It's Not Alabama This Time, Ladies and Gentlemen!
Forum rules
We once roamed the vast forums of Corona Coming Attractions. Some of us had been around from The Before Times, in the Days of Excelsior, while others of us had only recently begun our trek. When our home became filled with much evil, including the villainous Cannot-Post-in-This-Browser and the dreaded Cannot-Log-In, we flounced away most huffily to this new home away from home. We follow the flag of Jubboiter and talk about movies, life, the universe, and everything, often in a most vulgar fashion. All are welcome here, so long as they do not take offense to our particular idiom.

My Dad had to deal with the Russians in a professional capacity back in the 70s and today still says they are frighteningly irrational.

Zhirinovsky makes Putin look like Gorbachev.
In what professional capacity, if I may ask?

Re: It's Not Alabama This Time, Ladies and Gentlemen!
Augusta County is pretty close to where I went to college.
Fun fact: It's also the location of the town of Staunton, which prides itself on its theater modeled after the Globe Theatre. I went there on a high school trip to watch a production of Much Ado About Nothing.

I hope they would have also shut the school down if the assignment had been to copy the twenty-third Psalm.
Not that it matters. It's obvious this was a calculated move to help teachers recover from their late-night viewings of The Force Awakens. It also gives the kids all day Friday to see it.

It's because neither was blocked in by a Comcast truck.

I want to see the unedited video, but I also don't want to waste more than a minute or two looking for the unedited video.

Georgia Principal Paddles 5-Year-Old while Mom Stands by Helpless
It's not Alabama, but it's still legal in Alabama. It's also still done. It's not limited to a specific age group. Most of the public school kids from kindergarten all the way up to twelfth grade are eligible for paddling. ("Most of" is there because I'm not sure about the legality of spanking disabled kids or kids who are legal adults. There are plenty of nineteen- and twenty-year-old kids still in high school in Alabama.)
My cousin, who lives in Alabama, posted the link. She had this to say about it: "I саn't figurе this оut. Thе mоm wаs right thеrе if it wаs sо wrоng whу didn't shе stер in? Аnd if thе bоу sрit in аnоthеr сhild's fасе thеn thаt is whаt hе nееdеd."
Thе mоthеr аnswеrs this vеrу quеstiоn in thе vidео сарtiоn: "thеу tоld mе if hе соuld nоt gеt а раddling hе wоuld hаvе tо bе susреndеd аnd if hе gоt susреndеd fоr еvеn оnе dау I WILL gо tо jаil fоr truаnсу...

Re: It's Not Alabama This Time, Ladies and Gentlemen!
This is the cousin whose father is a celebrity chef and who has a three-year-old who weighs over sixty pounds. This same three-year-old recently had to go to the hospital because he got his hands on his older sister's ADHD medication and ate the contents of it like it was candy.
It would be a logical leap for me to tie the kid's weight and his hospitalization to bad parenting or a lack of proper discipline, so I won't. Besides, I have a pretty fucked-up kid of my own. I mention the kid and his hospitalization for the same reason I mention the cousin's celebrity chef father: these are the things about her that are interesting to me. We were in the same grade (and occasionally the same class) together. I didn't find all that interesting when we were growing up together. Her father and her kid, though? Those are interesting. The kid's huge. It's a sight to see.
