Family of girl, 12, sues after 'Brokeback' shown in class

[rebgirl420]

She had the choice to "watch" the video or not, i remember when i was in sex ed in like 7th grade, i didnt feel like watching a woman give birth on tv, so i just put my head down and took a nap... i since have grown up since then and am a proud father, but still, its just the point.. suing in this country has gotten way out of hand... next time someone looks at me wrong, im gonna sue them for emotional distress since im depressed! damn our country is full of idiots... what next?

Your right, people sue over anything anymore.

yeah suing has gotten outta hand, look at the dumb bitch who sued McD's when she dumped her cup of coffee in her lap. didn't the stupid broad expect the coffee to be hot?

this is why other countries fuckin laugh at americans, we are to stupid to think for ourselves and we are greedy as hell, though not everyone, just a majority. people are busting their ass in other countries only to make the equivalent of $5-10USD while we here in america will try to sue someone for something that was our own damn fault. it's stupid and time for people to grow up and accept the consequences of their own god damned actions! hmmm i need another pepsi, i'm feelin a bit stressed out now

ok. we live in america, where tv is FULL of sex, blood, drugs, violence etc... and thats not limited to HBO channels, just check the news.

if this little girl is still in need of therapy for seeing one film that tastefully shows a gay relationship .... that sounds like a family full of homophobes looking to leech off their daughter and the untolerating lifestyles.
granted, the movie is way to mature for any group of 12 year old.... as would ANY RATED R MOVIE OF ANY THEME, not just gay themed.

we wonder why we have people trying to attack our country.. its being run by a bunch of rich idiots.. whoever has the most money controles everything.. its fucking retarded, what happened to all the fundimentals our country was founded on, freedom of speech, now you cant say that you hate the president without the FBI investigating you as a terrorist, freedom of press, when our news is so sensored, that the message we get is so dramatized, and bias, its nowhere close to the actual event, freedom of relgion, when if your muslim, you get thrown in a computer, and get your house torn appart and a bunch of shit like that.. all of our constitutional rights are being slowly pried from us one by one, and we stand here and alow it! the voice of the people cant be heard if noone is willing to stand up.. and without that voice, these capitalist mother fuckers are going to keep ripping away all of our rights, and controling every aspect of our lives! ungrateful people expect everything handed to them, and its everyone elses fault when soemthing goes wrong.. what happened to working for what you wanted instead of having it handed to you on a gold platter? thats all were doing to these people if we alow them to win this court case, handing them a large pile of filthy money that they dont need, nor deserve.. i think all that money they win should go right into the education system personally. and it better go to a school that needs it, not to the school with the newest of everything. when kids no days are learning out of 10 year old text books, and a few miles away, other kids have brand new laptops handed to them because its the "better" part of town" BULLSHIT! our society sucks!
im out later:jointsmile:

when i was 5 years old a teacher at the primary school i went to, who not only locked me in a cold pitch-dark closet for the duration of a 1.5hour lesson, sat my entire class down to watch a movie. low and behold it was "salems lot" fucked my head up for a further 5 years. nothing could be done though because back in the 80's and in the uk, there was no law for suing against this. we got all that suing bullshit from america.

i look back now and wish i could inject a thousand micrograms of lsd into his head and make him watch every horror movie i can think of. but...he died of old age a few years back so i heard. (i'm 26 now and no, i'm not psychologically disturbed)

sucks though, who in their right mind makes kids watch such movies.

It pisses me off, what are they teaching these kids, sitting around watching r-rated films when there supposed to be getting a good education reading, writing and maths.
i can understand that it would upsetting to some and confusing.

When i was 9, we where put through sex ed and they showed a film of two people having sex on what looked like a table with a black sheet over it and after that we were shown a cardboard cutout diagram of a mans penis going into the womans vagina my mum said i did not talk for 2 days.

I am now 28, i'm not a prude, i fucking love sex. but it really fucks me off they have to show it to kids that are so young. it's not wonder there is a mass of 12-15 year old kids getting pregnant.

i think in the year 2010 the younger generations will be aspiring to be porn stars. lol

[WakingDream]

shows their greed. Instead of asking for money they should punish the teacher.
