When I was in highschool... 1990... I carried a pocket knife into school everyday and used it in class quite often. I never would have even thought of pulling my knife out for anything other than cleaning my nails, trimming a string, or sharpening a pencil.... Not even if I were in a fight, of which there were many, it was never even a fleeting thought in my mind, fists are what we used, accross the street from the school in of all places a Church Parkinglot.

You'd go to jail for the same now, boys can no longer be boys.
We lived to tell about it and I still wouldn't consider a weapon unless it were absolutely neccesary.

Guess kids figure if you're going to jail for fighting or jail for stabbing or shooting you may as well limit the physical damage to yourself.
Too many parents allow the media to dictate what will and will not be morally acceptable in their homes...
