Mine flew down the shirt of my 4th grade teacher. When she got mad, I ever so nicely told her that it wouldn't have gone down her shirt if she hadn't worn a shirt that was to low.
Yeah.... she didn't like my answer.
I had to write 1000 times...
"I will never play paper hornets in class again"
"I will never play paper hornets in class again"
"I will never play paper hornets in class again"
"I will never play paper hornets in class again"
"I will never play paper hornets in class again"
"I will never play paper hornets in class again"
"I will never play paper hornets in class again"
Boy... it's mush faster when done on a computer!!!!!!
But I have a cool mom..... she taught me how to tape several pencils together and write more then one line at a time!!!!!!
That something is this--if people for some reason or other don't like you, or you rub them wrong, sometimes they look for a way to play "Gotcha!"
"See, he's really a bad, bad man!"
I think it's hilarious.
I figure Chan got picked on a lot when he was a kid.
And our Shepherd friend of course was the hardest rock ever quarried.
He was so rough he wore his clothes out from the inside, no doubt.
And as for me, I am just a rabble rouser.
Well, I don't have it in for you, and the first thought that came to my mind was that you are helping your children defy school authorities. There's nothing wrong with helping your kids win a good old fashioned paper hornet fight, but doing it knowing they are gonna do it in school is another matter. Maybe it would have been better to instruct them NOT to do this while at school and encouraged them to organize a hornet fight for after school.

THIS is the pretty much the point that at least a few of us were trying to make.
Would it be within the realm of your thinking that Jesus, as a young boy was tested by other boys?
Was he? We don't know one way or the other.
Quote:
If so, what do you suppose he did?
I suppose that, like the Bible says, He was without sin.
Quote:
What does it mean to you that he LEARNED obedience?
It means what the Bible says: "In the days of his flesh, Jesus offered up prayers and supplications, with loud cries and tears, to him who was able to save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverence. 8Although he was a son, he learned obedience through what he suffered. 9And being made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey him."
Quote:
What does it mean to you that he GREW in statue and wisdom?
It means what it says: "And he went down with them and came to Nazareth and was submissive to them. And his mother treasured up all these things in her heart. And Jesus increased in wisdom and in stature and in favor with God and man."
Quote:
Or....
Do you believe that Jesus was some freaky humanoid totally unlike any of us when we were boys...apart from the perverted world mind of today?
I believe it is wrong to suggest that Jesus was a mischevious boy like so many boys today. I believe it's wrong to suggest that mischief is somehow appropriate.

Rico, sometimes I agree with you, sometimes I don't.
But on this point, I definately DO.
We've taught our boys from the time they were little that no matter where they go - to school, to a friend's house, to grandma's, wherever! - there are going to be rules. And whether they agree with the rules or not, if they are there, they are to respect those rules and obey them. How can you expect children to obey your rules when you are allowing them to break someone else's?
I agree that boys are boys and will look for things like this to have fun doing. But they need to be directed to do these things in a different place where they are not violating rules. Otherwise, how do teach them respect for authority?

Not hidden meanings. That would imply that I am not taking the comments at face value. Wouldn't you agree, even if misunderstood, we take a comment and interpret that at face value?
Well, I really wonder what "turning the other cheek" entails. You are very pointed and stand up for yourself when you are posting, Chancellor. And I like you so I'm not trying to be critical here, but you can come across as angry and accusing, so are you turning the other cheek or standing up for what you view as right for your opinion?
I was thinking the same thing.
Seems to me that some who speak about Jesus being silent and how we should follow suit aren't practicing what they preach.

So your mom taught you how to cheat. Gotcha!
Here's another example of situational ethics, y'all!
Beat her up now!
I'll hold her down!
