in What’s More Dangerous: The Internet or Drunk Drivers? on The Technology Liberation Front

I agree with your position -- that the danger of online predation is way overblown. But I don't see the quantitatively argument in at least the data you present.

2007: 6500 deaths from 16-20 year-olds from driving. Let's wildly guess that there are 18 million Americans at that age through some back-of-envelop calculations. Then we're talking about fatality rate of 0.036%.

Two out of 1500 victimized? 0.13%

Their fears don't look so ridiculous anymore, at least with those numbers.

Dearest poorly insulated angry human,

Those radiator-style heaters are probably the safest ones around. All you can do is burn yourself with them, it's pretty unlikely they'd get anything else to combust.

Also, fireplaces are rad.

Do you really need to make all of these posts seperate? Interesting thoughts, but this would have been great to read top to bottom.

in When we say what we don’t mean: Left Behind and Christian (mis)communication on Think Christian

When I watched Facing the Giants all I saw was the "Trust in Jesus and your life immediately becomes perfect" message. Frankly, it had my wife and I laughing by the end at how ridiculous it became. So yes, other people have seen that in this film.

in Google Transit gets a new crown jewel: The Big Apple on VentureBeat

It shouldn't be a shocking innovation. Google maps + transit has existed for a long time. (I think the new thing is that NYC's transit info is finally made available such that Google maps can use it.)

Also, I think Google's maps+directions is much more usable, and speedier, than hopstop.

Damn. But I do not agree with most of those other aliases. I thought this used to be mapped to the email address association. Yikes.

in Council should trash new bag proposal on Gloucester Daily Times

Who knows? They would probably have to change the bag fee (a.k.a. TAX) to $6 though since they might not get the recycled material kickback anymore :-)

As the letter states single stream is worth a look first to help with the motivation issue. Here is one city where it works...

funkymonkey Scott, thank you. I just visited your referenced website. Looks great to me. Maybe we could institute this in Gloucester.....but rewarding one for doing what they should already be doing....sounds too good to be true!! In this City, the ones that get rewarded don't have to pay for their own water and sewer bills or RE taxes.

Everyone, please visit the above referenced website. It looks like a program that could work very well.

gidget Sounds good. Someone should bring this up at tonights meeting. May-be they could take this into consideration instead of asking for more and more and more $$$..

in Senior center to receive boost from Action on Gloucester Daily Times

I would guess the 23K is for "other" income like retirement funding, etc leading to the 114K total, but that is just a guess.

I flagged myself for abuse on the post that messed stuff. I feel so dirty.

funkymonkey Thank you Ron and Scott for the information. Did you see the top 5 salary earners? This is outrageous.
How do we begin to stop this insanity?

Sybil Scott, you are so good at getting this stuff off the net. Thanks! So William Rochford in 2006 (last year on this website made $90,665. It also listed $23,578 as employee benefit plan contribution. Not sure what that is specifically.)

Sybil, Don't worry. Just have your sons tell the Recruiter that they are Jews, Muslims, Hindus or Mormons and don't know the Lord's Prayer.

Sueann,
Scroll up and read your original post. That was the question that I was originally responding to. Your latest tirade does not address my point and opinion of when the ROTC recruitment started to change. I give up.
Funkmunk, You are just as bad changing the subject to the “other” topic.

An "I don't think so". Or, "I don't think so because..." would have sufficed. My opinion is that was the period that such groups started not automatically being as welcomed in schools.

No thanks I think you are right about that Scott.

Sybil Well Scott, they probably don't remember the Lord's prayer. But it won't get that far. I know where to hide them ! No one is getting my little boys.

Scott Sybil, Don't worry. Just have your sons tell the Recruiter that they are Jews, Muslims, Hindus or Mormons and don't know the Lord's Prayer.

Sybil Scott, I know what you are saying. And honestly I do think that part of my mostly negative feelings toward ROTC are because I associate it with the military (go figure). While I respect our soldiers and veterans enormously, I don't like the interventions we've had in Vietnam or Iraq (I make exception for Afghanistan which was very understandable.) My sons have friends who are in or were in ROTC and I think they are great kids who I respect. But I don't want my kids going to war and would rather them spend their time doing things other than prepare for it.

Scott Sueann,

Funkmunk, You are just as bad changing the subject to the “other” topic.

Sueann Lack of God and Country is responsible, removeal of the Pledge of Allegiance and the Lord's Prayer is responsible. Lack of respect of our Vietnam veterans is responsible. Lack of respect for the men and women who protect our rights daily throughout the world is responsible. Lack of discipline is responsible. Not getting involved, not caring............forget it.........ROTC instills displicine and respect and has nothing to do with Vietnam.

Sybil Hi Sueann, You have said a** in at least two posts today. What is going on ? You don't usually curse on this board. I think it is funny, except Scott didn't deserve it. But LOL anyway--I know he can take it--something lit you up today.
