| Speaking of duelling: | |
| [quote]An Iraqi vice-president has proposed that Saddam Hussein | |
| and George W Bush should fight a duel to settle their | |
| differences. | |
| Taha Yassin Ramadan suggested that United Nations Secretary | |
| General Kofi Annan should referee the duel on neutral territory. | |
| Mr Ramadan, who is not noted for a sense of humour but | |
| occasionally resorts to sarcasm, made the proposal in an | |
| interview with the Associated Press. | |
| Mr Bush's spokesman Ari Fleischer rejected the idea saying, | |
| "there can be no serious response to an irresponsible statement | |
| like that". | |
| [...] | |
| Leader versus leader | |
| "Bush wants to attack the whole [of] Iraq, the army and the | |
| infrastructure," the Iraqi vice-president said. | |
| "The American president should specify a group, and we will | |
| specify a group and choose neutral ground with Kofi Annan as | |
| referee and use one weapon with a president against a president, | |
| a vice-president against a vice-president, and a minister | |
| against a minister in a duel." | |
| Mr Fleischer poured scorn on the proposal saying: | |
| "In the past when Iraq had disputes, it invaded its neighbours. | |
| There were no duels; there were invasions. There was use of | |
| weapons of mass destruction and military. That's how Iraq | |
| settles its disputes." [/quote] | |

| People who have emotional sensivity are know that saying a bad | |
| things like satire, sarcasm and discriminative to the innocents | |
| are violence too. But if the perpetrator say the bad things | |
| without correct reason to us and we fight them back with more | |
| "violence" like physical and more severe verbal attack, the | |
| people's today ethical standard even so-called the "moderator" | |
| will blame us rather than the perpetrators. | |
| For example, I got satirized without correct reason from a | |
| people. I fight him with physical violence. Then the fault is at | |
| me rather than the perpetrator who firstly initiated violence. | |
| And the worst is, the moderator or the observer even not | |
| consider verbal abuse or attack from the perpetrator as a | |
| violence. Because it just a words according to them. That | |
| assessment also apply to racist verbal abuse too. | |
| As long as the people's behaviour not using physichal violence | |
| or anything that harming people's lives, then it "cannot be | |
| considered as violence" according to them. Even though we feel | |
| offended. | |

| Support Footman! | |

| [quote]A Florida middle school teacher has been arrested for | |
| hosting student fights and letting her kids brawl in the | |
| classroom, according to reports. | |
| Angel Footman, 23, allegedly allowed kids to sock each other | |
| senseless as she looked on from her desk, sometimes telling kids | |
| not to record the blows or attract attention by screaming and | |
| yelling. | |
| Several sixth-grade girls alerted administrators at Griffin | |
| Middle School in Tallahassee after Footman turned her classroom | |
| into a secret boxing pit. | |
| Staffers were also presented with several videos shot late last | |
| month that showed Footman stationed at her desk while students | |
| hammered each other. | |
| The footage showed her laying down the rules of engagement, | |
| telling participants not to pull hair and to limit their clashes | |
| to 30 seconds each, the outlet reported. | |
| According to court documents obtained by WCTV, students said | |
| they planned their melees to take place in Footman�s sanctuary � | |
| and that rematches were sometimes encouraged.[/quote] | |

| [quote]A 16-year-old student at Central Davidson High School in | |
| Lexington, North Carolina was suspended for three days last week | |
| after using the term �illegal alien� during a vocabulary | |
| assignment in his English class. | |
| ... | |
| In addition to the three-day suspension, his record could be | |
| damaged as he aims to secure an athletic scholarship for | |
| college. He is actively involved in school clubs, track, and | |
| cross country. | |
| [/quote] | |
| My favourite part of the story: | |
| [quote]According to an email describing the incident, sent to | |
| local officials and shared with Carolina Journal, a young man in | |
| class took offense to his question and reportedly threatened to | |
| fight him, prompting the teacher to call in the assistant | |
| principal.[/quote] | |
