clearvision Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 NJ student’s feud with her parents headed to court A northern New Jersey honor student who says her parents kicked her out of the house when she turned 18 is now suing them, asking a court to make them support her and pay for her college. So why don't we just change adult age to 25 and be done with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Children raised to exploit their natural curiosity on how to build things, including things electrical and mechanical, would create a market for these stores. Which means we needed adults capable of teaching things electrical and mechanical to the younger generation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SrWoodchuck Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Ohio School Suspends 10-Year-Old Boy For Pointing Finger Like A Gun… http://weaselzippers.us/178097-ohio-school-suspends-10-year-old-boy-for-pointing-finger-like-a-gun/ COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A central Ohio principal says she suspended a 10-year-old boy from school for three days for pretending his finger was a gun and pointing it at another student’s head. The boy’s father says he thinks it’s the adults who are acting childish after the boy was suspended from Devonshire Alternative Elementary School in Columbus last week. The fifth-grader said he was “just playing around.” But district spokesman Jeff Warner tells The Columbus Dispatch that Devonshire Principal Patricia Price has warned students about pretend gun play numerous times this year, and everyone should know the rules by now. I blame the parents. These kids should have been taught finger safety. They could put an eye out with those things. When gun-fingers are outlawed....only outlaws will have gun-fingers. They can have my gun-finger, when they pry my cold dead ha..........er...... Couldn't he get a license for concealed carry & just keep it in his pocket?

Valin Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Those Darn Jews! Israel seizes arms shipment Dan Williams JERUSALEM Wed Mar 5, 2014 2:34pm EST (Reuters) - The Israeli navy seized a ship in the Red Sea on Wednesday that was carrying dozens of advanced Iranian-supplied rockets made in Syria and intended for Palestinian guerrillas in the Gaza Strip, the military said. The disclosure came as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was in the United States to press his case for tougher international action against Iran over its disputed nuclear program and support for Islamist guerrilla groups. The Panamanian-flagged cargo vessel Klos C was boarded in international waters without resistance from its 17-strong crew in a "complex, covert operation," military spokesman Lieutenant-Colonel Peter Lerner told reporters. Lerner said dozens of M302 rockets were found aboard the Klos C, a weapon which could have struck deep into Israel from Gaza and would have significantly enhanced the firepower of the Palestinian enclave's Hamas rulers and other armed factions.
