I'm not speaking about all players but a lot of them feel that way because ever since they touched a football and showed talent for playing the game laws and rules have changed for them. Maybe a teacher will give them a better grade than they deserve because if they don't he won't meet the academic requirements to play on the team, if he's out drinking with his buddies and the cops come bye they turn a blind eye to the teams best player even if he causes an accident that involves only him and others in his car, if they rape a cheerleader she is pressured into keeping quiet, if they get into a fight they'll serve detention as long as it doesn't interfere with the game and practice schedules. Hell, in Texas a second string offensive lineman killed a guy and got a couple of years of house arrest!! After being treated that way and seeing others treated that way for fourteen years or more they do believe the rules and laws don't apply to them. It's the culture of putting talented sports players on a pedestal that's the problem IMO.

They don't want to travel that far to their jobs or get new ones.

How do you know she's not qualified to do her job?

So you really believe that has never happened to a Christian wife? Are you familiar with the John List case? In the book "Under the Banner of Heaven" there a couple of examples of guys killing family members because God told them to. Nutjobs exist in every religion. IMO, because you have to be a nutjob to believe your religion is the only true religion and that nobody of your faith would ever do anything so hideous. And a guy holding a sign saying behead those who insult Islam has anything to do with him killing him his wife how?

Do you really think before you write or not? Please explain to me how those two things are the same.

I've seen a lot of stuff on the national media showing how the community in Clarence Central have come together after the crash. That's very positive IMO.

Mat-Su district officials say they do, indeed, provide services for hearing-impaired students. There are three certified hearing-impaired teachers in the district, according to Scott Daugharty, assistant director of student support services. The district also employs two sign-language interpreters and hires four more as independent contractors. "We don't ever want to say we can't provide the support for these children," Daugharty said. "But people like the mother you're discussing have chosen that culture of having numerous other deaf students around her daughter." So they already provide support at her school for hearing impaired students but because this girls parents want her to go to a different school we're supposed to pick up the tab? I wonder how much terminating the sign language workers at her school would save the district? If they have to support a kid going to the special school ninety miles away then make all hearing impaired kids go to this school and terminate the sign language staff at her local school. That would make up some, if not all, of the added expenses. I think a lot of the other kids wouldn't want that because they want to be close to home and already have friends in their local school. Put it up to a vote by the parents of the hearing impaired kids and whoever wins, wins and the district keeps the sign language interpreters or gets rid of them. If the parents want her to go to that school they should have to take her. I never went to private school but I hope we aren't paying for the buses for those schools. If you want something bad enough you have to sacrifice for it. The state is already providing that school for free. The least a parent can do is take her their themselves. Middle-school students from the Valley had never been bussed before, and that age group might be better off living at the school, state-appointed Hearing Officer Thomas J. Slagle found in fall 2007. Also, I'm curious about what living at the school means. Are there dorms that are paid for by the tax payers there? If so then she has to stay there if they want her to be educated there enough and refuse to drive her themselves. If the state is providing a special school that has a live in option that's free there and is providing sign language interpreters already at her local school then the state is going above and beyond what it should reasonably be asked to do. They want their cake and to eat it too. Some sacrifices have to be made if you want special services for your kid. For the 2007-2008 school year, Katelyn lived during the week with an aunt in Chugiak, putting a crunch on that family and leaving the girl out of birthdays and other family events, her mother said. The kid is 90 miles away!! It's not impossible to pick the kid up for birthdays and such. Why not wait and celebrate birthdays on the weekends? These people are freaking unbelievable. Where do they expect the back bending to stop for them? Another option is to load up the bus with packages to deliver Anchorage businesses or sell stolen stereos and TVs out of the back of it while she's at school. Make some money off of it too. I know that could never happen but it's a good idea.

It's impossible to find anything about the Presidents from the 17th century. I don't know why it's so hard to find.

If it's the series I'm thinking of then it's been around for a few years. They play it a lot around the fourth of July. It is a great series. I agree.

If the Lions take a QB first or second then having Culpepper start for a year is very smart. Let the new guy ease into the job.

How about buying the rights for Heywood Jablome stadium.

They did say that they found 20 mice stuffed in his pants.

On the news they said the plane was on autopilot up until 26 seconds before landing and that those weather conditions forbid the use of autopilot at all. IIRC.

I forgot to mention that I emailed Paypal about the scam and got an auto response. I did it again more forcefully this time and got an auto response so I gave up.

Haynesworth is going back into the draft?!

I meant in the larger scheme of things. How often do you hear about a residential plane crash only hitting one house. I never have.

That is freaking awesome!!!!!

According to the insider on Billszone he's not gonna get re-signed by Buffalo. Agreed. Maybe by people who don't watch film. Well stated, I agree.

His job is arresting people who commit crimes. Not hassling people who MIGHT commit crimes.

This is Britain but you're dead on with that. Every abstinence only person I know gets furious if I ask them if they had premarital sex. It didn't work for them but they think it will work for their kids. Ummmm, I don't think that was the problem dude. Alfies Mom is a MILF. The only pregnant girl in my school was a senior. The health ed classes did a thing where students took an egg and had to care for it like a child for a week? With only one pregnant senior maybe it worked.

Why should the league pay for body guards. These guys make more than enough to do it themselves. JMO
