In my opinion, sports that already have international tournaments (ie, football has world cup, baseball has world baseball classic etc) should not be included in the olympics. Teams sports, for the most part, have no place in the olympics, especially if the top players in the sport cannot attend because…

So I guess that 'clinging to guns and religion' comment Pres. Elect Obama made wasn't very far off the mark. I'm sure the next article we read will be about scared folk flocking to their churches to take shelter from the Obama administration...

I'd say that only half of the 108 plants are in that picture. While is does look like a pretty sad harvest I suspect these guys were using the 'sea of green' method whereby you cluster the plants in a small group forcing them to grow up rather than out.…

Too bad. I was hoping we would never hear from this thug again. I hope he cleans up his style and keeps his arrogant mouth shut.

Wow, did you even read my post, or just stop at 'you are wrong'. One sentence later I explained exactly what you were wrong about. I never mentioned 'personal responsibility'. When a sober driver hits and kills a pedestrian they are not 100% at fault (as you claim). However, when…

Sorry, tmarie, you are wrong.

From an insurance stand point the driver is 100% responsible but from a criminal stand point the driver is not 100% responsible. Nigelboy provided a good link. I agree with his point on this subject.

This guy should be tried for murder. He needs to…

This guy should be put through the ringer as running from the scene of an accident is not justified in any situation. As well, there seems to be a mis-guided notion that 'the rules are simply designed to make driver's feel totally responsible' which somehow translates into criminally responsible and…

I have previously stated that I thought the harsh punishments are what cause many of these hit and runs. Rest assured I take no glee what-so-ever in someone being made an example because that doesn't seem to work here as drunk driving accidents continue to happen.

Anyway I slice it,…
