ChuCK's Words of Wisdom

If you thought you were, you might have actually been. Problem being, if you were unaware if you were while you were, then knowing that you were in fact really that way is a moot point. Unless you knew you were the whole time, then you would be an ego-bag.

Awwww did I hurt your feelings?

This is why I keep everything light hearted around here. I understand that some people use blogs to vent, rant, rave, get pissed off, and even attack... Why the hell do that where there are SOOOOOooo many other things online to post about. Remember, blogs aren't secret diary's that only get read when stolen. So, it looks like another "blogger" was nailed to the wall for what they wrote about someone...

Calling someone a douchebag on the Internet usually doesn't result in much in the way of major consequences. That is unless, of course, you're in high school and the douchebag in question is a school official. In the case of Lewis S. Mills High School senior Avery Doninger, the use of the d-word on her blog resulted in her losing her position as class secretary—something that she and her mother believe is unfair and a violation of her First Amendment rights. Unfortunately for the Doningers, the courts have thus far sided with the school's decision. The US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit upheld a lower court decision yesterday, saying that while it was sympathetic to Avery's plight, the school did not violate her constitutional rights.


The Court of Appeals noted that adults may have a constitutional right to use vulgar or offensive speech in order to make a point, but that it "may legitimately give rise to disciplinary action by a school" if a school is responsible for "teaching students the boundaries of socially appropriate behavior."

I will add this fine set of lyrics from Mike Muir and Rocky George of Suicidal Tendencies...


Can you say "feel like shit"?
Yea maybe sometimes I do feel like shit
I ain't happy 'bout it,
but I'd rather feel like shit than be full of shit!
And if I offended you, oh I'm sorry...
But maybe you need to be offended
But here's my apology and one more thing...f**k you!

Willing to bet that's how she felt...
