Is Flatulence Wrong???

YES, it is official. I almost got to see that exact case go to court. I was working with a young lady whose doctor had put on some meds for depression. One of the side effects of the meds was gas. Well, those meds caused her to pass gas all day after she had been on them for several days. The other girls in the office went to the manger & demanded that she be fired. Fortunately the manager wasn't totally stupid & knew he had no grounds to fire her as she was doing her job!!!

That is an interesting story. It just goes to show how some people will react to a situation like that, without knowing all the facts.

This just seems soooo freakin whacked out to me!!! I don't have a solution to the problem, but somebody in Florida is being paid BIG bucks to tackle a problem like this!!!

they shouldn't be punishing the kid at all. he passed gas...get over it. its a natural body function

Could he really conjure one up on demand or was he just extremely gassy & used them to his advantage...knowing that it drive you crazy???

I have NEVER farted on purpose. It is ONLY possible with the appropriate amount of gas...dayum near impossible to create on demand. So I find this whole thing silly & stupid!!! I feel the bus driver should be relieved of his duties for failure to lead!!!

If this kid was such a big problem, why didn't the bus driver report him to the authorities at school. A letter to his parents stating this is the problem & if it doesn't stop he will be banned from riding the bus would surely have taken care of the problem. Since most parents work, I'm sure they would have taken the matter up with the kid. I've seen little boys (& girls) who are able to burp on command. (I used to be one of them when in grammar school.) But I have NEVER met a kid that could fart on command. That takes a little cooperation from Mother Nature!!! When fake burping the kid swallows air to expel. Even the worst kid I've ever kept was unable to suck air up his/her rear. It takes some natural gassy buildup. So, I seriously doubt that this kid is guilty as charged. Of course that also means that it is highly unlikely that some other kid did it just to set him up. I feel that there is much more to this story than has been either discovered or released!!! Oh well, I guess it will all come out in the wash!!!

Very funny you have made me laugh.xx

Yes...very wicked!!!

Oh yes, there could be tons of unknown reason why this child might possibly have a real problem. Atleast they didn't print his picture!!!

Not sure how it became bad. However, young children who can't even talk will laugh when they hear someone pass gas. I have also noticed that it is considered a manly sport of which ladies are not supposed to participate. I've always heard that if you hold them in, it will make your head explode

Yes, it would. How can we expect our children to act like adults when our adults act like children??? My guess is that the bus driver hates his job!!!

I don't feel he should be banned either. It's virtually impossible to fake a f@rt...especially by including the odor. Plus, there is no proof that he was the one doing it. His parents should be on this like white on rice!!!

My Dad's side of the family are Kings of the Art of Farting & even they could not force one on command. I believe the bus driver here has a real deep emotional problem & think he should be removed from his job!!! It's obvious he can't lead young children.

My ex husband always blamed it on the dog!!! He said it was the only reason he even wanted a dog. YES, he was sick!!!

I don't know if the bus driver is really wrong, but I don't think it is being handled right!!! There has to be a better way to handle this. I've seen too many kids set up another kid just for the fun of it. The evidence just doesn't seem to fit in my mind.

Not only is it hard to keep in but if you do try you can end up with health problems. I think it is ridiculous to punish someone for a body function that cannot be helped.

I agree with both of you!!! I have NEVER known anyone who f@rts on purpose & causes it to happen at will. I have known many who used a wet arm pit to recreate the sound or could get the sound from pressing the palms of their hands together. Of course, I grew up with the wonderful invention...The Whoopi Cushion!!! This whole article really makes me feel like calling together ALL the guys I knew from high school to get together in front of the bus driver's house & play him a song!!!

They are almost impossible to control whether trying to emit one or hold it in!!!
