Never heard of her before and had to have Jersey Shore explained to me a couple of weeks ago. MTV? What is that? I stopped watching it after the 2nd series of Real World.

Okay, if you have directtv, you need to flood them with emails so they will get the ball rolling on this. Here is the specialists reply:

Maybe that was his problem last year, didn't get laid and couldn't relax. Notice he is relaxed now. Coincidence?

I am sure there are now threads bitching in the iowas forum that we screwed this up for them also.

Their response so far:

I wrote an email to Direct tv and suggest you guys who have it do the same. This is what I wrote and will post again if they reply.

I don't think Turner would really care if it does become permanent. He sounded excited about it especially since it is an easier book to learn.

Thats about the only thing I got out of it. Oh and that he hates the media to and doesn't have a problem admitting it to their face.

nope, calling directtv now.

So in a sense, guilty until proven innocent? Not in a sense, but I am not as naive as most parents are about their own children. I know that kids are having sex, trying drugs and drinking at the age of 10. I also know that there is a hint of truth that is told when kids harass other kids (a hint, not total). So yes, I would be questioning why they called her these things and see if there isn't anything that she isn't telling me. But at the same time, if she is telling the truth and nothing is going on, I would support her and tell her how to disregard this type of topic.

I was thinking he did it last minute like, just to be able to claim the ear ring was his all along. This is exactly what he was saying. The smart wife was sarcasm. I've never known Roxy to be sarcastic. haha I am sure there is a first for everything.

Why even take the effort to spin this to claim that it might be her fault? That's on par with blaming a rape victim. Not even close. You don't see women going out there and say Rape Me Rape Me (atleast not the sane ones). Not trying to spin it, just saying we don't know what the other side of it is. Just saying this could be her fault and now not liking the type of attention that she wanted. In a way yes. I would ask her why they would be calling her these names. As for the internet, how many pics do you see kids taking all types of pics for attention and then get mad because people call them out on it? You even hear about the teen female that takes nude pics of herself and sends it to her boyfriend and then gets pissed when her friend shows it on her own phone. Not saying any of this is right and going back to my original post, parents needs to take a stand and teach their kids what is right and wrong.

Fair Tax is all I am going to say. We need change in our system and if this doesn't speak out for it, I don't know what will. Stop giving money to foreign countries that are still a dictatorship, bring back our troops and stop spending $150K for a contractor being over there. Go to a 4 (10 hr) day work week for the major federal aviation overhaul maintenance depots and you will save a ton of money a day just on electricity alone. It is amazing on what we waste money on and don't think twice about it. We as a whole need to stop living lavishly and start pinching pennies to get out of this debt. We, the people, are to blame for allowing this to happen with our politicians while most of the population lives paycheck to paycheck and "living the life" with multiple cars and the best entertainment system in their house. We have created this mess and now have to deal with it. This is basically our punishment. Also we need to speak up and tell our congress to live by the letter of the law. The are going against our constitution and not living as the population as they should. They don't pay taxes, SS or medicare where we, the people, are. Stop their full paycheck retirement after one term. I can list awhole lot more, but won't. It just needs to stop.

Oh great, he jinxed us by mentioning past statistics. We are definitely doomed. Also, this is from "Zac" in Lincoln. Hmmm wondering if it is Zac Lee? hahaha

Back to the original video in the OP post. She said they call her "slut" and "bitch". Is she? We don't know the full story. What if she is trying to get every guy or just has an attitude towards everyone and this is the other kids way of responding back and she can't take it. We don't know. In my high school we had a very loose chick and everyone knew about and let her know. She would always end up crying in a corner but kept up doing the same things afterwords.

As I said before, the kid can just ignore and walk away. Just because your standing up for yourself, it doesn't mean that your getting into fights. Even back when I was a kid (30yrs ago) we would come home crying because of what someone said. My father asked me if it was true what the boy said. I said "No", "then why are you crying, are you bleeding?" "No". "Then you can still walk and have fun someone where else?". I live by this because I know that words don't mean crap and that is what needs to be instilled in the kids now. As for the sports, you and I basically said the same thing. You are telling your kids that if they lose, don't be mad and enjoy the game. I am saying the same thing, but saying that the kids need to know what winning and losing feels like. And I did say at a young age it is all about the fun of the sport and not the score (not in those words). When they get older and the kid can't play because he is to fat (just throwing one out there, fill in your own word if you like), then he realizes either he needs to lose weight to compete or figure something else to do. There are a ton of sports that takes all types of people. They just have to figure out which one if they don't want to change and go after it. Not only that, but sports aren't for everyone. For some it is band or the "nerdy" stuff. As long as they are socializing with others kids face to face and not on a video game every waking hour after school. When I used to play PC games, it was amazing how many 9 or 10 yr olds that I would hear in Ventrilo that was speaking cuss words because they died or things didn't go their way. I am a retired sailor and their mouth was worse then mine. Where are the parents? I am not saying don't love your child to much, but just don't give them false hope on specific things when you know it is not true and should be helping them to overcome that crutch of whatever it is. (again, if the kid is fat, control what he eats then letting him eat whatever and whenever he wants (watched a news program that had a 300lb 8 yr old that couldn't walk. Her mom said that she didn't know what to do. The next segment the girl asks for junk food and the mom gives it to her. A prime example)). Sorry a 400lb 8 yr old. Here is the video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNATWsVVwgo this type of behavior is going everywhere with parents. let your kid do what they want and then wonder why their kids are having problems.

Hmmm, Incredible Hulk with Edward Norton, Iron Man (1 not 2), the 1st Spiderman, Watchmen, New Batman 9not the 90's). Yep 5, one hand, I agree. But not talking about older movies like the original Superman.

I feel for them if they do. Never thought Will would do something like this.

I was thinking he did it last minute like, just to be able to claim the ear ring was his all along. This is exactly what he was saying. The smart wife was sarcasm.

Nicnos: make love not a scene.

Disclaimer: before you read, I apologize for the rant. I wrote, went back and inserted then skipped a few, so I hope it makes sense and not just a ramble (which it probably is) All kids should be allowed to be who they are, this I definitely agree with. Now the part about not having to stand up for themselves I cannot agree with. If a kid doesn't stand up for himself when he is young, he more then likely won't as an adult. All the time at work there are adults (both genders) getting stepped on by bosses or other employees to do the crap work, not get the raise and so on. It is their fault for not standing up and saying something. This is a trait that you learn when you are young. Bad part is, most of them complain about it to those who will listen. They don't complain to me anymore because I will tell them what they don't want to hear (mostly everything that I have said in this thread and do tell them it is their fault). We, also, as a society have made our kids weaker. Sports in some schools don't allow the taking of scores and tells them that everyone is a winner. This is a very bad concept. This doesn't allow the kid to be competitive and have the feeling of a loss or know how it really feels for a win. The girl in the video herself has already admitted that she is close to cutting (this by itself is part of a weaker emotional society). Also they allow every kid to play regardless of weakness. Again, taking away from competitiveness that is needed as an adult. I can see allowing kids when they are 5 to 7, but after that, they need to know what is expected of them. The Govt tells parents that they need to suffocate their kids by praise and beauty. Again this is falsehood because it doesn't get them ready for middle school or high school. They are being constantly being told that they are great, then when they get to class, they realized and being told they suck. Something that they will basically get hit with a brick because they aren't expecting it. Parents aren't and will never be able to tell another parent's kid how to behave. Would you like for a parent to come to your kid and tell em how to behave by their code? You would be up in arms over it. This is why you have to be on YOUR own kid and teach them how to survive in a world that is getting harsher and harsher by the day.

I never said that bullying was alright. I am saying that no matter what happens, bullying is here to stay. If the Columbine didn't take care of it, nothing will. It is the parents and yes, teachers, to take this kid aside and tell them that they are better and ignore what is being said. Myself, I got into fights over it and then I found a way to turn it around and was not bullied ever again. I even became "that guy" who some came to for stuff (not illegal either). As I said, this society has let emotional kids get out of control and let them become that way instead of teaching them to stand up for themselves or have them ignore what is being said. Parents need to become a parent and not their best friend and teach them what they need to know to get by. To me, words are the same as if someone called my mother or a spouse a name. All I will do is laugh at them. I know the truth and if I get all puffed up about it, then to me that is admitting they are right. They are JUST words and nothing else.

Yes I seen it and was very disappointed in it (except the ending). Usually it is the other way around. My friends liked it though.

Maybe I am too old, but back when I was in high school, bullying went on and the kids still lived afterwords. Society is to stuck on emotions these days and political correctness. She needs to stand-up for herself and not be self-conscious. She admits to having 3 or 4 friends. Why not embrace them and ignore the rest? I had maybe 2 friends a year and always someone different. It's what you make out of your life and not allow others to make it for you. Step up and take control. If she cannot handle middle school, she won't make it in High.

This program is still on? Make it stop (along with survivor)!
