Even in "good schools" like Klein, kids are hauled off campus for being armed every day. And NOBODY is talking about making it legal for a 16 year old to carry a gun, you are building a straw man argument. I'm talking about YOU or your fellow TEACHERS and ADMINISTRATORS being able to carry a weapon.<BR/><BR/>Stop trying to confuse the issue because it won't work.Rorschachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11848860674369931761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13598068.post-38033368438081989312007-05-02T01:04:00.000-05:002007-05-02T01:04:00.000-05:00So this is where the anger comes from -- these com...So this is where the anger comes from -- these comments. I piss people off when I don't give them a free ride. Students piss each other off as well -- far more than I do. Students generally have problems with me at the end of a term, usually after having done nothing to progress their education. You can get yourself in a twit trying to psychoanalyse me over the internets, but per usual this is all just comments on a rinky-dink blog.<BR/><BR/>Also, sweety, I have lived in this state my entire life. I know how to get along with people who may have guns, but seriously, guns have no place in a classroom. Your chosen governor may try to make you think he's with you. You'd be fooled again though.michilineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17928316324462439074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13598068.post-90475005574766042272007-05-01T00:20:00.000-05:002007-05-01T00:20:00.000-05:00Yes I've had problems with teachers, but you see, ...Yes I've had problems with teachers, but you see, I have NEVER, EVER, even CONTEMPLATED shooting them over it. FIRED? Sure, several times, but never shot.<BR/>If you are so good at pissing people off (and I admit, you do seem to have the knack), perhaps the problem lies with YOU. You need to stop assuming everyone else is an asshole and start realizing the asshole in question is yourself. An armed society is a polite one. Perhaps if you realized that a lot of people you come in contact with on a daily basis ARE armed (and yes, quite a few ARE), you might just learn civility. It would be welcomed by all I'm sure.Rorschachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11848860674369931761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13598068.post-79269504153783049172007-04-30T23:00:00.000-05:002007-04-30T23:00:00.000-05:00Clearly you have never had a problem with any teac...Clearly you have never had a problem with any teacher ever.<BR/><BR/>If you have, and you had a gun, and you got angry enough to use that gun, then it is left up to who has the surest shot or the quickest draw.<BR/><BR/>I piss people off -- deservedly or not -- to know that if students, faculty or anybody had a gun on campus -- I would be toast.<BR/><BR/>If that is what you want -- and you very well may want that -- so be it.<BR/><BR/>I'll never carry or own a gun.<BR/><BR/>I guess you should just shoot me now and be done with it.michilineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17928316324462439074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13598068.post-14458834962493926122007-04-30T07:43:00.000-05:002007-04-30T07:43:00.000-05:00How so?
