I am also curious how bigrod115 an anonymous man in Cedar Rapids has discovered the meaning of "normality" after all the great philosophers have struggled to define the term. You have a right to your opinion but i suggest that you not use the word normal as if you stumbled accross a great epiphany....

I bet his father is now wishing that he would of had a stronger hand. When we were 16 we T.P.ed houses and egged a couple peoples garage doors but my god, Arson? I guess the difference was stfogner discipline at home and a respect for human life.

Loser, this guy should pay the consequences for a long time, instead he will leave the state and play football somewhere else that will overlook his "sexual predator" background at least our tax dollars will not be funding him as an Iowa Hawkeye Fri, 22 Apr 2011 16:33:07 +0000 http://www.kcrg.com/news/local/Sentencing-Delayed-for-Ex-Hawkeye-in-Assault-Case--120474209.html#IDComment145156552 http://www.kcrg.com/news/local/Impeachment-Sought-For-Four-Iowa-Supreme-Court-Justices-120466544.html#IDComment145153608 Yeah it makes me BARF when people think they have a right to tell others that they cannot lead happy lives. The younger generation is more progressive and hopefully when I am your age most racism, sexism and hateful thinking would be educated out of us.

Thank you so much for arguing for those of us who think the new gun laws are a joke! People are stupid if they think putting more guns in untrained hands is somehow going to make it more safe. I guarantee that it will not be long before one of the armed and untrained "vigilantes" shoots an innocent bystandard. As the ownder of the gun you are responsible for the bullet after it leaves the gun....it is only a matter of time.

As I heard on NPR the other day the head of the event did have knowledge of the dates far in advance, in my opinion it was an atttempt at more publicity for the event, it obviously worked.

I think it just shows poor taste on the part of the group.

The system will fail regardless of any current politcal argument,s we need to start doing some long-term planning and revamp these benefits to ensurre long term viability. Young people in their 20's, like myself, can no longer rely on the promise of Social Secuirty or Medicare.

At what point does it become taxpayers responsibility to take over the parental role? Fri, 22 Apr 2011 14:41:29 +0000 http://www.kcrg.com/news/local/Two-Teens-Accused-of-Arson-in-Anamosa-House-Fire-120431944.html#IDComment145125556 http://www.kcrg.com/news/local/Two-Teens-Accused-of-Arson-in-Anamosa-House-Fire-120431944.html#IDComment145124443 That is probably true, I just hope there is some way to reintegrate these young men back into society, we do not need any more young thugs in this state we have enough already.

I work in finance and notice a distrurbing trend of young right-out-of-college professionals who do not follow this rule. Situations facing the elderly population will continue to worsen as Social lSecurity and Medicare start to fail... plan now to take care of yourself start early as compund interest is one of the greatest forces on earth.

Like many of you I woke up today and went to work in cubicle, obviously not extremely busy today but that is not the point. Why do responsible parents/taxpayers have to foot this bill? In situations like this I wish there were a way to get the family to pay for the expenses at least until 18. When they turn 18 all inmates should be in chaingangs cleaning our highways and paying for their own food and lodging.
