Having read the assignment, and the kid's work, there is only one (1) possible solution here.

The kid was set up.  The teacher is looking for attention, and so assigned this (right after VT) and then waited to freak out over the most imaginative response.

Have the teacher arrested.

The paper seemed more political than anything else to me.

Meh...arrested for writing, wtf is going on anymore?

The guy sounds like someone I'd be friends with.  I can tell he's got intelligence and sincerity.

I think the kid would fit in here. The teacher was obviously just pissed at being slammed.

Teacher goes to jail.
Kid gets an A.
In a perfect world.

And it gets more dangerous and obvious every day, doesn't it? Good thing Bill Maher isn't there. He'd get the death sentence.

Its like after Columbine.  Every teacher who has a student they hate now has the near perfect excuse to fuck their life up, if they are imaginative enough.  Classic Con style action, once the panic has set in and the powers are there, turn every level of society against each other.

I'm just glad nothing like this has ever happened in the UK, because I know I'd be damn near the top of any such list at my school, despite my grades, and no amount of protest from the teachers who did like me would have saved me.

Of course, we've already lived with thought crime in this country for a couple of years.  If you openly support Pakistan's claim to Kashmir (like most of the UK Pakistan population) then you are by definition glorifying terrorism.  Same with the Chechen right of resistance against Russia, the Tamils against Sri Lanka and so on.  There are certain caveats, but in essence that is all that is needed for you to be arrested and held, in theory up to 3 weeks.  And once the terror label gets slapped on a thought-crime, all critical processes in the media immediately shut down.

I broke a kid's jaw in middle school yet I had a cumulative GPA of 3.7. What does that make me?

I dealt with a similar BS in my own highschool, so beg pardon for bitterness.

Good point, and this goes for students as well.  If they put that bug in the right teacher / admin's ear, it's gauranteed calls to the police, and as you said, no turning back once it's started.

Paranoia and fear can be healthy, but I'm thinking too much makes people into their own terrorists.

Anyone ever think about how Richter inhabits the same reality as you and just scream and scream and scream, but in a good way?   :lulz:

I just read it...


That kid is a fucking genius. He obviously knew he was being set up and took advantage of it in light of recent events to piss off his teacher. More power to him also with that afterword in the article.

HIMEOBS exists according to the Voodoo Principletm

HIMEOBS only exists if you believe they do

However, the moment you believe they do, even if you so much as entertain the possibility, just for sake of argument, they can kill you!
