Dunno, in France, at schools, you're just not allowed to swear, period. Well, that was like that back when I was at school, at least.

Ok, that's just too easy. I'll forego the France-bashing for now. :D

Post by: Ford Prefect on January 24, 2005, 02:08:31 pm: These bleeding-heart social control freaks have no understanding of the concept that you can't tackle bigotry by telling people not to use the words. Besides, what exactly is every other week of the year? Call Everyone A Faggot Week?

Anyhow, the insults and profanities flying through the corridors are a crucial part of the school ambience. Name-calling makes high school magical.

"Schools should be steering kids away from identifying as gay," Knight said. "You can teach civility to kids and tell them every child is valued without conveying the message that failure to accept homosexuality as normal is a sign of bigotry."

Pretty fine line they're trying to walk there.

The initiative was developed by the New York-based Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network

Oh no! The poor hermaphrodites, they're always so marginalized!

What exactly is the point of having a Gay, Lesbian and Straight association?? Apparently, everyone is a minority now, and needs to be specially identified, lest they feel inadaquet. It would be to simple and straight-forward to just make it "for everyone"....Or are we specifically seeking to exclude those damn no good eunichs.

I noticed that as well... odd. But I think top spot on the weirdness tree needs to be reserved for this:

If you were someone like Tom Brady and threw a football at about say... 30 odd MPH or more, would the same muscle kick in during wanking? That could chafe.
