There has been a lot of criticism of Sam over the years. He holds a political position and it comes with the territory. There has been a lot of issue over the last few years over the amount of money he takes in. He is the coroner and some folks feel there is some conflict being a coroner and having a funeral home, yet everyone that has run against him has been in the funeral business. He is a very trusting man nobody will argue that. He is a very decent and caring person. Sam has helped a lot of folks over the years, I personally know more than a handful that he was there for when nobody

Another amazing fact is that it is a small minority of abused kids go on to abuse their own children. When you talk to siblings you sometimes think they were raised by different parents.

True, that is one of the expressions, there are a long list of others. Generally they react in a way that make people go hmmm?

Most abused children don't apply the word abused to their situation. For the dynamic to work it has to be the child's fault. The child is bad and causing the parent to "punish them" The child will act out at school and sometimes in the homes of friends and relatives. The child is generally confused about appropriate behavior because there is no appropriate behavior in the home, everything is an excuse for the parent to lash out at the child.

Should we aggravate you more so you can get out? GET IT ALLLLL OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just because someone is fragile, elderly, or sick does not give them a pass. Damaged and hurt people have no obligation to love or care for someone that has abused them. Forgiveness is for the abused only so they can move on. The obituary may have been cathartic for them, they have the right to do what ever is necessary to help heal themselves. She even took away their right to grieve for her. You can't know how devastating that is unless you have lived it. It served another purpose in that they didn't want condolences and did not want to explain to people why not. They lived a li

Should we trust the rebels backed by Al Qaeda? The claim they have no leader. They want to form a government on the Koran. Just how safe do you think the 450,000 Christians living there will be. I am pretty sure should Al Qaeda get their hands on the chemical weapons their first target would be Israel. That would be while they are shipping the rest to Afghanistan, Egypt and the Philippines. Seems to me there is a lot of confusion about what side should be backed. I envision shipments all over the world being strategically hidden. Make the first attack and threaten with the rest. Fran

No, we can't allow Al Qaeda to get their hands on chemical weapons. There is no doubt that they will use them and we would be responsible for the death of millions. I won't be part of the people that stand up against this. We should stop at nothing to destroy those weapons before Syria falls apart under this civil war and they simply load them up and drive away with enough chemical weapons to kill millions of innocent people in the name of Allah. All I was thinking about was how much I personally hated that we are constantly at war with those savages, the lives that have been lost, I hate

Well I have done a complete about face on this issue. It is in the best interest of our troops in Afghanistan and any place in the world that Al Qaeda supports radical Islam. We can not risk them falling in the hands of the rebels, that are being backed by Al Qaeda. If they were to fall into their hands they would quickly ship them to every militant group in the world. We forget sometimes how many countries are fighting these radicals. They need to be destroyed as quickly as possible. We need to show support of this. The American people are undermining those that understand that situati

I think some decisions are made in advance. What we do if. What do we do if someone fires a nuclear device? What do we do if someone uses chemical weapons? I think this situation is one of them. I will be pleased if we end up not doing anything. I believe that this was one of those. Many people feel that using chemical weapons should not be tolerated. Not just here but all over the world. They feel the same about nuclear weapons. If diplomacy works we can be thankful.

We will have to agree to disagree on this one. There is a lot of secrecy when it comes to our foreign intelligence. It is not and should not be transparent. I was a little appalled at an article last week that described our denseness headed to the gulf. Way too much detail. There is a reason Benghazi was dropped. Parisian politics are all fun and games until it comes to national security. Mr.Obama did not approve the sell of chemical weapons over there but he does have to deal with the fallout. All the super powers have them in their arsenals. Nobody would dare ask us to destroy ours. We

I assume the line was I am going to blow you up with or without the permission of congress for using them period. He probably would have too without the stance of Russia and China. There are different ways of looking at it, he may have had all the evidence he needed even to get the support of congress. He could show congress the evidence, but not the UN or other countries without exposing how we acquire our intelligence. I believe he meant exactly what he said, he was going to send missiles to targets, he was not bluffing. We may never know if Kerry's face saving remark was planned fro

I am pretty sure they have a few messages that are the answer to either concern, they have aides answer the emails using one or the other.

Maybe this site is wrong. http://www.dol.gov/whd/minwage/america.htm#Georgia

No I want them to hire at least 80% of their workforce full time. I want to stop rewarding them for their business model, it is bad for the over all economy. Minimum wage is going to be raised over the next 2 years until it reaches 10.00 and hour 1/2 of the agreed upon living wage of 20.00 an hour. If people had been getting regular cost of living wages over the last 10 years they would not worry about paying 2.00 for a burger instead of 1.00. Cheap fast food is not an entitlement.

That was the issue all along, the government claiming they did not do it. There has been no proof. The government is being held accountable to prove it. There is no proof that the rebels do have it or if they plan to use it on Israel it is speculation. Would the rebels attack Israel if they could? probably. The issue is who has it and who used it, Russia's point was they believed the rebels were more likely to have used it. They did not want to see the government attacked fearing that the rebels were more dangerous than the regime. Kerry came up with the idea of them turning over wha

Still getting your news from Fox I see. That has to be the twist their half baked political analyst put on it.

I don't consider them a credible news source. They are claiming that it was the rebels that killed people with chemical weapons and are preparing to launch what they have at Israel. If this were true and they had proof, the credible new sights would have it. Take the time to read the comments at the bottom of many of the stories see what you think.

The number of $15.00 an hour came from a group in NY city protesting. The cost of living in NY city is very high. 20 years ago they were making 9.00 an hr. The cost of living has increased there like every where else. It seems extreme to us, I wonder what they think of the Georgia minimum wage for part time being 5.25 an hour. I will add this, federal taxes are federal taxes no matter where you live they are the same. If a ff worker that is basically living at the poverty level in NY makes above a certain amount they pay federal taxes, those taxes in turn are redistributed and pay for th

Well he did leave Obama to bail out a battle ship with a tea cup. All the money was spent on homeland security and the war. See if the accusations weren't so blind I could find some middle ground. He ask congress, nothing has been declared. He made it clear they would not get away with it. He sent a strong message America's partisan politics are not going to interfere with us dealing with you. That is very strong message, they heard it. A may very well be what stops them when you add the stance of the Arabs and Russians. You know as well as I do that is all these people understand.

I know I shouldn't be amused by his wife suing for his life insurance policy in the divorce, it was his own fault he made it so valuable. :ninja:

Jimmy did not create predatory lending. Predators by definition prey on the weaker.

Everything that is wrong as far as you are concerned has to do with this administration. I saw the sharp decline begin after 9/11 that was a completely different administration we had for 8 years. An administration that didn't do jack about the healthcare crisis, they were to busy making sure that every American could buy a home. A direct quote by the way from that oh soo wonderful leader of the administration. You views fly with those that narrowly select who and where they get their information from. Not me, that little quote is as fresh in my mind as the day I watched him make it in a s

I was never supportive of many of the things Bush did after 9/11. I felt a lot of it was knee jerk reaction to a public that wanted something done to sooth their fears and quite honestly their need for revenge on the people that attacked us. I would cringe every time I heard the billions of dollars being spent on homeland security with taxes at historic lows. I was a lifelong Republican until Bush. Now I just judge things I see for myself. It does not make me popular. Right now I am fuming about some fringe website showing up under my google feed under most popular. http://rt.com/

Looks like we have resolution, Thank God our men and women will not be in harms way over this. Syria 'Welcomes' Russian Call to Give Up Chemical Weapons Mr. Kerry said Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's government could prevent U.S. military action in response to what the U.S. said was a chemical-weapons attack on Aug. 21 by handing its chemical weapons to the international community. Syria has denied using chemical weapons and blamed Syrian rebels for the attack. On Monday, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov of Russia, one of the strongest supporters of the Assad regime, urged Syria t
