    Philadelphia Elementary School Paying Kids $100 Each Not To Fight

    I kid you not.

    Will a financial incentive motivate kids to be peaceful? "Some people are not fighting because they want the $100, but mostly, we just don't want to fight anymore," one Mitchell Elementary eighth grader said.

    Hey, Teach! I won't fight with Jimmy, Tommy, Billy, Johnny, Sammy, Dick, Harry, Freddy, Larry, or Pat. You owe me $1,000!

      "Financial incentives work". Yes, just ask all those kids mothers who had them at 15.

        Whatever happened to fisticuffs. Me and the neighbor kid went at it with the gloves on. I beat him and the lady next door awarded me with cookies(she was watching out the window). Me and the kid I beat are still good friends.

          Eighth graders getting their butts whupped by sixth and seventh graders who know they can't fight back. I'll bet that's doing wonders for their self esteem, eh?
          Does anyone else remember this line: "I'm not in this to fight. I joined the Army for the pay and education".

Of course the liberals went nuts and anyone who repeated the joke was of course, racist. Bill Clinton then gets into office and guess what he does to reduce crime in the inner cities? Midnight basketball leagues. Since BJ Bill was the one who implemented it, the liberals were OK with the racist implications.

              Pay the baby thugs to behave & they'll grow up to be adult thugs who demand 'protection' money to not burn down your house...
