    Strip search of thirteen-year-old girl ruled unconstitutional

    Oh, and another thing- that all-white Christian Academy private school- they weren't all snobs. Got to know a few of them, who were REAL Christians, as in practice what you preach. They were a little too goody-two-shoes for my taste, what with all the praying and hand-holding and hugging, but...

    Strip search of thirteen-year-old girl ruled unconstitutional

    ...and another point I want to make. The "Good Old Days" when I was in school was no bed of roses. It was tough and you had to scrap. There was some lingering racism- some of the whites just didn't like blacks, and vice-versa. But that was mostly among the "Townies". Most of us farm kids got...

    This idiot is an idiot!

    For anyone who has worked in SoCarolina and paid their state taxes and followed their politics and been harrassed by their woefully underpaid, barely literate cops, just for having an out-of-state license plate, this comes as no surprise. The state itself is beautiful in places, and some of the...

    This is how it starts...

    strangely enough, many of these things are also caused by the condition of being alive. Couldn't agree more! When one realizes that no matter how many precautions you take, how much fiber you ingest, et cetera and ad nauseum you could still be clocked out by a lightning bolt or whatever at...

    Strip search of thirteen-year-old girl ruled unconstitutional

    My public school education was a mixed bag- I still think that religion (i.e.- High School Football) got too much of the budget, to the detriment of academics. But we had some teachers who really cared about the kids and learning. The only other option was a Christian private school that most of...

    President Empathy

    Hey, I'm no big Obama cheerleader, but getting sick and tired of everybody giving the guy so much grief, and often over the most trivial B.S. Call him on the B.S., if you disagree with his policies, but he IS our President. His cabinet IS our Executive Branch right now. I don't agree with a lot...

    Micheal Jackson makes 3

    Never strongly disliked MJ, just never got into that kind of pop music. It was briefly cool when he had a Van Halen guitar solo, and got Vincent Price's voice, but it was just bubblegum pop pablum for the mindless teenyboppers, as far as I was concerned. There was so much better music made in...

    Is chat dead?

    Hey, Tonks! Hope you are well. Me, I never could get the hang of IM. Can't type that fast. Still don't know how to text-message on my cell. Them little buttons are too small for my big clumsy fingers. I strongly dislike telephones and really peeved that they've gone wireless. Too much space junk...

    A 5-year old's First Job

    A little boy got a set of building blocks for his birthday. His Ma asked him why he didn't play with them. "I don't know what to build". His Ma suggested he go outside and watch the constuction crew building the new house next door, just keep out of their way. So he went out into the front yard...

    The Problem With Gated Communities

    "I have a 45min-1hr drive to work each morning...long enough, thanks " Jeezus, that means 8 hours of work plus 2 hours commute= 10 hours, not to mention gasoline, wear&tear on the vehicle every day. Is there no limit to what a human being can tolerate?

    The Problem With Gated Communities

    I've thought about buying a hobby farm, but those'd take me pretty far away from where I work. I have a 45min-1hr drive to work each morning...long enough, thanks A "hobby farm"- there's a concept! Thanks! The little accountant in my brain says, "Yeah- you can rent out the Back Forty to...

    The Problem With Gated Communities

    Armadillos- an "invader specie" but it didn't invade- brought in by humans. They are supposed to carry leprosy, but I like 'em- they eat fire ants and yellowjacket larvae- more power to 'em. And we all need a little more leprosy, anyway. Q: What did the leper say to the hooker? A: "Keep the...

    The Problem With Gated Communities

    Aye, I guess we have to have official enforcers. My hat is off to you all who have to live in cities and big towns. It must require a lot of patience and tolerance. The noise level alone would drive me crazy, not to mention having to interact with so many people constantly. I guess the rural...

    Breaking Bad Withdrawals

    Inkara1- Your eyeballs are safe, especially since you're on the other side of the continent. My point was that there have always been unwanted kids. It's a by-product of sex. Everyone likes to get laid, but few are ready, willing and able to be responsible parents to the offspring. Don't say...

    The Problem With Gated Communities

    Ah, the Voice of Reason! Never understood the need for "domestic help". If you are such an important big shot that you just don't have time to manage/clean/maintain your own Castle... maybe the Castle's too big. Maybe you're wasting space and oxygen.

    Breaking Bad Withdrawals

    I was at the neighborhood store today to get my fix of Funyuns, nicotine, and caffeine. There was a bunch of youngsters hanging out in front. They parted like the Biblical Sea for Moses. I flatter myself to think it was my gravitas, but more likely it was superficial stuff, like my Motorhead...

    "You can always complain to the city about your neighbours' crap on their lawn. They're pretty good at replying."- Mr. Bishop Ah, you see? That's the difference! When you live in a city, or the overgrown sprawl of Suburbia, and the "crap on your neighbor's lawn" offends you, your first resort...
