bohemian: you missed a comma and your statement should have began with the word "the". "The" is a definite article (English the) which is used before singular and plural nouns that refer to a particular member of a group.

Wow, bohemian helps the site correct an error in their headline without being rude in any way, helping them not to look like idiots, and everyone jumps down his/her throat. Bohemian isn't the one making money running a professional publication, so I couldn't care less if there are grammar mistakes in his/her posting. I'm sure Opinion250 is grateful that they were able to correct the error.

I've given up pointing out grammatical and spelling errors on this site, most of which would be caught by a simple spell checker, because of the type of comments that fellow readers respond with.

I was fully expecting my first comment to be deleted as it's just a helper comment (hence less worry about structure, Loki).

As one who publishes a large community events website (300+ visits per day), I know I'm not perfect and look forward to the community helping me out by bringing typos and inaccuracies to my attention.

well then jarodl & bohemian you should go and subscribe to the citizen web site as you would have a fun filled day of correcting others mistakes there!! since that does seem to be an ongoing fun filled almost daily event for both of you.

Thanks Bohemian, we try our very best, trust me we are not perfect. If you would like us to spell check your site, just give us a nod.
Yesterday, we had 4013, orginal IP addresses, 154,622 pages read, 353,233 hits and burned up 5.36GB of ram, about the size of an old machine, for one day. We are busy and some times miss stuff, but we seem to have an audience that accepts that.

Thanks for reading us!

When will the school district admit that bullying in the schools is out of control !

Why is there no trauma team being brought in to speak / assist the children of the school over this ?

The school district in preparation for the next school year is laying off many staff, closing a school and people are just sitting back and taking it.

Make sure to vote on May 12th people. We know what the present system has given us, time for a change.

A knife fight in a school is definitely not something to be taken lightly. I'm glad no one was seriously injured or killed. It could have been much worse, as we can see from other news headlines around the country/North America. Gangs and drugs are becoming more prominent in high schools every day and without proper education and interventions the state of our public schools could get very bad.

As`I understand it this stabbing (or whatever) occurred during a fight. Not a minor incident by any means, nor an accident. Lets all remember that a 2 inch deep wound can easily be fatal. Someones kid has crossed the line, big time.

Posted by: heidi1555 on April 26 2009 7:38 AM

Crossed the line big time is right. What made it okay in his head to do this? Sure hope that part of it is being looked at and not just catch and release. Kids like that need someone in their life to step up.

WHERE IN THIS ARTICLE DOES IT SAY HE WAS STABBED WITH A KNIFE? like i said he probaly made a stabbing motion with a felt pen or plastic knife from the cafeteria.note the very minor injuries statement made. incidents in school are so blown up now its amazing.i went to PGSS in the 90's and saw a fist fight every couple days.its called not being a big pussy and let the kids sort it out themselves.

"its called not being a big pussy and let the kids sort it out themselves."

Words of wisdom...that's how they handled things at Columbine.

Maybe some kids actually go there for an education.

Maybe some kids don't want to fight, they just want to be left alone.

With my training and combat skills, why do I have to negotiate with you or anyone else ?

Why can't I just have my way everywhere I go ?

I'm not a big pussy, I'm not afraid to fight, let's just sort it out ourselves.

I'm pretty sure I'm going to win the fight, I'm pretty sure I'm going to force you to let me have my way, so let's sort it out.

Doesn't that seem like the right way to deal with things ?

It would sure work out to the good for me.

Too bad about you getting beat, stop being such a big pussy about it.

And as a parent... if you are stabbing anybody at school with anything, for any reason,... BYE BYE Charlie Brown !!

Posted by: heidi1555 on April 27 2009 8:14 AM

As a parent...you are exactly right t-man. Not at all shocking that I agree with you. The ones that feel they can't look like a kitty cat (hate that word)in front of others really need to take a step back and have a second look at life.
