This is appropriate. You were a dick for doing it. This kind of thing is a power trip. It also indicates, I think, a lack of empathy for others.

"Boys will be boys."

Yeah, I realize stuff like this happens. That doesn't make it right.

IT'S TRUE. I was a dick. I used to be a bit of a bully in jr high. i've mellowed since. i havent been in an actual fight since i was 12 yrs old.

YOU WERE THE KID WHO BEAT ME UP IN SIXTH GRADE!!!

Fuck you man!!! How have you redeemed your self!!!

i have redeemed myself. I saved several dorks from certain beatings in high school. One kid named Forest in particular. A kid named sean that was all covered in muscle was going to beat him up for being prissy. i had but to ask him nicely not to as a favor to me. Forest was very grateful. Then, Irony took over. several years later, my girlfriend in college cheated on me with Forest.

feel better?

Phew! That was close!

Couln't see the wood for the forest, huh.:)
Make UT feel better, sell him some speakers.

nice memory:thumb:

once, my boss filled a coworkers car up to the door handles with sawdust. It was in retaliation for the giant red cock and balls he had drawn on the roof of my boss's van in chalk powder. ah, fun times, man. fun times.

cougar, keep that kind of thing in the group sex thread where it belongs.

and you're right. I know nothing about this, but I think that on it's face, it's wrong. The fact that the teacher escaped, however, goes to the intent of the boys. If they REALLY wanted this guy taped to the chair, he wouldn't have escaped. They let him up when they realized that it was a bad idea, and the teacher wasn't getting the joke. They shouldn't have done it. They should have known better. In the present clime, this kind of thing is unacceptable.

I'm betting that one of these kids has a father that wishes he never told his son about the time that they taped old mr so and so to his chair when THEY were in school. And a mother that is REALLY REALLY pissed off at her husband.

You learned that from Dave, didn't you.:haha:

Wrong, it's EXACTLY the same.

Well if you want to get technical about it, no person on earth has a right to touch another person for any reason without asking them, but it's done all the time. It's a bit crowded here.

I'll go with the timeless wisdom of "Fuck 'em if they can't take a joke"

I'd love to go to Vietnam and tie up my wife. Let's go! And if I'm not one of the guys, I'm sure her cousins can do it. Someone you know (like your students) tying you up isn't the same as having someone you don't know tie you up.

Your so fucking stupid I bet you'd sue someone if they squirted you with a water pistol. I think when you fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down, one of them got stuck up your ass and it had a bug on it.

It's either a right or it's not. I don't remember any "Fuck 'em if they can't take a joke" amendment. Different people have different kinds of humor. Some have no sense of humor at all. That doesn't invalidate their rights.

When a person resorts to personal insult you know that 1) They're not really sure of their argument and 2) They're trying to get the upper hand by being hurtful. Which, when you think about it, shows why Radar identifies with the boys and not the teacher.

OC was drawing an analogy. The fact that two people commented negatively on it just goes to show that it is not funny when it happens to you and yours.

P.S. If you're going to call someone stupid, you really ought to proofread before you post.

Sigh, if only life were that simple.:blunt:

Wrong Mr. False dichotomy. There are more than just rights and non-rights. There are priviledges, and traditions, and customs. There is a sailors tradition in the U.S. Navy that is more than 300 years old (Since before there was a U.S. Navy). Everyone who has previously sailed across the International dateline is called an "honorable shell back" and those who haven't are called "pollywogs". When you cross the International dateline the shell backs drag all the pollywogs (including officers) onto the deck of the ship, beat them with rubber hoses, make them crawl through rotten and disgusting trash, make them take an olive/cherry out of a fat guys belly button with grease and cajun pepper and stuff all over his belly so it gets in your eyes, etc. and otherwise torture you for awhile. It's a right of passage and everyone does it.

A dickhead like you would try to bring people up on charges. Do they have a right to do this? No. Is it expected? Yes. Will you get very far if you try to complain about it? No. Will you have any friends if you try to make a stink about it? Hell No. Everyone will know you as the asshole you are.

Our rights don't come from amendments. Nice try though. Nobody said pulling pranks on others was a "right". But it is a right of passage. And if you're such an asshole that you call the cops when someone pulls a harmless prank on you (Yes this is a harmless prank and it's a funny one at that), than you're the one with the problem, not the people joking with you.

You can count yourself as stupid too buddy. I'd be MORE than happy to compare my intellect to yours any time. Although it's sort of comparing a speed bump (you) to Mt Everest (me....well, maybe not Everest, but at least Mt Wilson)
