i don't think it's a waste of money. it's a solution to most peoples problems. we haven't even got the affirmative yet and people are blasting the idea already. the profit sharing is a great idea and a great way to look at this proposal. it's how you view it that determines how you shape your opinion. if you're a disgruntled neighbor living amongst immigrants, yup, it seems unfair to those of us who are natural born residents. but how do you narrow it down to natural born residents without getting sued by the "new citizens" for discrimination? my vote would be for the narrowing down process but that would probably open a big can of worms and delay the payout.

newsreader, you are the scum of the earth, you hide behind your computer and makes stupid, sarcastic comments. my hats off to Cara for putting her whole real name to her letter, for the whole world to see and stating facts as she has lived them. and yes, praise the Lord for He will give the strength and the answers when we most need them. Cara is right, we need to show compassion, have compassion. this town for sure would be a better place to live if we knew a majority of our neighbors were at least somewhat humane.

Good Lord! You people are so mean. May the Lord on mercy on you too, even you filthy trash talking humans.

i disagree with putting the screws to the ex statement. if a man and a woman conceive a child, it's both of their responsibility to raise and care for the child, regardless of what's facing them. if a man were truly a responsible, caring man, and not some beaten down dog (say beaten down by a conniving, hateful and revengeful current spouse)he would help out anyway he could. the appearance of revenge seeking mothers is in the eye of the beholder. mothers who raise their children on their own, on one income, minimum wage, and are too proud to get public assistance make mothers more determined to get help where it should have been all along. i went to court with my child, on the urging of the court and cssd, and testified against my child's father. my child did too and stated how hard it was, not only financially but emotionally too. my child was honest and up front about everything, though that honesty made my child appeared to some as being hateful and revengeful. to hear the honest words of a childs struggle is cruel reality but it needed to be said and needed to be heard. after all that, it feel on his deaf ears. so, after spending some time in jail, he was forced to work. it's not revenge, it's justice for some, certainly for my child who would have no other way to voice an opinion than through the court. granted, it did not have to be that way, but reality is he is truly a deadbeat and the courts helped us by giving him a big nudge to help out where he should have been helping out all along.

"Forced to pay child support"? that does indeed sound like a deadbeat. some people just don't get it. when a child is conceived, the support of that child is lifelong. the monetary obligations are only material. a deadbeat not only skips out of payment, but also on the obligations of being a real parent to the child, being there for the little ups and downs, the milestones, every accomplishment. 216 a month is nothing. if you had planned ahead, you should have been able to budget 50 dollars each week to meet that obligation. and that's almost nothing compared to the custodial parent having to budget that 50.00/week, plus 800/month for rent, 100/week for food & essentials, not to mention utilities, gas, car payment, insurance, sports...all of which is needed to rear a balanced child. i don't have any sympathy for you. i'm on the receiving end of child support payments. i've had to rear my child on my own. thank goodness for my family and friends who helped me out because of my child's deadbeat sperm donor's defiance and stubbornness. he too only had to pay 200/month. big whoop! that was a drop in the bucket for him but he chose to ignore it and let it go into arrears. and still, he claims he's the innocent victim of CSSD. i, too, had too much pride to go on welfare and have always worked, making the bare minimum due to lack of skills for big paying jobs. but i've worked my way up to a comfortable and livable wage now. wah, wah. get a lawyer and stop crying. you don't have the living expenses to meet for your child or children. you should be able to afford a lawyer.

roadtrip, everyone has free will and what they do with that is undoubtly their choice. jonathan is expressing his free will and choice by writing this article and making his choices known to others. village life offers much more to those who chose not to drink or use drugs. why do you think Jonathan is writing about this? because he sees the beauty and value of his country and his culture he wants to change things as he sees them right now. not only for the betterment of his future but also for that of the community. blind people who spent "some time in the bush" come away with just that...a blinded opinion. appreciation of the beauty of culture and nature is not something that you can just pick up after spending some time in the bush, it comes over time and with experiencing all the wonders.

That was the most awesome concert and the acoustics was great. the only time we couldn't hear was when the ladies who downed their wine too fast got too loud, yapping at each other and not listening to Elton. but we put a stop to that. there were 6600 enthusiastic, loud and adoring fans there. the security personnel were a bunch of a-holes, except the young lady who monitored our section. she offered to take a group picture of us. i was disappointed that we did not get a chance to get autographs but the money we paid for this once in a lifetime show to see Elton John was worth every penny! if he came back, i'd shell out the same amount or more to see him again. thanks for the memories, Elton!

Very nice job young man. you have opened a subject that is not easily talked about or welcomed in an open discussion. good for you, for having the guts and nerve to do it. this is the way change happens....sometimes it's slow with 1 person and it'll catch on slowly too. It's a long haul but Keep your faith strong in God, in yourself and in your people and you will prevail. God bless you.

AR_85, why do you drive by laughing? why would any sane person do something so mean and ugly? that's so senseless and dumb! we all have the right to live as we choose. yes, we have a right to speak freely too but that a man made right in the USA. God gives you the right to choose where you spend eternity. what you do here on earth determines that, if you are a God fearing individual. i am an athabascan native who lives among you. i have not fully assimilated, nor will i ever....because i highly value my native traditions and subsistence way of life....when i am able to. i work a full time year round job, pay a mortgage, car payment, insurance and the same prices you do at the stores.....yet, Morris taught us to do that much and still hold tight to our native identity and way of life. the center is all that Kyong has stated and more. thanks for the great article and for bringing it to the public's attention.
On Thompson center will bridge gaps
