Has nothing to do with the HOA but the City of Hiram. The City made the change and everybody has to follow it. As for the HOA, I am glad there are HOAs to protect the value of everybody's property. The uniform rules mean higher values. Everybody has their own ideas. Like them, fine. Don't like, fine. Everybody is different.

Nope. You really need to contact an attorney to get educated on the law in these matters. Suit yourself and believe as you wish.

I won't go into more detail, but someone told you wrong. Regional does not play.

Really, who cares? Everyone knows Clark Ambulance has problems with its staff, its billing, its everything. The staff at Clark is known as being "less than stellar" in their qualifications and their function. Their billing is, well, "questionable" and they are under investigation for it. This is nothing new. Everyone knows it. Who cares? Really. Who cares? The Feds will handle the Medicare Fraud and the state will handle the other billing problems. Regional will handle the rest of the stuff. Let the process work. Going over it and over it does nothing but keep people pissed off.

If you don't believe the facts, that is your right. Your world. You create the reality in it. I posted the information. You are free to do with it as you wish.

Down from the highs in the 80s and 90s. Rates vary from year to year but the trend is downward. This part of the conversation began when somebody said corporal punishment was stopped and look how bad things have become. I said crime rates are down since corporal punishment was all but stopped in the 70s and 80s. I'm not arguing cause and effect. I'm saying that "how bad things are" is relative to the topic at hand since crime rates are down.

That has to do with location and the low population density, not the rate of crime.

Are you saying the FBI stats are wrong?

100% right.

FBI says crime rates are down, too. http://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/ucr/crime-in-the-u.s/2011/crime-in-the-u.s.-2011/tables/table-1

You two might want to start reading some.

Use Google and search for "crime rate in US down."

Crime rates are down but there are too few prisons due to the War on Drugs that is just as archaic.

Are you saying it is not working? Since crime rates are down, I would say it has made society safer.

It does happen. And most systems just don't do it any more because it opens up the system to lawsuits from injuries.

Paddling is legal in GA and in other states. Injury that results from the paddling is lawsuit material. Following the law about zero tolerance to handle a weapon on a school campus means the school cannot be sued since it did exactly what the law said, and the student violated the law.

Beating children is not the answer.

The school being violent doesn't give a good example of non-violence. The research has been settled on this for 50 years.

Paddling kids doesn't work. It is too easily abused. It invites lawsuits from injury. The original zero tolerance laws were passed as knee jerk reactions just like so many other laws. They came about the same time the Three Strikes Laws were coming of age. Again, the school has no choice. Should they? Well, maybe. Until a "we'll look the other way" incident and that kid later on kills somebody.

Missed it. Didn't even see that post. It's been like this for 20 years. There is no discretion.

Still cheaper than buying in the brick and mortar stores.

Where did you ask me to point it out the first time? I said there was no discretion for the school You keep saying they should have it. I explained the law doesn't give discretion to the school but the police and the DA do have discretion. The law has been like this for 20 years.

Since 1994. Federal money can be withheld if the school doesn't follow the law. The state law says there is no discretion.

The school has no discretion or it risks losing federal funding. The school has immunity from any lawsuit since it was only following the law passed in the state. The DA has the discretion of what to do with it as with any other case. This has been the law for nearly 20 years and every year someone pitches a fit about it but the law has not been changed.

No, they do not.
