I like Radar. He's not afraid to be controversial, arrogant or downright rude, and often hits the nail on the head in the most annoying way possible. Respect.

Sure, but he's wrong this time. The teacher should not be jailed. Radar is insane if he really believes that.

Does he really believe that? Or is that what's generally taken to be humorous exaggeration...?

The punishment has to be largely related to intent, really. And how do you determine that?

LN - please refer to the group sex thread. You might find some tips.

One parent who complained characterized the tape as hard-core pornography, but Chambers said she didn't view the tape and couldn't confirm its contents. Administrators were watching security camera tapes to try to determine who made the switch.
Of course, we are left trying to figure out what constitutes 'hard-core pornography' in Chamblee, Georgia.

Britney Spears? The Learning Channel?

Anyone that believes this is a prank is a twit. Being incapacitated is scary and has no humor at all. This is bullying of the worst sort.

Anyone who believes it's anything other than a prank or that it's "scary" is an asshole who can't take a joke. Being tied up IS a joke and doesn't harm anyone. Being locked up for days is not a joke, but for a little while at a shool, give me a fucking break!

These are the same kind of retards who had a 6 year old boy kicked out of school for sexual harassment when he kissed a 6 year old girl or had a kid thrown out of high school for taking aspirin because their "no tolerance" drug policy, etc.

It's a prank! Get over it, and get over yourselves. If you claim this isn't a prank, you need to pull your head out of your ass immediately.

I am squarely in Radar's corner on this one. So many people are so self-important these days that anyone who offends them or messes with them has to do twenty years of hard time.

And I'm not sure the teacher is the Nancy-boy, either. From reading the story, it looks to me that a deputy is the one who decided to make an issue of it.

In this case they are talking about the possibility of 15 days in prison.

Of course, if convicted, this would be the "first strike" for these kids. The next mistake would put them in prison for life.

Not it is not a joke. Anytime anyone is forced against their will, it is definately not a joke.

You are probably the sort of guy who gave "swirlies" in high school weren't you? Well, what goes around, comes around, and some day you will get yours.

Oh, and Radar? Learn to read. I never advocated jail time for these youths. But they sure do need discipline of some sort.

The only discipline they should get is less than a slap on the wrist. The extent of it should be someone saying, "Now boys! That's not nice."

And I've taken my share of pranks and dished them out. I've had my pants yanked off by a whole boyscout troop and had them pulled up a flag pole. I've picked up freshmen and dropped them butt first in trashcans, etc.

Get over it. Sheese! If you're so uptight that you dwell on something so trivial, you need to seek professional help.

You know for someone who spouts as much as you do about the constitution, you don't seem to care about the rights of that teacher.

this may not surprise some of you, but I've done that too. poor kid. in retrospect, i feel like a dick for doing it, but it was hysterical at the time. It took him 5 minutes of rocking back and forth to finally tip the 50 gallon drum over in order to get out. I think i was in 8th grade at the time. boys WILL be boys.
