Ty Cobb

I bought a bird feeder. I hung It on
my back porch and filled it with seed.
What a beauty of a bird feeder it was, as I filled it, lovingly with seed.
Within a week we had hundreds of birds
taking advantage of the continuous flow
of free and easily accessible food.
 
But then the birds started building nests in the boards of the patio, above the table,
and next to the barbecue.
 
Then came the poop. It was
everywhere: on the patio tile,
the chairs, the table...
Everywhere!
 
Then some of the birds turned mean.
They would dive bomb me and try
to peck me even though I had fed them out of my own pocket.
 
And others birds were boisterous and
loud. They sat on the feeder and squawked and screamed at all hours of the day and night and demanded that I fill it when it got low on food.
 
After a while, I couldn't even sit on my
own back porch anymore. So I took down the bird feeder and in three days the
birds were gone. I cleaned up their mess and took down the many nests they had built all over the patio.
 
Soon, the back yard was like it used
to be... quiet, serene....
And no one demanding their
rights to a free meal.
 
Now let's see...
Our government gives out free food, subsidized housing, free medical care
and free education, and allows anyone
born here to be an automatic
Citizen.
 
Then the illegal's came by the tens of thousands. Suddenly, our taxes went up to pay for free services; small apartments
are housing 5 families; you have to wait
6 hours to be seen by an emergency room doctor; your child's second grade class is
behind other schools because over half the class doesn't speak English.
 
Corn Flakes now come in a bilingual box;
I have to 'press one' to hear my bank
talk to me in English, and people waving flags other than 'Old Glory' are
squawking and screaming in the streets, demanding more rights and free liberties.
 
Just my opinion, but maybe it's time for
the government to take down the bird feeder.
 

The truth is the truth.....u can dislike it all you want.....doesn't change the truth.
 
hire proven certified professionals who are of good standing no matter the race......not kin folk who are fake at first....cause evenutally true colors will show......hence all the issues at BISD.

What did you want? How well Beaumont supervises its financing? B)  

that is the old distraction technic.
 
when someone points out something your are doing wrong you distract from the real issue. you either bring up race or blame someone else for something.
 
vidor does have a window to throw it out of. it was painted last week by some vandals….. i saw it on the biased news  :)  

Sorry, but I rule in favor of the officer. Kids need to respect authority. They also need to ban cell phones in schools.

This episode is a total embarrassment , to every tax payer in Beaumont. I am not surprised of the decision by Atkins to take legal action. That's what happens, when you have incompetent individuals running your day to day operations. Their decisions are hurting our kids and community. Personally, I don't think they give a damn. How much more of this nonsense, are we going to endure ? Before TEA steps in and put an end to this night mare.

I miss college. Those WERE the days. Whew.

Banzai: Oh, Scar, it's just you. Shenzi: We were afraid it was somebody important. Banzai: Yeah, you know, like Mufasa. Scar: I see. Banzai: Now that's power. Shenzi: Tell me about it. I just hear that name and I shudder. Banzai: Mufasa! Shenzi: Ooooh! Do it again! Banzai: Mufasa! Shenzi: Ooooh! Banzai: Mufasa, Mufasa, Mufasa! Shenzi: Ooooh! Shenzi: And it tingles me! Scar: I'm *surrounded* by idiots.

Accountability would be out of character for this Regime; requires responsible Adults. The reality of this is if the kids would have behaved as many of these people have, BISD would have the audacity to suspend/expel the kids for this sort of behavior & track record. SMH
2 Faced Liars!!!!!

I am a huge college fan but this ruling is ridiculous. I say if they want to be considered employees of the college then they need to see what it is like to be in the work force. Go ahead and pay these kids but, cut back on the scholarship percentage and let them see what it's like to be a working man and pay for what you want......I believe an athlete that gets his tuition paid for and stays in the athlete's dorms with meals is enough for these kids. If they want spending money then let them work in the offseason and learn to save......receiving a scholarship to a college is an honor not a priveledge. Some kids now days are so spoiled they don't appreciate what is given to them, all they want is more. This is going to hurt college sports a whole lot more then help it. Big schools will even suffer in the long run. This is just the tip of the iceberg. Look what happened to the NFL since the union came in. It created a lot of greedy men who are basically playing for the money and not for the passion of the game like it should be. Same will happen in college....Just wait.

The biggest tragedy of all this is the kids at Ozen  are the ones that suffer because of the underachievemnt of the adults in charge. No reason why Admin cant find a Quality coach to run that program there at Ozen.  Shame on the admin and i feel sorry for the poor boys there left in limbo waiting for leadership.

it seems to me that everyone is missing the point.  if the coach really told chargois about the problem, and I believe he probably did, and chargois chose not to say anything to the board members, which appears to be true, the only conclusion is that chargois knew how toxic the topic would be and chose not to say anything because he knew the board would never go for the hire in the first place.  this is not about media scrutiny - this is about a school official having knowledge about something that is apparently important to many people - and then choosing to take a road that would lead to all of this trouble.  it should be the credibility of the superintendent that is being questioned, not the coach - and not the media. 
 
this has nothing to do with Kirbyville or hull-daisetta.  this is solely about a lack of leadership and a problem with credibility.

No sir you're the idiot, my kids being in BISD hasn't kept them from being honor students. Yes we have problems, but my kids don't have a choice but to get it done. The district isn't the problem, it's some that run it. Furthermore, being A proud Black Man I never use race as an excuse. So don't ever in your Rabbit *** life disrespect me like that. I have high Moral Standards & i expect the same from ALL kids I come in contact with. You are the RACIST, I can feel it through the messages you leave on here. 
It's best you and I have no further response to each other. SMH :angry: 
 
*Mod Edit - do not use profanity or attack users *

Personally, i'm fed up with the whole situation. Those that need to be Jailed, please do so, but I have kids in BISD and we will prevail regardless. All of this is out of our control, but can't whine about our situations but we are aware. Voting is the key, and our VOICES need to be heard.  I agree that there is a double standard on the reporting.  There is a Bias in the reporting and we all know it, but that goes with the Territory. This doesn't excuse the wrongdoing of BISD. I'm Ashamed for the light our kids & community are put in because of some greedy, immoral idiots that were voted into positions. This crap has to stop & i'm sure i will be called a troublemaker, but that line forms around the corner for me.

The issue isn't whether other districts have had scattered improper incidents, the issue is that BISD has one improper incident after another.  It's constant, and it needs to stop.  The biggest thing I see is that the leadership at BISD (and apparently some community members) are so arrogant as to think they can still do whatever they want.  Hence the hiring of Atkins.  It was disclosed at some point, and that information wasn't given to all of the board members.  Once again, a few in leadership are believing that they can hide info from others, in order to accomplish whatever it is they have on their agenda. 

IMO ! Once again BISD AD & everyone else involved in the hiring process of Mr. Aktins didn't do their homework. Per, the news media Atkins disclosed all the necessary information concerning the allegations against him. At that point an educated decision should have been made to accept him as a viable candidate or decline his application. This is a total disgrace to the student / athletes @ Ozen and community with all the other nonsense factored into the equation as well. If you're trying to build Champions and Character. It doesn't start by hiring someone with Dirty Laundry. Get it together BISD ! You're hurting the Kids & destroying the Community !

I like the change. The clock will set as soon as a play is over. No more watching ref's stand over the ball waiting to set the clock. The ball will be put in play very quickly.
