Mohammed_Rots_In_Hell Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 There was this school yard bully who kept stealing all the other kid's lunch money. One day he stole this really weak kid's lunch money and the really weak kid told his older brother who was a tough kid. The tough kid met the bully out in the school yard and gave him a good thrashing and made the bully pay back his little brother. The tough kid told the bully that he would give him another thrashing if he ever stole another kid's lunch money, or behaved in an ogrish fashion, further more the bully agreed to all of the tough kid's demands including the right to be searched for the other kids' lunch money any time the tough kid wanted to, or there would be another thrashing! The days went by and the bully, although fallng short of actually stealing any lunch money, did begin to act in an ogrish fashion. When a couple of the kindergardners complained that their money was stolen, the tough kid demanded that the bully show the contents of his pockets. Now the bully had already been searched a couple of times the past week, so he said "No",, and exclaimed that he didn't have the lunch money, and from that point on would not allow any searches for the kindergardners' lunch money. So the tough kid thought, "What does the bully have to hide? He has already shown his propensity for stealing lunch money. I know he has it. He even agreed to the searches!" So this time he met the bully on the school yard and thrashed him again. Then he forcibly searched the bully for the lunch money and low and behold. The bully didn't have the lunch money. But because the bully had been acting ogrishly and not allowing a search even after he said he would the first time he was caught extorting lunch money that the principal decided to expell the bully anyway. Now here in lies the problem, the bully had these three brothers that liked the windfalls from the lunch money extortion racket. They also liked the prestige that being the sibling of the bully brought. So the brothers began to retaliate by harassing the other kids, like throwing mud at their parents cars, and defacing their text books with pens and the like. Then there arose an insanity amongst the parents, and they began to blame the tough kid for getting the bully expelled for all of the harassment. They said that the brothers wouldn't be doing this "if the bully was still around" and demanded that the tough kid appologize for having the bully expelled. They exclaimed that the tough kid "lied to them about the stolen lunch money" even though the tough kid had acted on what information was available to him at the time. 1 Quote The first amendment provides our constitution with its voice.

snafu Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 Not to mention that the bully probably had already given the kids lunch money to his brothers or buried some of it in the sand box. So that's why he didnt get caught with it. 1 Quote "You can't stop insane people from doing insane things by passing insane laws. That's just insane!"

Asmodai Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 One small flaw in this analogy - I should really, really hope entire countries of competent adults would have more sense than small children. But then again, they probably don't. Quote I'm not angry. I'm an asshole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
