is it really worth losing money they could have had if they had caught the native fish? do we really care, its more exciting as to how the fish came to this lake, versus how much money it will cost ppl. i dont like fish anyway, but like how funny this article is.

On Stupak Amendment is an insult to women
Posted on December 3 at 4:56 p.m. ( Suggest removal )
Whats to happen to the women who are rapped and forced to have a baby because they cannot afford to abort it. Whats to happen if a mother may die from complications that will result in bringing the baby to full term? Whats to happen to the unwanted children forced into this world when they have no one to take care of them, and when they will suffer and die from starvation. Some people are not ment to be parents, We hear about this in the news everyday. Parents beating their unwanted kids, or forcing them into prostitution. I do not believe abortion is right for me, but who am I to say whats right for you. Is it not in the bible says judge not unless you be judged? who are any of you christians doing "GODS" work judging others? if its not your life, your body, your soul, who are you to put your two cents in? Women want options, men do not have those options. If a man does not want a baby, then why should a women be forced to keep it too?
On ‘Deadbeat dads’ is term unfair to caring fathers
Posted on December 3 at 4:31 p.m. ( Suggest removal )
My father and his brother were raised by a single mother in Chicago. His father left when he was a few years old. My mother had the chance to be a stay at home mom, until my dad lost his job and she needed to work. She didnt like that so she often found excuses to leave my father to go to her mother's. He eventually found a good paying job, allowing my mom to not have to work. When I was 15 I told my father, after my mother left again that she shouldnt be allowed in our lives since she does nothing for us and often leaves all of us without so much of a goodbye at times. He agreed. He finally told my mother not to come back. He filed for divorce that year and my mother was shocked. In court she told the judge she only wanted to see us in the summer. NO holidays, birthdays, or anything else. She would stay out-of-state where she lived. The court ordered my father to have permenate placement of me and my two other siblings and my mother would have to pay doctors bills or other bills we children may have. My mother has done nothing to support us or provide for us since. I am now 20 and in the last four years, my younger sister who is not 18 yet has not had any support from my mother either. We rarely see her and she is now married to a man where she can stay at home without working. My mother has lied to my sister saying she bought her things, but this was never so. My mother cannot keep a job, and hardly calls. My older sis is in a simliar situation now. Shes a single mother working two jobs, she only has one son. The "baby-daddy" does not work. He has threatened to take my sis to court for child support, although he often refuses to take care of him. My father always took care of me and my sisters when he could, but now my sister needs help because the father wont even watch his son at times when my sis has to work. Yet he threatens her with going to court because she wont pay his bills. I think if a dad or mom is not paying the child support they should, they should be locked in jail and forced to work until it is paid off until the child's 18th birthday. YOu cannot be a parent, unless you act like one.
On Wisconsin settles suit over ABC cameraman’s death
Posted on December 3 at 4:06 p.m. ( Suggest removal )
the family got 85,000. thats more than they coulda got. If he was working and fell, they shoulda had a railing, but he coulda refused to install the camera due to the lack of safety measures. at least there was some compensation. usually the person required to pay the fee to the families is also required to pay court costs as well.
On Girl says father forced her to eat insects
Posted on December 3 at 2:50 p.m. ( Suggest removal )
mice and certain insects can carry diseases that can be deadly. eggs and venison are hardly harmful. if the mother is being charged too, who will take care of the child. yes she is 15, but still too young to live on own. this matter is for the courts to decide.

This is a good idea, teaching abstinence is not enough. teens are gonna do what they want, but you might as well teach safe-sex especially to prevent the spread of STIs.
On Tiny congregation seeks God in a bar
Posted on October 26 at 6:48 p.m. ( Suggest removal )
TO: matthew516,joejack, rocky, maxdetail, and everyone I missed. First I must tell you that all of the religions around the world that worship a form of GOD believe in just that. A God, he goes by many names, he may be a she, or he may be a thing. But God is a belief. We will not know of his true existence until the death, if there be a life after death. The Second thing I must tell you. This part may hurt a little because it is true. Jesus was murdered by the Romans and cannot defend himself. This does not mean he wants others to put words into his mouth. The Bible was compiled together 300 years after the Death of Jesus; a few thousand years ago after CONSTANTINE, (for those of you who do not know who he is, I suggest you look him up) decided to change the religion of Rome. Prior to this men and women congregated in similar to present-day churches of Christianity. These Churches were scrutinized by other religions. (sounds familiar). After the change, women were not allowed to be ministers of the Christian church, or rather the Catholic Church until Martin Luther. This changed Christianity. With the the New and Old Testaments compiled together in the BIBLE it was formally written in Latin. With the Roman Empire expanded as far North as Germania (present day Germany), as far West as Spain, as far East as Constantinople (the city named after Constantine), and as far South as the Coast of Africa, not everyone knew Latin. Therefore, the Bible was translated into over 3000 languages, each changing the meaning of their BIBLE. Changing the meaning of The BIBLE and Christianity. Christianity was split into to Religions: Catholicism and the Greek Orthodox Christianity. It will be divided once again when King Henry 1 of England decided to change the religion of England into The CHURCH of England, with himself as the head of the Church of England and following the beliefs of Martin Luther. This is more common to Americans because this is also known as the Lutheran Church which is one of the dominant church in the USA. The odd part of this was why King Henry changed this religion. He did so that he could divorce his wife to marry again. Which he did 8 times, killing a few of his wives in order to marry again. We cannot forget where we come from if we want to move on from where we are. The Final truth I leave you with is that religion changes everyday: some Priests molest little boys, some Americans believe they have the power to choose who gets married, natural death leaves children without mothers and fathers, and JESUS was BORN a JEW. I am not sure he wanted people to hate one another, or that he cared where people practice religion as long as they do so of their own free will and want to be better people. The same God you pray to is the same God of the Muslims, Jews, and Christians at the Church in the Willowdale Saloon. The difference between them and you is that they are praying in a Saloon.
On Rock County Jail unit gathers gang intelligence
Posted on October 26 at 5:53 p.m. ( Suggest removal )
I personally know of persons who are "gang-affiliated" and their fathers are in their lives and have not been to jail. However, their parenting styles play more into the choices their children have made. They also choose to be in gangs do to peer pressures, wanting to fit in with friends, and the need to belong. You might also want to remember there are all types of gangs and gang violence that the police do nothing about. Such as hate crimes. In high school I remember white "rednecks" or persons identifying themselves as that of doing acts that display hate towards african-americans and latin-americans. There also lies a problem as persons taking offense may retaliate. These "rednecks" may otherwise be good citizens, but their choices to display hate toward others is not good. I think the police did a good job preventing anything from happening at the Rock County 4H Fair. Preventing harm to others is the job of the police.

On 159 pot plants seized at Linn Township home

after reading spudbeach, i realized that murder and rape and crimes against ppl were more important convictions over crimes people do to themselves. it hurts to see the U.S. waste so much money on the war on drugs, but it hurts worse to see money wasted to convict ppl with weed. it only make ppl stupid and fat. which most americans are. besides other drugs do more damage than weed like the heroin probelm or the meth problem or etc. no one has ever died from weed, and yet states are finally realizing making it a medical drug is helpful.
