On YEAH for our US Bill of Rights!

Thanks to the foresight of the several states, the First Amendment was seen to be so irrelevant that it is the only amendment in the Bill of Rights never to have been ratified. How ironic?

On Janesville teen club to close

Posted on December 4 at 3:06 p.m. ( Suggest removal )

summer ended months ago. Why aren't they going now? I guess this club became "so last school year" to the teens and wasn't cool anymore? Next complaint will be "there's never anything for kids to do". Somebody tries to do something, and the teens either tear it up or get ADD (PC term for "too damned spoiled to appreciate what you have") because its not new anymore, and it's someone else's fault.

...continuation...self-esteem comes from realizing the accomplishment from your efforts, not from receiving something that eventually will realize you did not earn. If we're going to tie two terms together, I would tie self-esteem to work ethic.

It's not strictly poor parenting, although in probably most cases there is enough of that. It's buying trophies for the teams so each player gets the same trophy whether they were on the last-place team or the first-place team. It's teachers telling parents that they're going to promote the children because they're concerned about the childs self-esteem if he or she is held back. Children see through this and learn very quickly that no mattter how much they're told they have to study/practice/work to earn their way through life, there will always be someone there to make sure they can get by with minimal effort.

Sarahb1. Trying to get someone else hooked on meds now, huh? Maybe then he'll have to rely on the government and hopefully see things in your twisted mindset?

Really Sparky? Blaming Walker for what's happened over the past few years? "Look at Rock County for example. Over the past few years..." Ummm...That would be mostly Doyle's administration.

Hmmm...If you think they're all the same religion, then I can answer your post in one word: Belfast.

Not exactly Christian-like behavior, but clearly a different set of beliefs and more specifically, different god. Some worship Jesus AS God, others as the Son of God. Different religions, using similar symbols. Catholics don't take communion in protestant churches, because of the differences in their religious beliefs. They are NOT the same religion. Christianity is a group of religions of similar, yet at the same time very different belief systems.

Where is the "delete button" on these boards? While the context of my original post remains, I neglected by omission those of the truly largest consequence during the 1980s: the NATO peacekeepers who were attacked in Beirut.
