  1. OK, I'll keep my ignorant mouth shut. Obviously there is nothing wrong with children whose lives are consumed by graphic imagery of brain splattering virtual violence, afterall, you're OK, so it obviously is not harmful at all. The Goth lifestyle is also a wonderful expression personal creativity, if anything, it is a healthy manifestation. Consider this my last post on the subject, I apologize to all those enlightened folks who I've apparently offended.
  2. Do you honestly believe that's what Huckabee was trying to say? Is it possible, just possible, his comment was a general statement about our society's dramatic loss of ethics, personal responsibility, personal accountability, etc? Whether that is an appropriate comment for this particular tragedy is certainly debatable, but do you really believe he inteded to imply that "These kindergartners weren't religious enough"? "The tech club held "LAN parties" — short for local area network — in which students would gather at a member's home, hook up their computers into a small network and play games. Gloria Milas, Joshua's mother, said Adam Lanza's mother hosted one of the parties." ""He just said he was very thin, very remote and was one of the goths," referring to a style of dress noted for a heavily black wardrobe." http://cnsnews.com/news/article/kindergarten-killers-background-parents-divorced-played-video-games-was-one-goths IF the above turns out to be true, is it just possible Huckabee just could possibly have a point? Were those teenage video game parties actually hosting virtual "killing fests" or were the video games of the Sesame Street variety? Was the "goth" lifestyle a warning, or just one of our liberal "anything goes" lifestyle endorsements? The facts are NOT out yet......but it may turn out Huckabee had a valid point.

  5. Jack10562 is correct. These are NOT mutual aid, these are the non union "scabs" from Alabama brought up by coned to replace their locked out Union employees. These workers were commonly observed performing substandard/unsafe work all across westchester, including the shallow setting of new poles.
  6. Can I "backup my statements"? Will a dozen copied and pasted headlines and URL's in this forum convince you of the "tone" of the news reports I clearly see? Of course not. You see something entirely different.....you see a presumed innocent unarmed woman gunned down by cowboy cops. That is my point PRECISELY! We see the world in polar opposites! Some decades ago, people would see the actions of a "Ms. Sweetie Pie" and were outraged by HER BEHAVIOR! Yes! Can you imagine? Even BEFORE trial and conviction! All a person had to do is flee police after an armed carjacking, jeopardize hundreds of innocent Mothers and children on the street, then try to kill pursuing Cops, and society would be outraged! What a concept.....universal outrage at outrageous behavior....perhaps even discouraging further outrageous behavior in others via the collective outrage expressed. It's an ancient mechanism which used to encourage responsible, positive behavior in society. No, I'm sorry, I can never "backup my statements" to your satisfaction since you see the world in a state "inverted" from my view. Go right ahead worshiping the bad guys (excuse me, the ALLEGED perpetrators with infinite rights and grievances) and demonizing the good guys, and enjoy whats coming as a result of that, because it is indeed coming.
  7. A classic example of the suicide of our society, for those, mostly over 50, who can still recognize the collective insanity. Let's take a step back and look at the "big picture": Participant #1: Ms. Sweetie Pie (as described by relatives): Out on bail for "kidnapping, attempted murder and weapons possession" after shooting the alleged robbery victim 5 times in the back. Was currently driving a car stolen in an armed carjacking, evading police in the car chase, exhibiting total disregard for all the innocents she might kill during this chase. Knocks one officer down with a door, and struggles with the other as she places the car into gear to drive away again with the officer partially in the car: OUTRAGE against Ms. Sweetie Pie: Practically non-existant, except for a few old right wing crazies. Participant #2: NYPD Officer: As per his sworn duty is pursuing a vehicle stolen in an armed carjacking. Car crashes, partner is knocked to the ground (likely for reasons unknown to him at that instant in time, struggling with the driver as the car is placed back into gear in an attempt to move again. Gun discharges. OUTRAGE against NYPD Officer: Near Universal in the Press, Academia and streets, including such superior rocket scientists as EMSer. Hope for our society: Nil.
  8. Do you have a cable modem and or a Router? If so, pull the power on them both, plug back in the cable modem, wait a minute, then plug back in the router. That just might do it.
  9. Wow, I can't believe everyone is jumping all over this guy! All he is saying is that while he would like to be a paid FF, it is not altogether reasonable to force residency for a low paying job in a region where the AVERAGE home price is over 700k! It's not like you can even commute from a more reasonably priced region due to these residency restrictions! Do any of you critics have families to support? Do you all live with Mom and Dad? Inherit your home? A lot of unwarranted hostility there!
