It hurts when I laugh. Then don't.

It's not his fault
Boy who zapped his nipples during shop class sues

“K

yle Dubois and his parents claim teacher Thomas Kelley did not warn Dubois and other students of the dangers of the electrical demonstration cords in their electrical trades class.

On March 11, Dubois attached an electrical clamp to one nipple while another student attached another clamp to the other. A third student plugged in the cord.

”

"Dubois' suit contends he suffered permanent brain damage." That may be hard to prove. I do note that the shop teacher resigned, which opens the possibility that he assigned the nipple zapping, but I see that as doubtful. Either way, I'll let this incident stand as my answer to this bit of silliness.

An ignorant dickweed said...: I want to raise the voting age to 25, not lower it.
We let stupid adults vote. Why not smart youth?
THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A SMART YOUTH. When you grow up, you become an adult. Youth is for the immature, the immature shouldn't vote.; 8/31/10, 3:41 PM
Anonymous said...: The argument for dropping majority from 21 to 18 was that eighteen year olds can serve in the miltary, so they should be able to vote. Fine, if you are in the military, you can vote at 18 or 17 even. Otherwise STFU, and you can't vote until you're at least 21 and pass a civics test. IMHO, half the 27 year olds are too addlebrained to be allowed the franchise and every voter should have to pass a civics test to receive the franchise.
See why you need to elect me King for a week? Then I'll abdicate in favor of TRKOF.

Anonymous said...: I think you should have to pass a civics test AND an IQ test (minimum score 100) in order to vote. These ignorant dickweeds that elected Obama should be eradicated from the voting rolls. These requirements would also eliminate the voting of dead people - unless they were very very smart dead people.; 8/31/10, 4:06 PM

"Don't let women vote. They vote for socialism."

Ok Anonymous.. First off I would be willing to bet that I am more Conservative than you...

About the link;
The problem with children voting is that they are impressible/freshly indoctrinated and immature, This is not about doing what is right it is the left wanting the impressible/freshly indoctrinated and immature zombies out there serving them.

This moron was probably trying to impress his friends. A teacher is not capable of preventing all instances of when some idiot is deliberately trying to do harm to themselves.

Morons.

So now they can vote in an arrogant socialist, racist, pouting wetback as president but cannot legally buy a beer.

David said...: I have always been in favor of every congressman, senator the moment they arrive in Washington are sat down and given a high school civics final that they have to score an 85% or better on, a freshman college level macro and micro economics test that they must score a 85% or better on, and the citizenship test that legal immigrants must pass to get their green cards. If they fail any of these tests they are immediately sent home and their state told to send us someone else. No retests, no second chances and you can't run for that office again for another 20 years.

As far as voting ages go - 18 if you are active duty military, all others must be 21.; 8/31/10, 10:31 PM
Randy Rager said...: Having served with a bunch of 18 year old active duty military types, I don't think they should be allowed to vote, either.

Minimum voting age should be 25, and you should have to pass the high school civics final, macro + micro economics final and citizenship test to be allowed.

You should be required to carry a gun at all times to maintain the right to vote, whether you're in the military or not.; 9/1/10, 12:51 AM
