Save the Dump.

[RICHARD]

I was reading about the high school prom that was cancelled because a young woman wanted to wear a tux and take her girlfriend along as a date.

The local school board cancelled the prom, gave some politically correct answer in a press release and now the other kids are ticked at her. THere is a plan to have an "unsanctioned" event in place of the dance for the seniors.

The gal went to the ACLU and it is turning into a media circus.

----------

I laugh at stupid people (this gal and the ACLU) because of their bland stupidity, inabilty to adapt and overcome and general spinelessness.

She has every right to take her date and dress in a tuxedo for her prom.
The school has every right to cancel the prom and the ACLU has the right to
make a big deal about it.

When I was in school, there was an effort to close the dump that sat across the street from the school. It was a putrid smelling lot that seemed to really stink in the morning-I had to run the baseball diamonds in P.E. for wrestling class and it was a motivation to run quickly past that part of the field!

When the Student Council and all the other goody two shoes put up a table to get signatures to have them close the dump, for some reason they thought that a bunch of kids that had school next to the dump would make a difference.

A few friends and I grabbed a table from my Journalism class, made up some signs and taped a white piece of paper on the table top. With the "close the dump'' faction on the quad stage to our left, we began to chant, "save the dump" and pounding on the table.

It was a fun lunch hour. We had people come to the table laughing, signing the paper with real and imagined signatures, chanting along and just being stupid.

Even the people trying to close the dump laughed and gave us the thumb's up for our efforts. For a while? Wwe were the Save the Dump guys.....

We had a lot of fun times running up to the lines that the school administrators drew in the sand.

IF WE WERE TOLD NOT TO DO SOMETHING? We sat and thought of another way to get around the rules.


LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL,
We used to play frisbee on the quad and when it was deemed too dangerous?

We changed it up and played with a tennis ball. Remind me to tell you about the Rugby shirt, hot chocolate and my best pal.

Some 30+ years later? The dump is still there-while not a working landfill, It makes me laugh about what a bunch of morons did to ruffle the feathers of the 'establishment' and what they thought was RIGHT for everyone.

-------------------------------------------------

Anyway?

I am laughing at this story. Kids/teens these days are a bunch of wussies.

They have no creativity, no drive, no imagination and no testicular fortitude. The cannot even think for themselves, they have to run to their parent-who, by the way, encourage thy kids to take a stand -----by going to a fracking lawyer/ACLU.

This idiot gets the whole prom cancelled because she's 'fighting for her right to take her GF to the prom'. Like WTF? Instead of being creative? she ruins the whole event for everyone because she ain't got a brain.

THIS IS NOT ABOUT HER BEING GAY. IT IS ABOUT HER BEING SO
UNIMAGINATIVE THAT SHE DESERVES the derision she gets! Instead of being slick about the whole thing? She ruins it for the whole graduating class then complains about the comments directed at her while she attends classes.


How's about sneaking the tux into the dance and changing in the bathroom?

Or

Not tipping your hand and showing up at the prom in the tux?

How's about wearing a skirt with a tux shirt and jacket, then putting on the pants after you got in?

Nope, gotta make your intentions known beforehand and start a ruckus that wrecks the whole deal.

Here's a little clue about making a statement?

Be secretive.
It would have been more of a statement had she kept the school administration in the dark....By tipping her hand she gave them just the right amount of time to foil her plans.


She could have gone to event and had a huge laugh on getting one over on the school.

Nope, now everyone has to suffer because the squeaky wheel needed a lube job. I wonder if anyone had saved up, planned for the last year or dreamed about going to this event?

I wonder when someone will have THEIR parents get a lawyer to sue her for pain and suffering or the money that may have been put out already?

There are plans to have alternate proms-some people are trying to arrange an event and not invite the girl and her date. I heard this morning that there will be a prom and she will get to attend it.

I am sure that parents will lean one way or another because of the controversy! Either way,no one will get the full experience and memories about THEIR prom.....nope, It will always be about this gal, her date and her tuxedo...

What a great lesson to every kid in that grad class. Instead of being innovative, clever and smart when dealing with "the man"? Run to a lawyer, make it a huge deal. It just shows how unoriginal kids are these days.

Later on I am going to trip by the dump/landfill and chuckle at how I thought pulling a harmless stunt, years ago, saved it.....

Right on Richard... I was wondering why she didn't find a couple of gay guys to be their dates and then switch dates once inside.. Nobody thinks anything of seeing girls dance together, they do it all the time.. Or even girlfriends taking pictures together at the prom.. NO imagination at ALL these days... I think she just wanted her 15 minutes of fame but it IS going to cost her dearly being remembered for this 15 minutes of fame.

That would have been too easy.

This is a school of bible thumpers. They said they'd throw out people who they thought were being inappropriate during the dance.

A tux ??? Whats' wrong with a tux ???
I'd love to go to a prom with a girl dressed in a tux, and me in my new pink tutu.

When I was a freshman in high school, one of the seniors wanted to take her boyfriend to the prom. The problem was that he was married to someone else and the wife didn't like the idea and threatened to do cause problems. After quite a bit of news coverage, the school board passed a rule that only local high school students could attend the prom. It was that way for years. Every class tried to get the prom location changed to somewhere else, so that other people could attend. I think after about 10 years it finally happened. Now they have prom off campus. Most of the kids there now, probably have no idea why that is. They weren't even born when the trouble started. Laura Cooper, where are you now?

I didn't even WANT to go to my HS prom. We went to a friends house instead and drank too much beer. . .

Do us a favor and shave oyour legs first, not while you drive?

Years ago I went to a store up the street from my house to get some brekkie stuff.

Since it was early on Saturday morning there was only one check out line open.

An elderly woman in front of me began to WAIL about the wait.

She was loud..."Oh my GOD, Why Do I HAVE TO Wait!!!!" She went on about her time in a concentration camp and how unfair it was for her to wait to be waited on...

I was pi$$ed and piped up......"Lady, we are all waiting...."

The cashier called the manager who opened up another line and took this woman as the first customer.

Here is a woman who probably spent time in hell during her life, survived it, then had to make a huge deal about waiting in line to buy groceries, years later?

Instead of thinking about how lucky she was to have made it that far-while millions of people around her died, she pulled the victim card out of the deck and played it.

How sad and pathetic it is to ride the coattails of the people who really did suffer during WWII...She survived and probably used that excuse how many times in the 40 years since????

I look at the Prom Idiot the same way.

Instead of being true to her 'cause', she has to shout about it and loses the respect that she may have earned had she kept her mouth shut and toed the line, like the rest of her classmates.

She put herself at the head of the queue...like any good groundbreaker she should accept the slings and arrows of the people who choose to wait or conform to the rules.

It reminds me of hanging out in the neighborhood, playing with the rest of the kids. Then, one of the little morons has to run to their mom, crying because of some stupid reason, which ruins if for everyone.

Ah, the Human Condition!

[wombat2u2004]

Laura Cooper, where are you now?

Hang on. I'll go wake her up now

[wombat2u2004]

Do us a favor and shave oyour legs first, not while you drive?

I only shave my groin while I drive
But I gotta agree with you.......there are always the queue jumpers that stuff it up for the rest of us.

I never went to the prom but was asked once. A lot of the girls ended up with big bellies from going to the prom & it was not gas.

And the guys stayed skinny running away from the 'memories' of that night.

That's the trouble with Proms. All that free food available, and the girls just eat and eat until they're ready to burst. Not good !!!!
