Wow... Just wow. I start reading this board again after a couple months of paying no attention, and the first story I read makes me want to go back to ignoring it all again.
Will Society's stupidity never end? Or is it doomed to an eternity of freaking out over stupid shit?

I always wonder what the world will do when the kids stab each other with pens & pencils, or bash each other with books?
Ban them? After the first school does, I suspect there would be a rash of stabbings and bashings across the country until all pens, pencils and books were banned from all schools.

After they handcuffed the diabolical 10 year old arch-criminal, the PC do-gooders made sure she had a good supply of condoms & birth control pills with her....just in case she was plannning on having sex in between watching Hannah Montana and Goofy cartoons.

The girl was arrested for bringing a knife to school. Intent is not relevant to the issue.
When I was in school I brought a broadsword to class for a presentation. I made prior arrangements and had permission beforehand and the weapon was properly secured before and after class in a locked closet in the school office and I was escorted to and from class by the Vice-Principal (and I got an A).
Are you saying that as long as her intent is non-violent, she can bring any sort of weapon she wants? Suppose she brought a handgun with nothing but the purest and honost intentions, should 10 year olds be trusted with this responsibility or isn't it safer just to have a blanket rule?
In my business intent is often not an issue. It does however go to punishment. This was an honost mistake with no ill intent. She is guilty, but should not be punished. Its school, there's a lesson here, so they should give this girl room to learn it.

Hero,
What was the content of your broadsword presentation?

Quote:The competence of our education system is the issue, though. This school should have probably had the presents of mind and the responsibility to deal with this 10 year little girl without throwing her into the penal system.

I brought a broadsword to school too, to my 7th grade speech class. I was commended for my appropriate use of visual aides, not arrested. Look back on it, it wasn't a smart thing to do though. Any number of bad things could have happened. And the only way I got away with it was because I was extremely discreet and didn‘t let anyone know I had them until the presentation.

It was during the public speaking section of 11th grade English. Did a speech on the evolution of the sword in Western culture. Had a Masonic cerimonial sword too (but it was hardly a weapon).
I bought the sword during a school trip the prior summer from the sword makers in Toledo (Spain, the ones in Ohio are hacks). Watched them make it and then bought it.
Its actually quite nice and fairly valuable. Its locked in my Gun Cabinet now (although I think that makes it a Sword Cabinet since I keep my guns somewhere else). If you load you salt shaker with pepper does that make it a pepper shaker?

I think we'll all be doomed to eating mush with a spork.

When I went ot High School in the early 1980s we were allowed to bring our hunting rifles to school as long as they weren't loaded while in school grounds. I honestly believe the reason Vermont has such a low violent crime rate is because any law abiding citizen is allowed to carry a conceiled handgun anywhere in state, (except in airports I think)so nobody would think of robbing a store or of mugging an elderly woman, because you never know who is carrying.
