Dr. Fong Posted April 5, 2005 Posted April 5, 2005 The amazing thing is that not only did someone have to initially THINK of the link, but someone also had to take that thought seriously. The coach and the school should have simply ignored it and told them to get over it.

KRC Posted April 5, 2005 Posted April 5, 2005 Damn 296509[/snapback] When will people finally stand up and say, "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!"
TheManTheMythTheLegend Posted April 5, 2005 Posted April 5, 2005 When will people finally stand up and say, "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!" 296525[/snapback] Well, not for nothing, but you did try. That's more than most of us can say... I PMed Darin an article about how schools are no longer allowing red pens to be used by teachers, as it has a negative connotation to the kids... unreal.

I also saw an article on the abolishment of spelling tests in one school district. See, with spelling tests, there are only "right" and "wrong" answers. To tell the kid that they are wrong could scar them for life. Therefore, if you eliminate the spelling tests, then you will not have to potentially scar the child by telling them that their answer is wrong. BTW, thanks for the compliments. I have continued by quest beyond the campaign, so hopefully it will have an impact. I am now on a larger stage (then the write-in campaign), so I will be able to reach more people.
Ralonzo Posted April 5, 2005 Posted April 5, 2005 That reminds me: I'm gonna complain to UPS about their slogan "What can brown do for you?" I'm sure that offends colon cancer survivors.
nobody Posted April 5, 2005 Posted April 5, 2005 When will people finally stand up and say, "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!" 296525[/snapback] ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!! (did that help?)
Fezmid Posted April 5, 2005 Posted April 5, 2005 Damn 296509[/snapback] Someone forgot the OT button. You'd think with nearly 17,000 posts they'd get the hang of it... CW

JoeF Posted April 5, 2005 Posted April 5, 2005 Yes, I know Purple pens do not have the negative connotation that Red pens have. 296546[/snapback] I am offended by this assault on purple...it should not be the color used to tell children they are wrong.

BRH Posted April 5, 2005 Posted April 5, 2005 I did like this part of the article though: Nutt said the coaches are considering another color, possibly burnt orange, the color of Arkansas rival Texas.
OnTheRocks Posted April 5, 2005 Posted April 5, 2005 actually the color purple is offensive because it brings to my mind Oprah Winfrey in the movie, The Color Purple.
sweet baboo Posted April 5, 2005 Posted April 5, 2005 the link they established doesn't even make sense unless the team stinks and are perenial losers
CoachChuckDickerson Posted April 5, 2005 Posted April 5, 2005 Someone forgot the OT button. You'd think with nearly 17,000 posts they'd get the hang of it296577[/snapback] No matter what you do or say in today's world, it bothers someone to the point they have to say something.
mary owen Posted April 5, 2005 Posted April 5, 2005 sorry, but p*ssies owned pink before breast cancer survivors. either find a new color or shut the f*ck up. it's kind of like the rainbow. Used to be something of beauty and hope. Your kids could wear one proudly once upon a time. Now it's the global symbol for homosexuality. All those hard line Dio and Ritchie Blackmore fans don't complain. Someone stole their Rainbow, but they've moved on.
