      As if school wasn’t already a prison with all the metal detectors and xray machines.

            Eh, I know US-bashing is really popular here, but it has to be at least a little bit believable to be funny.

              My highschool literally had those and I had to wait in a long-ass line everyday before school, and if students are late, they get blamed for it, I’m not US-Bashing, its just the truth.

              Example (this one is not my school btw):

                There’s absolutely no way that’s true.

      My understanding is that prison is waaaay worse. Needlessly cruel, you might say
