as if you were guilty of all.
But it won't keep you out of heaven as long as you believe in Jesus. You might be a heretic and be excommunicated from one church or another for some heresy; for example, you are a heretic if you don't believe in the holy trinity. But heretics still get to be saved, even on their deathbed, if they truly accept Jesus into their hearts or whatever.
You may not agree with the Bible's position on many subjects.
Which bible? The earliest manuscripts known, destroyed by fires at the libraries of Alexandria? Or the current editions, repeatedly and deliberately (as well as accidentally) edited by fallible men over the course of centuries?
If you do accept the Bible as God's word,
Then you must be a member of a fringe sect. Because it's clear that the bible was written by men, not by God. Very little of the bible is actually presented as the direct word of god. Unless, again, you have one of these wacky "translations" that's been edited over and over again to advance various personal and political goals.
