Pubby you are twisting the facts on how the fair tax works with the " adding 25% " comment. go back and re-read the fair tax book again, slowly, and comprehend it.

hey pubster "my first time directly addressing you" progressive income taxes are in the best of shape either with unemployment as high as it is.

Of course but do you really think the parents who do supplement the school education that their kids get won't do so with a different calendar?
As for your view on year round school ... you are exactly opposite of most people who want it for some and not for all. HS students are the ones most hindered on the job front by the year round school schedule. They are also the closest to going to a college/university schedule which is not year round. If it were to be implemented for some and not for all, I can see a much stronger argument for leaving HS out of the year round calendar.
Would you agree that a government agency "school systems" having control of your children year round, is the same as more "big" government that always requires more or higher taxes?
Oh, and by the way with the exception of a few typos I believe I turned out okay with 3 months off in the summer. How about yourself?
-
So because someone can see the benefits of year round schooling you somehow equate that with them wanting the schools to raise and teach their children?
(On that whole "teach" thing ... isn't that what the schools are supposed to do?)
absolutely the schools are supposed to teach, however that doea not give them sole responsibility to teach your, children. The parents are also responsible for teaching. I disagree with year round for the elementary and middle school age children, I believe that would be better for high school ages.
-
Don't agree. Our kids can't learn if they are not in school and this year they haven't been in school very much due to the weather. Adding days to the beginning of the year could allow extra days to be added to the calendar for these unexpected missed days. Additionally I don't want to see our local school system ruled any further by our state legislators.
I vote year round school, especially for elementary and middle school.
sounds to me that you would rather the school system raise and teach your kids, instead of yourself.

The state already has some control over local systems, with state funding which has been cut which forced local BOE's to force furloughs on the staff. In Cobb the staff is mainly the teachers, but not the "full time" employees who work at the main board office, who by the way just returned from a retreat.

Yes I will be going , to the fridge, to the bathroom, even to check in on p-com. During the Commercials.

Fair enough, what was the outcome of the Indy drivers refusal to race at Texas?
-
McM I would bet that if you took the plates off the cars and change NOTHING else, they would spread out and would be able to pass like they do on smaller tracks. My biggest complaint is not just the boring racing, or the fact that a driver can run 43rd all day then run to the front near the end of the race, but the fact that someone will die be it driver or fan, because when one car wrecks it takes out too many cars because they are too close together. What type of race was Earnhardt Sr. killed in? how may upside down cars have there been in the last 2 dega races?
-
McM I disagree, I do not recall the cars bunched together before plates were implemented. Remember when Elliot came back from a lap down at Dega, the hardway by driving around the leader and then catching the leader and passing him again for the lead? the cars were spread all over the track again before plates, Also Elliot set the 212 mph record before plates at Dega. If nascar is afraid of the cars going to fast, then they should send the cars thru the infield portion of the track facilities like the grand am cars and motorcycles do.
-
I wished that was me in the pic, Its Kasey Kahne
must be nice
-
from the looks of the photo, you guys have been partying already. Question, when will nascar remove the plates and let the fans have a real race to watch instead of the boring 43 cars under a blanket?

Let's hope she doesn't blame all her wrecks on everyone else, the john paul monty does.

There is going to be a senior living center behind and to the side of Wal-Mart and......................................
..........................another Ingles. Yes, you heard it, another Ingles. Right smack next door to the Wal-mart. Hope they
do good.
Maybe since they are going to be located near the monorail that will bring more business to the area. It will be amazing once the next high tech train system is in full swing. You can go down Thornton Road and see one of the "surface stations" on the left before Humphries Hill Road.
The monorail surface station you are refering to is actually a MAG-LEV "magnetic-levitation test facility. You can see pictures of it on google earth.

Funny how raising taxes is always the answer. How about cutting government spending? Downsize the government. Eliminate about half the jobs and we could see our property taxes lowered.
You got that right, maybe Sonny and all of our state senate and house should take a pay cut first

So the airport, a national award winning industrial park project plan, 50+ acres added to Industrial Park North, 3 new office/industrial parks in development or in construction stages, and one of metro Atlanta's largest commercial developers currently looking for large tracts of land IN Paulding County to build something the size of Wildwood Office park, a complete lack of understanding of what needs to be done to bring industry to Paulding? Plus a major expansion of higher education? Come on surepip, you have got to do better then that! What more do you want?
Granted, we are not where we need to be as far as jobs and job growth, but look back at how things were 10 years ago? Major progress has been made in this County, but no one wants to give the proper people any credit for doing so.
I'm not taking up for or cutting prior administrations of this County, but for 50 years this County has been turning away industrial development. Only in the last 8 years has that been changing, and it may be another 8 years before we see any major improvements. Maybe longer with current economic conditions.
On top of all that, the largest green space preservation deal to happen in the US in years.
The groundwork has been laid so that this County CAN grow. There is so much going on right now on many different levels, it just amazes me! I have high expectations that David Austin will do great things for our County. Changes are being made. Only time will tell if it was for the good or made matters worst! But he is only one man. It takes a community to make any real changes! We ALL must do our part.
D-Dawg you must have friends in high places, or you have a money tree in your backyard. Just exactly how much did you property taxes increase last year? Mine as most paulding residents were burdened with the largest tax increase in history approx. 27.2% . As for the largest green space issue the voters of paulding aked for it, I wouldn't give the old BOC so much credit for that.

didn't live there but for a few hours.. my birthplace
Just a 30 minute drive to Cape san Blas, which was voted # 1 beach by Dr. Beach, a couple of years ago.My family and I go there every summer we love it there, it is quiet, family oriented, and not very crowded. You might stop to eat @ Toucan's world famous restaurant, as you drive throgh Mexico Beach.
