This is funny BECAUSE during the Clinton years public schools in Georgia began to use plastic utensils BECAUSE metal ones were unsafe. Even then, they weren't allowed plastic knives ....lol ...

My oldest had just lost her front teeth and she would, if given a whole apple (which happened often!), have to use a plastic fork to gouge out pieces to eat.

Soon, at home, we'll only be able to use picnic forks. LOLOL

The airlines have gone to plastic utensils too. Supposed to thwart hijackers. Once you get to Europe they're metal again.

no one wants to talk about it but most of atlanta's crime is BLACK on(white,black,asian,etc.). this situation is not because blacks are genetically inferior. many "low income,inner city blacks" are however culturally inferior due to the single mother,no husband and father, ghetto,welfare lifestyle.this lifestyle was brought to the black community by lyndon johnson's great society. now obama intends to out great society lyndon johnson.

First she naturally lost them and then once the permanent front 2 came in she did an acrobatic move over the front of her bicycle handle bars and lost those two......so, I suppose that was "self-serve"....poor thing. I WISH a Brinks Truck would come along to pay the medical/dental bills!

......I guess I'M the Brinks Truck. lol

Amazingly enough, Barack Obama did say that "taking matters in your own hands is good if it is convenient and does the job well" and according to law enforcement "coming springtime, many people will soon be doing vigilante justice due to the sluggish economy and rising crime in the neighborhoods" and a number of courts are mandating "citizens taking matters in their own hands to lighten the load on the police and courts and to save money on putting people in jails". According to some sources, this may be Obama's ultimate adgenda in dealing with crime.

These people should get a little bonus. Take a day of Shirley Franklin's pay, the $200 from the city budget that buys her daily roses she probably has grown by a "professional specialized rose grower", a day of Richard Pennington salary and the average cost of jailing the trash that will not have to be jailed, imprisoned.

But then again, I suppose if we do that, Shirley Franklin and Richard Pennington will soon be applying for food stamps!

Yes. I can not get over this. I think that it is amazing that these ordinary people did what they did..........it's like something out of a crime thriller movie, but far better.

Yeah, I seriously doubt either of these two guys were members of the Young Republicans; it looks like OBama and Franklin lost two votes. I don't know why these punks are still out there in the street trying to rob people, when they can kick back and let OBama serve it up to them on a silver platter. It just goes to show that some of them are in it just for the fun.

As it should be. Criminals only thrive where they know there's easy prey. If you look in municipalities that enact ordinances requiring a residence to have a firearm. The crime rates in those cities are extreamly low compared to other cities of same critieria without those ordinances. Unfortunatley the current administration does not believe in th e 2nd amendment and seeks to punish law abiding, tax paying citizens. For whatever reason they don't understand that only law abiding citizens abide by the law. Criminals by thier very definition don't. Making us easy prey if the gov't disarms us. Truely free people are armed people. Law abiding, tax paying citizens protecting thier families and property. One of the founding priciples of this country. Least those that lead forget.

read Psalms 37:11 and Psalms 37:38
I look forward to that day.
I agree with what Psalms 37:11 says. If God has promised to do away with violence and bring about peace to the earth, how do think he will accomplish this?

Daily Horoscope for December 19

Leo

A loved one is being rather tetchy today. It won't take much to get on their nerves, even if you think they're being grossly unfair about it. Try not to make the situation worse by being sarcastic or provocative. Instead, encourage them to tell you what's wrong but without raising their voice. Once you know what you've done to irritate them you can start to put it right.
