You don't have to go back to 1957. Over here it has changed dat much just in da past 10-15 years.

It's sad, but these scenarios are right on. I was friends with principal of Brusly High and he said a good kid with good grades brought his shotgun to school in the trunk of his car to go hunting after school. Some how word got out and the cops came in to search his car and he had to be expelled for bringing a gun into a school zone. It tore my friend up to see this happen to this kid.

Its a d@mn shame that it has come to this... The local news paper said this year all Milan High School athletes will be drug tested and will be subject to random testing.. so much for the days of celebrating your win with a piece of ass and some good grass..

I mean really, this crap has got to stop, there were alot of things taht we got away with as kids and the ones we did get caught for my old man tore my ass up one side of the house and down the other, but i never did that again, nowadays you'll get locked up for whipping your kids and all of a sudden the kid figures that out and does the wrong more often cause he knows he can't be touched. man this world is going to crap in a hand basket, i guarantee if it was the same world as a long time ago you wouldn't have near the thugs and crime and bullshit people that we do now cause they asses would be getting a beat down and taught lessons.

I use to hunt before and after school when i was young then as i got older i got later and later to class cause i had to go home and drop my shells and gun off.

lol you aint lying

We had guns in our truck gunracks along with a few other goodies in high school in the early 80s that would land you in jail today. My buddy sometimes had his AR in his old pickup gunrack out in the school parking lot. We all had knives and skoal in our back pockets. Just in case coach needed a dip........ Sometimes we had cold beer during recess. I laugh cause my stepson is in 8th grade this year and will be 13 next month. On my 8th grade fieldtrip we went to Ponchatrain beach amusment park and Bourbon street in NO. First thing we did was go to the fake ID place and then preceeded to endulge on a few beers before the long school bus ride back home. Man have times changed.
