It gives perverts access to it that normally wouldn't have. Technology exists to allow more work in less time with less people. Technology has taken away more jobs than it has created. People also used to talk to eachother in person and on the phone instead of keeping in touch via social networking sites on an hourly basis. I remember when people used to visit each other and call each other on the phone instead of just looking at their facebook wall. I'd gladly trade the internet for more jobs, more personal encounters, and less perverts and child abuse.

We need to tighten up on who gets let in to our country folks. It will be a much safer place for us all. Also, we have our own employment problems, lets hire Americans and get people back to work.

It makes you wonder then if the cases where the officers have been accused of being overly aggressive or abusive, if that really was the case due to roid rage. If society is going to work as everyone seems to want it to, the police have to be top notch citizens. Unfortunately, police officers are human and being so, succumb to the same temptations that the rest of us face day to day.

Make 100% sure there is no one coming if you are turning on red. ESPECIALLY when the visibility and road conditions are less than optimal. Nearly 100% of car-car collisions could be EASILY prevented if people just paid attention. That means stop distracting yourself with make-up, cell phones, swatting of kids, tacos, burgers, cd's, cigs etc. Thu, 13 May 2010 14:01:51 +0000 http://www.woodtv.com/dpp/news/local/grand_rapids/van-and-pickup-truck-collide#IDComment75257603 http://www.woodtv.com/dpp/news/local/sw_mich/Anti-gay-graffiti-scrawled-in-Fennville#IDComment75107342 Being gay isn't for me, but I feel that it is not my place to judge who other consenting adults love and have relationships with.

Having 5 kids is the reason our exponentially growing population is consuming more resources than it should be while polluting and destroying the environment. Having 5 children is 2.5 times the replacement level for the population. That is 5 children who will grow up and drive cars for 80 years, live in fossil fuel burning homes for 80 years, consume natural resources for 80 years, and destroy the Earth for 80 years. The greenest thing you can do is NOT have children; especially 5 children. The Earth in the end will win, but in the short run, the desire for people to "be a mommy" will end up ruining the human race through exponential growth and over-consumption of resources. The boat can only hold so many people before it sinks.

Unlike someone wielding a meat cleaver, someone with a gun has the potential to do some serious damage. Thoughts go out to the family of the victim and even the family of the perpetrator in this. I'm getting sick of seeing violent crime against spouses who want out of abusive relationships. We need to make avenues for help more clearly available. It sickens me to think of these women being trapped against their will in these relationships out of fear they may be harmed.

You can't pull someone over or question them based on assuming they might be illegal. That is what opponents want you to think. You have to do something illegal first, then if there is reason to believe that the individual is illegal (no/fake identification, no English comprehension) then the person's citizenship can be questioned. This is a step in the right direction for keeping illegals OUT. It even says in the article: "Republican State Rep. Kim Meltzer of Clinton Township says her bill would give police the the authority to arrest illegal aliens who are stopped and questioned on another offense."

A simple chain lock placed high up on the door could have prevented this awful tragedy. Roads are far more dangerous than ponds... are we supposed to line the streets with fences so when you're not watching your kid, it can wander around safely? Come on people... COMMON SENSE. Why is the burden of keeping your kids safe placed on everyone else but you?

BP is failing and doing a horrible job of taking care of their mess.

They aren't getting harassed because they're illegal or of a certain ethnicity, but if they do something that breaks the law and the officer feels that they are illegal, he should be able to do something about it.! To me this is a no brainer. We NEED to get rid of the illegals in this country. How are honest hard working Americans supposed to get a piece of the pie in their own country if we allow foreigners to come in and take the pie and ship it back to their families abroad?
