Not only can't you give an Indian rope burn, you can't even talk about it. Might offend some one.
"Native American Rope Burn. " ROTFLMAO!!
Excuse me all to h*ll Chief! I guess I've been out in the bush way too long.
:)
I don't understand what all the fuss is about-all these rules at Culver Middle School were in effect at my middle school way back in 1960.
No one complained back then about them being unreasonable.
You had a girlfriend in EIGHTH Grade?
Man,I was so scared of girls back then it wasn't funny.All I cared about was would the Giants put Willie Mc Covey on First Base or Left Field at Candlestick each day.
Yeah, back then we weren't being taught that "we" the students had "rights" and school administration had to take a back seats to what "we" the students felt was our right.
No sports teams at all. No tagging the runner out, no screening a defender at the foul line... football? Forget about it. Then there is wrestling...
It was a transitory age. This was when you would touch a girl's hand and "feel funny."
But you wanted to "feel funny" some more, so you would "go around." A lip to lip kiss would put you in orbit for a week.
And the exquisite pain when it ended (as it must at that age). Your senses were full, the highs and the lows. Pain more painful, laugha much louder.
Kids today don't get to have that shy, slow approach IMHO. And they don't seem to get to experience that wonderful first love (or even second). It seems bangbang -- straight to sex.
Near as I can tell we are around the same age. McCovey was circa 1971?
Hmm...I had a 7th Grader classmate (14/15 y.o.? in 1969) pregnant/married to a 21.
5.5 kids by, the age of 19 y.o. in 1974.
Zero Tolerance = Zero thought required.
Why does a middle school student have a girlfriend? This is ridiculous.
I still wince every time I recall the weekly challanges for my first string wrestling position by Lorenzo Lamas. He rarely made it up to second string (only when the other guy opted to go up one weight class).
This is crazy. Kids are not allowed to be kids anymore.
no holding hands ?
liberal pc stuff is ruining America as we know it.
