in response to MorbidTales:

vpats is assuming Zimmerman's account is fact. So easy to do. What did Trayvon have to say? Oh yeah, Nothing! He's dead. You can go ahead and buy Zimmerman's testimony as fact. I knew you would. Just remember, there is a dead 17 year old boy that will never get to tell his side of the story! I hope you can marinate on that!

It is tragic about the loss of a human life but there was eye witness accounts and evidence to back up GZs story. Did you not watch the trial?

Written on COMMUNITY COMMENT: Criminals won't obey gun restrictions:

in response to aeson:

"Chicago. It has the most laws on the books concerning gun control. They have the most restrictive laws. And they also have more deaths from guns than any city in the United States." I am sick and tired of the people who repeat this lie. The city of Chicago has about ONE-FOURTH as many gun deaths per capita as New Orleans. Chicago is not even in the top ten major US cities for per capita gun deaths. See if you don't believe me. (Significantly, Mr Koressel does not cite a source.)

And the Constitution. Ah, yes. The document that does not mention gun ownership. The one that says you have the right to keep a gun insofaras you are supporting a well-regulated militia. That document. Which I do not think Mr Korassel has ever read.

your source is flawed in so many ways. first, that is a gun control guys article, from a gun control paper, of which he is editor in chief. his own charts contradict his source ,(CDC) if you care enough to actually look at the data. look up some non-biased facts by going to our own FBI. you'll be enlightened.

I expect that he has read the Constitution, but has a reading comprehension challenge. He needs to read the Ninth Amendment, too, and see if he can comprehend it. I just want to get this mess handed over to SCOTUS soon!

gun people don't want guns passed out to everyone as you suggest. we just don't want our right to protect ourselves and our property infringed upon. if you don't want a gun, don't buy one. My suggestion to you is to get out in the world a bit or maybe crack open a newspaper and read about some of the twisted people living among us.

Written on Chrysler factory workers to get $1,500 checks :

in response to unionsstink:

(This comment was removed by the site staff.)

the UAW has over 450,000 members these execs represent. Now the execs you listed make a little over $500,000. so that is about a buck out of the workers pocket that goes to the top brass. chrysler earned a profit of $183,000,000 in 2011 and the CEO said in an email to employees it was due to everyone's extra effort and rewarded it with a bonus check. He obviously doesn't mind paying a little more than what he's already paying so why should we.

(This comment was removed by the site staff.)

Ok Uions Stink, I'm going to try to help clear this up. The leaders of the UAW don't work for Chrysler. They work for the UAW. The workers work for Chrysler and they belong to an organization called the UAW. Part of their responsibility for belonging to the UAW is paying a fee(dues).Out of this 'dues' money comes the paychecks for the leadership of UAW. It comes out of pocket of the workers. Not Chrysler!

Written on Rally in opposition to Right-to-Work legislation draws crowd at C.K. Newsome Center:

If only 9-11% of workers are unionized, why are they such a threat to the RTWers. It seems this is such a small number of people, who cares. Let them have their unions. Aren't there enough of those wonderful nonunion jobs around?

WHEN ARE THEY GOING TO OUTLAW PIPES!!! We have got to round up all pipes and get rid of them!!! If anyone is caught carrying a pipe, they should be locked up!

Written on Police: Some of the 5 killed in Southeastern Indiana were shot:

in response to dll57:

Allowing more people to carry firearms in public feeds situations like this.

Prayers to those involved, and to those lawmakers who favor these laws.

well there is a law on the books that says it is unlawful to shoot and kill people but that didn't stop this murder.

Written on Berry Plastics acquires another plastics company:

money maker, once again, spewing crap of which you know nothing about. I personally know many people who work in that plant and make a very decent living. It is because they pay well they don't need a union. they have benefits that would make us union guys envious.

in response to ElmerGantry:

kids who are in extra curriculars...ESPECIALLY sports, score higher on standardized tests, have better attendance and fewer discipline incidents than those students who do not.....countless studies have shown this over the years.

sure I remember how smart the jocks were when I went to school.

Written on COMMUNITY COMMENT: School's proposed dress code stifles child's ability to think for self:

If PARENTS would take more of an interest in what their kids put on in the morning and see to it that it is something appropriate, none of this talk about uniforms would be necessary.

Written on Amendment banning gay marriage in Indiana advances to full Senate:

in response to Jim2000:

Captain_D, I hate to burst your safe little uneducated bubble, but people are born gay. As a clinical psychologist, you should know better. I do know gay people, and the story is always similar. They were born that way, they hid it because many in society will try to burn you at the stake. By the way, They have never found the heterosexual gene either, so that must be a lie. No one would choose to be gay if given a choice. Also, if it is a choice as you say, was it a difficult one for you. How long did you try being gay before making an informed decision that you would prefer to be heterosexual? You did try being gay to make an informed decision right? If not, you are either making assumptions about something you know nothing about, or you were born with "the strait gene" no one has found yet. People are born gay, it is not a choice. Science, and the entire gay community, has confirmed this.

that cracks me up. One minute, liberals are all for science when it concerns creation. but not so much when it concerns their sexual preference. I would rather believe an educated person like captain d, than something your gay buddies told you.

smartest comment I've read so far.


in response to IndianaEnoch:

(This comment was removed by the site staff.)

so think about what you've said. public sector employees have the best jobs. So you want to ensure that they have a not so great non-union job like you have.let that soak in for a while .


in response to lheab:

The Republicans want to pass legislation for which they were elected to pass. Apparently a majority of Hoosiers want this legislation, because the voted them in.

If the Dems don't like it they should get more of their politicians elected!!

I dont remember, maybe you could refresh my memory. Which of these republicans ran on the Right to Work platform while trying to get elected. Thats right , none!

Written on LETTER: Daniels is waging war on teachers:

in response to JMNSHO:

Private schools produce better educated kids not because they don't have unions but because the parents care and because the schools are allowed to set minimum thresholds for progress and behavior. Most students who excel in private schools would also excel in public schools, simply because their parents care about their education. Public schools must attempt to educate "students with a track record of laziness and dedication to giving no effort toward educational goals" (as someone mentioned on a previous article). Charter schools and private schools simply refuse those students entry or expel them once it is determined that they are not willing to work and/or they are disruptive. If the public schools could/would do that, their scores would be much higher than they currently are.

finally, someone with a brain. I feel they should reverse how the charter schools work. first, build one big facility in the center of the city. Then send all the trouble making heathens who have parents who don't give a damn to this new facility. this would free up so much of a teachers time to educate the good kids that try. just think... no interruptions due to some buffoon that wasn't taught how to act in public by their parents.

Written on Escalade tops Hoosier stock list:

where are all the comments? of course your profits go up when you ship all of your manufacturing processes to Mexico. That is not too hard to see coming.people had better wake up to what Ross Perot warned us about 25 years ago. can you hear the giant sucking sound? Its loud and clear to me!

Written on Troy Tornatta launches bid for Evansville mayor:

why can't people understand Rick Davis is just what this city needs. Contrary to other comments, he is an intelligent man. Winnecke is just the same old crap we've been getting in all the last elections. I thought we just fired Troy. the best thing he could do is stay fired. GO RICK!!!

Written on UPDATE: Pickup driver hits two pedestrians near Casino Aztar:

in response to AndyCapp:

A quick comment to those who recklessly state or infer that the two who were hit were drunk. I cannot recall when I have ever seen a drunk casio patron. They may need a shave or deoderant. They may need to have their clothes washed. They may need a lot of other things, but sobriety is not one of the things they need.

It ticks me off when supposedly rational people jump to conclusions that ALL casino patrons are drunks.

I, personally, have never taken a drink in this or any other casino. It impairs my thinking ability. With an impaired thinking ability I cannot play the table games intelligently.

And to the poster who says it is against casino rules for their employees to cross in the middle of the block, I say that you must be blind and/or stupid. You see them doing it frequently. It must be one of those rules that is never enforced.

yeah. I see a lot of you big thinkers going in to casinos. give me a break.

yeah you're right. It's too hard. We better just sit and do nothing.


do you really feel it is fair to tax someone so that for every dollar they earn, they get to keep a dime of it. And as a side note, there has never been a 90%tax rate ever.

Written on COMMUNITY COMMENT: Union conditions are safer for workers:

in response to MONEYMAKER:

The same people on here that are saying the government should be doing their job to protect workers are the same people who believe there is too much government involvement in business. You people, like always are talking out of both sides of your mouth.
I agree the government is not protecting workers if they were the unions would not be need for worker’s safety. If the employers were to abide by the state and federal laws and were good employers there would be no need for unions at all.

Unions only exist because of “Bad Employers’. No union exists where the employer is a good employer and treats its people fair and equal.

Many on here who are negative about unions are the very ones who wish they were unionized and the others are employers who fear the union, who made them treat their employees fair.

Go Unions:-)

I agree. If the government is the answer, what would those tax increases look like. I can't imagine how many OSHA inspectors they would need to hire to man the jobs properly.I think I've seen two OSHA inspectors on the job in my whole career as a commercial/industrial construction worker and I can't count the number of safety issues I've seen.

Written on LETTER: Spirit of Arizona law is correct:

in response to EricHendo:

Um, difference here is that at that time, Stepping onto Ellis Island WAS the legal way to go about the process. Therefore, perfectly legal.

Get your historical facts straight before trying that argument please. We have a different legal immigration process now, one that does not require someone to take a long boat ride to reach an immigration center in the new land to apply for citizenship.

you're wasting your time hendo. They conceal historical facts in books and I don't believe people like momacita4 and spike know anything about them.

It is so refreshing to read comments from someone with their eyes open. Arizona had no other choice. I'm glad Arizona is saying enough is enough!


in response to scottythebody97:

As someone who played football with him this year, i know for a fact that Alordo is strong enough to take on any police officer so don't go jumping to conclusions about how out of shape they are. And by the way, Alordo isn't a minority, he's 18!

do you know what the definition of 'minority' is? Do you know what it means to be a 'minor'? Look it up
