Exactly. If it's socially unacceptable for kids in a school to read books(according to the bullies), then don't read books. Stupid geeks should know better than to read their books and get beat up for it.

Find me a case where the membership of this board  supported the actions of a man or woman who raped a child. Child-child, like a 9 year old that this thread is about., not some 17 year old that got his cock sucked by some batshit nuts teacher.

Would a 12 yr old work?
   


I was going to say that "Child-child" is an opinion.  Legally, until the person is age of majority/consent, there is no distinction as far as I'm concerned.  Yes, there is varying grades of abuse of a minor/pedo, but the point remains that it is still doing something with a child.  That said, I'm not judging anything, just qualifying my opinion.  

It was kind of satisfying to see that one guy get himself banned last week after talking about how beautiful some kid was.  (FYI was not a brony that got banned)

I see this as conform to the rules of society....      The same kid would get bullied if he had a LaRue Tactical pack in Berkeley schools.     You can be different, but you have to have either thick skin, or just be the baddest Mofo in the school..  


Or he can join the rest of the herd..

'Find me a case where the membership". Now we know that 300,000 plus will never agree on anything. There were plenty in that thread that were fine with some old woman offering a 12 year old a blowjob. Now you either posed a question with "the membership' knowing the outcome of that question or your question was part of the membership and not all. Also, all of the membership has never posted in one thread an opinion on anything. Shall we keep picking nits?

Society is the people around you. To kids, the other kids are the most important part of society. I guess, it would take the adults saying books are gay to justify that viewpoint though.

I think my phrasing and emphasis of the word "stereotype" was quite obvious. The leftist (stereotyping is cool, isn't it?)  had an opportunity to back off from accusing the membership of supporting pedophiles, and he doubled down on stupid. If one stereotypes any group on the board, there's much wailing and gnashing of teeth, but make blanket generalizations fof the entire board and that's somehow cool.

Oh, and I asked my 9 year old what he thought about a boy wearing a pony back pack, he said he couldn't believe that a kid would be that stupid or that the parents would let him.

Trust me I'm not defending him but if someone brings up a valid point I will defend it even if I don't like the poster. I don't see a majority opinion here on anything except firearms rights. I'm not saying what he said was cool. What I'm saying is he has a point. Think of some newcomers checking out arfcom and happening on that thread. What would their opinion be of the posters here? People confuse the majority of posters in a particular threads opinion on a subject for the majority of arfcoms. The point still stands that when you see a majority opinion, it is the same as when you see a majority in a poll.

20 years ago demrats sent their boys to public schools with barbie backpacks. Now boys can "feel" like girls without question. It's the LAW.

Yes, this boy is a victim. A victim of his liberal parents using him as a pawn of dem party leftwing progressive political change. Child parental guidance neglect. He will forever be branded by his peers as the dork and outcast because of his parents neglect and agenda to promote him as a victim of American values and culture on the internet. Instead of his parents teaching him common sense, friendship development, coping and assertiveness skills. When he turns 18 he can wear a pink tutu down mainstreet. Normal people will still tease point and laugh at at his dysfunctional choice, conduct and behavior.  



Dress must be conducive to a safe and orderly educational environment.

You'd be pretty wrong.

Outraged parents say their son's elementary school told their 9-year-old to leave his "My Little Pony" backpack at home after the boy complained that he was bullied for bringing it to school.

Noreen and her husband, Josh, both of whom work at a local restaurant, were shocked by the response.

When Grayson's parents reported that the school principal banned Grayson’s backpack, friends of the Bruce family set up a Facebook page in support of Grayson. By Wednesday afternoon, the page had attracted more than 55,000 supporters.

So basically no one in this child's life is going to help teach him how to be a boy and understand society.
What next do we make laws that you can't hurt people's feelings? Because kids like him can't stay in school forever.

The OP is a homosexual and it is worth noting that homosexuals have a vested interest in seeing society's controls for ordering itself destroyed and that is why he is happy to see a boy be completely failed by everyone who should be helping him.

How about schools stop pretending they give a crap about ending bullying. then try to quietly blame the students who are bullied, until it makes national headlines. Then they all back step and apologize. Its a perfect example of "I don't know how to, or want to deal with the problem, so we wont go after the root cause, but the victim" Sound like our own government, you know, the ones who blame gun owners instead of criminals?

ETA, I not trying create negative responses. But the people calling a 9 year olds a little faggot are OK?
Walk through a bad area of a large city at night to get a Slurpee. Now when you are beaten, stabbed or shot for being different are you the victim, or a dumb ass. Like it or not kids are cruel. The school cannot stop all bullying. What are you going to do as a parent?

I have no dog in this game, but:

Colonel Grayson M.-P. Murphy-  He had previously attended Haverford College and was a volunteer in the Spanish-American War. He also attended the United States Military Academy and was a lieutenant in the Philippine-American War. At various other times he was a Senior Vice-President of Guaranty Trust Company, Chief Commissioner of the American Red Cross in Europe, and Lieutenant-Colonel in charge of operations, 42nd Division. He was also Founder and Head of G.M.-P. Murphy & Co., Treasurer of the American Liberty League and a recipient of the Army Distinguished Service Medal, as authorized by Congress on July 9, 1918.

Captain Grayson M-P. Murphy ( different guy )- Enlisting in the Army, he served as a captain and saw action in the Battle of the Bulge and other engagements.
In 1975, he was elevated to senior partner of Shearman & Sterling, a position he held until his retirement in 1977.

Harvard College and Law School

He was on the board of a number of his clients, including the Georgia-Pacific Corporation, the Celanese Corporation, the United States and Foreign Securities Corporation, New York City Omnibus and ASA Ltd.

I don't get the "brony" thing and think it's ridiculous.  Then again, I think a lot of things people do are ridiculous.  

That said, where is the line drawn?  One of the purposes of the U.S. Constitution is to protect the against the tyranny of the majority (I bring in the Constitution because it is after all the state making decisions here ie. the school).  An unpopular view or behavior, as long as it doesn't harm anyone else, should be protected.  Back to my question:  Where is the line drawn?

This is a question that goes back to the founding of our country.  Today, most people would think a segregated military is ridiculous.  But that wasn't always so.

Uhm, it wasn't his backpack that was causing all the trouble.





Unlessen of course you think inanimate objects are the cause of violence. If so, that would an odd thing to believe on a firearms discussion forum.

That said, where is the line drawn?  One of the purposes of the U.S. Constitution is to protect the against the tyranny of the majority (I bring in the Constitution because it is after all the state making decisions here ie. the school).  An unpopular view or behavior, as long as it doesn't harm anyone else, should be protected.  Back to my question:  Where is the line drawn?



Precisely.

I have no issue with this kid liking My Little Pony or him wearing a backpack depicting it, but if he gets bullied, and the school says "maybe you shouldn't do something voluntarily that's causing you to get bullied" and the kid fights for his backpack that's causing all the trouble, I see somewhere where a line must be drawn.


Uhm, it wasn't his backpack that was causing all the trouble.

Unlessen of course you think inanimate objects are the cause of violence. If so, that would an odd thing to believe on a firearms discussion forum.


 

It was the bullies of course, causing the trouble, but the backpack was akin to having one of those 'Kick me" signs placed on your back.

Of course an inanimate object won't CAUSE violence.

Or it's like wearing an American flag on Cinco de Mayo.



Or it's like wearing an NRA shirt with a picture of a gun.



It's all nonsense, so don't blame the backpack OR the kid wearing it.

I may be a wow nerdgin and a "lore geek"(if you are a 90s kid, you MUST be a fan of Blizzard, otherwise you are no 90s kid)...but damn

even I think that's pretty darn g.a.y.

I don't think at the age of 11 (or ANY age) I was wearing Warcraft-themed tshirts. You would never catch me read a WoW-based book(unless at home )
...so, the "outside" world doesn't even know who I am...well, I do have a small WOW alliance lion decal on my back car window...

Alliance is far gayer than MLP.

Look, wearing an MLP backpack to school is inviting bullying, the same way leaving a wallet on the seat of an unlocked car is theft.

However, it still takes somebody willfully being a piece of shit to act on it. So... how about the school just drop the hammer on bullies? You know, like they agreed to do after the backpedaling?

People should be wise enough not to do the things that single them out for a special kind of ridicule and abuse.


They should be free to do as they please, but sensible enough to judge the time, the place, the audience, and the likely reception they will get.


The school acted in good faith and with the best interests of the kid in question in mind.  


While I enjoy MLP, don't think for a second that I'm going to decorate my desk at my workplace with all manner of pony
related merch, even if you assumed I HAD any.  (I don't.)    

If wearing a specific shirt or backpack to school means you'll probably get your ass kicked,  you should exercise better judgement and
NOT wear it to school.

Judgement BEFORE the action is better than having to restrain others AFTER the act.
