If their motive was not to "scare" the student body with someone dressed in army fatigues.. I guess I would be less harsh upon their screwed up judgement. With the fear of school violence, I could see someone thinking that it might be a good idea to refrain from it.. in error.

But if it was truly because it might offend someone.. then any freedoms we have are pretty much even more meaningless than thought. Can't imagine the anger someone that has actually served might feel towards the decision.

Dumb a$$ decision... happens often.

It's not what I would've posted in this thread, but surely you can see where he's coming from.

It's pretty likely that this story will air on Fox with a headline like "Democrats want to ban soldiers from educational system", while it's about an isolated incident.

A very bad one, at that.

My response is as follows:

It might air on FOX. Does that make it NOT news worthy?
My other question is: what other media channel would air it? FOX is the only one that DARES to air news stories that are not slanted in favor of liberalism.
I guess that's reason enough to not like FOX NEWS for some.

I'd like to be the Lt.Colonels attorney. Not only would I get a nice payday from this case, but I could set up a college trust fund for daughter. This case may also teach the schools students to not be offended by military uniforms, but to have respect for it and the man/woman that wears it. [twocents]

Fox News shouldn't be called Fox News. Rather, Fox Right Wing Circlejerk or something.

But what I meant wasn't that I wanted to attack Fox in its entirety. I've watched CNN and was far from impressed there, as well. News on news channels don't really bring... news. Rather opinionated pieces that are largely factless and slanted to whichever side of the political spectrum they're on.

Again.. it would be in error.. but I could see somebody in today's society doing that. Nothing more.

You can't imagine what some people present to the school board in terms of "improving" security.. there are some.. "interesting" ideas that come through. From security badges with multiple scanning points (including restrooms) that would track student movements and they would be sent home if they didn't have their card to not allowing cargo type pants with pockets larger than an index card.

What made it worse is that I assumed we had gotten past the "Yellow Journalism" stage. We have not.

I remember sitting in a classroom back in the early 70's and the teacher told us a joke that was making the rounds in Moscow. I don't recall how she would have known this but it has stuck with me for a lot of years.

At that time the Soviet news agency was TASS. Even though the word is an acronym for Telegrafnoe Agentstvo Sovetskovo Soyuza (Telegraph Agency of the Soviet Union in English). As such TASS came to represent the word "News".
One of the major newspapers was Pravda and that meant "Truth".

The Russian joke was there is no truth in the "News" and there is no news in the "Truth".

Zero2Cool (21h) : Packers are gonna get 3rd place division schedule next year.

Mucky Tundra (22h) : Kanata, seek help! lol

beast (27-Dec) : I was rooting for the Bears to win and hurt their draft pick status

Zero2Cool (27-Dec) : Forgot there was even a game last night haha

TheKanataThrilla (27-Dec) : That was terrible.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Dec) : Watching that game in its entirety yesterday is proof positive that I am a football addict.

beast (27-Dec) : And horrible time management multiple times... and not being able to score more than 3 points on a team with talent

beast (27-Dec) : Realizing the Bears didn't fix it from the previous week and do the same thing, getting the game to overtime

beast (27-Dec) : They probably are not tanking, but they've absolutely mismanagement some things, such as Vikings seeing the Packers blocked FG and realizing

Zero2Cool (27-Dec) : Crazy of Bears to have that mindset that is

Zero2Cool (27-Dec) : Hail Mary stop away from 5 - 2. Not sure how that flips to tanking. Crazy mindset if true

beast (27-Dec) : I've quietly questioned if Bears are tanking on purpose... they suddenly got a lot worse with some simple concepts like 101 clock management

wpr (27-Dec) : Watching bares fans melt down over how putrid their team is, so enjoyable. It's the gift that keeps on giving.

Mucky Tundra (27-Dec) : The Seattle Seahawks defeat the Chicago Bears 6-3. Jason Myers had 6 RBIs for Seattle while Cairo Santos had 3 RBI for Chicago

beast (27-Dec) : Not nessarily, he might of been injured either way. He's playing about 50% of the games the last 4 years

Zero2Cool (26-Dec) : If they'd been more patient with him, he'd be back already. Putting him out there vs Bears caused him to tweak it and here we are.

packerfanoutwest (26-Dec) : well this is his last season with the PAck, book it

beast (26-Dec) : Sounds like no Alexander (again), I'm wondering if his time with the Packers is done

Zero2Cool (26-Dec) : Could ban beast and I still don't think anyone catches him.

Mucky Tundra (26-Dec) : Houston getting dog walked by Baltimore

packerfanoutwest (25-Dec) : Feliz Navidad!

Zero2Cool (25-Dec) : Merry Christmas!

beast (25-Dec) : Merry Christmas 🎄🎁

beast (24-Dec) : Sounds like no serious injuries from the Saints game and Jacobs and Watson should play in the Vikings game

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : both games Watson missed, Packers won

Martha Careful (24-Dec) : I hope all of you have a Merry Christmas!

Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Oh I know about Jacobs, I just couldn't pass up an opportunity to mimic Zero lol

buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : Jacobs was just sat down, Watson re-injured that knee that kept him out 1 game earlier

buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : I needed .14 that's. .14 points for the whole 4th quarter to win and go to the SB. Lol

Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Jacobs gonna be OK???

Zero2Cool (24-Dec) : Watson gonna be OK???

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : Inactives tonight for the Pack: Alexander- knee Bullard - ankle Williams - quad Walker -ankle Monk Heath

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : No Jaire, but hopefully the front 7 destroys the line of scrimmage & forces Rattler into a few passes to McKinney.

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : minny could be #1 seed and the Lions #5 seed

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : We'd have same Division and Conference records. Strength of schedule we edge them

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I just checked. What tie breaker?

bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes its possible but unlikely. If we do get the 5th, we face the NFCS winner

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ahh, ok.

bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes due to tie breaker

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I mean, unlikely, yes, but mathematically, 5th is possible by what I'm reading.

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : If Vikings lose out, Packers win out, Packers get 5th, right?

bboystyle (23-Dec) : Minny isnt going to lose out so 5th seed is out of the equation. We are playing for the 6th or 7th seed which makes no difference

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : beast, the ad revenue goes to the broadcast company but they gotta pay to air the game on their channel/network

beast (23-Dec) : If we win tonight the game is still relative in terms of 5th, 6th or 7th seed... win and it's 5th or 6th, lose and it's 6th or 7th
