A young man in Nova Scotia was suspended from school for wearing a tee shirt with the slogan "Life is wasted without Jesus." After much debate he was re-instated. He says he will return wearing the shirt. A local business man has printed 300 of the shirts and is offering them free to students and residents.

========
A father in New Jersey received complaints about his sons behaviour from the school board. As he couldn't believe his son was a problem he wired him for sound and made secret recordings of his days at school. It turns out he was having violent outbursts because the staff at the school were bullying him. The recordings caught a teachers aide calling the 10 year old "a bastard". The aide was fired but the teacher wasn't.

If it is a small piece of skin with a rounded bit it is probably a small polyp, which is nothing to worry about but go and see your doctor if it develops or enlarges. You could also tie some cotton around it like I did.

GM you may have had a ganglion. I had one on my wrist. The doctor called it a "Bible Cyst" because the most common cure was a good whack with the Bible. It wasn't painful and didn't grow after the initial phase and went away when I gave it a good smack with a hard cover book.

WarrenG, the skin tag is usually nothing to worry about. There are products on the market designed for their removal. http://well.ca/products/dr-scholls-s...ver_19186.html However, I used Tea Tree Oil on one and it worked fine. The oil dried out the tissue and it fell off, as the oil is also an antiseptic I didn't worry about infection.

You've reminded me of something which happened when I was 17.
I was on a week long school trip to Lochranza, on Arran (an island in Scotland)
There were a couple of schools at the education centre and I'll be honest here, we were slightly rowdier that the other lot (I think they were from Bolton).
But we weren't that bad, just a bit noisy.
Anyway, one night the other schools teacher appeared at our dormitory door and said this:
"You know, it's bastards like you who make life hell for the rest of us."
He was a teacher, and he used the "B" word to describe us.
What a c*nt.
I hope he's dead.
That's a weight off my chest, I feel a whole lot better

A huge problem now is that the fascist Chrysi Avgi got 6% of the votes and will be represented in the parliament.

So it's just minority Right parties you object to being represented in the Greek parliament? I know how you feel - I hate it when the lefties get undue influence.

I just noticed I have some kind of skin tag thing growing under my dick, it's really pretty big, and has two tennis ball sized...oh, that's my balls...

Never mind.

But it is good when they get due influence, Comrade - like when they win elections

The year is 2012 A.D. The world is entirely occupied by the hordes of banksters. Well, not entirely... One small country of indomitable Icelanders still holds out against the money-stealing invadors. And life there isn't easy for the vicious barbarians who garrison the fortified camps of some crooked banks....
