Written on Letter: What's he thinking?:

Charlotte, NBA contracts can't be restructured.

Written on Letter: Too high a price for convenience:

Hendry is's always better when customers can buy a product for a cheaper price...they can then use that money at their, tailor, mechanic, or save it which gets lent to others. Also, if as he says the price won't be cheaper, then he has nothing to worry about now does he? :)

Written on Letter: Free speech for all:

in response to L_S:


Folks need to be careful where they spend their money. Their are zealots at the top of many of these companies who harbor very racist and regressive, bigoted views. And they take "your" dollars and give it to "your" enemies..

Be careful.

Wrong...the only entity that takes money from anyone in this country is the government...chick fil a has ZERO ability to take anyones money...if you don't want to eat their, fine, thats how voting with your pocketbook works..but to say they "take" money is misspeaking and is very misleading.

Written on Chris Peck: Tough choices on spending :

Practicing free market principles forces the improvement of all products and services regardless of business locale. Maximizing your own utility by spending dollars is what drives competition and incentives. Also, I wonder if Chris has ANY deductions on his tax returns.

Written on Letter: Stand up to the NRA:

Mass murder rates have stayed the same in the last 20 years...moreover, more people die each year from pool drowning accidents then they do at the hand of a gunman...where is your outcry over the "health hazard" of having a swimming pool??

Written on Letter: Questions for Romney:

What Romney does with his own money is far less of an issue than what Obama does with the American people's money.

Written on Chris Peck: If I were king, I'd ban sugary sodas in Memphis:

Hey Chris,

Stop being an idealogue and look at the real world. Many more people are killed by pool accidents than guns - where is your outcry on that? Also, have u ever read a history book...this country is here because freedom loving people got up and left a country where they were being ruled by a KING. It doesn't matter what the science says...the constitution trumps all of that garbage. In the USA we are to be free to do whatever we want as long as we are not harming anyone else. The government (and the newspaper) doesn't exist to protect me from myself. Take a hard look at the definition of freedom and liberty and stop telling people what is in their best interest. Freedom is always the best interest.

Written on "Bear crawl" triggers injury claims by Memphis police recruits :

No, i heard from a recruit that this was a punishment. A female recruit embarrassed the training officer and he decided that the appropriate punishment was bear crawls around a pavement track (400m)...its cruel if not unusual because you can train your same muscles doing the exact excersise on grass.

Written on Ohio teen runner helps carry competitor to finish:

in response to reflection:

The difference is that these competitors are not professionals. They're just kids having fun and the difference in the self-sacrifice was securing either the last spot or the penultimate spot. I thought it was a nice story and that the girl showed compassion. We need more of that.

Running in the park is kids having fun, this was a formal competition...i guess we disagree but i believe we need more competitive spirit and less "everyone's a winner". Would it have been less compassionate if she finished the race (20 ft to go) and then turned around to go help her?

Written on Ohio teen runner helps carry competitor to finish:

in response to badger999:


i guess i just don't understand what spirit that is...if you aren't playing/training/trying to win then why keep score?

Written on Ohio teen runner helps carry competitor to finish:

in response to censored_conservative:

this type of spirit and moral character is what our country was built on.
