Are the unemployed lazy or are employers too cheap?
LPPT replied to gpatt0n's topic in RECENT TOPICS
I think we all need each other,I think we have forgotten that. Mutual respect for each position has gone out the window. I think an employer should take pride in how he treats the people that help him grow his business. I think an employee should take pride in doing an excellent job and helping his employer to succeed. Both of these basic things have vanished. -
George Zimmerman and Trayvon Martin, murder or self defense?
LPPT replied to ihaveadog's topic in RECENT TOPICS
They now have grounds to arrest him on second degree murder after a more thorough investigation. I was surprised, I thought the most they would get him on was manslaughter. He needs to be convicted of something that will keep him from ever getting a permit to carry again. -
Does the law address contriving a situation that allows you to use the law for your own objectives?

George Zimmerman and Trayvon Martin, murder or self defense?
LPPT replied to ihaveadog's topic in RECENT TOPICS
As far as I know that is pretty close, there is a reason that profiling occurs and this is it. I have said before that Al and Jesse need to address this rather than espousing that every arrest is racially motivated, it leads one to assume their acceptance of a genetic flaw causes black men to commit more crime and the criminal justice system needs to cut them some slack. It was a shame in this case that they had to get involved, LE should have done their job instead doing the same thing they accuse Al and Jesse of, making assumptions based on race. -
George Zimmerman and Trayvon Martin, murder or self defense?
LPPT replied to ihaveadog's topic in RECENT TOPICS
When you kill someone in your vehicle you are charged with manslaughter because your actions caused the death of another person. These people had questions about how their son died, that local law enforcement could not answer because they did not even bother to investigate the case thoroughly. Exclusively blaming Martin is like blaming the driver of the other car for not getting out of the way in time to prevent his on death. The refusal to even consider that Zimmerman came out of that truck with a gun instead of a cell phone is beyond comprehension. The whole story only works if you bel -

I am pretty sure that his reference is to 2 cases of hate crimes one in SC and another in Tx. where black men were dragged behind trucks. There are years and years of atrocities that can be researched on the internet and brought up. Plenty of fuel around to ignite a firestorm for those that want one. I was very impressed with Trayvon's mother's remarks after the arrest, I don't think her intention was to ever cause racial strife, she did not want her son condemned as a punk and the entire thing swept under the rug. She ask for an investigation. She got it and the grace with which she h

George Zimmerman and Trayvon Martin, murder or self defense?
LPPT replied to ihaveadog's topic in RECENT TOPICS
I just have to ask everyone keep up with this is they noticed what occurred to me last night it is making me crazy thinking about it. The timeline that Zimmerman gave of events. Remember Zimmerman is following Martin into the alley and the dispatcher ask him if he is following Martin and he says yes, the dispatcher says we don't need you to do that, he says ok, and they always get away and hangs up. Supposedly he starts walking to his truck and claims he was reaching into his truck for his cell phone when he turns around and is confronted by Martin. What is weird is that had he just retur -
Seems to me they owe States Attorney Angela Corey $10,000, you think they will pay her.

I just wonder about the little movie playing in folks head about just how this is gonna work out when you get the monster big enough. Tell me how your little movie looks in your head. What color are the bodies in the street, how old are they. There are consequences for everything, social networking is a powerful tool and this is how it is going to get used? Just really after all these years here we are. -
George Zimmerman and Trayvon Martin, murder or self defense?
LPPT replied to ihaveadog's topic in RECENT TOPICS
I am going to be surprised if they charge him with anything, according to the stand your ground law, I don't see how they can charge him unless they came up something new with the investigation. It is pretty clear cut with the kid hitting him for whatever reason. No matter how you feel about profiling, him stalking or disobeying the request of the dispatcher. If legally he was within his rights and the law supports him you can't charge and prosecute him to shut up the protesters. Thats wrong. You work to change the laws. -
Gang Attack On Tourist Outside Baltimore Courthouse
LPPT replied to DallasRed's topic in RECENT TOPICS
You are right it is an agenda for some politicians, if we feed into it the consequences to this country could be devastating. Think about our children on both sides becoming victims of hate crimes in the schools, in the streets. We have to resist the urge to feed this monster. Yes it is hard, I become outraged when I see someone harmed because of something they have no control over, the color of their skin. We have got to control our emotions or pay a heavy price in our society. -

SM these articles are popping up all over the internet from both sides. Racism and hate crimes are everywhere, these people exist, it's ugly but for people to jump on the outrage wagon from the my race your race stance is an invitation for violence. And there we have it, the president. The black, Muslim, communist, president, just go ahead and put racist in the list. -

I don't get what you take exception to, is he supposed to ignore the very big issue or address it? The way he is addressing it is as it should be, he didn't promise anything but an investigation into an issue that many are concerned with. Hopefully his attentiveness to the subject will help minorities to have more trust in the American justice system, that is what we want right? -

Am I the only person that reads comments at the bottom of articles? It is everywhere, at the bottom of CNN reports on the Zimmerman case, on my face book and now on Paulding.com. Why do we have to these conversations about defending one's race or ethnicity? I don't defend people acting badly or injustice period. The issue at hand is very transparent, it is politically motivated and comes down to what we have been seeing for many years, the win at all cost. No matter who it hurts no matter the suffering it causes in politics any and everything goes because it is all about winning. T -
We had problems with reports from people that they could not access their pm box. All of them were using IE and could access it once they went to Firefox, are you aware of any settings that people using IE could change so they can access their PM box? We have not had any reports in a while so it may have resolved itself. Browsers change constantly with updates so it may not even be happening anymore. I use Firefox because I have not had any problems with it.

His works just never did anything for me, I am not a warm give me the fuzzies, nostalgia type person. I have some oils from the artist next door on the walls, I simply like it or I don't. I had relatives that liked and collected his work, It was because they liked it. I don't think you should collect for value, but for love of the object. I collect Capadomonte,(sp) some think it is ugly, I also have English and even Japanese pieces of flower porcelain. I think it is great that his pieces appealed to so many that they wanted to own it, that says a lot about an artist, I would never insult

They don't put out a hit, they put on a robe and wait for the sun to go down. Different styles but the objective is the same. Fear and hate, if you don't feed into it dies a lonely death, if you do feed it, it becomes an ugly uncontrollable monster.

Good grief, they deserve about as much attention as the KKK. As the saying goes birds of a feather flock together. You will always have haters and they will form groups and spout rhetoric. I saw a social networking page today that someone posted 20 hate crimes, black on white going back 10 years. My guess is someone compiled these cases on a website and I can just guess the political leanings of it. I am deeply embarrassed by the KKK, and would be even more embarrassed to see their numbers swell over this issue, give black Americans the same credit. Do we really want this, because it is no
