It is nice when your enemies invalidate their own argument.

I don't know, it just seems a bit hyperbolic to me. But then again, the excerpt was written by a homeschooled fourteen year old girl, so it's probably serious.

Blarobbarg 10-15-2012 11:03 PM

Most of the home schooled kids I know aren't nearly, nearly this stupid. Though, many are mentally/learning challenged.

I was homeschooled and contrary to popular belief, we're mostly of average intelligence.

Hey, I was homeschooled too. My mom started homeschooling because I and my developmentally delayed were failing miserably in the school system. My mom couldn't stand the teachers she was dealing with, so she just said, "**** it, there's no way I can do any worse than these fools. I'm doing it myself." :D

Mojo 10-24-2012 03:47 PM

Oh my God, thats hilarious.

I was wondering, before I read the article, why parents wouldn't just take their children away. I mean, it must have been pretty obvious that the film they were about to watch was NOT going to be Madagascar. I was wondering if any parents were sitting around thinking 'It's ok, the lemur will come on in a minute!'

Even though they say that they only caught the opening two minutes while they removed their children from the cinema, I'm wondering if the warning of the age certificate beforehand and the 'PARANORMAL ACTIVITY 4' message before the film even started might not have tipped them off. I mean, whenever I've been to the cinema there seems to be quite a period of time between this and the film starting?

Frownland 10-24-2012 03:56 PM

Ja, wouldn't the previews be extremely dissimilar as well? Seeing previews for the Carrie remake and not for Here Comes the Boom would be a pretty good hint that it wasn't the right movie.

Shena Hardin, Cleveland woman caught on tape driving on sidewalk, must wear "idiot" sign - Crimesider - CBS News

Quote:

A Judge has ordered a woman to stand at an intersection wearing a sign essentially calling herself an "idiot" after she was caught on videotape driving on a sidewalk to avoid a school bus unloading children.

Cleveland resident Shena Hardin, 32, was busted last month. Witnesses say Hardin drove on the sidewalk on a daily basis to avoid waiting behind the bus, according to CBS affiliate WOIO.

Fearing a potentially dangerous situation, the bus driver contacted the Third District Police before starting his route. Officers waited for Hardin, and caught her in the act.

At the same time, the bus driver caught Hardin's maneuver on his cellphone video.

On Monday, a Cleveland Municipal Court judge told Hardin to stand at an intersection for two days next week, according to court records. She will have to wear a sign saying: "Only an idiot drives on the sidewalk to avoid a school bus."

The judge ordered her to wear the sign from 7:45 a.m. to 8:45 a.m. next Tuesday and Wednesday.

Hardin's license was suspended for 30 days and she was ordered to pay $250 in court costs.

I just watched a video linked to that page which had an interview with her mother (who was in the Jeep with her) who just flat out lied to the reporter, telling him that it was the first time they had ever done that. Not only do the people in the neighborhood say otherwise, but it's pretty obvious this was something she did on a regular basis based on the fact that the bus driver was sitting there waiting to get a video of it and the cop car was sitting there waiting to pull her over.

I know how annoying buses can be, especially school buses, but serious? Gold medal for strategic stupidity.

Though, court punishment is ridiculous despite it being funny.

Freebase Dali 11-10-2012 06:10 PM

Wow. Talk about retarded!
I mean, the whole point of stopping for the school buses is because there are children exiting them and potentially crossing the street. It's a pretty good chance that those children will be crossing the sidewalk at some point. The sidewalk is not a passing lane. I guess she finally had that fact deposited right up her selfish and irresponsible ass.

Didn't the guys putting down the road question the presence of a pole? Wouldn't it have taken some effort to actually build the road around the pole? Is this Canadian road worker humour? :usehead:

Yeah. I was driving there last year. Most drivers were okay but some were just idiots. I also think that if they see an Ontario license plate in front of them at an intersection, they think it's okay to lay on the horn if you don't move at the exact second the light turns green. That happened a lot with me.
