Talk about anything in here.

Didn't go to school today... o___o;;;;;;

Postby Heart of Sword » Fri Sep 22, 2006 9:53 am

I'm a homeschooler, but I take an art class at the local high school.

There was weird graffiti on the outside of the school. A crescent moon symbol (the symbol of Islam) with three dots, then:

"You call it your right, I call it your weakness.
Ursuls
A. Maud'dib"

I probably got the words wrong but yeah. I didn't go to school today. o___o

Doesn't that sound...weird?
Heart of Sword's Rhapsody

Money, get away
Get a good job with good pay and you're okay
And all and all you're just another brick in the wall
Shoutin’ in the street gonna take on the world some day
But Bismallah will not let me go
Because I'll see you on the dark side of the moon

Tommy used to work on the docks
Union's been on strike
Bright eyes burning like fire
And exposing every weakness
However carefully hidden by the kids

Who will love a little Sparrow
Who's traveled far and cries for rest
Spare him his life from this monstrosity

I've seen a million faces and I've rocked them all
And if the band youre in starts playing different tunes
We will we will rock you
We will we will rock you!

Er, statements like that are probably uh...yeah. Because people could make the same kind of statements about Christianity, so I really don't think we have room to insult other people's religions. :p

Weird? I don't think feeling disconcerted about something like that is weird. I wouldn't let grafitti of any kind keep me from going to school though.

Thank you for being part of the problem and not part of the solution.

Because you know, the christian god never flooded the world, killed his son, ordered one of his followers to kill his own son, caused people to wander around deserts for 80s years.

Oh wait, yes he did. Oh and that part is also in the koran (jesus-son of god bit aside). Hm.

Don't worry yourself too much over it. At least you are in America, not some Muslim country where the same threat would get you killed pretty soon....

You don't seem to have much of an understanding of Islam. So don't make comments like those ever again please. For your own benefit of not sounding ignorant and whatnot. You ask a Muslim that question, and I'm sure they'd refute your argument.

Anyway HoS I wouldn't worry too much about it. I don't see it as much as a threat.

Thats odd. But I don't think its a reason to stay home. I'm a public highschooler here, and I deal with stuff like that all the time. Its the real world, sadly. Not everyone has the same religions or beliefs, and although our may be the truth, we still have to respect that they think theirs is the truth.

If you meet that sort of issue again, just move on with it. It'd be a differant story if someone said in graffiti "IM GONNE BOMB THE SCHOOL TODAY FOR MY GOD." Yeah. THEN I wouldn't go to school. But, differant religions are out there and I wouldn't hide from it, because thats how the world is. Unfortunetly.

I'm also in the public school scene. If there was a real threat, trust me NO ONE would be aloud to go to school. And the person responsible for the threat would not be attending school much longer. We get crazy threats all the time at my school and they evacuate and then it always turns out there was no real danger some kind was just being dumb.

All that to say... schools take threats very seriously. Don't sweat it. :)

Speaking as a Christian living in a Muslim country, I have no idea what that is so I will say this - don't let that bother you.

Many ppl misrepresent the Muslim faith as much as those who misrepresent the Christian faith so I think it's best to refrain from making statements like that about each faith.

Well... its not as bad as it sounds. You get used to it. LOL.

Schools are some of the safed places in the world because people take protecting them so seriously.

Puritan, I thought 'Dune' also when I read the last bit.

Anyway, I don't know what to make of it but there always seem to be people who want to deface property to get their message across. At our primary school we had a massive pentagram sprayed into the sport's ashpalt area and candle wax everywhere. Someone had seen a bunch of people there at night doing something (maybe curses I don't know). Anyway, we came to school the next day and there was a hullabaloo about it. Some people (our pastor and some staff) prayed over the area and it was all good. A bit frightening at the time though.

Everyone friends now? Awesome!

I'm homeschooled too, (You know, the people who spend obsessive amounts of time on here are probably all homeschooled or out of school ^_~) but that's a little disconcerting. I'd be a little hesitant to go to school that day.

I don't know man. The Fremen can attack like ghosts; when you see them it'll be too late.
The scientific method," Thomas Henry Huxley once wrote, "is nothing but the normal working of the human mind." That is to say, when the mind is working; that is to say further, when it is engaged in corrrecting its mistakes. Taking this point of view, we may conclude that science is not physics, biology, or chemistry—is not even a "subject"—but a moral imperative drawn from a larger narrative whose purpose is to give perspective, balance, and humility to learning.

Neil Postman
(The End of Education)

Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge
