  1. In the military, we are trained to react and kill if the situation dictates. I would have no problem killing someone who is trying to hurt my buddies.

     

    In the case of the death penalty, we KNOW this person killed another, usually in cold blood. What is the difference?

     

    War and the death penalty are very different, but the results are the same. Both involve "bad guys" that need to be eliminated.

     

    The wastes of flesh who killed those lovely and intelligent college girls at UNC and Auburn need to be executed, but I have a feeling that 1) that won't ever happen or 2) it will take 15 years to get to that point. I don't care if the Lauren Birk's murderer was possibly crazy from his time in Iraq. Doesn't matter. He needs to die for his crime.

  2. The wife and kid go to the Silver Comet Trail, Ben Strickland (aka the Ducky Park), and Homer Leggett (aka Choo-Choo train park). I go when I'm not working. Or on pcom.

  3. Suffer for the rest of your days in prison or die and get it over with? I think it's a good choice. I'll pay.

    The average inmate costs around $20K annually for their essentials. Inmates over 60 cost on average $70K a year.

     

    Hmmm. $70K annually would pay for almost 2 teachers or police officers. All this just to keep someone who took a life alive? Ironic.

     

    I understand that anti-death penalty people believe what they believe, as is their right. Human lives are important, but these people lost their right to be called a human. They will do nothing good for society, unless you count making license plates, belts, or other small items important.

     

    The death penalty is better than what I would do to the convicted murders (especially murderers of children and mothers). Lets just say we'd never have a hard time finding organ donors or blood for the Red Cross. We wouldn't have to test products on rabbits or mice either.

  4. R.I.P. Liz Jacobson and each of those who I carried a casket or proudly saluted, and all those I never had the privilege to meet.

    Liz has a great family, especially her grandmother. Liz was the first female Air Force cop killed in action. Her site is maintained by SrA Brian Kolfage, who was badly wounded and is medically retired.

  5. Those are good stories. It is neat to think about how people ended up here as near neighbors.

     

    Funny that you mention the family coming from England and settling here before moving west. My family did the same thing; according to family records, we came here on the Goodship Paul, supposedly the 3rd ship over. The family lived in Virginina and Georgia (mixing with the Cherokees a bit), before moving to Kansas and other parts of the midwest (including Indiana and Illinois). They all ended up in California in the early 20th century. And now, I live in the same state where my family was somewhere between 250-400 years ago.

  6. I had a dream I was eating a marshmellow, and woke to find my pillow was gone.

     

    Couldn't resist.

     

    I did have a dream once where I was in my car (I was working for Dominos Pizza about a decade ago), and headed out into and intersection on a green light, like normal. But someone ran the red and t-boned me. Must have been a year later when I pulled up to an intersection, and had the strange feeling of deja-vu. I decided to wait a few seconds before heading into the intersection when the light turned green, and lo and behold, a truck went through on the red. I seriously had to pull over a take a breather.

     

    Hand to G-d, that is the truth.

  7. I'm interested in hearing people's stories...how do people make it in today's world? What do you do, where did you go to school, why do you live in Paulding, what makes you succeed in one way or another?

     

    I'm not asking for specifics, but I'd really like to know what makes you successful.

     

    I'll start...I've been a little bit of a wanderer for about 7 years. I got ticked off with my hometown (southern Californiia), moved to Washington State to live with a friend, where I decided to join the military. After a tour in the Air Force, I got out after stupidly accepting an ROTC assignment (bad, bad choice), spent 3 months unemployed, and luckly found a decent, if not fulfilling, job in Atlanta. During all this, I split up with, got back together and married my high school sweetheart, and had a beautiful daughter (now 3). We have a nice, if not lavish, home in a place I really like, and I hope to stay a while, but I know that I have to follow the jobs.

     

    I'm about a dozen classes away from my degree, mostly because I literally have been in 7 colleges. I just can't make up my mind on what I want to do with my life. I'm a hard worker, but at the same time I'm a joker, and I keep things light at work.

     

    There is my bit, what about you?

  8. At least your premiums aren't going up 26%. I can't figure out how we low middle classers are going to make it. I'm thinking about going back in the military. At least we didn't have to worry about paying for medical insurance...

  9. Anyone know of any good campsites either on the GA Atlantic Coast or on the Gulf? I'd love to take the family camping on the beach sometime this summer. It is way too expensive to fly (I know, car transportation isn't much better!) but I'd like to go somewhere.

     

    If anyone has a vacation home to rent for a weekend on the coast, I'd potentially be interested in that, depending on the cost.

  10. Tow, I just call it like I see it. I don't give a rat's a__ about anyone's feelings but my wife's and my son's. Everyone else that matters is either gone from this place or know's me well enough to know I don't give a __t!!

    By the way......when this is all over.......bring your signs to my house and we'll have a huge bonfire.........let that non-speller bring his signs too.....we can possibly burn a forrest down.

     

    Right on.
