"Typical Youngstown thought process--go to the high schools. Laughable"
Why? It's called moving up through the coaching ranks. All good coaches start somewhere. Not sure where you're particular thought process is coming from.
Munchkin: Good for you! Glad to hear that you're trying to make things better for your children. And you're absolutely right about not judging anyone based on their circumstances. My first job in my profession did not pay enough for me to live in an apartment without assistance, so I lived in rent assisted housing. I found that the people who lived there with me were no different than the people I live with now in my middle class neighborhood. Everyeone is capable of good and bad behavior, regardless of how much money they make. The difference is in the person and the choices they make, and it's a simple as that. Money has very little to do with it.
"Drug abuse, gang violence, abused children, citizens motivated only enough to sign up for others people's earnings...these are the expected consequences of providing rewards for a slothful life. Real compassionate, eh?" .......it's amazing what anonymity, ignorance, a keyboard and a connection to the internet will create,eh? Welcome to the world of cyber-opinion, I guess.
Glad the seniors won, but I hope they don't use this as a pretext to keep things the way they are. In college football, it's all about recruiting, and the current staff just hasn't been able to bring in enough talent to compete. If they were able to bring in a staff that at least made a serious effort to recruit locally, it would begin to restore a positive relationship between the football program and area high school coaching staffs. For some reason, the current staff believes that they don't have a chance at getting the area's top players, so they've sacrificed their relationship with local high schools. This was a big mistake.
Staph infections are a major problem, probably from over use of antiboitics. They are extremely difficult to eliminate and can actually cause damage to muscle tissue. Hopefully that's not the case with Kelly. But this a smart move. He shouldn't go until he's ready. As champ he's earned that right. If he ends up retiring....well, he had a good run.
While it's true that we might be repeating some of the mistakes made in response to the financial crisis, we also made almost all of the same mistakes that created it. The Great Depression and this near depression can be summed up by one word: Debt. In the years leading up to this crash, both businesses and consumers were carrying debt levels that would have been unthinkable 15 years earlier.
When I was a teenager in Southeast Ohio in the late 70's, one of the kids that I went to school with was caught doing the same thing. Broke in, went through the bra and panty drawers, then left. He didn't take anything, just went through the underwear. He got 7 years in the Ohio Penn. Anybody with compulsion ought to think twice before they act on it.

"Judeo-Christian teachings" - It's clear from your post that you know nothing about them. You're more like a modern day Pharisee than a Christian.
