Quote:A 13-year-old girl in Utah had her ponytail cut off, was jailed for 30 days and was forced to undergo a strip search at the hands of juvenile justice officials, all because she allegedly helped a friend cut another little girl’s hair.

Sure, the girl should be told off for cutting another girl's hair without her consent, but a 30 day jail sentence, strip search, a fine, over 100 hours community service, and having to have her own hair cut off is fucking ridiculous.
That is just fucking stupid. Mind you, I'm not surprised. I've heard of so much stupid going on over there that it's not really that unexpected.

That would explain the amount of Americans moving over here you know.

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.

Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.

You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.

If you nuked the middle-south-east(bar Florida), you'd have an awesome country.

Can I get a warning in order to practice time, distance and shielding?

A distinction without meaningful difference. It's not as if shit like this happening elsewhere in the states doesn't make news every week or so. I think the Kalvinistic vindictive streak runs America through and through.

I wish that were the case but similar examples of rampant stupidity by courts, school boards, and local governments can be found everywhere.

I can't answer the OP. I can agree with it.

I hate hearing stories like this. I'm not as familiar with appeals, but does anyone know of a way they can get this care reexamined by a different judge?

Hehehe, clearly your tour guide in Florida was a pro at keeping you within the confines of the image Floridians wish to project. Florida is a shithole if the rest of the south is a shithole (two decades in the state couldn't bring me to care for it in the least, bar a river here, and a swamp there).
