It says a lot. Looks like these problems will become worse before they get better.

Simply being who you are is not shoving it in everybody's face. When same-sex couples hold hands, talk about their weekends together, or share a kiss in a movie theater, people ask, "Why are they shoving it in our faces?" As far as the parade, when people have been denied basic human rights, and finally there is some progress, they have every right to celebrate.

They keep running their city government like Jimbob's Backwoods Junkyard, though, and end up with situations just like this one.

If humans only experienced what was needed to survive, life would be a very boring existence. It simply feels good to be high. Why should I provide more of an answer than that? Aged cheese, smoked meats, dark chocolate, double maduro cigars, soft lips and firm breasts all make life more pleasurable. So does smoking a bowl with some friends.

He shows great restraint and patience, and looks at his career as a way to help people, not hurt. He was placed in two very unfortunate situations where he had to react with appropriate force. Luckily, he is still with us.

I own a gun shop, and I would never sell a firearm to anyone ranting like this.

That leaves her with $450,000. I'd happily spend the rest of my days with itchy junk for $450 grand.

What did you do, touch little boys? Let your niece sit on your lap a little too friendly-like? Stealing your neighbors panties? You sure are worked up over this whole thing.

Gays, Muslims and Hispanics are simply who they are, unless you are so bigoted you equate them with child rapists. Prostitutes? Victimless crimes. Insults? Hardly the same. There is only one foolproof method to keeping sexual predators from creating more victims; that is to destroy them right where they are. We already take the law into our own hands everytime a jury of twelve convenes. These two people were found guilty. They had been convicted of these crimes. It isn't as if the guy just made a couple accusations and then pulled the trigger. Tue, 5 Jun 2012 04:52:12 +0000 http://www.katu.com/news/local/157031115.html?clmob=y#IDComment374267183
