After(ball) Thoughts

Teenage dreams shattered in a shock move by Rangitoto College's principal, David Hodge. HE. BANNED. THE. BALL. OMG. The pupils at New Zealand's second biggest high school are sure to be devastated, desires to be King or Queen of the Ball snatched from them. All because of a few irresponsible parents who helped organise a 'boozy' after-ball party.
So the Herald decided to put the issue to the people, positing the question "Should high school after-ball parties be banned?":

TTF (Auckland)
A big yes, they ought to be banned for all schools. We never had any of that when we were at school over 30 years ago, and nothing happended except remaining healthy.


There was also no crime back then.

Father Of Two (Otara, Manukau City)
Yeah sure, let a whole bunch of school kids get on the piss, get out of control and start a riot in which they will probably kill each other over a girl wearing a mini skirt or because they sat on someone's chair. How stupid can this country get, it's seems to get more stupid as the days pass. Why not just give them a 40 ounce of Jim Beam Black label, 2 tinnies and a knife and see what happens. There should be charges against parents that let their under age kids drink alcohol


In a stunning display of sarcasm, Father of Two reveals his disapproval of the parents in question in the Rangitoto College after-ball case. His prescription for riotous teenage behaviour sounds like a great idea for a reality television show brief.

JD (Opawa)
How else we gonna get girls drunk and score?

Ahh JD, thank you for providing the token brief post inserted for hilarity. What Your Views comments thread would be complete without an attempt at pure comedy!
