Okay, I now see what your saying. But with the exception of a few quotes from some of the people in the article I more so got the feeling that many of them were questioning why our response to the attacks was so incompentant. They're right: why the hell did the Pentagon's defense systems not shoot down the plane heading for it? Me I don't question the WTC attacks, but I do think there's plenty fishy about the Pentagon attack and I do think there's a good chance that the plane that crashed in Penn. wasn't forced down by the passangers attacking the terrorists, but instead was shot down.
What you should be asking, MadMan, is why were there no fighter jets scrambled to intercept any of the errant flightcraft, the way it was done routinely and in accordance with standard procedures 60-some other times in 2001. Of particular interest is Norman Mineta's testimony to the 9/11 commission which conveniently never made it into the final report.
I didn't realize that since it wasn't in the article. It certainly is pretty definitive proof, but now what I want to know is what kind of shitty high school has 42 kids who'd narc on their classmates? That's so not wizard that I'd get Diablo to fry up those home skillets.
In that case, the school does have a right to get involved since they have testimony. My problem was that it sounded like they had nothing but red cups to back up the accusations.Quote:
I'm also hearing that the 13 kids who got disciplined signed a no-drinking contract with the team or whatever the hell it was they were involved with. I could be wrong, but if that's the case, then they did break school rules, and it's within the school's rights to punish them.

EXPOSED.

Actually I thought you knew for sure. Me, I'm only 70% sure, and I've heard it from many others that such batteries or missile launchers exist. *Shrug*
Ah hah! I knew it! *Sees little red beed appear on his chest. Runs like hell*
I also agree with everyone. The media who from the get go thought the kids were guility should also get fried, but sadly there doesn't seem to be many if any punishments for reporters getting their shit wrong too.
As for having sex in a public restroom, I wouldn't do it simply because those are usually really freakin' nasty. Your having sex in an area that at one point someone dropped a massive shit in, among other things. Yikes.
Father arrested for forcing son to wear Packers jersey
PORTAGE, Wis. (AP) -- Upset that his 7-year-old son wouldn't wear a Green Bay Packers jersey during the team's playoff victory Saturday, a man restrained the boy for an hour with tape and taped the jersey onto him.
Mathew Kowald was cited for disorderly conduct in connection with the incident with his son at their home in Pardeeville, Lt. Wayne Smith of the Columbia County Sheriff's Department said. Pardeeville is about 30 miles north of Madison.
The 36-year-old Kowald was arrested Monday after his wife told authorities about the incident. Kowald was taken to the county jail and held until Wednesday, when he pleaded no contest, paid a fine of $186 and was released.
Kowald's wife filed a restraining order Wednesday, so Kowald will not be able to have contact with his family, Smith said. Smith said other domestic issues have surfaced, though he wouldn't elaborate.
The boy refused to wear the jersey Saturday, when the Packers beat the Seattle Seahawks in a playoff game, Smith said. Smith said the incident sounded strange when reported at first, but the mother took pictures with her cell phone and that type of evidence is difficult to dispute.
Kowald, contacted later Wednesday by the Portage Daily Register, said the incident started as a joke. His son challenged him by saying he wouldn't root for the Packers. When he tied the boy up, the youngster was laughing while his wife took pictures, he said.
"Then he couldn't get out and he got upset and that's it. It lasted a minute," he said. "I didn't mean no harm, and he knows that, but I haven't been able to tell him that."
District Attorney Jane Kohlwey said there wasn't enough evidence to support felony charges.
"I wouldn't agree with what he did, but legally a parent can restrain a child," she said. "I have no proof of emotional damage. ... I have to follow the law.
