    According to your track record we should take the signs off the street and put the pedophiles on it. You can't be taken seriously.

    badhand said: "To Observer Get over it, if we incarcerated everyone who looked at child pornography over the internet we would be spending at least half of our income in taxes to build and maintain prisons for these offenders. The internet has opened up a new Pandora’s Box. Our society for whatever reason raises more pedophiles that any other society on earth. We are a messed nation and unless we find better solutions than prison we will continue to lose ground on this issue."

    How stupid of me wanting to put people in jail for breaking laws. Especially ones that involve abusing children. Thank you for straightening me out with all of your misguided wisdom.

    "Seventh Circuit Judge Janine Kern noted that Donovan Smith's psycho-sexual evaluation indicated there is a low risk of him being sexually violent or that he would be a "hands-on" offender."




    This makes me feel better about him roaming the streets....

    Sue Ellen said: "Stop your whinning! Keep important documents in a safe place. That should have been taught to you as a young adult. I was told by the DMV that if you have had multiple name changes get a passport and you don't have to have all that documentation. Just a try."

    So you don't mind someone scanning your important documents and FAXING them somewhere else so they can lay around out in the open. Basically any one of these documents is enough to steal someones identity, but they want them all so they can copy them and fax them. Really?? Then they throw their copy into a basket to be shredded later. I took mine with me, but don't know what happened to the faxed copy.

    "South Dakota would loosen its interest rate restrictions and invite Citibank into the state."


    And with that Janklow and Clinton created the base for predatory credit card practices. That just goes to prove Republicans and Democrats can (and still do) work together for the greater evil.

First of all, they only work 9 months a year with summers off. Every day the kids are out of school the teacher is getting paid."



    It sure sounds like an easy job, you should give it a try.

    I agree, but I wouldn't call what they do 'work' anyway. People here should take a trip and visit one of our state representatives sometime, they would be amazed how the process works (or doesn't).

    If you're getting bullied on facebook you're receiving it by choice.

    badhand said: "This poor state will not come up with a law until bullied students start committing suicide or go into a school armed and start killing all those who bullied them. When the story reaches national news then the state will react. Nothing changed in the way juveniles in custody were treated until Gina Score was killed by the state. Too bad this is what it takes before these conservative politicians realize the consequences of their failure to protect our most vulnerable youth. "

    So republicans hate children?

    My children are white (or whatever) and they also deal with racism every day at school. That door swings both ways.
