What is so disturbing about it? Its a perk of the job. Look, I'm all about tightening the screws on wasteful government spending but this isn't one of them. The toll passes are an extension of these employee's income. Let it do Wagner and go kick a kitten. You'll feel better.
The irony here is the hate is coming from the gay community. It always is these days. Anyone with a differing opinion is labeled as a hater by the gay community when in fact the hate comes from within your own community. The saddest part of your hate, is that the media and a good portion of the general public is stupid enough to fall for your red herring tactics.
When did anyone hear the CEO say he hates the gay community? Hmmm? When? You didn't. Because he never endorsed discrimination or hate or anything of the kind. The man merely expressed an opinion about marriage. That does not mean the CEO is a hater. Nor does it demand that Chick-fil-A should be brought down to the level of the gay communities ridiculous claims.
If the gay community wants to have a conversation they do it by throwing stones and diverting the source of the true hate. The truth of the matter is most people couldn't care less about your life style or what you are. We care as much about your life style as much as we care about any other person's life style; straight or otherwise. Do your thing but stop forcing it on us. I don't want to see any person making out on the sidewalk; again, straight or otherwise. I have no interest in seeing provocatively dressed (or undressed) parades; again, straight or otherwise. Just go about your lives and stay out of my face with your hate.
Like I said, the apologists would be along soon enough, but I didn't think it would be in the form of a personal message.
To the person that sent me a PM, I understand the breed very well. Pit bulls are not to be trusted. Your pit bull may be the best family pet in the world, but that has no bearing on how your dog will react to others. Yes, how the owner treats the dog will influence it's behavior. BUT, pit bulls are predisposed to violence. There are A-holes that also own golden retrievers and beagles. When's that last times you heard of a golden retriever or beagle attacking and killing? You haven't because it doesn't happen. BUT, it happens all the time with pit bulls.
I was attacked in my own yard by 2 pits that lived down the street. These pits were running the neighborhood looking for a victim and I was it. The owner of the dogs was shocked when he found out HIS pits would do such a think. He told me they were loving family pets. Just goes to show that pits are wired differently. Additionally, pits are extremely powerful. So a pit attack can easily result in severe and sometimes fatal injuries. Luckily for me that I was able to fend off the vicious little bastards. But what if it were a child those dogs attacked? The kid would be dead.
No one deserves to live in fear of being attacked and maimed by a vicious breed. But the pit bull apologists, like yourself, will put the well being of a pit bull in front of the well being of a child and society. You people really are pathetic. Pits should be exterminated. Period. End of story.
Yet another case of an aggressive pit bull. I know the pit pull apologists will be here soon enough, but there is no defending the breed. These are the same apologists that would suggest that all pedophiles are not bad people.
Too bad this home owner didn't bury the hedge sheers into this pit bull.

Unions have their place but thuggery is not one of them. Representing workers rights is noble. Strong arming the competition is the antithesis to noble. Unions do more to discourage business growth than encourage business growth. Until the unions get this thru their thick thuggery skulls, business will take their jobs elsewhere.
As much as Tressel is adored in some circles, the fact remains that he (Tressel) gave OSU another black eye; the first being Woody Hayes. Tressel may be a great person and he probably has a clear conscience for looking after "his kids". But, he placed the University at risk and possibly in a position of sanctions. In the end he cheated...again. Yes again. Tressel has always been known to cover for his players. He covered one too many times and now must pay the price. The really bad news in all this is that OSU is having to tread water because of Tressel's decisions.

Protester: Chick-fil-A CEO crossed line by supporting hate group
@ IslandMike,
Stalin, Pol Pot, Mao Zedong, Mussloini, Jim Jones, Jeffrey Dahmer, & Kim Jung Il to name a few were all atheists. So what.
The only militants on this subject are coming from the gay community. If you want to find hate, look inward.
