Is Intense debate back or did KATU make a mistake?

I was camping there for a while last week and we just ate cold food for fear of starting a fire. Then the wind comes up and it is impossible to stop. Is intense debate back? Or is this a mistake?

Now the feds are out of tricks to pull and have nothing they can do to stop the free fall that is coming. So many countries in Europe are in big trouble and the US has financial ties to all of them. Once they start falling it will create a domino effect and take down the US as countries like the UK sell US T-bills to support their failing economy. We have a world financial system built on sand and the water is rising. Just a matter of time before it all comes to a head.

These regulations will cost billions and will increase the costs to us consumers at a time when there isn't any money to spare further depressing the economy. Get ready boys and girls. Life as we know it will come to an end real soon.

I hope she recovers back to her normal life. As for the perp one can only hope he resists arrest and police are forced to shoot him.

In all the years I have been buying off Craigslist I have never been taken. But some of my friends have.

There are a lot of graduates that can't get jobs in this economy. Mostly because they have degrees that are worthless like most arts degrees are.

"We need to raise taxes or we will have to lay off police and firefighters." "We are doing this to save the taxpayers money and make things more efficient." "If elected I promise to make your life better." "I promise not to post this on the internet babe. This video will be just for us to watch."

Think about it. She could have just paid it thinking it was rather high and then later caught it. She must be pretty good at watching her finances to catch something like that. Okay, for those who are challenged when it comes to sarcastic humor that is what my comment was. I am sure many will still not get it and flag me down. Some folks just don't get it and never will.

Criminals have nothing to lose and can afford to gamble. Us honest folks know we can lose everything and do time in prison. Most of these scammers are in foreign countries that are hard to track and even if they could track them the foreign countries refuse to extradite those folks.

They don't respond to anything. It is a pretty low life organization that has a long history of letting anyone post for any reason. They have terms of use and a list of prohibited items but when apprised of those violations they just choose to ignore them. In the past they have been indirectly linked to prostitution, murders, robberies, and have a long history of scams that have cost innocent people billions. Their response is that they can't control who posts what and expect the community to flag off offending ads. Well no one does that so the ads stay up. Criminals love Craigslist.

He will just sit for hours in the same place and won't move. They have to get pretty close as I am sure you are aware of. He has had limited success unlike his success getting a deer with a bow. Good luck. You have to be pretty good to get one with a bow. Baiting is an option of course or calling them in.
