most people are tired of people sitting back and collecting tax dollars without effort expended. It was not "let the kids starve" it is make them earn the meal, just like every one that works and pays their taxes. I had to work for my food why shouldn't the kids and adults getting a part of my tax dollars? This is one of the problems with liberals is that they teach people how to collect a free dinner but not how to work for their dinner, this in turn teaches how to get a free ride through life.

This is a fundamental difference between the left and the right. The right says: If the parents refuse to participate in their child's education, then no free lunches for their children. This will force the parents to participate, because they will no longer have free lunches. They will now have to get jobs to provide lunches for their children and the taxpayer will be better off. The left says: If a child already has the major handicap of a parent(s) not involved in their education and on top of that, if the child comes to school hungry, study after study shows these children will perform poorly in school. poorly performing students are far more likely to drop out and be single parents, be unemployed, and end up in prison. If we spend a few hundred dollars a year now, as opposed to tens of thousands later, we save money and have a better society If the parent does not want to get involved you could make the child take extra classes or tests to aid in there education as payment for the food.

Actually, in the interest of fairness. That is exactly what he stated. He stated if parents don't participate, no lunch for their kids. If nothing else, you have to love his logic. “I can show you a bar graph where free and reduced lunch has the worst test scores in the state of South Carolina,” adding, “You show me the school that has the highest free and reduced lunch, and I’ll show you the worst test scores, folks. It’s there, period.” … “You go to a school where there’s an active participation of parents, and guess what? They have the highest test scores. So what do you do? You say, ‘Look folks, if you receive goods or services from the government and you don’t attend a parent-teacher conference, bam, you lose your benefits.’” I agree with this. The entire problem with any welfare is that the persons receiving it dont have to do anything to receive it. I feel any welfare should have strings attached that would make it look better to find a way to handle your own financial situation instead of the government.

I guess the difference would be that I don't remember Bush say anything about not giving no bid contracts, I do remember Obama saying it. That would make him a liar once again.

we would probably need more drinks because of the sobering effects of what government has done to us.

What a novel and ingenious idea. We should immediately change over to that system. yep, why would we throw out the liberal ideas and go back to actually just deciding guilt or innocence?

It's the kind of math when you subtract 46 from 53, which was the count at the time we were having this discussion. It may continue to move until the absentee ballots are counted. Coakley didn't even win Kennedy's hometown - that's why it's a landslide, though I'll grant that 5 isn't the same as 7. (The normal definition would be 10+ points) I see you have no actual substance on the matter of your unsuitable Palin reference. since Obama won by 26 and brown won by 5 that would be a 31 point swing, I would call that a landslide

Did he shoot 8 people dead? It didnt say in that report, so im not sure. But im sure he indoctrinates plenty of ignorant kids. Does he indoctrinate them to shoot 8 people dead? so it is ok to indoctrinate kids as long as they don't shoot 8 people?

And she's only a few years old to me. Runs rather well considering. It's the smell of burning oil/tranny fluid that stinks her up. Hang a couple dozen PineTree air fresheners in her???? NOT. FIND OUT WHAT IS LEAKING probably needs valve cover gaskets still. the trans may be the solenoid pack Yes, I understand and stop yelling at me before I start crying. I wasn't yelling, my caps button got pushed by accident, but I left it that way to stress the point. hope things are well in the warmth that you left us for. I need a repack when you coming home?

I gotta admit It has been a fun evening

for people that don't have a fucking clue - if you don't like capitalism go somewere else

yep you are correct the TI is responsible for the passenger and this TI fucked up. The DZO is responsible for the help he hires and to make sure the job is done right, the DZO fucked up by letting an unqualified and / or a lazy TI do tandems for him.

No, the DZO is responsible for his employees and how they operate. If the Ti was not currant it was HIS responsibility to make him get currant. If the TI was not following the correct procedure it was HIS responsibility to correct it. The TI screwed up and so did the DZO.

to bad the health care bill doesn't address this either.

what would be a joke would be putting another person in control that has ideas that could damage the another segment of the government. Demint has a legitimate concern and he is waiting for a response. maybe the dems should address the concern and then we could move forward.

Unfortunately our current legal system isn't about good and bad or right v. wrong. I know Sherry & Tim and they are decent people. Who's to say that given the same choice of spending all of our assets fighting a losing battle or just re-opening under a new company we wouldn't all choose the latter. I'm sure that was the advise of counsel. It's a terrible set of events and there is really only one person responsible for it happening. you are correct the DZO

it is being reported that this guys dad tried to warn the US and europe in the last several months. how did he even get here? the system doesn't work because to much time is being spent searching and screaning people that are not fitting the profile of the terrorists.

What an asshole. He showed his true colors. He's all for taking freedom and choice, just not "too much." If the Supreme Court, in its living breathing Constitutional reinterpretations, can give the thumbs up to the feds to ban my pissing in my back yard on the grounds that it could affect interstate commerce, then this will pass muster, as well. there is another issue (Ithink it is on page 1023) in the senate health bill that says that furure congresses cannot undue parts of the health care bill. sounds to me like unconstitutional things are spread through out the bill. but why would they worry about the constitution?

your welcome. thank your peaceful life to american men and their guns! You didn't forget the one or other nation, didn't ya? So c'mon, big boy, tell me how you safed my life .... I didn't do anything, the american way of life that includes producing & owning guns to fight and capitalism to become wealthy is what saved europe twice from radical dictatorships that killed millions. so before condeming the US and how we run things maybe europe needs to take a lesson from the US and stop criticizing us and just say thank you.

the problem seems to be (imo) is that people can not let others be themselves. this country is becoming to controled because a couple people are offended by things that really don't concern them. What you wrote "Not everyone wants to fuck over one religion or another" may be true but some are trying to "fuck over" many religions and long standing traditions.

I suppose so. But apparently being shot to death with an SKS is much worse than being shot with a bolt-action rifle. I guess that's like the "hate crime" laws, whereby being attacked because you're a homosexual is much worse than just being attacked for your wallet. Here are the rifles I own which would fall under their definition: (see the attached photo). From top to bottom: - AR-15 - M1A (M14) - M1 Carbine - Russian SVT-40 - French MAS-49 Gosh, they sure look evil, don't they? I better keep an eye on the rascals! I wonder if one background check would cover me for all current "military style semi-auto rifles", or would I need a separate background check for each one? those could kill someone. better get rid of them before they actually kill someone

your welcome. thank your peaceful life to american men and their guns!

There are about 250 million guns in America, according to the BATF. There were 10,369 murders with guns in 1996, according to the FBI. Thus, only one out of every 24,000 guns is used to commit murder. That is .004% of all guns. 99.996% of all guns are never used to murder anyone! does that mean guns are safer than jumping?
