      2007 - Police are called, Armed Response Unit arrives and arrests Johnny and Mark. Mobiles with video of fight confiscated as evidence. They are charged with assault, ASBOs are taken out and both are suspended even though Johnny started it. Diversionary conferences and parent meetings conducted. Video shown on 6 internet sites.

      Scenario: Jeffrey won't sit still in class, disrupts other students.
      1977 - Jeffrey is sent to the principal's office and given 6 of the best. Returns to class, sits still and does not disrupt class again.

      2007 - Jeffrey is given huge doses of Ritalin. Counselled to death. Becomes a zombie. Tested for ADD. School gets extra funding because Jeffrey has a disability. Drops out of school.

      Scenario: Billy breaks a window in his neighbour's car and his Dad gives him the slipper.

      Haha, those were funny.

      The truth is though is that some of them are very true in some cases, it just shows how much people didn't give one back then. Now people are just over the top lol.

      They are funny, but I've never seen any real life examples of them, myself.

      Becomes gay.
      That's a great line.

      I liked that. If we had a rep system or whatnot you would get +1 rep.

      Instead I shall award the Goldney Seal of Approval* which has only ever been awarded twice.







      *The Goldney Seal of Approval, is not acually a seal. Do not ingest the Goldney Seal of Approval otherwise death may occur. The Goldney Corporation is not liable to any injuries that may or may not be caused by the Goldney Seal of Approval. If after coming into contact with the Goldney Seal of Approval you experience any of these symptons: nausea, headaches, sores, blisters, infertility, blindness, cancer, AIDS or death please call the following telephone number 0800-you-are-really-screwed or visit the website at www.pleasedonotsueus.org

      It was awarded without the picture once before. Your the second with the picture. I think MoS is the only other member to have it...

      It is hideous. I made in Paint yonks ago. Here's the new and updated Photoshop version:



      The old one shall be now known as the Seal of Disapproval. It shall be reserved only for the worst of topics.

      Does the old one's new status apply retroactively? I think it should. Also, what are yonks? They sound painful.

      1. No, all topics that received it shall remain with the Seal of Approval.

      2. They are.
