The black eyes just keep getting worse for JC. Shame on anyone who takes advantage of young people or anyone for that matter. How low can people be this is way over the line. Is this going to be in the Daily Disappointment?

You all keep talking about what a great place JC is to live and raise a family. It is looking like you might have way more than the average amount of low life’s and cheats. Maybe many of you just think it is a great place because it is all you know. I know that every city has bad people but come on. Between stupid and low life’s do you really want live there it is starting to feel kind of scummy

It could be that Dick Edward's was just trying to make extra money so they could give more money than Jim Clark or Brigg's so they could be the big Sundown Salute sponsor next year.

This lawsuit was filed over a month ago and it took a fringe Kansas City news paper to report it. The D.U. does a disservice to JC. Why doesn’t JC just buy it and call it a city news letter which is what it is. I am sorry but JC just doesn’t get it and I don’t think it ever will.

Isn't it also strange that Rick Roberts, Mr Sales Manager at Dick Edwards, was one of two people that stood up for the three stooge commissioners when they were asked to resign by Scott Johnson back in June.

The article In the Kansas City paper mentions a Dick Edwards Sales Manager named Richard Roberts that is named in the suit. Is this the same Richard Roberts that stood up at a Junction City Commission meeting and condemed Scott Johnson for asking the commissioners that caused the 200 million dollar debt to resign, but praised Rhodes,Heldstab,Tally and acted like Patty Maycroft was the greatest thing ever. I guess all the crooks stick together.

This has been going on at every car dealership across America since the first Ford rolled off the line. Don't think that JC car dealers are the first ones to invent it! When I bought my first new car in KCMO, I couldn't get a loan for the car until I got certain options that I didn't really want or need. It was more of a "we'll put you in this car IF you'll sign for these options", wink wink. I understood the lingo to mean that there was a price I had to pay for someone sticking his neck out for the loan and I paid it. Just get over it already! Nobody put a gun to their heads.

What ever dude cheating is cheating and it is wrong. People all over do lots of things does that make it right. Praying on young services man and woman who don’t have much is wrong. People who think like you are part of the problem we now have with this country. But I guess that’s ok because most people no longer have standers and honesty is a thing of the past.

Let me guess- this crime was perpetrated against you by a black racist, who was part of the black racist conspiracy against you and your ethnically pure BFF, Bruce.
You're on the wrong topic, Tony. Back to the race discussion for you.

You are right about one thing; No one put a gun to their head!

However, when you walk into a business you expect to be treated with fairness and honesty regardless of who you are. If it becomes the accepted standard to allow a business to cheat this country is in more trouble then I thought. The problem is, not more people stand up for what is right and allow this to go on.

Guess the Dick Edwards commercial says it all:

Dick bends over backwards, to pick your pocket!

Something is funny. I have purchased three vehicles from Junction City Dick Edwards and never been treated badly. I compared prices in other towns and found my lowest price at Dick Edwards. I can only speak for myself. From being a soldier at Fort Riley to being a civilian, I have nothing but good things to say. I am not an employee or have any money ties with the dealership. Just wanted to share.

Daily Horoscope for December 19

Capricorn

Someone is being very pedantic and picky, and they'll soon drive you round the bend with frustration. They're splitting hairs about all sorts of petty problems, but unfortunately you won't be immune from this yourself. You might get caught up in needless details that don't really matter, or take everything that happens very personally. Try to be more objective.
