RV, if insulting is using f bombs, everything I have said still applied. So now you have Ds that want to mimic Trump and insult him with with f bombs where he doesn't do that. It is stupid and adolescent. But of course you are all for your leadership to act like idiot teens. Well, you would be one of the vast minority that is impressed by this conduct. mspart

We need to get back to if you get in trouble in school it is 10 times worse for you at home. Parents need to support the school's attempts at discipline. That doesn't happen. It's not about beatings. Although the threat of the electric paddle at my elementary school kept most of us at bay. Nobody wanted to find out about that beast the Principal had in her office. I think I got spanked at school from 1st through 5th grade. At least once. We moved from AL to WA in 6th grade and the new school did not spank. The Jr high didn't either, but the new jr high did with a huge paddle with holes. I had a choice, clean up the lunch room or get the swat. I took the swat. That was 9th grade and that was the last time I got swatted. For all the beatings, I did not turn out too bad. They were pretty mild really. But I sure didn't want any of that mess to get back to my mom or dad. No way!! mspart

Agree. Some kids find out from experience or friends that CPS is a great threat. Accuse abuse and you can be removed. Kids can usually get what they want if they push the right buttons. On the other hand, if parents do not support the school disciplinary measures, what is the school to do? Suspend? Expel? Get sued for doing so? Both the Education system and parents are at fault here and they are failing the kids. mspart

Personal insults can be quite imaginative. Hurling an Fbomb is not. A great insult shows good vocabulary, a mastery of the language and education. The Fbomb does not. Try as you might RV, but the Fbomb is not on the level of Don Rickels. The Fbomb is for lazy people who can't figure out a way to speak without it. It is for the untrained orator. It is debasing in reality which is why FCC doesn't allow it. mspart

F bombs show a total lack of imagination, proper English, vocabulary, education etc. That is where the Ds are right now. There is a reason the FCC will fine a radio or tv station if they broadcast such language. mspart

Gee, the usual suspects don't seem happy about this. No comment whatsoever. MS-13 guy would just as soon rip your head off as look at you. mspart

If the school tries to discipline the kid and the parents cause a stink, there goes any discipline that can be handed out. Parents are definitely in that mix. mspart

I agree with your statement about parents. That is absolutely true. Curriculum changes have nothing to do with parents nor do the school's acceptance of decreasing demonstrated abilities and call that acceptable. Parents play a major role in the how the kid acts at school for sure. If Johnny is convinced his parents won't get on his case, he won't read. mspart

The key here is that schools are failing and the US Dept of Ed is not doing anything to stop that trend. This seems to be a systemic problem. Kids are not getting stupider. Teaching is not as effective, topics are not concentrating on rudimentary skills, and there is no practice to make perfect. We are not expecting enough of our kids and they are meeting those expectations unfortunately. We are raising a generation of morons in a world where smart people will rule the world. These poor kids will get steamrolled. Now for political commentary. The Ds have run this system forever, so it is their intent as measured by results to keep America as dumb as possible so they an steamroll America. This is the Ds legacy and it is very clear to see. They are the ones teaching about race and gender identity rather than teaching the kids to read and write and do grade level math. They are the ones that lower expectations because the brown and black kids just can't do the hard work because well, they are brown and black. So we pass them along and say they are getting good grades when they obviously can't read or write or do basic math. This is the result of D rule of the schools for the last 50 years. Quite the legacy. mspart

This is why the Dept of Ed is saying bye bye. mspart

Grasping at straws to defend your illegitimate opinions. You never disappoint. The protests are all over the internet. mspart

Thanks for sharing. Not sure what was classified info but that is more than I've seen on the topic. Unlike RV, when asked you provided info, thank you. mspart

Was there classified info disclosed? You laughing does not show that to be true. I don't know what was said and haven't looked at anything that the Atlantic has published on the matter. That's why I put if in there. If you know please share the details. Please laugh out loud with some evidence if the laughing is well founded. I for one would appreciate any knowledge you have on the matter. mspart

He forgets that when he is asked for proof of his statement he gives more opinion. He has no basis for holding the position that he does. mspart

RV perhaps the news is true no matter who is reporting it. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/anti-hamas-slogans-gaza-protest-war-israel-ceasefire-rcna198125 March 26, 2025, 2:44 AM PDT By Chantal Da Silva In a rare show of dissent, anti-Hamas slogans were shouted by some protesters as hundreds of people gathered in northern Gaza to call for an end to the war. Does that make you feel better now? mspart

I don't disagree. Who I listen to on radio are poo pooing this. They wouldn't have with Biden or Obama that's for sure. If true that no classified info was given, that's lucky. Whoever let the journalist on needs to be fired. Period. A review of the use of signal should be happening now. mspart

If Dan Gable came up now, he would be highly successful because he would be Dan Gable with all the mental toughness and better techniques etc. Would he be a one loss for HS and College. Maybe not. But he would be a champion in my opinion. mspart

I'd say a big upset was Rob Rohn vs Josh Lambrecht. Not on the scale of Owings/Gable or Gable/Hendrickson, but a stunner no less. He won the Gorrarian award that year for most pins in the least time. His last four matches ended with a pin. There's one we don't discuss much. mspart
