Slinger, you somehow misunderstood what I said, and somehow I think that you are the only one who did not get the point. I didn't say anything about how they are ingested. The fact is that alcohol is consumed. It isn't smoked, snorted or shot up. Alcohol is something that can be ingested in a responsible manner, consumed in a responsible manner, or used in a responsible manner. So, I will ask again...explain how one uses heroin responsibly.
Teacher1994, how do you know that he is a marijuana user and disruptive student? If you're going to bring up things like that, tell us how you know. Are you a former educator who had this student in class recently? I'm not really sure why they made such a big deal about creatine. You can get it at any GNC. If he was a "disruptive student", perhaps they were looking for ways to suspend him. I'm not saying that's right, but the fact is that schools tend to keep their eyes on the "disruptive" students. If he had the spotlight on him for bad behavior, that's his fault. However, I can't agree that he should have received a 10-day suspension for a substance that isn't prohibited. It isn't a drug or OTC medication. It occurs naturally in the body and people take it as a workout supplement.
The article also said that they already have officers who work undercover in bars. I do not know what the undercover officers do, but I fail to see how serving intoxicated persons is the source of the problem How is the bartender supposed to know or keep track of who is driving and who is not? Plus, if someone is already intoxicated, s/he already should not be driving, so how does not serving someone who is already intoxicated help? What about people who have a DD? Is it fair to stop serving them? Maybe they're out for a night of drinking and are doing it responsibly. Who are you to tell them that they can't have another drink because they're intoxicated? What about people who are drinking at home? Are you going to use that money to send people around to knock on doors and make sure no one is getting drunk before going out?
The source of the problem is people who choose to drive while under the influence.
I went to Stadium Drive Elementary about 25 years ago, and this program (at least the afternoon session, not sure about the morning session) was in place then. I can remember some of my classmates being "after-school kids". I'm sure parents appreciate the convenience of not having to get kids to daycare, and I am betting it is far less expensive. It sounds like a great program.
I agree. This guy is in the country working hard and not asking for handouts. He graduated high school and college, and I would be willing to bet that he SPEAKS FLUENT ENGLISH. If all illegals were standup guys like this one, most Americans would feel differently about immigrants. Sadly, most people seem to come here with the attitude that they are owed something. We have illegal aliens who commit crimes and the "system" allows them to stick around and commit crimes that are even more heinous. Search on foxnews.com for Pedro Espinoza or Edwin Ramos. Unbelieveable. I'm certain that ICE could find much better use for their agents and money.
Why admonish an entire group of people based on the actions of a few? Yes, just as in any profession, there are bad ones, and there are good ones. In most cases, the bad ones end up showing their true colors. It's just a shame that their actions paint the good ones in a bad light. I know a couple of BPD officers, neither of whom are related to or knew trustees when they were hired. They're not the type of officers that you describe, and neither are the vast majority of their fellow officers.
Can you explain exactly how she made a fool of herself? This was a speech competition, and she won her category. It is not necessarily meant to be educational. She deserves congratulations. How about give the girl some credit for being able to get up in front of a panel and act out numerous different characters using different mannerisms and voices?? Just because you do not appreciate her talents does not mean you have to make ignorant comments that are meant to demean her accomplishments. It takes a lot of guts to get up and perform in front of people. I guess it also takes a lot of guts to get on a message board and make ill-mannered comments just to be spiteful. What exactly were you hoping to accomplish by doing that? Were you not feeling good about yourself today and you wanted to bring someone else down?

Last time I checked, there were responsible ways to consume alcohol. Please explain to me how one can responsibly use heroin.
