um...ok. I'm glad she was considerate enough to find cars with no children on them...I honestly don't know what else to say.

=D I'd have given her a dollar.

I can't believe the government is attempting to bring in a law which charges people for being on the road. It's already bad that we have to pay road tax to repair our roads (which BTW never get repaired) but now we are going to be charged for congestion! Making people pay money to use the road won't stop congestion.

Um. Whut?

Since when does one need proof of some sort of religion to allow their child to have long hair? This is utterly ridiculous. This is a child...he's not going on a job interview and expected to adhere to some corporate dress code. He's in ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.

What, it's okay for a little girl to come in with unkempt hair down to her ass, but it's not okay for a little boy? We're not talking about letting a little boy come in wearing panties, a dress, a bra, and heels...we're talking HAIR. Long, normal hair. It's not colored oddly. It's not moussed and spiked to the extreme. It's just...grown.

Seriously, pick your battles, people. Put your energy into, you know...more important issues with education, and not whether or not some little boy can have long hair.

What I don't get is why the school doesn't allow long hair. I think this is utterly ridiculous. Why does it matter if a child has long hair or not? And he needs proof? This school now angers me.

What a load.

Article wrote:"The students have better attendance, have better disciplinary behavior, and it has alleviated tension among students who might be distracted by dress," she said.

That's fine and dandy, but how exactly would this cause a distraction? If his hair was dyed purple and cemented in liberty spikes, then yes. Distracting. Cool, but distracting. That boy's hair is no more distracting than the long hair of any girl. We wouldn't want a sexist double standard, would we?

Article wrote:Baskin said many Native American tribes include hair length as a religious belief and if the case is litigated, a court will have to consider a number of factors. "Where does the religious tenet come from? Is it an organized religion or a personal set of beliefs?" she said.

It's called freedom of religion, not freedom of organized religion. If I choose to worship the color blue, that's my business. Whether it is organized or personal shouldn't be a factor.

I have an idea! Instead of using a bunch of resources to litigate this, how 'bout we put that effort into techin kidz 2 red? :D

This was on our news a few minutes ago. Definite "21st birthday" material here.

Incidentally, the family of the girl returned to the shop, and they opened the vending machine to let her pick out a toy each for herself and her sister.

Incidentally, can anyone pick how they enticed the girl out?

...where the fuck were the girl's parents?!

AnimatedEvey12 · Post by **AnimatedEvey12** » Fri Jul 18, 2008 6:25 pm

I saw that on Inside Edition.

...where the fuck were the girl's parents?!

From what Inside Edition reported, the girl's sister tried to tell their mother that the girl went in the vending machine but the mother didn't believe her until a little later.

Okay? But why were two small children wandering around seemingly alone?

That I have no clue, I would not let my kids at a young age walking around alone in a store.

EDIT: Something that made me go WTF today was this special on 20/20 called Sex In America. I went wtf when I heard that in Alabama it's perfectly legal to carry around a gun yet it's illegal to buy sex toys. I liked how John Stossel mentioned "No one has died from using a vibrator" unless he's mistaken, it's true.

Anonymous plays an internet joke on a Grandmother. Grandmother is unfamiliar in the ways of the Internet and doesn't get the LULZ.

Follow-up. The joke is explained, but Granny still doesn't get it and thinks that the people who put up the sign saying "Pool's Closed" are racists and homophobic. More LULZ insues

I love it when the Internet spills over into real life.
