TO our representatives, senators and president: It's time we get out of Afghanistan. We aren't gaining. It's going to go just like it did in Vietnam, where we lost about 50,000 of our military personnel. It's time we get out. We can't keep trying to take care of the whole world.
I wonder why Southeast Missouri State University does not enforce its no-smoking rules. Students have to stand outside on a concrete pad to smoke, but employees of the university smoke anywhere they want to -- in their vehicles, on the sidewalks. If it's a nonsmoking campus, then the no-smoking rule should be enforced. Otherwise, do away with it and let everybody do their smoking outside.
IT is interesting that a front-page story Oct. 8 in the Missourian indicates that the Southeast Missouri State University regents are going to consider the demolition of Washington School. In the same paper, and on several previous days, the legal notices section published a notice for bids on the demolition. It seems the university is going a little far in relation to decisions already having been made and then making it appear as they are new.
REGARDING the mailboxes on Mount Auburn Road. Anyone who watched the recent city council meeting will see why the mailboxes are placed in the sidewalk. That was supposed to have been a grassy area. To make it easier for property owners who would have to mow that area, the city went ahead and concreted it. This is not an issue for the residents who use those mailboxes. Why should anyone else care? I think the city and postal service and the people doing the road work did everything they knew how to make it as safe and convenient for the residents as possible. Everyone else should work with that idea.
I believe sex offenders, especially repeat offenders, should not be around children. I found an 11-year-old girl on the street the other day. She looked like a prostitute. Mothers, you need to keep your daughters dressed.
I live in Scott City. We have the type of trash pickup service that Cape Girardeau is considering. I called the company and asked for a smaller container that I could handle more easily. It didn't seem to be a problem. I recycle, so I have very little trash. I don't have to take it out every week unless I want to. I think you will like it.
IT'S flu season. Some of us work in school systems. We're at a lot of risk. We take a lot of chances all year long. I think the flu shots should be funded by the school districts, because we're the ones who take care of the children.
NASA is shooting at the moon to see if it contains water. I think we should be more concerned about what's going on here on planet Earth and our water supply. By the way, this moonshot endeavor only costs the taxpayers $70 million. I think somebody needs to check those guys' heads and see if they've got rocks for brains.
I believe that children should be given spelling words up to the high school level. They can't spell. I had a child who was on the honor roll. When he left school, he could not spell. My niece graduated high school. She cannot spell. If I'm seeing this, I'm sure other parents are seeing it too.

Time to leave ...nuke 'em!
University smoking ...time for everyone to quit on campus , it's the fair thing to do..
Demolition decision ...or is there one ?
Mailbox explanation ...the mystery has been solved
Proper clothing ...an 11 year old sex offender? i'm mixfused on this one..
Proper Clothing: I don't think that happened. I don't think you "found" an 11 year girl on the street dressed like a prostitute. Sounds fishy. How did you "find" her? How did you learn her age? Why did you approach such a young girl to begin with? Like I said, this is another "made up" speak out entry.
"I think the flu shot should be funded by the school districts because we're the ones who take care of the children." I have an ideal, I'd like my tax dollars to keep updated books, science & computer labs etc. & instead of just taking care of the children let the teachers' do what they do best, TEACH! School isn't a place to just care of the children, if you just want day care, take them to a day care center!! A flu shot? I'll take my own children to the doctor & have that taken care of, it is, after all, MY responsibility to take care of MY children!
Time to leave,
Agree, it is time that the US allowed the Pashtun majority to have their country.
Re: Proper Clothing. This complaint should have been two separate complaints.
Yes, sex offenders (pedophiles, not the 17-year-old boys caught with their 16-year-old girlfriend) should be kept away from children.
Absolutely, children shouldn't be dressing like prostitots. And why is it only the Mother's responsibility?
redpen,
I really don't think a seventeen year old boy with a sixteen year old girlfriend can be prosecuted and labeled a pedophile. At least I couldn't find it in the statutes; may have missed it, but haven't seen one come through court.
KCPO,
I think they meant 'sex offender' for the 17 year old not pedophile, but I'm guessing.
Good to see you post again btw.
Pups,
Just passing through, kind of lost interest due to all the bickering.
The laws were changed some time ago to require that someone be over twenty one before being charged with a sex offense unless the victim is under fourteen.
This was a much needed change.
Have a good day.
Searching for water...Ta da! Speaking of rocks for brains, congratulations on winning the prize for the dumbest comment of the day.
KCPO,
Well I for one am happy you stopped by.
I hadn't known they changed the law, but agree it was much need in reguards to the age.
You have a good day also.
Searching for water,
There is a lot of goverment waste that can be eliminated before we get to quests for understanding and exploration.
Hey KC!!! Come back more often.
Searching for water..it's rained for the last few days. it shouldn't take long to find water....
Me'Lange,
Why not get rid of government and get rid of the waste with one sweep?
That would pose one problem, the baby boomers who carry the largest portion of government debt, even more than China, would have to look elsewhere to invest their savings. Maybe investments in the private sector that create worthwhile jobs that provide goods to the consumer market.
Me'Lange
the moon is made of cheese , not water...
Me'Lange,
It is my way of saying hello.
I knew your stance, and believe me, I respect it more than the Machiavellian right.
At least you are honest about your positions.
Now this is cool. Even on ice.

SCHOOL SHOTS
So, I should pay for your FLU shots? What is your view on single payer health care? If you are one who talks about "socialized medicine", then, you should not expect me to pay for your vaccinations.
The health care reform that we will get from these scum in Congress, will be a pay-off to their contributors, the insurance companies. Americans will be forced to buy health insurance, insurance companies will be allowed to raise rates once we are trapped in their system, and down the line, insuranece companies will get government funds to off-set their having to take people with pre-existing conditions. Seems like a deal that Jo Ann Emerson would vote for, afterall, she voted to take our money and give it to the greedy, gambling Wall Street bankers, and foregin banks. She voted TWICE to rip our money out of our hands and give it to them. This is just another bi-partisan plan to make us money stooges, a slush fund for the worthless insurance companies.
Why the revolution hasn't started, is beyond me. Oh, yeah, I just remembered, Americans lack ballz.
TIME TO LEAVE
It is far beyond the time that we should leave Afghanistan. We should have never went there. They never did a **** thing to us. We had no business of going in the first place. It is the neocons, the war profiteers, the two government dominating Jewish lobbies for Israel, AIPAC and AEI, and UNOCAL who wanted this unprovoked war with Afghanistan.
It is more than "time to leave." It is time that we prosecuted those who got us into Iraq and Afghanistan, and merit out the legal punishment for those who conspire to have others kill for their personal agendas. How many murders were committed in Iraq and Afghanistan? Everyone who was killed, coalition and native person, was a murder. Seems to me that these two instances would qualify as MASS MURDERS. What is the normal punishment for the figures, those in leadership positions who conspire to committ Mass Murder?
There is a whole host of former, and some current goverment figures, among others, who should be tried for Mass Murder.
Time to leave; yes leave, and then, let's take out the scum sucking, globalist, war mongering, New World Order trash.
Time to leave, The evidence speaks for itself.
The 9/11 attacks were planned in Germany and Spain, financed through an UAE bank, and the fliers, mostly Saudis, were already here in the states. Why are we in Afghanistan? Perhaps, because of their refusal to guard a planned pipeline through their country.
What do sex offenders and eleven year-old girls with improper dress have in common? NOTHING! Sex offenders are sick people. Maybe the eleven year-old girl needs a father figure. It takes two parents to raise a child. Never does the improper dress of a child or adult invite violent and/or sick abuse.

Nice avatar, Rick. ☻
Mak'i...that thing would scare the crap out of me if I saw it walking through the woods. sheesh.
Turnip
that thing looked like two people walking to me...
Nice Bud Rick
Fresh ???????
yes!
Ok this is going to be just a venting post.
Why, oh why would a company want to use Levi Johnson in a commercial to sell their product. Ok I could see some, but not the one that is paying him for this commercial. It is a commercial for pastacios(sp).
Levi is walking next to a very large body guard. The voice over says, "Levi Johnson now does it with protection." Then they show the product which is about shelling and eating the pastacio.
At first I thought this was funny, but the more I thought about the more I thought it was tacky. I know many will not agree. And I realize Mr Johnson is only earning a living. Just not sure I can buy their product now. Guess others will buy it just for him. Oh well.
Ok, vent over.
Pups
i gotta plead ignorance , i don't know who Levi Johnson is and wouldn't reckonize him if he walked up to me ...the commercial does sound tacky tho...
Rick,
Levi is the father of Sarah Palin's grandchild. Can't say that I recognized him as much as the name. Guess that is what they are banking on, name recognition. Just what does it say about a company willing to use the fact that his claim to fame is the fact that he had a child out of wedlock with a politician's child?
no wonder he made a commercial about being nuts....
As I write, there is a special documentary on the History Channel, about mind control.
There is an old Latin saying, QUI BONO? It means, who benefits? When you figure out who benefits from an action, or, policy, you can get a better grasp on what is really happening.
I have wondered, who would benefit from a society that was eroded by hardcore drug use, such as heroin, cocaine, crack cocaine, and meth?
If a government introduced those drugs into it's society, it would not be long until the people would not be concerned with any of their Constitutional rights, or, liberty. Their only concern would be when and where their next drug need would be met. Talk about a people easy to control, druggies have no wants but for the want of the drug. Keep giving them the drugs, and they will be pliable, moldable, easily controlled.
Then, there is money to be made by introducing drugs into a society. Take Clinton and GHW Bush, partners in drug running from Nicaragua to Mena, Arkansas back in the 80's. Ponzi schemes, and absurd financial shenanigans like Credit Default Swaps, Mark to Market, and other derivatives, are not the only way that some wealthy families make money in the US.
Meth is bad ju ju, but so is heroin, cocaine, and crack cocaine. Trouble is, meth is a competitor with the government imported, government sanctioned hardcore drugs. Therefore, there is a huge effort to squelch the production of Meth because it cuts into the profits made by those slime in government and families like the Bush's who make a great deal of money from hardcore drug importation and distribution in the US.
One of the main reasons that American soldiers were sent to Afghanistan was to get the poppy fields started in production again.
The legitimate government of Afghanistan, the Taliban had virtually stopped all poppy production in Afghanistan, due to religious reasons. That didn't set well with the Bushes. American troops aligned themselves with the communist and Marxist forces in northern Afghanistan, the very ones who had sided with the Russians, and with the help of the Northern (COMMUNIST) Alliance, they drove the legitimate government of Afghanistan from power and cranked up poppy production and the flow of poppies to Europe for conversion into heroin for the streets of America.
They Americans installed a puppet, Karzai, a former UNOCAL Oil Company employee, as president, and he and his corrupt brother have been raking in the profits from the veins of Americans hooked on heroin. The Bushes are happy, the globalists are happy, the Neocons are happy, and Obama is happy.
Everyone is happy, except for the thousands of Americans killed, and many more wounded beyond return to duty, their friends, families, and fellow soldiers, and the nearly two million dead Iraqi's and Afghans, killed by the Americans.
Oh, yeah, I am not so happy either. The next time that we stand on Bunker Hill, that is if we develop the balls to do so, be sure to bring enough ammo to stay on the field. The last time, we were winning when we ran out of ammo and had to leave the field to our nearly defeated British masters.
Not sure if and when there will be a gun show in PB, but the next one in Cape is in December. For God's sake BUY AMMO. With all this weird fascist, and Marxist crap that has and is happening in America, if you can't read the handwriting on the wall, just like when standing before a urinal, you need to get a little closer.
If you know people whom you trust, begin a dialogue with them. Order 16 to 30 mile radios from www.Sportsmansguide.com and start practicing some basic training in their use, and deployment.
Above all, BUY AMMO.
One4Kids,
I stand corrected. As a part of my official duties, I referred cases like this to two different Prosecuting Attorney Offices and was referred to the aforementioned statutes and told no charges could be filled.
I guess none of us knew what we were talking about.
In light of the changes in other laws, I believe this one should also and provide more leeway to consider the victim and perpetrator. If this law were to be rigorously enforced most of our young people would be considered sex offenders.
I apologize for the erroneous information provided and will refrain from posting in the future.
KCPO,
Not my intent at all, I assure you. Please reconsider. We need knowledgable folks to post.
Every time the legislature is in session they fiddle with the sexual offenses. It is hard for anybody to keep up with the current wording of the laws.
I,too, have worked with several prosecuting attorney's offices and yes they are reluctant to file this charge. Not because the activity doesnt fit the elements of the crime . . .it does. Their reluctance was reportedly based upon the numerouse times the complaint was withdrawn by the parent after the charge is filed.
Me'Lange,
Obviously someone can make it THROUGH life using spell check. I had to get online to add a comment to this since I THREW my paper away that contained this comment.
