• ‘Just Get Up and Teach Them Instead of Handing Them a Frickin’ Packet, Yo’: Student’s Rant to Teacher Goes Viral

  May 10, 2013 at 2:42pm

  I’m a little confused about the packets. I remember being handed things that weren’t in the text book. A lot of times it was information that went into more details of the generalized knowledge the Textbook gave which made history more relevant in how things progressed and personal.
  Though I did have one history teacher that was a far out there type. I remember her saying “Muslims and Christians serve the same God that due to language they call him Allah and we call him God.” Some in the room agreed while I know my face gave away that I disagreed with her. She asked me how I felt and I stayed quite because she already had it out for me. I had a B in her Advanced History and she threatened to throw me out of her class cause another student had a D and was crying cause she was failing.

  “GENERALLY” I found that teachers and classroom atmosphere was better in an Advanced class. The Exception being in just 2 teachers class rooms. An English class where I wrote a report on the advantages of air supremacy in military combat in desert warfare. The teacher picked apart my paper to the point I passed with a C in an advanced class. An example that stood out was the fact that I quoted with citation that a high caliber cannon on a plane of helicopter, I forget which one, was indeed called a cannon. She didn’t like the word cannon and docked me even though it was a direct quote and was cited.
  If this is a regular class then maybe he should take a harder class.

• Sympathizing With Rapists? See What CNN Said About the Steubenville Rapists That Has It Taking Major Heat

  If he was truly sorry he’d had plead guilty and saved the victim and the family from reliving it. Were they crying on the first day of court? If they were truly sorry wouldn’t they had been shamed before they were caught? They should had felt shame for thinking about doing it. I’m guessing, since they were tried together, that they aided in each other in the offense? If so why weren’t they tried as adults?

• Survivors of Rape Speak Out Against Gun Control: ‘I Was Denied the One Equalizing Factor That I Had’

  My wife carries a tazzer… setting it off for me is like racking a shotgun. A pint of blood leaves my body every time she sets it off. She wants a pistol and I think it would be okay for her though I think something tiny, like a .22 pistol would be easy for her to conceal and use without much notice even close up. She could also target practice cheaply. Every time I hear my wife talk about getting a pistol I think of the woman playing Don Knots mother in “The Shakiest Gun in the West” She pulls a cannon out of her purse. Tactically I don’t think you could pull something like that out quickly. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iBNHjTPCE24

  Who will Obama’s statement about slandering the prophet of Islam apply to when the Gay Mosque is leveled?

• Gas Station Clerk Shoots Assailant Who Punched Him in the Face…& Loses His Job

  I don’t think that the clerk is criminal in his actions, but the store owner is right for firing him. If the store was closed to the public and they were closing out registers, or doing the cleaning, why would you open the door to a hostile person. I’ve worked for stores like McDonald’s and small mom and pop grocery stores, and the one thing that stuck with me ,even in a small town of 3500 people at the time, was how jumpy the manager or owner was just trying to leave the store at night. At McDonald’s I was sent out to the parking lot by female managers all the time to make sure no one was there. I’ve seen them move their car in a manner that would prevent them from being boxed in once they get to their car even the male managers/owners practiced that. When you look at it from the owners perspective the clerk risked the owners property.
