TalkBack for Nov. 28 11/27/2009 11:43 PM Use headlights
I must caution Aiken drivers to turn their vehicle headlights on. If you drive in the early cloudy/sunlit morning hours, the early twilight evening hours or in any rain, turn your headlights on. In the middle of the night, it is easy to know you need to have your headlights on. Other times, it takes a more safety-conscious attitude.
Credit cards
The great defender of credit card companies must be unaware that people relying on credit cards to seek medical care file the most bankruptcies. They must seek medical care or die.
Drug busts
Why are there no drug busts in the Wagener trailer parks? The cops know about it but don't do anything.
More parking
If the downtown parking area is increased, the employees will just take it over. Stickers should be given to those who are shopping.
Catholic bishop
As a Catholic for Christ, I must speak out against the bishop in Rhode Island. They are Judas priests. They don't care about the unborn but are silent to the suffering of the already born and the violations against them. They need this for their false holy appearance.
Fort Hood attack
Why is the government so against saying the attack at Fort Hood was a terrorist, but if it were to involve a right-wing extremist it is always a terrorist attack?
Tattoos
There are no tattoo parlors around the north side of Aiken and look at the bad element attracted there. So what is the problem with a tattoo parlor again? As far as your neighbors having a tattoo, I have two - an angel on my shoulder and the Star of Life on my leg to remind me that I am dedicated to saving lives, even those who are narrow minded. Before you judge people with a tattoo, remember they are good people who work hard and contribute to society, probably more than you think.

Comment Title: I'm sorry
I've just realized that I am a pathetic human being, and I must repent for my actions and comments towards others. Please, Lord, spare me. I have seen the evil of my ways and I promise to change. Praise Jesus

It not so much if YOU can see an 18 wheeler, but can the 18 wheeler see you? With your attitude I am sure your death would come as a blessing to someone. I just hope you don't waste too much of the taxpayers money with a slow,lingering demise.

Comment Title: Headlights
To the stupid individul that stated "You worry about your headlights and I'll worry about mine". This just shows how you do not care about other peoples safety. Get real and turn on your lights when reguired. If you don't know when it's required,stop driving or read your drivers manual.

You'll be wishing we worried about your headlights when someone slams into you because you didn't have them on and they couldn't see you.

Safety is a state of mind, an ounce of prevention, is worth a ton of regret.

The Baron does not fall under the above definition for one reason--he gives the rest of us cause to think. You gotta give the divil his due. Thanks for the reference to Ayn. She was good at diatribes, too, pages and pages of them.

Comment Title: Baron von Richtofen Flies Again
Here we go again...another comment from some chauvinist jerk with a superiority complex. Hey, Baron, just so you'll know before you reveal your ignorance again (and your Neo Nazi plans for humanity), teachers work from 7:00 to 5:00 during the regular day, with perhaps a half hour to grab a cup of coffee and RUN to the restroom; we're up half the night planning lessons and grading papers, planning field trips for kids who have never seen anything but their front yard, sponsoring clubs and athletic events in the afternoons and on weekends, and let's not forget daily lunch duty, the personal money we spend on classroom supplies, or the grants we have to write to fund any extra activities that benefit our students. Contrary to popular belief, we do NOT even receive paid vacations: our base salaries (which we do not include compensation for extensive overtime) do not include any vacation or holiday pay and are split into 12 increments, so that it APPEARS we are paid over the summer. Guess what else, Mr. Know-It-All? A teacher's (unpaid) summer is only about 5 weeks after we take classes and serve on committees. After 22 years of service there are no salary increases and then there is the ever-present joy of dealing with intolerance and ignorance like your own.
Who taught you to read? Who helped you learn your alphabet, or your multiplication tables? I guess you are one of those individuals who learn magically, or maybe you're just so superior that you acquire knowledge by osmosis.
Here's a tip: put on your red cape and go fly a plane in your dreams. Better yet, come do my job for a week; you wouldn't make it: "You can't handle the truth," or even the workload!
What's YOUR solution? Oh, yes, close the schools and teach the kids at home. Well, if you were a model of any form of "education," GOD help us. We teachers make a difference in real peoples' lives; what do YOU make? NO SENSE!
Get an imagination and go find the Reich, you petty little creep.

Comment Title: RE: The Baron
Do you honestly believe that everyone without health insurance is in their current position because they made "poor choices"? We're in a recession, people are losing their jobs and not everyone is fortunate enough to have that to fall back on right now. And by extension, do you believe everyone who has money deserves it and earned it? Because that's pretty ludicrous as well. The problem with this pseudo-philosophical Randian garbage is that it operates under the assumption that the richest people in America are also all "innovators" and "entrepreneurs", whereas everyone is just lazy and uninspired. The fact of the matter is, success is at least partially due to being in the right place at the right time (the amount of influence this has is greatly increased by how "successful" we're talking about being). For every computer programmer making a decent living, there's a guy coding at home that can't get a decent job, a basketball player making more than both of them combined, and some punk kid living off of his daddy's fortune. So much for social Darwinism.

People who rely on credit cards to seek medical care have obviously made a lot of poor choices in their lives. America would be better off if some social Darwinism took place and they died and helped clean up America from so many tax takers..
