Day of The Dead gets me in trouble...
 

in school during spanish class the teacher was talking about the spanish holiday day of the dead and i yelled "THAT MOVIE IS AWESOME WHERE THE ZOMBIE LEARNS TO USE A GUN AND SHOOTS THE GUY the teacher yelled at me for saying "gun and "shoot"

i think the schools are a little uptight

I included the dead trilogy in a serious discussion in english class!

We were discussing etertainment and enlightenment in movies/books, and I broght up how the dead trilogy had the entertainment, of course, but also had a deep social commentary

You mind your teacher now neph.........Kpro where is the gun?.............lol

Actually my kids talk about things like that at the daycare.......I talk about it with them.

Im reading Deliverance in school and they allow it. You should be able to talk about a gun and shooting. Our school does all the time :rolleyes:

FreddyFan wannabe? :D

you should try and work the words "gun" and "shoot" into everything you say from now on in that class

Ya no shit i mean they think that if you dont talk about it then it cant happen wich is just like fucking airport security nowdays. And airport security really chaifes my testicles. wtf is the world coming to.

Considering how many people died because of box cutters, i think a little airport security is appropriate...

But the teacher getting bent out of shape over the use of 2 common words in english is bullshit. it not like you said "I am Going to Shoot you with my gun"....

Fucking tight asses... If it werent for a few teachers i had growing up and people like Stingy, i would have no use for most teachers.

tight asses, indeed...

my french litterature teacher was one perverted guy!! the man used to find sexual innuendo in almost any poem or used to read those full of it (i suggest appollinaire... it's like porn for your brain instead of your eyes!).... needless to say, everyone loved his classes because he was hilarious !!

can you imagine this in an american school ?? lol ... i think not !

I agree totally. I'm willing to compromise, (not eliminate) some freedoms in the name of safety. Sure it incontinences most, but the 1 or 2 it might catch are worth it.

I had my pocket knife confiscated at Kings Island, (theme park). They gave me a claim ticket and told me I could pick it up when I left. As we stood in line with our tickets a guy came running out of the crowd, jumped one of the terminals and kept running. One of the security personnel tackled him, and 1/2 second later 3-4 more were on him like SOS. Everybody was like WOW! One guy spoke up and said, "what a great place to kill a bunch of innocent people" Needless to say tons of security staff came from everywhere and the metal detectors were manned with 3-4 staff each. It took us about an additional 15-20 minutes extra to get in the park, but to protect the lives of my family it's worth it, (it was quick and painless getting my knife back when we left by the way.)

As far as comments in School, it's the context that needs to be examined not necessarily the content. Romeo & Juliet, along with Othello are read/discussed and those are certainly violent/graphic stories.
