I am becoming more and more sorry that the internet was ever invented.

If so, then here's another reason to put a fence around the dumb things...............could have saved this man's life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends. And, p.s. to grandpa's out there mowing the lawn to please be extra careful when you are taking that precious baby grandchild to mow the lawn with you. Thanks.

Looks like 3 future child abusers have been created as well. This is a very sad case on many counts. How could you ever believe these children will be able to make good decisions about much of anything in life when they already think what daddy has done is good?

Who do you think will be doing enforcement? Police Departments have cut back on personnel and need those they have left for other crimes. And, please stop blaming Democrats, or liberals for whatever it is your are un-happy with . If your argument can't stand on it's own merit, then it wasn't a good one to begin with.

And, yes, I do see gas going that high. The BP off shore oil spill is still going strong, and we will be paying, at the pump, for that mess.

In fact, my neighbors in back love the fireworks so much, they do them every night of the year. And, I do mean every night. I'm sure they will be well pleased with this news.

Little Ms. victim here, is a drunk and a lush, who flaunts the law and puts innocent people's lives at great risk by driving drunk. Personally, I find that behavior indefensible. And, quite frankly, it wouldn't suprise me one bit that she parlayed her sexual prowess with the intent of getting a reduced sentence. He should not have done what he did and neither should she. End of story.

You make a lot of sense.

But, it's only over when WOOD TV decides it's over I'm thinking.

You did it to me again "dhl". You've gotta stop reading my mind like this. I swear, I was thinking the very same things, and I do mean all of them. You, however, came up with a much better reply than I could ever have. These stories make me laugh, but I'm sure some folks do believe them, because they want to. Personally, I think some writer is given 10 darts and a map of the U.S. Where the dart lands is the city that is the______________________!! (choose your own ajective), or is in the top 10, list of somethingorother.

Thanks "purplecat" for my smile today!!! Thu, 13 May 2010 02:34:53 +0000 http://www.woodtv.com/dpps/news/strange/nebraska-police-nab-alleged-toilet-paper-bandit-jgr_3354537#IDComment75175662 http://www.woodtv.com/dpp/news/target_8/Pond-drownings-spur-little-action#IDComment75174501  IntenseDebate Notification <DIV>Thanks for your interesting and thoughtful reply. When I questioned \" a law suit or suing in general\" I never, for one minute even took money into consideration. I was thinking, more along the line of sending a message to the property owner(s) to correct the situation. I think I would probably be offended if someone thought they could ease my pain with some money. No amount could ever do that.............I quite agree with you. I was thinking more of suing to get an action taken (i.e. fencing).</DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV>As for my daughter, now age 40, this was the one and only time something like this ever happened. It was a sleep-walking event for which she never had any memory of the next morning or ever after, for that matter. But, oh what a living nightmare it was for us!!!!</DIV> <DIV style=\"FONT: 10pt arial\"> Thu, 13 May 2010 02:24:09 +0000 http://www.woodtv.com/dpp/news/target_8/Pond-drownings-spur-little-action#IDComment75174501 http://www.woodtv.com/dpp/news/local/muskegon_county/siblings-of-drowning-victims-removed-from-their-families#IDComment75053399  IntenseDebate Notification <DIV>Thanks, \"dhl\", this does clarify things for me. I have found that I am almost always in complete agreement with you. Your posts are well thought out and very even handed. When you write, I always read what you have to say, because of this. And you are correct too, when you say it's odd that both of these stories surfaced at the same time............makes for confusion, which is why I asked in the first place.</DIV> <DIV style=\"FONT: 10pt arial\"> Wed, 12 May 2010 12:41:05 +0000 http://www.woodtv.com/dpp/news/local/muskegon_county/siblings-of-drowning-victims-removed-from-their-families#IDComment75053399 http://www.woodtv.com/dpp/news/local/muskegon_county/siblings-of-drowning-victims-removed-from-their-families#IDComment75017640 How does the name 'Ya'mesha" set the child up for failure? Would it be , because the name is one only a black parent would give their child? If I follow your logic, then I would have to conclude you believe all black parents who give their children uniquely "black" names are bad parents. I volunteer in my grandchildren's schools, every week and am so blessed to have this wonderful opportunity. I guarentee you that there are many, very bright little black girls and boys, who do very well and are very popular with all the children....even the white children. And, some of these kids have names I am sure you and the Mrs. would consider to be a set up for failure.

I don' t know why you got the thumbsdown, but I gave you the thumbs up on this . For Eucalyptus, and other CPS fans, I would ask that you keep your eyes open for awhile, and then decide the culpability of this agency. They have more excuses for not doing their job than the deadbeat parents they are supposed to be going after. And, we, society have a long and sad list of dead children to prove it. Rember Calista? Her trial just ended and her parents got years of prison for torture in causing her death in a house fire. There are many others of course where CPS failed to protect our most vulnerable. Save your tears for the kids, please.

Based on the thumbsdown marks you have received, it apparently is not very nice, or is racist somehow. But, I am just guessing. Could you be more clear so that I can get it.
