Do you have a link? *NM* lord-of-shadow Send a noteboard - 20/11/2009 04:22:47 AM
The Daily Show just did an awesome, awesome segment on it. Will add link as soon as they put it on the site. I think MGB in particular will appreciate it.

Also, after seeing a bit of footage of the kid himself, I no longer thing he's a dork or acting as a tool for his parents. He's just a really smart child, probably one with liberal parents, but still thinking for himself. I mean, I was 11 when I first visited wotmania, and I already had strong opinions on LGBT rights then (which in fact differed from my parents' ). So yeah, I can buy that. I think we can be a bit too quick to dismiss kids at times.

Like I said, I'll add it once the segment's up on their website. The show's still airing now. *NM* Lupine - 20/11/2009 04:23:45 AM 67 Views
I saw him on the news the other day too. I thought he was a rude little smart-ass. everynametaken - 20/11/2009 04:28:26 AM 422 Views
good point. LadyLorraine - 20/11/2009 04:35:18 AM 207 Views
What did he say to his teacher? Lupine - 20/11/2009 04:55:50 AM 201 Views
Okay, I googled. Lupine - 20/11/2009 05:46:44 AM 377 Views
Agreed. Ghavrel - 20/11/2009 07:30:15 AM 247 Views
Re: what disciplinary approach would you use? Just curious. *NM* Lupine - 20/11/2009 07:58:53 AM 72 Views
At this point... everynametaken - 20/11/2009 10:31:06 PM 275 Views
Something very mild. Like a stern talking-to. Ghavrel - 21/11/2009 02:37:19 AM 169 Views
I'd buy him a present for telling a sub that. Tom - 20/11/2009 02:37:29 PM 207 Views
depending entirely upon what the teacher said, that's probably not the right way to go. nossy - 20/11/2009 03:28:07 PM 193 Views
There's no rule that you have to stand for the pledge, and the school was aware of that... Lupine - 20/11/2009 03:34:32 PM 279 Views
agreed. *NM* LadyLorraine - 20/11/2009 06:13:09 PM 88 Views
My mother was a teacher all her life. Tom - 20/11/2009 06:33:34 PM 197 Views
Or it teaches them self-preservation. Lupine - 20/11/2009 06:58:01 PM 274 Views
Re: My mother was a teacher all her life. everynametaken - 20/11/2009 10:27:20 PM 308 Views
The way the kid recounted what he said on the TV I saw was entirely disprespectful. everynametaken - 20/11/2009 10:23:32 PM 165 Views
You don't have the full story. (More detailed article within) Dreaded Anomaly - 20/11/2009 06:03:08 PM 189 Views
that's not the point LadyLorraine - 20/11/2009 06:11:34 PM 191 Views
It's a little bit the point. nossy - 20/11/2009 07:01:44 PM 180 Views
And it would have been as equally disrespectful. everynametaken - 20/11/2009 10:20:05 PM 309 Views
You seem to support unconditional, unquestioned respect for authority. Dreaded Anomaly - 21/11/2009 02:29:17 AM 172 Views
...That isn't what he's supporting at all. Sareitha Sedai - 21/11/2009 03:20:40 PM 228 Views
Yeah. The segment was funny and I, too, thought MGB would appreciate it. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 20/11/2009 04:47:01 AM 73 Views
Okay, I really need to this then. *NM* Mats Gambling Buddy - 20/11/2009 05:14:04 AM 66 Views

LadyLorraine - 20/11/2009 02:27:31 PM 164 Views
So does he. Lupine - 20/11/2009 07:01:32 PM 170 Views
What I got out of this post: Aemon - 20/11/2009 09:02:14 AM 210 Views
I didn't post until I was 12, if that helps! *NM* Lupine - 20/11/2009 09:07:48 AM 85 Views
You can't post that! People will think it's news! *NM* nossy - 20/11/2009 02:32:52 PM 90 Views
It isn't news? But where am I going to find out what's going on in the world now? *NM* Lupine - 20/11/2009 03:41:02 PM 153 Views
