I think we all can think of some.

Not everyone in West Seattle was complaining about the BIRDS. Some people wanted to enjoy the park and were hoping this would go through. It didn't stand the chance and I for one am disappointed.

So, a lot of people weren't able to make it. I'm hoping for more advertising for future meetings so people on both sides have the opportunity to speak.

Go play on swings! Go hug a tree! Go do something else! There's a WHOLE PARK to enjoy. People are loud, and they will be no matter what. You can't live in a bubble unless you build one for yourself.

Everyone's screaming about cost to themselves when they probably already have coverage. Those who will actually benefit are being drowned out.

People with health insurance are healthier, and allowing them to pay their bills brings the cost down for everyone. Everyone is free, everyone is brave, and now nearly everyone can live healthier.

The port brings in a lot of money to the city, bandwagon basketball fans don't. Why don't we improve roads, get Metro to a good place, THEN think about another sports team. Better yet, let's get some of the roads BEING WORKED ON NOW finished before we throw yet more construction down there.

Apparently you haven't actually lived here. You must race through like all the others and hope us dirty residence don't jump out and beg for food. White Center is awesome. You have no idea what you're missing, but please don't bother visiting. We don't need haters.

I didn't like this one as much as one of the ones last year, but everyone demanded their 'cheap' booze. If they require after-tax prices on liquor, they should do it for everything. If you don't know what tax rates you're paying, you are an uninformed consumer. Costco put up a little sign in their aisles. Other stores can do that and call it good.

I'm a little shocked you are defending them. Would you use the same argument if the couple was not white? How about a couple who were not the same ethnicity? Christians are NOT being oppressed in the US. Your hatred is just being pointed out in public.

There are plenty of other great breast cancer charities around to give to. If they don't like that they didn't make as much in donations, then they can change who they are affiliated with. Until SGK sues them unless they change colors, but at least those actions will speak louder.

They can't win, so they just stand back until it gets too bad.

Works the same, costs no extra.

Love it! It's about time. I'm hoping the West Seatte/White Center changes streamline the routes and make it all easier. My route is always late, takes forever, and has large gaps between buses even during peak. Tue, 17 Apr 2012 17:29:03 +0000 http://www.komonews.com/news/local/Metro-mulling-major-service-changes-147701195.html#IDComment341163005 http://www.komonews.com/news/local/Metro-mulling-major-service-changes-147701195.html#IDComment341161812 My route's getting messed with, which will make everything just take that much longer for a ride that is already too long based on it's starting and end points. If fares go up, you can bet I'll just start driving. Tue, 17 Apr 2012 17:27:11 +0000 http://www.komonews.com/news/local/Metro-mulling-major-service-changes-147701195.html#IDComment341161812 http://www.komonews.com/news/local/Metro-mulling-major-service-changes-147701195.html#IDComment341159348 If you are really bothered, you will figure out how to get stuff done ON the bus. Riding the bus sucks, and people who don't rely on it are completely unsympathetic (ex: read the comments here). So, you just have to learn to manage. I had to do a lot of reading and homework the last two quarters while riding.

Everyone complains about tax dollars and waste, and yet the NBA looks in our direction and they pee their pants wanting to get a new stadium. Priorities are a bit skewed in this city.
