Aside from that, reading the comments on this article it would seem that the solution for bullying by 11 to 14 year old children is more bullying and knee jerk reactions by cowardly folks who hide behind the perceived anonymity of their computers and phones. Curious where these kids learn such behavior. I'm quite sure it isn't from more chronologically mature folks like those found on this board (sic).

Doing a job well is not an unskilled labor union concern....nor is having a coherent, intelligent, thinking member base. Yeah, I can say this not because I enjoy pot....its because I worked for that union many years ago. FYI....grocery store and retail clerks are not skilled labor.

She had not been wearing seatbelt and is now in the hospital in serious condition. Her blood alcohol level was .24, which is three times the legal limit, and she is now facing charges of DUII and reckless driving." Hopefully she at least had auto insurance which comes with PIP protection. However, $15k does not go far in hospital land, especially with an ER visit. Something tells me she doesn't carry any insurance and the rest of us are going to be facing her medical bills. Who is really going to get screwed in this deal?

I know my sample size is relatively small but some of the most racist people I have ever met are from Asia and the Middle East, Europe, and Australia. According to the Aussie...the reason we lost Vietnam is because we allow gorillas in the army According to the Persians I know...the darker your skin the more inferior you are unless you are from India or are Arab then you are always inferior which to them appears to mean sub-human. According to the Euros I know....Europe's problems stem from the influx of immigrents from Asia, the Middle East, and Africa. Similar to what I hear about Mexicans and the US. Just my personal experience and opinion but I feel like the US, even with the KKK and the Stars and Bars...is one of the least racist countries out there.

Oregon has a history of being one of the most racist states in the union. In the mid 19th century through the mid 1920s Oregon had exclusion laws prohibiting blacks from living in the state. Not only did we not want slaves, we didn't want freed slaves either. In the early 20th century the KKK had a pretty significant following....and not just in Coos Bay.

In order to receive unemployment compensation you have to agree and conform to a number of conditions. Something tells me that since this guy is on the run he is not complying with the most basic condtions....which is actively looking for work and being available to work. Should be fairly easy to verify that. Did he attend the "looking for work" seminar at the unemployment office? Can he provide a list of employer's he contacted about employment? Couple of phone calls should suffice.

You still have to have a valid drivers license to operate a motor vehicle in Oregon....correct? If that is no longer the case then hell, I'm not going to renew my license and save me a few bucks. I'll just keep my old one which will still have a record with DMV or I'll make up a card from the Republic of Boobanistan that says I'm John Q Public.

The stoned person probably would have tried to walk through the Max tunnel that goes under the highway a couple hundred yards west of Baltic Ave...because of the colored lights.

However, if ODS is the plan your employer provides what are you going to do? Quit your job and find another plan? In the end it's all about the Benjamin's. ODS will weather the storm and then come up with some slick feel good marketing campaign and you will all forget about this BS.

Those people should be giving you thumbs up galore and praising you.

Most black people die a premature death compared to white people so it's ok for me to bust a cap in the back of their head. There should not be any outrage using your argument. And really, according to Roe v Wade, that is my own business. Right?

Every once in a while I'll litter. Are you saying the equates to killing someone?

Are you saying the unborn child does not count for anything? Prove that to me in a scientific way. Prove to me that from a dna and genetic standpoint that unborn child is not a human being. Whether you like it or not, life does begin at conception and the notion of "private individual" goes out the window for about nine months.

There are plenty of people that bug me but in order to kill them I have to do it secretly, often involving back ally folks with horrible methods and potentially worse consequences to me. I should be able to get rid of those people without anyone questioning me becaues I have a right to privacy. If it is ok for you to kill unborn babies, why is it not ok for me to kill other groups I don't like. What makes you so special?

I find this article to be a testement to the community spirit of Sherwood. Instead of sitting around and waiting for "someone else to take care of it" they are actually doing something. I would like to ask Katufanman what you are doing to or what you have done to facilitate free football for all kids in your district? I'm sorry but paying your fee and buying a couple candy bars does not quite cut it. From past experience I know that fundraising is a ton of work on top of existing responsibilities and that it can be a thankless job.
