When kbmt12 originally reported this, they had a pretty ridiculous typo in the first sentence of the report, which I found quite ironic. I have to figure out how to post pics with the new setup and I'll post a screenshot.

You've only experienced it from the left because no matter what someone from the right puts on this site, all righties immediately embrace it as fact and see no reason to criticize it. Some of the righties on here criticize lefties all the time, and yes some of the lefties do the same to the right. But righties outnumber lefties probably 25-1 on here, which is why I say it comes from that direction much more. So in that, at least, you and I are in agreement.

I was a member of HFC in high school, and it's a great program. I'm all for separation of church and state, but also for the freedom for students to worship. I think in this case their is probably a realistic gripe just in the fact that there's no way a 3rd grader is organizing their events. Which means a teacher is, made all the more obvious by the fact that their FB page has promoted the events. This is in fact unconstitutional as it is then sponsored by the school. The district has probably done the right thing by cutting the FB page, and if they take steps to find a way to ensure that the school is not promoting it, there should not be any more problems.

I don't think I'd qualify as a spelling Nazi. However, I would be lying if I said I didn't roll my eyes when one of the "commoners" on here goes on a rant about how stupid the "libtards" are, all the while completely oblivious to a clear grammar error, improper use of a word (their/there/they're, to/too/two, etc), or bad misspelling that's not an obvious smartphone autocorrect. There is the occasional liberal on here guilty of the same thing, but based simply on numbers it's not nearly as prevalent.

I know that eventually this will get out of hand and probably get locked eventually, but we haven't had a good church/school debate in awhile.  What are your thoughts with Hawks For Christ, the threatened lawsuit against them, and HJ's actions that have been taken.

Sure. Both presidents did poor jobs, but both were given way to much credit for destroying the country from the opposing party.

send him to jail. period. don't let him plead it way down to some weak misdemeanor and probation. let him at least serve a couple of months. it's a life lesson he needs now. the kind of kid who would do something like this to a teacher is the same kind of kid who would shoot a clerk during a robbery (just my opinion). He has no respect for other people.

and all that being said in the previous post, you're still doing what the original poster did... giving WAY too much credit to how things were when Obama took over, and being way too overdramatic about how bad things actually are now.

only conservative Christians and those who share their viewpoints love 'Murica. Yeah, I get it. But seriously, too often conservative Christians confuse conservative Christian values with "American values". Sorry, but the two are not exclusively linked.

He made an allusion that implied that the country was perfect at the start of Obama's presidency, and is now a barren wasteland. My point in its entirety being that neither one of these is anywhere close to accurate.

you were there and know the true story? if not, then explain how you know it was an inaccurate headline, and also how you know she's using sexual orientation to gain leverage in a money grab. I'm not saying you're wrong, just curious how you seem to know so much about the situation.

Huh? This really doesn't make sense to me. A) your analogy would make it seem that our country was in perfect shape when Obama came into office, which it was not (I'd have a hard time saying it was even in decent shape). B ) your analogy would make it seem that our country is in terrible shape now, which again it isn't. I don't think Obama has been good for our country, but that doesn't change the fact that things weren't good already when he took over, or the fact that all of the predictions that he was going to destroy our country aren't accurate either.

I have no issues with marijuana being legalized, as it's no worse than alcohol. But I do have a problem with it being bought with food stamps, loophole or not.

The problem being if it came out, it was going to be a big deal. At least he was able to do it on his own terms.

Shovel is right about Sam being undersized for his position, but he's a very talented player.  Jerry may have had some ulterior motives in picking him up, but realistically Sam is likely good enough to play for the Cowboys this year, and the position he plays fits into their general defensive scheme.  I personally don't care what his sexual orientation is, nor do I care that he chose to tell the world.  As long as his play on the field is judged by his ability, he'll be given a fair shake.  if he can't cut it, then he shouldn't be given extra chances because he's gay.  on the flipside of that, if he can cut it, he shouldn't be given less chances because he's gay.  we'll see what happens.

I think that most people understand that a very high percentage (proportional to the general population) of professional female athletes are gay.  It's not a shock when we find out that another one is. 

The problem is not that the busses have been cut, but that the money was spent to provide them to begin with.  Most districts do not provide these services.  My mom was a single mother who worked nights, but I never missed an afterschool basketball practice, and I never got stuck at school without a ride home, despite the fact that I lived a good ten miles from my middle school and 7 or 8 from my high school.  family and the community should be able to make it work for a kid.  there's no reason, especially in Beaumont where most kids live reasonably close to their school, that a teammate or teammate's parent can't get another kid home after a game or practice. 

Tebow put up some of the worst numbers in history. Sam had decent numbers in a handful of games. Tebow's team won in spite of him, not because of him.

To be fair, Sam did better in preseason (pretty decent) than Tebow did at any time in his pro career.  to be even fairer, Tebow fans imagined most of the criticism he took for expressing his Christian views.  there were a few people who complained, but the majority of people who said he was criticized for his Christianity actually ignored the fact that he sucked.  Then when people said he sucked, they blamed the criticism on his Christianity, rather than the fact that he was a terrible QB.    I will say that I agree that Sam is getting way too much media coverage for a player that was cut from the roster and can't even find a practice team, but like it or not, he's not an ordinary player, and the interest in his career is well above average.  he's getting more attention than he deserves (not unlike Tebow) because he lives a lifestyle much different from the average NFL player (not unlike Tebow).

haha, a typo.  i was in a hurry.

also worth noting, i asked for and received extra proof since making that last post. 

Nash, ECO has sent me some information that leads me to believe that he is telling the truth about managing a multibillion dollar portfolio.  He wishes to remain anonymous on this board, which i suppose is fairly understandable with all of the people he's hacked off.  That being said, I have zero opinion in y'alls pissing contest, as i have little to no clue about what either one of you is talking about.

Sure does. But when I cut my back field, it doesn't mean I'm working my job.

Our school went from 23 to 12.
