I know it's a ways away, but there are signs posted in my neighborhood about a lost beagle. SomeoneRead More could have picked this girl up here and dumped her there. I'll try to contact the person around here who posted about the lost dog.

Its just common sense to be respectful to the person who is deciding your fate. I guess he didntRead More have any. Not to mention where is the basic decency he should adher to??--- I vote contempt.

contempt of court is simply contempt of court
Tony May 9, 2013 at 06:28 pm
The 30 days wasn't for "cussin" it was disrespect to the court. As to additional cost toRead More the people, it is minimum if any due to him already being in jail on a attempt murder charge. This bond hearing was for the throwing of body fluids while in jail. Now, do you have any facts to back up the part on the judge being racist?

Apologies, I think this is a joke and I assumed it wasn't. I thought about it while I was at RedsRead More on Shem Creek. For those following the Reds saga, there was a kid in a wheel chair. I'm not aware of any wars he may have fought in, but it was 2 at the absolute most.

I did change my profile picture to support my gay and lesbian friends and loved ones. True LoveRead More should hold no Rules on gender. Not all couples are meant to procreate. Hetero couples don't always... can't always... shouldn't always!! It's Not Just about making More humans. It's about LOVE. ACCEPTANCE. Allowing Everyone Equal Rights... This should Not even BE an Issue. Rights are for Everyone!!!!!!!

I know people who are gay and that is their personal choice. But at the same time it does notRead More change the fact that it is unnatural ( show me 2 male or 2 females having sex that will produce offspring). For example if you put 50 "gay" male giraffes and 50 "gay" female giraffes together they will be extinct! The theory of evolution points out the fact its unnatural. Most importantly that it is clearly stated in the Bible that it is WRONG. God the Father and Jesus the son do love gays but that doesn't change the truth of the matter. If you want to define gay relationships then create a definition for it because it's not marriage. Since recorded history marriage has been between a man and woman period. The word smartphone is new to the day make up one for long term gay relationships. How about "gayrriage"?
Todd March 28, 2013 at 02:09 pm
No, this was stupid. Just like people posting the color of their bra & boxers to show supportRead More for social issues. Facebook isn't a political machine but it has apparently turned into a "follow the leader" social networking site. I support equal rights for all, just as I support finding a cure for breast cancer but all of these very dumb "mass campaigns" are ineffective.
Diana April 20, 2013 at 05:05 pm
At least they are attempting to make a living honestly instead of gangbanging your home! evenRead More "thugs" have to start somewhere. Its a hand car wash Dude, who did you EXPECT to be washing your car? Berlin G Meyers?? lol

Maybe Mark Sanford would have done a better job. Probably not though. ;)
