  1. Re:SC Adult Industry on Craigslist Fights Back, Sues SC Atty General · · Score: 1

    Exactly!

  2. I need to move out of this state. on Craigslist Fights Back, Sues SC Atty General · · Score: 1

    We have so many other more serious problems than prostitution in this state. I'm watching roads fall apart, companies lay off people everyday, I had a guy come into work today that was in his mid 40s that couldn't write us a check because he doesn't know how to read or write, this list goes on. Out of the thousands of people I've met in my life I know of one that hired a prostitute. I don't really judge him for it because he's in a wheel chair and is not attractive at all. He wanted to experience sex. I'm sure not everyone I'd meet would tell me if they hire hookers, but the things is that one out of thousands have told me about it and how can that be morally degrading to our society?

    You know I'm the son of the baby boomer generation. We were promised a lot. We were all told we were special and that we'd have all these new things to do things with and new ways to do stuff. Just the other day I wanted to know where my wise cracking robot was that could do everything like wash the dishes and wipe my backside after eating Indian 4 days in a row. All our generation was left with was a debt that will take us most of our working adult years to pay off, wars for no good reason at all we gotta fix, and new and more complex social problems to deal with. I applaud you for wanting to know where your high def head set is. I would like to know where mine is as well.

  6. Re:Wow, where did they get the money? on South Carolina To Give 1 Laptop Per School Child · · Score: 1

    I went to school in South Carolina for 13 years before going to college. If anything they need to do it's adjust the teaching style of the teachers before spending money anywhere else. I watched too many kids get told on a daily basis that they would amount to nothing. I watched kids get in trouble over and over again until they dropped out of school. No one was there to help those kids and figure out what exactly was going wrong. Now I know it's not all the teachers causing these problems. No telling what's going on at home. But no one knew what was going on at home because know one in South Carolina's school system will ask that question. I had a teacher in high school, all he did was told us to watch a movie while he laid his head down on a desk. He told us that he was 2 years away from retirement and if we didn't cause him a problem he wouldn't cause us one. What kind of system thinks laptops are going to fix problems like that?

  7. Wow, where did they get the money? on South Carolina To Give 1 Laptop Per School Child · · Score: 1, Interesting

    I live in South Carolina and already have to pay an extra $25 road tax on top of my vehicle taxes and watched my property tax double twice in the past 7 years with the complaint that our state doesn't have enough money to maintain it's services. Where did it get the money for this and why doesn't it go to lowering our already outrageous taxes that keep climbing every year?

    I used to walk into public bathrooms with a flash I gutted out of a disposable camera. Used to just set it off when I walked in and maybe hang it over the edge or under the edge of the stall wall and let it flash. It was great the arguments I would get into.

    You're average person in America is very dumb. Constantly I am asked if I sell cable internet, as a person or have people that can't fill out their own check because they don't know how to read or write. It's very sad to see how some people are. Then they blame us for their problems and expect us to keep them up. Shouldn't the weak die off?

    I inherited the house from my Grandfather when he died. It's been in the family since 1845. I can't lose it. It's cheaper to live in this house than to buy a new one or rent anywhere. All I have is power, internet/TV, and cell phone. Taxes are a 10th of what it would cost to rent a place for a year. Prices are so over inflated in this area it doesn't make sense to buy a house either. I also pay $.11 KWhr.
