Wash: So, two days in a hospital? That's awful. Don't you just hate doctors? Simon: Hey. Wash: I mean, present company excluded. Jayne: Let's not be excluding people. That'd be rude.

Spike's Bitches 27: I'm Embarrassed for Our Kind.  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Maria, the username (or password) isn't working for me.

t edit It should be earthlink DOT net, rather than dot com.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Maria, is that earthlink dot COM or dot NET?

And Owen's learned to take his shirt off and refuses to keep one on today.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Duh. Change the dot com to dot net.

Then it will work.

Edit: and of course x-posty. Thanks Tep and Cash.

Is this the wrong audience for saying that I feel for the bully too? I'm not excusing his behaviour in the slightest, because it was reprehensible, and he should be taught to realise the ramifications of his actions. But, in my experience, bullying tends to be a learned behaviour. And at thirteen there's only so many places he could have learned it.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Sparky, that's serious bullying. Breaking bones? Egad.

And school is one of them. That's part of the problem.

While I agree some emotional sympathy might be due the bully, I'm more Mamma Bear when it comes to a child getting seriously, physically injured. I would hope that in addition to punishment, that the bully gets counseling on NOT being a bully. The odds are slim, though. And someone who breaks another kid's ankle at 13 is probably just going to grow up to do more damage later in life as an adult.

That's what scares me about situations like this.
