Walsingham Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/education/8500404.stm Warning of a rise in attacks in the past three years, the report highlights teachers being murdered in Thailand, the destruction of schools in Afghanistan, sexual attacks on schoolgirls in the Democratic Republic of Congo and "narco-guerrillas" trying to control schools in Brazil. TYPES OF SCHOOL ATTACK School damaged by bomb Kidnapping and torture Gun and rocket attacks Explosions Mass poisoning Sexual violence Burning buildings Forced recruitment of child soldiers Source: Unesco It identifies new trends, including "the direct killing and mass poisoning of schools students in Afghanistan and the mass abduction of pupils for recruitment as suicide bombers in Pakistan". Not sure what my point is. I'm just appalled. "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe.

213374U Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Not sure what my point is.Perhaps that we are critically short of Sir Charles Napiers? Sometimes I wonder... - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theslug Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 (edited) Man how awesome would that be. Your just in school mackin on some 15 year old when all the sudden a rocket propelled grenade blows up next to you. Instinctively you jump and shield her young supple body with yours. Shrapnel tears into your skin, riddling your body. Then you get rushed to the hospital and she visits you and gives you oral for a couple months while you recover. Sounds nearly worth it to me. Edited February 10, 2010 by theslug There was a time when I questioned the ability for the schizoid to ever experience genuine happiness, at the very least for a prolonged segment of time. I am no closer to finding the answer, however, it has become apparent that contentment is certainly a realizable goal. I find these results to be adequate, if not pleasing. Unfortunately, connection is another subject entirely. When one has sufficiently examined the mind and their emotional constructs, connection can be easily imitated. More data must be gleaned and further collated before a sufficient judgment can be reached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorgon Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 It migth be fruitful to learn the difference between the contraction 'you're' and the posessive pronoun 'your', untill you do you will constantly piss people off without even knowing why.

Orogun01 Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Good to see that the world is still the same. I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"* *If you can't tell, it's you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveThaiBinh Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 This is just speculation and I have no evidence that it's true for any of the schools mentioned, but it does occur to me that there are more schools than there used to be - universal primary and secondary education are major development goals and have been a high priority of the World Bank and other agencies in the last few years. This might have led to opening schools in more unstable areas, perhaps? If so, it raises even more questions about seeing development sectors in isolation and the very targets-driven approach of the Millennium Development Goals.

Gorth Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 Maybe somebody out there realised that an educated population is the greatest threat to their power. “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

I'd be surprised if that wasn't an influencing factor. But I'm not sure that entirely accounts for culpability. Sounds rather like the 'she was asking for it' defence. "It wasn't lies.
