Another example of why the education system in the U.S. is FUBAR'd

@PSX_Defector Okay, first of all, I love how Addie is moderating you. She's doing a good job of keeping the gist of what you're saying, and it actually looks like you intended for it to be edited that way, lol.
Second, I agree with what you're saying about FB, and about kids not understanding the internet, and I think these things happen because parents don't understand the internet either. Many people still don't get that once you put something out on the internet, it's out there forever. Scott actually uses his full name everywhere online so that he controls the majority of information available about him online. Kind of the equal and opposite of what you do with never using your own name.
There has been at least one case, I believe in FL, where the police have used bullying comments made on FB as evidence against a bully.

It mostly comes down to irresponsible parents. If they educated their children correctly on the use of the internet. If they taught them to be responsible and disciplined them they the issues that the public schools and kids deal with wouldn't even be there.

Except that one cannot control what others say online. For example, Scott Allen Miller has a proclivity towards wearing fur suits while running around the back yard.
You can say the same thing about me, but ultimately this is just a persona, a unknown avatar who can disappear tomorrow. Yeah, it would probably suck if I had to change my name, but it's something that can be done. Once you release that vaulted name, you are screwed and have to conform and keep things on the down-lo.
Do you think this kid ever used his name again after posting this desktop shot?

There must be an inside joke I'm not getting. What's in this screenshot that's a problem? Also, you spelled Scott's name wrong.ETA: Oh! I see it now.

@psx_defector I was happily lurking until that came up.... once you see it. (Isn't that a thing now? WYSIYSB?)

For using WinXP, IE6, or the folder of shemale vids?

My two cents ... primarily aim at correcting the problem (meaning the people creating the wrong behavior) and not the person getting picked on or bullied. If the person getting picked on needs a little help correcting annoying behavior, then do that as well. But the primary "adjustment" should be on those displaying or threatening wrong behavior.
This reminds me of that recent story where students were prohibited from wearing clothing with American Flag insignia on a special day (Cinco de Mayo celebration at school) because some other students threatened violence if they did. How about dealing with those threatening violence than those exercising their American right to proudly display the American flag. We are still in America, aren't we?

Ban the kid because of his backpack because it could cause bullying? Thats so messed up beyond belief.
