CAROLE: I think that SKY NEWS is a British channel, but she is probably the most annoying discussion leader I've ever seen. I really don't know why anyone would watch the show. She's that annoying!

KissMyTail: Annoying? She's so far beyond merely annoying that I have a hard time seeing how you could fail to list at least some of the other negative aspects of her personality. Here's a start: pig-headed, stupidly obstinate, arrogantly opinionated, aggravatingly dim-witted, intellecually constipated, obnoxious, abhorrent, insufferably loathsome, etc.

We Finally Know Why Buses Don't Have Seatbelts
This is something I never spent any time worrying about, but it's an interesting discussion nevertheless.

Lawsuit: School Strip-Searched An 8-Year-Old Because Someone Found Feces On A Bathroom Floor
Definitely not a wise course of action under any circumstances. Obviously this kind of thing is going to cause people to be upset.
Having discovered diarrhea on the bathroom floor, school administrators decided to do something no school administrator should do: they pulled the 8-year-old child ("W.B." in the lawsuit) into the office, stripped him down, and "searched his naked rectal area" for evidence of floor-pooping.

Sixth grader: Classmates assaulted me, cut my dreadlocks
Quick post: A couple friends and I just watched this news clip and we all agree that it doesn't seem believable. We agree that it's more likely than not that she's lying.

All it takes to be MORE LIKELY THAN NOT is 51%. I'd say that chances that she's lying are somewhere above 80%, maybe even 90%. I've become increasingly skeptical of stories like these in recent years since so many have turned out to be hoaxes.

recluse: We put the odds that she's lying at about 75% and so I guess that makes you a little more cynical than us! :laugh:

DREADLOCKS HOAX: I totally agree that it's highly likely that the story is completely made up. She undoubtedly cut her hair herself. She just wants a little attention and a chance to play the victim card. Look at how well it's paid off already! GEEZ!

No ‘concrete evidence’ in Trona High School shooting threat
So there was a threat, but nobody seems to know who made the threat. That's odd....
Trona High School took precautions Monday morning after receiving information Sunday night about a rumor of a student talking about school shootings, according to an announcement made by Trona High Principal Joseph Wolfe via social media. “As of right now, we are unaware of the identification of the student who may have said this,” Wolfe said in an announcement posted on Trona High School’s Facebook page Monday afternoon. “We identified the student that heard it and that student cannot remember exactly what was said and who said it.”

cactuspete: Sounds like a bunch of BS to me. If there was a threat made, then someone needs to do some explaining. Somebody is protecting someone and that much is pretty obvious. Anything that was posted on social media can be tracked and there ain't a social media company in the world that won't cooperate with this kind of investigation.
