You really do have to take some of these stories with a pinch of salt. I know it’s attractive to believe every story you hear about another country, but be careful. If this was something more than a single incient where an over zealous, ass-covering official made a stupid decision/comment/recommendation, then yes, these comments would be valid. But it’s not, and they aren’t. Wise up people.

Bow your heads now. We are witness to the demise of (formerly) Great Britain. What a shame.

I sprained my finger typing this comment. Where’s the warning message telling me this could happen!

I would shake my head in a mixture of disgust and disbelief but I worry about whiplash.

Seriously? SERIOUSLY? Wow. I wore a tie to school everyday for 5 years. Yes, I’m a girl. And I can tie a tie better than 1/2 my guy friends, thank you very much. If catty pre-teen and teenage girls can manage to not strangle each other using their ties, it can’t possibly be that serious of a problem, can it?

Here’s a thought. How about we teach our children to pay attention to both their surroundings and what they’re doing when dealing with fire in science class. I never once heard of anyone in my school having her tie catch on fire. Not once. My cat once singed his eyebrows on a candle, but that’s because he has no common sense whatsoever. Apparently the British think their children don’t either. Heaven help us when these kids grow up.
