The first thing I would do is to try and determine why businesses are leaving, and why potentialRead More businesses dont consider Powder Springs. I have already spoke to some who advised me the government here is next to impossible to deal with starting here, and if here already a pain to stay. What does that mean? I am digging deeper. If Powder Springs has useless regulations that are political, then that needs to change. Second I look to communities that have changed, and improved. Go see the Village Green in Smyrna. Smyrna was a joke and now the downtown is vibrant. Alive and inviting. No reason whatsoever Powder Springs cannot use that same business model and thrive. The company I work for is looking for office warehouse space. I found several nice buildings in Powder SPrings. My broker advised to not even consider Powder Springs. Very sad.

As a business owner of The Book Worm Bookstore downtown, you may think we are all failing but thatRead More is simply not true. There are some good businesses there and we are not going anywhere. I agree, changes NEED to made to our current system of attracting new businesses but there are underlying reasons why businesses fail. More times than not, businesses open with no business plan on how to stay open, ideas that were simply not researched enough as well as not keeping regular business hours which make people stop coming back. Another overwhelming reason for many businesses to fail would be that Powder Springs does NOT support all the new businesses that open. Shopping anywhere once a year or waiting for a neighbor to tell you how they liked a new restaurant or shop, cannot keep a new business open. On the other hand, if you have a business that has what customers want, has good customer service and is priced right, a successful business can be had. I hope you both have shopped some of the businesses yourself, that is the first step to supporting your downtown businesses and keeping them open.

Joel, the speech in front of the Woodrow Wilson Center is even more ironic and scary. Wilson was aRead More scary president because he jailed his political opponents for opposing the war after campaigning to keep us out of WWI. Also, his hatred of black Americans showed no humanity even after blacks voted overwhelmingly for him.

This is exactly why I talk about my inflamed hemorrhoids on the phone every time I call someone! IRead More usually blame it on the IRS!

Pam J, Please don' t assume that Verizon is the only company.....it is everyone of them. VerizonRead More is the only one we have been told about. :(

New cartoon show coming soon to a channel near you "NAMBLA Man" This superhero fightingRead More against all the evil powers that would deny him and his ilk of young male bodies.
EthelToffelmayer June 6, 2013 at 07:18 pm
And yet there has to be something that made you develop that opinion. I'm fascinated to hear whatRead More makes someone develop a personal belief that is so utterly reductive. The "anecodotal (sic) and opinion evidence (whatever that is...)" that created my belief is informed by empathy, compassion, understanding, and open-mindedness. What have you got?
Christopher Straub June 13, 2013 at 09:08 pm
Might recheck history; this nation was founded on religious freedom. You write as if you haveRead More disdain for other faiths, such as the one Jesus was a part of - you might remember, it was Judaism. Thought that was in the Bible - all the iterations, even the politically re-written versions.

Most people don't know that the Trident originally had no eagle on it until the Navy made it anRead More exclusive Seal emblem... as a UDT member from the EOD side it pi$$ed a lot of us off that it was taken away. Seals had buds, basic underwater demolition and we had studs, strategic tactics underwater demolition. Anyway, we should have a cup of coffee, I bet we swam some of the same waters. Nihil Obstat, brother..

Our youth are engaging in acts before their minds and bodies are ready for the acts.

@KJL: My have three children. It never ceased to amaze me the stories they would tell about friendsRead More having oral sex because "that isn't sex"- and about how young the friends were when they started. If information will help us to combat this problem then, yes, we should obtain it. For parents who think this will lead to your children thinking they are abnormal, think again. The fact that their friends are and they aren't already makes them feel that way. And if you think that this battle can be handled in the home, it should- and on every other front we can find.

Frankly, I don't believe anyone NEEDS or has the RIGHT to expect a Bible or any religious book at aRead More state park. I go to enjoy the outdoors. Anyone who wants to bring their own religious text is free to do so. It is not right for the state parks to give the impression that they are in favor of certain religions and beliefs and not others.

that book also explicitly states: "There shall be no whore of the daughters of Israel, nor aRead More SODOMITE of the sons of Israel," -Deuteronomy 23:17
Richard Pellegrino May 25, 2013 at 06:52 am
Stephen: Just because a text explicitly states something does that mean there is only one meaningRead More and interpretation of that verse or biblical text? For example the one you quoted have many different interpretations and meanings, most of which do not even indirectly relate to homosexuality. On another note...you seem to be a student of the Bible and ancient texts, as well as someone who is versed in many subjects. We have small group discussions on some of these topics, sometimes at my home, other friends' homes, and sometimes at coffee shops or other public places. And I often seek out those whose opinions or understandings may be different than mine to participate--not to debate whose opinion is right (though certainly some of that takes place) but to learn from each other and try to find some commonalities. If you think you might like to participate sometime feel free to contact me directly at pilgrim1@mindspring.com (and this goes for other bloggers too).

Look for all you obama supporters y'all need to shut up. There was a ton of evidence, speculationRead More and everything else showing this president and his administration were and are as crookex as a dogs hind leg. Y'all idiots voted him back in at least that what they say I'm still not sure it wasn't a rigged election you know the kinds they have in russia? If there was a picture of president obama snortin coke off the oval office desk and a whore under each arm and him toasting the leader of iran y'all would still worship this creep.

Bush was a honest and loyal president who had morals!!!!
