We're talking about teaching and letting boys be boys. I am not too thrilled by the fact that I may get called to the office, but, I'd sure rather them be boys and do BOY things than be little prisses that couldn't do anything but whine about the big old mean boys that were shooting them wil hornets.

Get real and get a life!!!

Try reading the Bible sometime, you'll find it has some suggestions on child training (and other stuff too).

Admin,

I don't want to be a stumblingblock to anyone.

Please forgive my folly, and feel free to delete this thread.

I don't think so - - he just said it wasn't sanctioned.

I'm amazed at how many perfect people we have around here that never did anything when they were younger.

Remember, I don't live in a fascist regime like New York, nor would I.

Not by the hair of my channy chan chan.

The event in question didn't happen in New York State. Maybe before you go making stupid remarks you should know what you're talking about!

The principal probably didn't know who you were either.

She has a sense of humor to go along with her righteousness.

Simple question, do you think it's right to encourage disregard for authority to your boys?

This is, of course, the whole issue. It isn't about paper hornets, it's about encouraging his boys to disobey school rules in something that has nothing to do with obeying God.

You will never have to worry about your two boys having a limp wrist or a twist when they walk. Nor will you have to worry about them losing the Holy Ghost in the middle of a good fight.

My older and younger cousins and I have fought gaining bloody noses, black eyes, torn clothes and a few scratches too. Never lost a bit of Holy Ghost. Had to do some repenting but never lost even one ounce of Holy Ghost.

Your granny is my kind of granny. She wanted to know the details. Details of a good fight won or lost makes for a good story, both here and in heaven too.

Go, granny! I like your attitude.

By you saying "had to do some repenting" you must have seen it as sin.

I don't think we should think if we lose the Holy Ghost or not but is it righteous or pleasing to God.

I'm amazed that so many so-called "Christians" would condone someone's children engaging in such behavior at school, knowing full well that the school doesn't "sanction" such behavior (which is essentially saying it's against the rules).
