Big P, so true.

Yes sir I believe it was like that too in the Philippines then. The "now" scenario isn't quite there yet. We are not that keen about political correctness...not yet anyway!

thanks for the BA, papa bear. Report It

A good spanking can save a lot of money.

Its too far fetched, dont you think?
Where do you get these scenarios and 1960/2007 answers. Idk about 1960, your answers might be plausible but my thoughts are:
(1) First scenario, 2007. Its more realistic that Mark & Johnny's friends will come to their rescue beat the hell out of each other , there is a huge commotion, some people called the police when they heard the siren they all ran.
(2) Schools in the philippines doesnt get extra funding for ADD students. Jeffrey might had a fight with the professor for disrupting the class, he is sent to principals office and do extra work. If he does it again, he gets suspended.
(3) Philippines dont have foster cares. There might be, but its not that active.
(4) Cigarettes in schools.Puff as you like on empty rooms or hallways. If you get caught on your first time. There is always a first warning before suspending someone.

Times have changed, unfortunately not for the better.
