• This Graph Shows Which Areas in The U.S. Have the Highest Concentration of STDs (In Case You Were Wondering)

  December 31, 2012 at 7:43am

  I also am suspicious of this information’s presentation format. I mean, why do it by region? Whose idea was that? Memphis wins, with Wisconsin coming in almost a second for most of the STD’s. To look at the graphs, California is free and clear (being in white), although that is NOT the case. I would like to see this data presented in different formats and without the “underage” data of congenital cases. Can’t we see the data as it pertains to adults? I’m not sure I can take anything meaningful from this report.

• A Look at the Uniform and the Weapons Used by the Conn. School Shooter

  I have to admit that the thought did cross my mind right off. I, however, cannot bring myself to sink low enough to actually believe something is happening in the background to “cause” what appears to be “coincidences.”

  I do, however, firmly believe that with each mass shooting, our federal government, the liberal left, and the main stream media are all getting better prepared to “react” in a more effective, concerted manner and therefore attempt to gently (or abruptly) lead the massive numbers of low information voters to a desired conclusion. After a few more of these incidents, those voters will be clamoring for this desired conclusion to be enacted and enforced.

  I’m still sitting here in shock that our “esteemed” leader is actually participating in a memorial event that is pre-empting FOX Sunday Night show lineup. Oooooooo-weeeeeee! I don’t think his younger voting crowd will appreciate this one. Attention span of that group has been stretched to the limit with coverage on this and the immediate gratification requirement for their Sunday night viewing is now being hindered. Talk about a major screw up on our leader’s part! I wonder if his ears are burning, this evening? I think his handlers may have finally taken a misstep.

  Wouldn’t do any good to know if he was on any drugs. It’s not politically correct to attack medications. Guns ARE the politically correct connection and causation. He could be crazy-looney, high on 5 meds, but (theoretically) as long as he does not have a gun…..we are all safe! Of course.

  Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh….asking the wrong questions, JALICE. Careful. People tend to connect the dots if the dots are presented.

  There is no way to guarantee this will never happen again. Agreeing or disagreeing with you has nothing whatsoever to do with it. An adult could kill 20 children with their bare hands if they were driven by their evil—sorry, antisocial or whatever politically correct term you choose to use—motive to do so.
  My responses are not angry, nor are they knee-jerk responses. I haven’t already come out on the main stream media calling for an immediate reaction involving better gun control, etc.

  I am absolutely in shock tonight! I subbed at an elementary today without watching/hearing the news before going. I didn’t check in on any radio news since getting home until about an hour ago. This happened today and yet we have already had an ever-so-compassionate response by our commander in chief and I’ve already seen evidence of an expose’ on tv about today’s events. Incredible! I’m still waiting on the same regarding the Benghazi incident.

  No doubt gun control will be the focus of our news outlets for the next few weeks, or more. I don’t think I can bear to turn the radio on for a month or more, now.

  Yes, it is yet another tragedy. There is no safe, truly safe place in this world. Homeschooling isn’t even the complete answer. I hear about home invasion deaths constantly in the KC area, so I wouldn’t consider homeschooling any safer than a school building WITH security measures in place. At least they are “supposedly” prepared for and trying to anticipate and prevent such an incident.

  This shooter had a reason for doing this. We may never know what it was. It probably didn’t even make sense or have a connection to anything in reality, but he had a reason. No one can be completely prepared for such a driving behavior. I know one thing only about this causation: The GUNS did not jump into the young man’s hands, cause him to shoot his own mother, drag him to that school, cause him to shoot the adults and children, or cause him to shoot

  Not a thing in the world! You know, it’s a little-known fact that EVEN PARENTS can have and state an opinion about their children. The kids don’t have a monopoly on opinions about the parents. It’s very hard to state what this man did toward his children. At the very same time, whether he realizes it or not, he is also acknowledging he may be part of the cause. That’s hard to think about and know in your heart…and even tougher to state aloud.

  I wonder if that will be a self pity type of book. You know, a see-how-my-dad-treats-me? kind of book. Just curious. I could be wrong. It could be the kind of book in which she thanks her dad for setting her straight so she could start her life, finally, in a more beneficial direction.

  Slap your mother?! Now there’s an adult-like, respectful reaction. There’s nothing wrong with working for peanuts!!!! I’d be thrilled if 2 of my kids would work steady for any amount of money!!!!!! I can think of no occasion that I would feel justified to slap my mother. I would not feel comfortable slapping an elder of any kind. I wasn’t brought up that way. Sorry.

  You hit the nail on the head, there: if allowed. Grandparents can be so limited in these matters. Yea, we can go in, clean up what we can, supply their clothing, school needs, and perhaps some extras, but the very act of doing that assists—enables—the parent(s) to continue on as they were. The children learn to disregard the parents, learn to play the parents against the grandparents (and visa versa), and will never learn what a family hierarchy is “supposed” to be like. Many of these parents even take offense at any offerings of assistance, direction, suggestions to the point of refusing to let the grandchildren receive what is offered/given…and give the children the idea that the grandparents are trying to “take them away.” Hey, I’ve been there. You just have to back off…for the good of the children you are attempting to help. It’s a really tricky kind of relationship.
