Last night was 'fee night' at the High School my kids attend.

[Midlodemocrat]

*Don't ask*.

Anyway, I was wearing my Peace Monger tee shirt and this asshole actually looked at the shirt and snickered.

Me: (Just because I am an angry white female)

Yup. I'm a peace monger, unlike you war mongers who voted for the idiot in chief. And, since war causes death, I guess we know which one of us is pro-life. And, if you are so pro-war, I have enlistment papers in my van. Would you like me to get them for you?

He sort of stammered and walked away. YAY for me. I'm so sick of these fucktards.

[Atman]

1. I'm sorry, I must...

What the hell is "fee night?"

[xmas74]

7. I'm betting that's the night that you prepay all the fees

for various class labs and school activities, parking passes, etc., before school actually starts.

[Midlodemocrat]

17. Yup. That's it. What a racket.

:eyes:

[xmas74]

24. You can tell I'm a mom.

I dread that night every year.

[Sherman A1]

2. Good job!

[magellan]

3. Excellent!

Your presence of mind is enviable. I'm so sick of Repugs that if one of them did that to me I'd probably launch myself at them, pausing only to extend my claws.

[electropop]

4. Woohoo! Yay for the angry white female!

And all angry enemies of injustice and oppression. I hope the freeper had a rotten night's sleep.

5. My girlfriend's afraid to wear her "Worst President Ever" tee shirt.

I bet you'd wear it. Right?

[RevolutionStartsNow]

29. I just bought one of those! Thanks...

You inspired me...:) I'm not afraid, but then again I live in a very liberal area.

I was buying a t-shirt of a band I like (Against Me!) and they had a design that said "Fuck You George Bush (and your daddy)!" I thought about it for a second, but even in a very liberal area, I don't think I'd have the guts to wear that out in public. Also I'm a mom and probably shouldn't encourage that sort of thing. :)

However I will wear my Worst President Ever shirt with pride. I got the one that looks like the Bush-Cheney campaign logo. Too cool.

[filer]

33. You're welcome.

Always happy to inspire.

[Fierce]

6. I object to the use of "tard" in your insult.

It's awesome you went after him, though.

[Midlodemocrat]

12. You'll get over it. My friend with a daughter with Down Syndrome

coined that phrase for me. If she isn't bothered, you shouldn't be.

[Fierce]

21. Please don't make assumptions about me,

my children, children of my friends, and what I think is right.

[Midlodemocrat]

25. Actually, it was you who first opined that you objected to a certain

word, so you were making assumptions and casting aspersions.

I'm sure I could find more than one of your posts where there is a word that I 'object to', but I have too much class to call you on it.

Good day.

[Fierce]

35. I made no assumptions and cast no aspersions.

I objected to a word you used, and then objected to the assumption that because you had "clearance" to use that word, no one else who might be affected should be offended.

Speaking up about something that offends you has nothing to do with class. After all, that's what your opening post is all about, isn't it?

[NewJeffCT]

8. Not used to a woman standing up to him, it seems?

threatening his masculinity? And, here I was thinking you were a nice sweet Southern mom.
;)

[Midlodemocrat]

14. No, way. I'm from CT. We're a small state, but we're fierce.

Just wait until we declare war on Rhode Island.

[tsuki]

15. Oh no...not Rhode Island. nt

[NewJeffCT]

16. I know

Just teasing you a bit.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

40. You could launch the war from my stepdad's cabin in Stonington.

We have four small boats, some .22s and a couple spearguns. We could easily launch a sea attack into Watch Hill. Commandeer some yachts. Rhode Island would fall in a few hours.

[CoffeeCat]

9. You're not an "angry white female"...

....You're a kick ass, courageous mama bear!! Go you!!

What you said was sooooo perfect!

You are brave to wear the t-shirt and to respond to him like you did. Obviously, he
was responding to your shirt and he wanted you to see that he was belittling you. It's
interesting that his only response was to "snicker."

Notice that these jerks can't verbalize why they're for the lying, murdering and third-rate thuggery? They really haven't thought it all through. They only know that they're for war
and that they love Junior. Lemmings!!

This is so awesome. You rock!

K & R! :)

10. My local ugly freeper has a new bumper sticker...

"pacifists are traitors to their country". Of course, Billy Bob hasn't bothered to sign up, he is content to be chief cheerleader on the sidelines, kind of like our Chimp-in-Chief.

I have to ask though, what is "fee night".

[Midlodemocrat]

11. I have to prepay all the 'fees'. because my exhorbitant taxes

simply aren't enough.

$450 for the two of them. Fees, Student activity cards, parking pass, blah, blah, blah.

[Virginia Dare]

18. This is a public school?

I wonder what happens if you can't afford it? :shrug:

By the way, my sister had to supply toilet paper at one of the public school districts in Alabama. That's right, the students had to supply their own toilet paper.

[Midlodemocrat]

19. You're screwed if you can't afford it.

And, for my 10yo, I have to provide tissues.

[Virginia Dare]

20. Yes, we have to supply a box of tissues as well..

I guess I don't find that as ridiculous as toilet paper. It seems to me the school system could procure that at a much cheaper rate wholesale then the individual taxpayer can. How many tax dollars does that save a year in the scheme of things? The thinking is so convoluted sometimes.

[proud2BlibKansan]

26. We run out of tissues every year

because so many kids don't bring them. And I end up buying them for my classroom. I HATE supply lists and I think it is ridiculous we have to ask parents to send tissue, but the school district will not buy it for us. In my perfect world, schools will not ask parents to send any supplies. (We will also have the latest technology in air conditioned classrooms.) But until that day arrives, I have no choice but to ask my students to bring tissues.

So remember you are saving a teacher money she could be spending on pencils when you buy that box of tissues for your child's classroom. :)

[Virginia Dare]

37. Our teachers always end up begging for supplies...

halfway through the school year. We're in one of the "richest" counties in the country. I feel so sorry for you guys. It's a disgrace that schools can pay for their own supplies. Oh, that's right it's because we pay the teachers too much.:sarcasm: :sarcasm:

[WinkyDink]

31. I was always AMAZED when high school seniors asked ME for tissues!

I told them to bring their own personal hygiene supplies.

[proud2BlibKansan]

42. I see nothing wrong with supplying a box of tissues for a classroom

It is a courtesy.

I went by insurance agent's office today. There were tissues in his waiting room. I doubt he asked his customers to supply them. :eyes:

[proud2BlibKansan]

28. In the district where I teach, there is no activity fee

and we don't push the supply list, especially if we know it is a hardship for a family. In the district where I live, I finally called when my son was in high school and complained about this activity fee. I said it violated his right to a "free" public education. They waived the fee!

This is so illegal I am shocked that districts still ask for it. So try complaining. It only took one phone call for me. :)

[Midlodemocrat]

32. It's just another PITA, but we can afford it.

What bothers me is the folks that can't. When my eldest went to high school, she got her supply list on the Friday before Labor Day and had to have the supplies on Tuesday for the first day of school.

On this list was a calculator that retailed for $125! I have a dear friend who has twins who could NEVER come up with $250 in two days with no warning.

It sucks.

[proud2BlibKansan]

34. I could afford it too

But one of the first things you learn in college education classes is that all kids in this country are entitled to a FREE public education. Free means free. Someone needs to take this to court.

[Virginia Dare]

38. My sister actually had to pay an enrollment fee..

at a public school district in Alabama (same one where you had to supply toilet paper). To me, this is blatantly unconstitutional.

[proud2BlibKansan]

41. There was a district here where a parent did file a lawsuit

and the ruling was that districts now have to wave the fees for low income families.

[Viva_La_Revolution]

22. you don't get a yearbook, you don't get to play sports

you don't need a parking pass cause you don't have a car (! god forbid!) You don't get to join the clubs or participate in extra curricular activities.

Not like when we went to school, huh?

[ceile]

23. I'd nail enlistment papers to his door

with a note "From your neighborhood pacifist".

[Virginia Dare]

39. Great idea ceile...

:applause:

[wicket]

13. Let me just say that....

:yourock: :D

[proud2BlibKansan]

27. I wear my IMPEACH BUSH t-shirt as often as possible

and I almost always get thumbs up in my heavily repukelican community.

[WinkyDink]

30. Otay, "fee night" sounds like Buh-wheat to me!

Unce, tice, fee ties a mady.....
