Lolz? They forced you to play? See, that's not cool.
And, yes, I think the no touch rule at that school is the worst thing that could be invented. I don't have empirical counter evidence to justify why, other than humans are an affectionate species. I guess if the humans are conditioned to believe that that type of hug is the best type, then they will get the same type of reward, at a neuro-chemical level.
IMO, that principle was horribly molested by other students so she's taking her problems out on her students. No, this wouldn't be the first time someone in education did that, either.
All the ways you wish you could be, that's me. I look like you wanna look, I **** like you wanna ****, I am smart, capable, and most importantly, I am free in all the ways that you are not.

This banning thing is pathetic. Emotions? Bull. I remember always being tagged and never getting anyone myself. I was also always targeted for four square. I was always picked last for kickball. I was slow, and I complained a lot. Do you want to know what came out of that? I work out every day, play sports, and live a good school social life filled with all sorts of friends. I took the things that hurt me as a kid and used it as fuel to shape me. Dodgeball I didn't play until Freshman year(sad, I know), but I kick ass at it. But when I was younger, I doubt I would have.
What I'm saying is losing and being at the bottom of the food chain is what motivates people into becoming successful. Take that away, and you've got nothing.
I was an easy target, being alot bigger than most of the other kids, but I threw the ball like a cannon, and liked to cause physical injury to the opposing players.
1. I used the wrong "principal" in my post. I am ashamed.
2. No, it was VERY funny. I laughed for like, 5 minutes, off and on. I am behind the times, I know. I also sent it to several coworkers. One of them was on a telecon and he did what I call the "barf laugh". That's the laugh were it starts out like the sound of puking and then it turns into a laugh...it is so suddenly hilarious, that you just bust up instantly. People thought something was wrong with him in his Telecon and asked if he was okay...he played it off like he was coughing....but muted his phone.
Anywho, it was awesome, awesome, awesome! I haven't laughed that hard in months. Good job for finding that gem, man!
I'm also the only due the in the theater laughing when someone gets killed in grotesquely absurd ways...so my sense of humor is probably not normal.
