Grammar check that sentence and see whether you're correct.

The way you write shows that you have been out of school for more than thirty-five years. You need to get up to date on comma usage. Hopefully next time you won't be using too many run on sentences. I do expect that from an underprivileged, unintelligent, brain washed, can't think mentality that most democrats have impregnated their bodies with throughout their entire lives. I don't use grammar check, but I might suggest that you entertain the idea of using it.

Quite funny, comma nazi.

Thanks for your considerate offer of assistance, but my writing skills have provided me the ability to employ myself at the disposal of some pretty intelligent people.

I'm not really worried about your criticism.

You're right on all counts. When I posted I thought the same thing, talking out of both sides of my keyboard. Teaching is essential for any society to thrive and survive, whether it be mentors or instructors. I don't know that all teachers lack personal, hands-ons experience in the field for which they teach, but it would give them a better, all round education if they did understand the nuts & bolts of what they pass along in their classroom. I don't think students make that connection in class between learning and future occupational application. At least not during the learning process and a percentage are lost & left behind getting bored and dropping out, academically. They're still attend, but aren't really there.
On-line correspondence classes don't engage the students face to face with interactive education, academically or socially.

Agreed. I think society has become much less civil over the past twenty years as a result of instantaneous communication technology.

We all have the ability to send instant messages, but because of it, the ability to groom interpersonal relationships suffers.

Nonsense. In spite of our technology, we still have to go to the store, still have to attend family and formal events, we still have to work for a living. If anything, technology has put is more in touch with each other.

If I go to my corner bar and strike up a conversation on politics with a stranger, chances are, they are no political junkie. They may know a thing here and there, but nothing that would interest you; nothing you haven't heard a million times before.

I have two cousins who wed because of the internet. A close friend of mine now purchased a new home with his GF, and he would never have met her without advanced communications. While the internet may have it's ups and downs, I think we are far more ahead than we were twenty years ago.

Yes, technology has exponentially increased the opportunities and methods to communicate. I don't disagree with that.

I think that despite that fact, people are less civil than they were when that wasn't true.

That's all

Nonsense ? x.....x.....x..... You don't believe that ? Internet communications afford strangers the opportunity to say things they normally wouldn't say to the recipients face. There's civil disconnect. Would you blame the Net if your kissing cousins subsequently got divorced someday ? You wouldn't go to a virtual corner bar and drink at home ?
Hey.....might be a new concept. You could fall off your virtual bar stool at the virtual bar, drive your virtual car towards home, get pulled over by the virtual local cop & receive a virtual ticket while being run into the virtual police station. A virtual taxi could take you to your virtual home where your virtual wife will virtually chew you out on your way to your virtual bed where you virtually vomit all over your drunken avatar. Virtually ?

Civil inner-personal skills deteriorate while on the Net. Just read alot the postings on this thread, webpage......And we're all guilty of it, one time or another or constantly.
Instant communications does have great advantage especially with scheduling, but it can be a double edged sword. Be careful what you say because once it's launched, you can't take it back....

I know about these keyboard tough guys. Yes, the are all over. While we might be less kind to each other in here, it doesn't deteriorate our social skills outside our virtual world. We are still the same people, perhaps more polite to each other in the real world since we vented our heat over the internet to some stranger.

I've been to a couple of social gatherings from blogs. Had a great time, nice people, and even though you never met them in person before, you feel like you've known them for years. This is because you really have known them for years. LOL! Even a few liberals have attended. So when I go to whatever bar we decided on, I know I'll have a good time because I will be with people who have the same interests as me. I won't find that in a bar of strangers.

So I see our technology as a plus more than a minus. This is not to say everything that goes on through the internet is positive, but we have to be realistic in that it expands our ability to meet and know different people.

That supports Business Owners and Stockholders defying USA Labor Law, The Constitution, and demands of Natural Law: what Mother Nature, God, or Whatever Power decreed to be the reality of the real world, democracy, capitalism, the US Constitution, and free, fair, and affordable commerce and common sense demands.

Demanding every corporation, farmer, business, outsourcer sweatshop, and nonprofit, tax-exempt, organization and Church; markets the cost in the wholesale and retail price of his or her product and service; of every worker, consumer, and taxpayer's wages (union contract), investment and independent business profit. This enables every worker, consumer, and taxpayer to pay healthcare insurance premium or pay healthcare provider. Pay ALL taxes and pay for every product and service they use for life. With money derived from wages, investment profit, and independent business profit. This enables every parent to educate, love, nurse, nurture, discipline, protect, and provide; for every child (job) they conceive. And fund schools, infrastructure, local and national security, government services, and etc.; with money derived from wages, investment profit, and independent business profit.

President, Governor, Representatives of US the Government, County Commissioners, Township Trustees, Mayors, City Council, School Administrators and Board Members.

That pays with welfare checks, food stamps, housing vouchers, and Medicaid.

Defying USA Labor Law, the Constitution, and Realities demands is bankrupting USA. Makes free, fair, and affordable commerce IMPOSSIBLE; Makes funding schools IMPOSSIBLE; Makes balancing every budget IMPOSSIBLE; Makes Union workers, consumers, taxpayers, and Americas grandchildren's children life UNAFFORDABLE; and created Ohio’s $1.35 trillion budget deficit, the $40 trillion social security and the $16 trillion national debt. America’s grandchildren’s children are responsible to pay Chinese, Foreign and Domestic Investors and Stockholders interest with this debt until they are 18 years old.

Did Newcomer Funeral Home have inappropriate communications with Ohio Funeral Board Inspector Lisa Bruns?

Do you think an email where inspector Lisa Bruns says: "I'll get more people to file a complaint" and "you need to write a letter so I can present it to the board" is inappropriate?

Did Lisa Bruns and Newcomer Funeral Home attempt to limit competition by conspiring to eliminate a lawful competitor?

The comment "The Aggressive Dog Wins" and that sounds like someone may be interested in playing BULLY over doing what is right.

Did Funeral Service Insider Special Report by Thomas A. Parmalee report on inappropriate contact between the Ohio Funeral Board Inspector and Newcomer Funeral Home? Is Thomas A. Parmalee working to "Help The Aggressive Dog Win?" or is Thomas A. Parmalee just a fair and balanced investigative reporter? Would a fair and balanced investigative reporter vet his sources or would he weave the words to allude to something other than the facts? They can't change the facts but they can "spin" items out of context and make a sensational story but will it more Thomas Parmalee to some great award? Probably not.

I think you are losing your mind. Businesses beg for government interference so they can up their prices? That doesn't even make sense. Why would any business need government for them to increase their prices?
Having a business in the US extends far beyond cheaper labor. It goes much further. To give you an example, this is what you have to fund if you are a business in the US today:
Workman's Compensation insurance , unemployment insurance, health insurance for you and your employees, paid holidays, paid vacations, match SS contributions, match medicare contributions, OSHA regulations fines, costs and updates, unions, time and a half for employees working over 40 hours, city tax, state tax, federal tax, environmental regulations, and I'm sure I forgot some.
Do you think they have any of this in China, Vietnam, Mexico or anywhere else for that matter? Of course not. This is why companies move out of the US.
Yes, businesses are businesses for profit--not to furnish jobs for Americans. We conservatives have been trying to pound that into your liberal heads for years now. It's liberals who insist that corporations are a social obligation to this country. Commie Care is a fine example of that.

You forgot that they aren't allowed to hire 8 year olds either? How do they get by?

I went to the closest one to my house this weekend (about 10 miles away) because I had the craving for their honey BBQ wings. Once you get those, it's a taste that haunts you forever.
The major problem in America is we are getting too cheap; even with our food. So restaurants cut, cut, cut until their most famous meals no longer has the taste it once had.
As an older person (52) I can remember what a real Big Mac tasted like, a real Whopper from Burger King, a real Big Boy hamburger. These outlets catered to the changing mood of this country which is low quality and low cost. KFC never did that. They taste the same as they did 30 years ago. That's why they ended up closing many of their restaurants. Now I fear Mr. Hero is following suit. The Roman Burger doesn't taste the same as it did years ago either, but now they are offering their 10" sandwich for only five bucks.

Nothing I wrote was a lie. The first amendment guarantees the right of people to peaceably assemble. They wrote that in regards to government--not against private businesses. But even if they did, take note of the word "peaceably."
There is nothing peaceful about strikers threatening temporary workers. There is nothing peaceful about throwing rocks at their cars or accosting them as they cross the picket line. There is nothing peaceful about causing a business grief and financial loss. That is threat, not peace.
Speaking of threats, so-called negotiations are threats. What else do you call them? Negotiations is a very nice liberal word meaning threat. It just sounds....... less threatening. Let me explain the difference:
You are selling a car for $15,000. I want to buy the car, but only offer $12,000. We go back and forth until WE BOTH AGREE on a price. That is negotiations. Now if we had the same scenario, and I insist you sell me the car for $12,000 or I take a bat and bash out all the windows and lights causing you financial loss, that is not negotiation, that is threat.
The latter is exactly the way unions operate. If they don't get what they want, they threaten the business with financial loss. The owner(s) of the business have few options. They either give in or take the loss.
I never said it was illegal, but it's theft nonetheless. If you prefer, we can call it legal theft.
The great Walter E Williams made a similar comparison when it comes to healthcare. He said that if he went to his neighbors home, stole money out of his dresser drawer, and gave that money to the elderly lady down the street so she could see a doctor, is that theft or not? Of course it is. He would go to jail. So why is it not theft when Congress or the President does the exact same thing?
See the difference?

You flunked that government class taught by that un-educated nun. didn't you?

With that, I bring you the words of Thomas Jefferson. "Congress has not unlimited powers to provide for the general welfare, but only those specifically enumerated."
James Madison rang in on it too. "I cannot undertake to lay my finger on that article of the Constitution, that grants Congress the right, of expending on articles of benevolence, the money of their constituents."
While we allow liberals and Democrats to push us further from the roots of our great Constitution, we find ourselves further and further in debt. What is most of our budget these days? Benevolence. Some like to call it the general welfare. Were our founders so insightful that they could see this problem we have today in the future?
So if Congress has no real authority (according to Jefferson and Madison) to take money out of our wallets to pay for Aunt Selma's healthcare, then of course it's theft. If I meet you in a dark alley one night, point my gun at you, and say "This is a taxation, give me all your money!" Is it legal?

How compassionate is it when you forcibly take money from a person(s) to provide that healthcare?
In my opinion, one of our greatest faults in this country is that the so-called poor have much less stress and have better lives in many ways than the working. They can have as large of a family as they want. Working people can't do that. In the middle of winter, they can keep their heat up to 82 day and night and keep the AC on 60. Many working cannot afford that. They could eat steak and lobster every night of the week if they wish. Working people can't do that. And yes, finally, they have better healthcare (medicaid) than many working families.
Isn't that compassionate enough? People who cannot afford these things for themselves are providing it to other people and their family. You don't see something wrong with our system? Even after all that, by not wanting ObamaCare, we are not compassionate.

You don't know any poor people, do you?

The United States Constitution contains two references to "the General Welfare", one occurring in the Preamble and the other in the Taxing and Spending Clause. The U.S. Supreme Court has held the mention of the clause in the Preamble to the U.S. Constitution "has never been regarded as the source of any substantive power conferred on the Government of the United States or on any of its Departments."[2][3]

Moreover, the Supreme Court held the understanding of the General Welfare Clause contained in the Taxing and Spending Clause adheres to the construction given it by Associate Justice Joseph Story in his 1833 Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States.[4][5] Justice Story concluded that the General Welfare Clause is not a grant of general legislative power,[6][4] but a qualification on the taxing power[7][8][4] which includes within it a federal power to spend federal revenues on matters of general interest to the federal government.[9][4][10] The Court described Justice Story's view as the "Hamiltonian position",[4] as Alexander Hamilton had elaborated his view of the taxing and spending powers in his 1791 Report on Manufactures.

As such, these clauses in the U.S. Constitution are an atypical use of a general welfare clause, and are not considered grants of a general legislative power to the federal government.[11]
