I have a friend who had a 'Magic the Gathering' store. He told me that once there was a boy in his store that was being harassed by other two boys, smaller than him.
The bigger boy then came to my friend and said: 'Can you help me? They'll beat my ass as soon as I leave your store'. My friend laughed and said: 'You're bigger, go there and beat up the shit out of them.'.
The boy looked at my friend's face, almost crying, and said: 'Yeah, but... I'm a pathetic loser and they'll beat me even if I'm bigger.'.
I guess guys like this should be protected. Or we could just leave them to be beaten because they deserve it.
When my dad was bullied at an early age back in the 1950s, he and the bully got into a fight and the bully got beaten up.
I agree with most of what you said, but you have to face the fact that many (if not most) of the children that are bullied are wannabe nerds with low or no athletic advantage over the bullys. There are many cases where the school has to take some kind of measure because the kid can't stand up for himself.
This makes me think of all those comedies where the nerds beat the *blip* out of the bullys in the end. But, infortunately, this doesn't always happen in real life.

OK, but what about hearing the ambulances? I think the real problem here - stupidity - won't be solved by the new sirens. And what about the seismometers?

Except a few cases where I overreacted but kids will be kids.
Kids will be kids? I lost an eye!!!!
School is like the world during the cold war.
In Soviet Russia, the cold war is like school.

Sorry, misspelled unfortunately.

My self-esteem has been low since I received an e-mail saying a hot girl would send me pics and all I got was a computer trojan.
This sounds like a Shampoo description. Was this siren invented by Shampoo?

They're sure well ARMed, NATurally.
You missed the funniest joke in the world!!!!
Does "green" power mean yellow power?

I think the old gun-in-the-head-goddamn-put-your-finger-there-or-I'll-kill-you works better.
Is there a place to check this? I found the article you're talking about - but you have to buy it to read it. The reference can be found here.
May 2009 seems to me a perfect 'real and legitimate' date - opposed to February 30, 2009.
Ok, this may sound childish, but I fear I might hate Spock being locked in a planet with polar bears, killing smoke and never-ending nonsense.
Yeah, and Obama will sure use the WMD that Bush found on Iraq to threat the countries that don't agree with the Kyoto protocol.
Don't they know that the Democrats now have total control of the US government and will sign the Kyoto Protocol, thus lowering sea levels?
The USA has already signed the protocol. It has to be ratified, though.
Here in Amsterdam we live 1.5 meter below sea level but I have no reason to worry
Good choice for some famous last words!
My image of Australia will always be connected to Mad Max and Crocodile Dundee. In fact, I think it'd be fun to watch both together.
One possible script could be a redneck fighting to survive in a world without oil or something. That would be awesome.
Good one. I, for one, have always been adapt of the old 'throw it in the toilet' fashion.

And you know that EVERYTHING either tastes like chicken or it tastes like beef or it tastes like something inedible.
Hmmmmmmm... chicken... tasty! Can't wait to get a box of good old Titanic Fry Chicken.
