A 13-year-old Kansas 8^th grader says he was suspended from school for carrying a purse.

Skylar Davis says the Vera Bradley purse is his form of expression. He adds that girls carry purses, so he should be able to do the same. …

I think I still have that purse and it is still full of round balls. If it did not have some decorative triangles sewed on, it would look just like it was made for black powder.

[Starstruck]

Let them show their sin as Sodom?

Old Testament. After Christ's sacrifice we became individuals responsible for our individual salvation. The New Testament is God speaking to His Church not collectives. My salvation is not based on what my city, county, state, country or world does. It is solely dependent on my actions.

New Testament says “the scripture cannot be broken” (John 10:35)—Jesus’ own words. And most of the Old Testament prophecies are for the end times anyhow.

I don’t care. Not every asinine act by a 13 year-old calls for a government response.

I carry my husband’s balls in my purse, too.

***look just like it was made for black powder.***

I carry my black powder in a buffalo horn right next to the mascara I use for face camouflage.

So I got powder and face mascara . all in my purse;-D Laugh and I'll pull out my three pound Bowie and carve my initials on your chest!

I remember an old man years ago. He always went to town carrying a woman’s purse, but then he also rolled up his pants cuffs to mid calf. Weird

I remember an old man years ago. He would stick one leg in a little red wagon and push himself to town. When he got to town he would pull the wagon. Home was downhill so he would wave his arms as he rode home. We all knew he was not all there. Weird but not all there. I have trouble judging a lot of people because I don't understand a lot of people.

But on the other hand I don't pretend every thing is normal, I think just like you, weird.

Oh no! I ate the pork and the shrimp! I'm under the law. Doomed! I tell you! Doomed!

Missing the context?

Missing the context?

Must be.

I don’t care what you cal it, lock him, or any other male that carries one!!!

I used to carry .490 round balls in my wife’s old leather purse. Of course I was also carrying a .50 cal. TC. Hawken at the same time.

I need to get the old rifle out again. I don’t think I have fired it in 30 years.

That's also the only time a man can wear a fanny-pack and still be manly. They are very hand for keeping the muzzle-loading essentials at hand when hunting with a black-powder rifle.

He just needs to claim he’s gay. Then all will be forgiven.

He did.

I wear a man-purse when I leave the house. It’s actually a courier’s pouch. Makes totin’ those extra three magazines, a nice 4 inch blade, a flashlight, and my wallet and keys a breeze don’tchaknow.

Didn’t Johnny Cash sing a song about the perils of naming a boy feminine name?

[onedoug]

“He prefers David.”

How do we know that the picture is not that of some random girl and not the boy in question? There's no caption in the photo and there's no face so we have no idea who's in that picture. Journalism is so sloppy these days.

Anyway, I remember a time when girls could only wear dresses or skirts to school. They were not allowed to wear pants. Well if girls can now wear pants, why can't boys carry a purse? What exactly defines a purse anyhow? I carry around my laptop in a bag that goes over my shoulder like a purse. It's just more comfortable carrying it that way. I don't care what others have to say about it.

They were talking about this on the local radio today and his cousin called in to give her side.... He is wearing girls jeans in the picture because he is gay and dressing in girls’ clothing is how he ‘feels comfortable.” How an eighth grader decides he is queer and likes girls clothes I don’t understand but my guess is he is desperately looking for attention and his mother is encouraging this behavior. Our culture is sick and its condition is rapidly deteriorating.

LOL... I used my wife’s old heavy gauge canvas purse with a long shoulder strap to tote my shotgun shells when hunting dove and duck! It was excellent for the job, as it was medium beige and fit the color schemes.

The parents of Skylar should be ashamed for allowing him to carry a girly purse to school and suffer the humiliation I’m sure he received.
