It's heartwarming watching our community and the world rally behind Karen. But some of the response has been equally as vile. First, I'll just point out that Kimberly from the Buzz that you linked to is about as bad as those kids, not surprising she'd use two full days of her show to exploit this for ratings. I think the anger needs to be directed at the school district here. Not the kids or even the parents. Why was Karen unable to do anything about this while it was occurring? The reality is, if she reacted they would have gone home, edited the video and only shown that part. In the end Karen loses her job. It's an issue many in the educational field deal with everyday. These precious little kids are never wrong. The other sad reality is if this wasn't exposed on youtube the school district would have never done anything about it. Karen reported it to the bus driver but it seemed to stop there. Had she reported it higher with no video evidence, the kids words would have been taken over hers for fear of the parents reaction. Is what the kids did disgusting? Yep. How do we know they're all bad kids though? Often, one will be the ring leader and the other weak minded ones will follow thinking it's the cool thing to do or wanting to fit in because of peer pressure. One or two may be good kids for all we know that made a stupid mistake. Now they'll learn their lesson (hopefully) but they don't need to fear for their lives. I don't doubt that at least one of them is a vile little **** though. Is it the parents fault? Maybe. But some kids just can't be reached. You can teach your kids all the manners and respect in the world but once they enter their peer group it's who can be the coolest. It's also hard to teach strength, if your kid is easily influenced and weak minded it can be hard to overcome that. Get them next to the wrong kid and they try to fit in. Luckily most kids are strong enough to overcome peer pressure and do the right thing. What the internet is doing for Karen is great, what the internet is doing to the kids, family and those connected to them is as equally as vile and they are no better than the kids who harassed Karen.

They need to have a dedicated camera for #1.

He can fall, it will just turn into the worlds coolest zip line.

The Stojan curse strikes again.

What city? Islamabad? Next thing you know you'll be able to get a cell phone.

I doubt that quote from her blog will help her case.

I can. All of that with strippers too.

Nope, that's why I bought the iPhone.

My home builds haven't crashed in 5 years. Same or more computing power of apple for half the cost. The problem isn't the OS anymore, it's the cheap parts manufactures put in them that don't play nice. And no, I'm not a fanboy of either, love my PC, love my iphone.

I love the internet

There's already a thread for that.

According to zillow, my house is in foreclosure. Good to know.

It's amazing how many people still like this guy. Kick another club you classless jacktard. It's great to see Feddie up top, hope he can be in the final group Sunday. With Couples, Rory and Phil all in the mix, it's going to be hard to pick a guy I want to win.

Have you lost weight?

I didn't get that at all. A couple episodes back she all but told Rick to take him out to protect their family. Then she cops a tude when he does it.

It's not bad, I got one with the replacement program. Problem is the battery life for the radio sucks. I have a 3 year old Sansa I've used everyday at work for the radio that still last the whole day on half a charge. The Nano i can't even get 5 hours brand new.

Has anyone broken out the haiku's yet? Super Mario Ground up and in the freezer If he does not sign

Don't forget to send a thank you card.

BF3 on the PC. The first Modern Warfare was the king and I logged more hours of my life then I should have, but it's been recycled crap with servers populated by 15 year olds since then. Even the first MW was to much run and gun, but I found refuge in a tactical server. BF3 has it's share of run and gun idiots, but you can dominate them pretty easily. Anyone else playing on PC, I'm Porter_JH. I'm usually on the 7cav server on weekend nights.

I really wish my toddler understood this concept.

Let it go people.

Sprewells reason was idiotic, no doubt. And money is not a panacea to all lifes problems but it sure as hell gets rid of one of the biggest. I've never heared a rich person say money can't buy happiness, but I've heard many lower class people say it. Is it fair if you are the product that generates 600 million in revenue but your employer only pays you 1% of that? The person writing the check seems like the greedy one to me. Not saying the guy can't live off his current income, but I don't fault him for maximizing it.

99% of the 99% would seek as much money as they could as well. It's a rich guy trying to get more from an even richer guy, what's that have to do with the current economic situation? It's not like that money is going to be magically redistributed to the poor. He helps generate revenue, he wants a bigger piece of that, I'm not seeing your correlation here. Seems silly to us, but I doubt anyone would turn down a raise if they could force their employers hand for one.

I have a 32" Vizio in my office, my feelings on it are....meh. It's ok, average picture quality but I wouldn't want it as my main set. I also have a 26" LED Vizio in my bedroom. I'm very happy with this set, very good PQ. Both of those pale in comparison to my 46" Samsung in my living room. The Samsung blows both of them away. Before I bought the Samsung I would have said I'd be happy with a Vizio being my primary TV, but not now.

He didn't? No, we'll never know if the Eagles could have driven for the score and won it in OT, but it did have a bearing on not giving them a chance. If a Bill did that this board would go apeshit on him.
