seMissourian.com: Speak Out: Speak Out 10/1/10 (10/01/10)

Public school results

WHAT do you expect from a government-run school? Cape Girardeau public schools want more money. What's been done with the money from the last bond issue? I need to see some results from this bond issue before I consider a donation.

Crime infestation

TO the author of the Speak Out comment titled "Casino assets": By the time you ended your comment, you indicated that the area around the casino remained crime-infested.

More than money

I think it is important that Cape Girardeau realize that there are things more worth pursuing than money. Do you want your children growing up in such proximity to gambling? The casino boats in St. Louis are close enough. Keep in mind that most religions are uncompromisingly against gambling. Too many good families are affected by gambling addiction already. Ask the families of victims of this disease if the perceived benefits are worth the costs.

Obama's track record

TO the person who praised President Obama and said one of his accomplishments is getting us out of Iraq, you evidently haven't learned a thing in the past two years. President Obama may say he's going to do something, but he hasn't done it yet. In fact, more of our young men have been killed recently. I think you're counting your chickens before they hatch.

Fix the flag

I passed by the VFW on Kingshighway the other day and was appalled. The flags in front of the building were faded and torn. You are supposed to be the example. Fix it.

Fix the flag --- so they can count on your financial contributions to buy a new one ?

Obama's track record --- it's sometimes hard to seperate Obama's accomplishments and failures , i'm so mixfused...

Public school results --- you might as well forget this...the only priority Cape has at this time is a Casino...if your request does not involve a Casino , it goes on deaf ears...

anyone see a UFO lately ?

More than money,

I have no problem with my children growing up around a river casino.

What religions are against gambling? Many like to host Bingo. Also, arn't some religions against dancing as well? Its a pomopus and aggogant position to outlaw activies based on the religions fanatacism.

Fix the Flag,

Instead of calling speak out, why not call the VFW. Furthermore, if its that big of an issue, why not purchase a flag and hand deliver it to them.

lumbrgfktr;

You are confusing religions with denominations. You can't condemn all of Christianity becuase you don't like what one certain denomination teaches. Each denomination has their own interpetation of what is right and wrong, which is their right. If you don't like the beliefs of a particular one it's very simple, don't join. Find one that fits your beliefs. But don't condemn them all because of the beliefs of a few!

Apparently,all seeing eye is a. minister.He thinks he is God,already. To bad he doesn't read the Bible,and has not noted the praise the diciples received for the way it was written.The scribs and pharasees could not understand it,but those who loved God could. Come to think of it,where does it say what college,Jesus went to.
