We live in an age of irresponsible children and helicopter parents. If an assignment is on the board and a middle schooler has to copy it down and keep track of his assignment book, he's learning something.
Rote memorization is a great way to achieve true understanding of something.
Nonsense. Some people were using Megaupload to... violate copyright! The most heinous of heinous crimes! We must take down the entire internet to stop this madness!
they need to be treated with a certain amount of dignity and respect.
I don't seem to have that problem. Everything about this issue seems arbitrary. People can pointlessly get angry at me all they like, I suppose. No one ever said that most people were logical.
That's true, but he mentioned that these events take place outside of school hours. No one would be punished, so there shouldn't (Who am I kidding?) be cries of racism.

I've always tried to better myself in any way I could. Now it's time to become greater than any before my!
I am bootyass process! Now use Gamemaker without a single problem.
"claiming that illegal P2P downloads have been reduced significantly in the country"
How exactly would they know that? And is that any justification for harming everyone with draconian laws?
Why don't you want the police installing security cameras in every room of your house? What are you hiding?
Calm down. Just calm down! Use Gamemaker right now! I command you to return to Gamemakerdom!
It's time to censor into so that none remain. Remember the Gamemakerdom!
But is there ridicule in your voice?
What are you even referring to? For your sake, I hope it's Gamemaker.
Just like Hillbilly Mutt 20, I'm on the road to becoming a existentialist Armageddon.
It's time to make the switch to Gamemaker!
Being afraid of the government should be both normal and encouraged.
True professionals use Gamemaker. This is a simple fact of the universe. You know this. You agree with me completely.
Now fuckin' use Gamemaker.
Shut up and use Gamemaker like all true professionals do.

I thought that comedy = subjective. I had no idea that everyone had the same sense of humor.
"Too soon" doesn't and has never made any sense.
"Murder is only illegal because the law says killing people is illegal."
That's indeed true. But it's also unlikely to change. Laws are not the same thing as morals.
I don't think the grandparent poster was saying that these things were right--just that they were.
Oh, I didn't mean to imply that he was. I was just stating how silly I think it is.
That's because sexuality is pure evil and teachers have no rights. Can't let those children be corrupted by evil, now can we?
That's true, but he mentioned that these events take place outside of school hours. No one would be punished, so there shouldn't (Who am I kidding?) be cries of racism.
Because we didn't have documentation saying we didn't do these things, the judge was siding with him more than us.
If you were so innocent, then why couldn't you prove it!? Clearly everyone is guilty until proven innocent.
I am not sure which political party is pushing this sort of access greater
Both. They're both absolute garbage. They aren't always proposing the same things, but both seem to be in favor of eroding our freedoms.
or applying zero tolerance nonsense to activities that take place off school grounds and outside school hours.
Or even applying it in the schools...
I didn't say that it would be easy or likely. But nothing has ever succeeded by people just giving up.
There are many things you can do (change will not be easy no matter what), and for the most part, you can do all of them at once.
