Dumbasses these days. A trash can was lit on fire today in the boy's restroom during the last period of the day at school It stunk up the hall too and boy I had a hard time breathing. Thank heavens I'm not asthmatic.

* Zach ends rant

...and the same thing happened in the same bathroom today, only during the 4th period of the day and not the last period..

I'm pretty late on this, but the same thing happened here last year. They set the trashcan on fire, and they got it on tape (of them walking into the restroom and walking out). They didn't even get suspended

I believe that the guy may have been arrested in that case, if not then definitely suspended or expelled.. he was caught by a teacher and the administration/school resource deputy was on the scene of the incident..

Zach and Curt, I've never heard of any kind of this stuff happening during my school years.  It makes you wonder these days if some parents and students combined have ever learned discipline and respect for other people and other property.  Don't worry about these kinds of people as they'll pay their dues heavily at some point in life.

Patrick, things have changed a lot in schools even since I ask my own parents. I believe the problem is that parents don't discipline their children as much and some don't at all. It's very unfortunate. I don't think my own parents discipline me enough either, but I care about my future and education much more than the many others in my school. The kids in my school are selfish, un-caring, cold heated, ignorant imbeciles. They don't realize what's on their plate until they're out of high school and without a job. I think like an adult. I'm one of the few who go beyond being the average high-schooler; and I'm glad to be one of them.

Have you guys ever seen the British special, "World's Strictest Parents"? Watch a clip or two on YT. It really shows you how undisciplined American and British children are and how parenting habits have done little to curb their behavior. If you were in an Indian or Jamaican family, and your parents found out you lit the school bathroom's trash can on fire, you probably wouldn't live to see tomorrow!

I don't mean to sound disgusting, but does anyone have parts of their skin that are dry and cracking? I do all over.. from my index fingers' knuckles, to my elbows, to my right ankle, and then to the bottom of my toes! Is this normal for someone my age?

[Lightning]

It's been 2 weeks since the last time I experienced a good thunderstorm. I'm wanting more thunderstorms here in the Birmingham area and am that they are not in the forecast. I hope we don't have a drought.

I've had various skin problems for a long time - since high school (at least).  Even the strongest lotions and creams offer only superficial and very temporary relief.

Hey! Be glad you don't have it as bad as me. I mean, we had a thunderstorm this morning, but that was the first real thunderstorm in over a month. We've had only 3 thunderstorms this year so far.

You all need to move to my area.   I've had two thunderstorms the past week and golf ball hail reported about a couple hours to the southeast of me this evening.

We haven't gotten a *single* thunderstorm so far this year for my area (in New Brunswick we had two events this year)

I've been getting thunderstorms here and there, but none have been severe 

My county has not been under one severe thunderstorm warning since November 16, 2010, it really sucks 

[Mr. Rainman]

One thunderstorm a couple of days ago, but apart from that, nothing on my end. Maybe changing locations will help.

We've had a few tornado warnings and severe thunderstorms so far this year. Supposed to be getting some this afternoon. But sorry to fray from the topic (hate doing that), but do any smartphone users here use ICS? I just flashed a custom kernel on my Samsung Captivate to install an Android ICS 4.0.3 rom (as Samsung doesn't support ICS for it -_-) I'd like to say I am fairly impressed!
