• Shocking: S. Carolina School Officials Filmed Slapping, Shoving Special Needs Student

  May 2, 2012 at 2:32pm

  In reply to the_zazzy.

  @johnjamison- Unfortunately, most school districts look at special ed kids as cash cows to fund everything else because they get funded about 100x what a regular student do. So when you say you’d drive them yourself, you have to realize that the district will pull every string, rule, and minutia out to try and stop you from being ABLE to do that.

• Seattle May Day Protest Turns Into Black Bloc Gone Wild

  May 2, 2012 at 2:14am

  If the vast majority are there peacefully, why aren’t they being a citizen and stopping those that are vandalizing and attacking people and property?
  Oh wait! Sheeple don’t do anything for community good, and are too involved with their own welfare (Bodily, and check).
  I live in Washington state, and Seatle is a bunch of hipsters that wouldn’t wipe their tushies in the bathroom if they were told it was good.
  And of course it’s just an excuse to tramp peoples liberty, because no one is willing to stand up to these punks that aren’t being peaceful.
  Phoenix Jones is a hero, and a great citizen.

• BYU Hawaii’s First Non-Mormon Student President Credits Mormons for Making Him a Better Muslim

  In reply to DogTags.

  Dogtags- I doubt you will listen, but I have a scripture to share with you from John chapter 10:
  32 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?
  33 The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.
  34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?(Ps. 82: 6)
  35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;
  36 Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son OF God?
  37 If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.
  38 But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him.
  So, the doctrine which you seem to find MOST objectionable was actually taught to the Pharisees; By Jesus Christ, and they said the same thing you are and tried to stone him for it. It seems to me, that is worth pondering.

• BYU Administrator: ‘It Gets Better’ Video on Homosexuality Isn‘t a Violation of the School’s Honor Code

  April 11, 2012 at 2:18am

  I’m so glad that this is a topic that is being discussed! I know that our spirits in our pre-mortal life(Before you were born on earth) had experiences that shaped all of us differently, and we have gifts, qualities, likes, and dislikes that are completely unique to each of us! Just being different doesn’t make you bad, it makes you special. There is a reason(and a purpose) you are the way you are but we also know that God gives us commandments and laws not to make us sad, but to protect us and lead us to true happiness. So accept who you are, forget to worry about yourself, endure to the end, and serve the Lord and you’ll find your purpose!(And along the way you‘ll find out why you’re you.)
  Much love. Give people a chance to help you live up to your potential, and strengthen your resolve to be a disciple of Jesus Christ, or a Saint as the apostle Paul would say.

  This is doctrine that has been taught in the church for a long time. But many people in the church do not take the time to find it, or just don’t think it through. Thoughts are not instantly sinful, unless you give them place to remain, because they WILL lead to action(Lust, fornication, or whatever the case may be). But if you are attracted to the same gender, and commit to and live the law of chastity, you are under no condemnation. It’s pretty simple.

• Would You Give Up Health Insurance All Together to Uphold Your Religious Beliefs?

  March 20, 2012 at 5:19pm

  In reply to vaman.

  So because you think she’s stupid, it’s ok to try and take away her (and our) rights? We‘ll see who’s crying when/if these laws and rules stand because it could be just as easily turned on you, and your belief that you should have, for example, a prostate exam which could be deemed elective if you don’t meet their standard criteria.
  This is a slippery slope and dupes and useful idiots are the grease that the administration is using.

• Romney Secures Double-Digit Win in Washington State GOP Caucuses

  March 4, 2012 at 4:04am

  In reply to OHN.

  We can’t have someone too incompetent, otherwise they will be left holding the bag of poop that Obama will toss in their lap on his way to his permanent vacation, and be unable to get out from under it and take care of it.

• Romney Secures Double-Digit Win in Washington State GOP Caucuses

  March 4, 2012 at 3:45am

  I am in Washington State, in a Benton county, and the caucus website advised people to be there at least a half hour early to make it into the caucus, and if you knew your precinct number you could get right in… WRONG! An estimated thousand people were turned away, because they could get through “registration”(basically they were checking EVERYONE’S photo ID, and looking up the precinct regardless of whether you knew your number or not(even with a voters registration card)… on top of all that, their were two rooms, and you had to figure out which room your precinct number was in, and then numbering on the tables was supposed to be in order to ease confusion… WRONG AGAIN… People were still walking around looking for their precinct after getting past “registration” and couldn’t find their precincts as voting finished! (They said they weren’t expecting such a big turnout. It should have been apparent; since there is no official primary this year in Washington due to budget constraints, which seems illegal too, since we have a law that only 2 candidates from primary move to general election. And each parties(R,D,I,Green,Socialist,ect) caucus will send their own candidates to general this way) DO WE REALLY WANT THESE PEOPLE TRYING TO FIX OUR GOVERNMENT!?!?!
  I did notice that a disproportionate number of the Chairs and organizers that organized it had Romney stickers and pins… but I’m sure that all is just coincidence, and this was a completely isolated occurrenc

• Ron Paul on Romney Collusion Theory: Santorum‘s ’Super Involved in Conspiracy Theories’

  February 29, 2012 at 5:08am

  In reply to CatB.

  It’s a non-issue. The fact that Paul has little; if anything, to gain from defeating Romney at this point couldn’t have ANYTHING… I mean nothing to do with the fact he doesn’t care to engage Romney the way he does candidates(Newt, Rick) that are pulling voters that would actually vote for him(Paul) instead of the GOP sheople.(you know the ones that would vote for a turnip on a stick if the GOP elites and pundits said it was the only candidate that COULD win.) Which is apparent since Romney is a GOP version of Pres. Obama.

• ‘The Top Part of My Lip Here Was Gone’: TV Anchor Recalls On-Air Dog Bite

  February 25, 2012 at 3:24am

  I‘m so glad she’s okay. Physically I think she’ll look great again; reminds me of Dianne Sayer with a little lip thing. I‘m glad she was understanding that the dog didn’t really hurt her on purpose, just acted on instinct and it was unfortunate, but I‘m glad it didn’t get destroyed for it.

  Hope for all the best for her.:)
