Re: Councilwoman to gang rapists: "What do you need from society to make better choic Citing just half the quote makes it appear that the Councilwoman was trying to find excuses for the atrocity committed, but I don't think that was her intent at all. No sane person would find ANY excuse for...

Ya think? :rolleyes: There will never be another New Orleans, though. It was one of the few unique cities in the US, and while Katrina didn't damage the French Quarter, it is different than it was before. Probably better in some ways, and still unique, but not the same city it was.

When I saw the photo of N.O. on the front page of the USA Today morning paper, I stood on the sidewalk and just cried. I'd lived there for a couple years, and had no way of knowing if any of the dead were friends. [As far as I know, none were, but there are a couple I never did find]. When I saw...

Which part of "reputable doctor" did you miss? There are scum in every profession. And there are parents with very energetic kids, and capable doctors [and teachers] can tell the difference. Even when the parents don't want to hear it.

I always thought Irish Setters are just dumb - beautiful, but not too smart. Chihuahuas, on the other hand, are frequently known to go gonzo. ;)

The misconception to which I refer had zero to do with the difference between boys & girls. Nada. And those differences have zero to do with the subject, either. And I seriously doubt any of those random thoughts that kept my granddaughter from completing tasks would have led to a cure for...

In the conflict between safe drivers running well maintained equipment and those who aren't & don't, the enemy definitely isn't 1s and 0s. It's the usual shortsighted viewpoint that greed encourages.

The schools that are misguidedly cutting recess are already discovering the error of their plans - kids need to move. But on the subject of ADD/HD, you are misinformed. Kids are not prescribed Ritalin because "they get antsy" - that's a popular misconception. That parents & teachers would want...

Can you find even ONE single shred of proof that any school does not permit engaging in physical activity? Or that kids "are drugged when they get antsy"? I know the latter is a popular belief [among those who have no kids in school, usually], but I have never seen any proof that it is anything...

Welcome! It's always good to have more good people. ;)

Yep - it's funny, how the one that got stuck on while I wasn't looking turned out to be a favorite, lol. The other one said "Don't blame me, I voted for Ed!" Without any idea who Ed is/was, I liked it: whatever it is, it's not my fault, because I voted for Ed. ;)

We've seen the unemployment go up and the jobs become part time, for a long time now, but I haven't seen any restraint in the greed at many of the biggest companies - and especially the ones that hire entry level, and the ones that have eliminated jobs in recent years. It would be great if we...

There's a village of terrorists in Detroit?!!

Hospitals claim the prices reflect the costs of treating those who can't pay, so in theory, having everyone insured will lower costs. Why don't I believe it will happen that way? :rolleyes:

I have no idea [Gottago might], if there's no way to find out from the website, as I got mine at the MATS show. Anyhow, if it takes a few weeks to get them, it will still be good weather for installation. PS Do read the instructions that come with them - putting them on backwards is really dumb...

I support whatever would lower the ridiculous costs of medical care in the US, but it sure doesn't look like Obamacare is it. :mad:

Of course BC/BS blames it on Obama - but the insurance industry doesn't exactly have a track record of being truthful. :rolleyes:

I'm sure there are those people, and I bet you see a fair amount of that personally, being in a position to provide 'jobs' that the ignorant believe don't require much skill [making them entry level], but I do not believe there are enough of them to explain the persistent and critical...
