Ga. police round up 200 pounds of unwanted drugs

@Colonel McCheese: LOL I thought the exact same thing as soon as I saw the title. Unwanted drugs is an oxymoron.

Athens mother takes son out of school to avoid gang

@jhevans: When I evaluate if a school is good or not, I'm looking at the entire picture. This picture includes the degenerates a child will have to deal regardless of their intelligence and maturity level. There is more to a school being a good school than the teachers and classes offered--the environment itself means quite a bit. I went to Cedar Shoals, was in all gifted/AP classes, and don't feel that I would have gotten any better of an education at a private school than what was offered to me there. However, I hated having to deal with the many of the low life students there (many which are now in and out of our jails, one of which has murdered a police officer--Jamie Hood). I felt like I was walking through a jail every time classes changed. Sure I didn't have many classes with those folks, but the few I did have to share such as PE, and just regular day to day contact was enough to make me hate it and consider it a horrible school. It would be like getting a good education in a jail--I don't want to be around those types of people period, nor would I want my children to be.

I remember getting a bunch of negative votes for scoffing at Clark Central getting a school of excellence award. Well, things like this are exactly why I said that. Clark Central is full of thugs that will soon fill our jails.

UGA to honor 'Walking Dead' producer

Does she have any ties to UGA or DiGamma Kappa? This seems kind of random otherwise?

Athens woman fends off pit bull attack

@lawq:

LOL is that because the cat ran up and attacked them or because they were petting the cat? I've never heard of a cat attacking someone outdoors. My whole point is that cats cause no more problems than birds, squirrels, or any other small outdoor critter, whereas dogs can and have attacked people, causing serious injuries. I have NEVER heard of a cat just randomly attacking someone outside.

PS: I've had a pet squirrel, and know several other people that have.

Watkinsville sees thousands come through for Stripling's grand opening

I was so happy this went in a few miles from my house. Their cheddar jalapeno sausage and beef jerky are second to none. Huge Striplings fan here.

[quote][b]Junius[/b] - Why is there no leash law for cats?
[/quote]

Why isn't there a leash law for squirrels, birds, armadillos, raccoons, etc?

Cats don't attack or harm people any more than other animals already roaming free.

The only thing people ever say about cats is that they leave paw prints on cars. Well birds crap on cars too, and that's a lot harder to clean off.

Wheelchair bumps car at Macon gas station, woman shot

[quote][b]Used2baFreeCountry[/b] - If you say that the answer is taking away guns, then you should prove that you are not a hypocrite by immediately getting rid of any guns owned by you or anyone in your house.
No, the answer is not taking away our means of defending ourselves from murderers.
Instead, we should discourage murderers by making them understand that they will face severe and timely punishment if they kill someone.
[/quote]

Couldn't agree more. Obviously our current punishment isn't deterrent enough to stop murderers. Add a slow torturous death over days or even weeks as punishment for murder and I guarantee you people would be a little more deterred.

Or we ban wheelchairs so he wouldn't have been there in the first place or we ban cars so she wouldn't have had a need to get gas. Screw it, let's just go on lock down and no one leaves home without a bathroom pass.

No no no, clearly we just need to start exterminating old people.

Clarke Central named "breakthrough school" by national group

[quote][b]RightWingExtremist[/b] -
Excuse me.
I am a graduate of Clarke Central, where the likes of Keith Strickland, Ricky Wilson, former Senator Brian Kemp, Kim Basinger, and the fabled Darius Weems once attended. And yes, the same school that Eve Carson attended until she graduated in 2004. I was saddened when I heard she was murdered.
I will not have you trashing my Alma Mater, where so many respectable people studied. In fact, 62% of us graduated in 2006. In 2010, that number went up to 70%. This school is a model of excellence. U.S. News and World Report named Clarke Central one of the top 3% schools in the nation, one of the best 11 schools in Georgia, and was ranked in the 96th percentile by Newsweek labeling it as "one of America's best schools." You have no idea what you are talking about.

I was a graduate of Cedar Shoals, where there has also been many people that have gone on to do great things. Sure there's always shining stars from schools around here, but I'm sorry, Athens public schools have gone down the drain. I didn't think there were many that would even argue that fact. I mean there's a reason why anyone and everyone that can, either sends their kids to private school around here or moves to Oconee (like we did). I know many teachers in the Athens school system, and my mom was a teacher in it as well and I've heard nothing but the same story from all of them. When you have schools around here filled with thugs, they're going to suck, period. I would like to see your sources for how awesome Clarke Central is. Top 3% in the nation? In what category? For schools filled with soon to be violent offenders? I call BS on that one. Sorry to rain on the parade. Yes I'm glad Clarke Central is improving, but lets not get too excited yet--Athens public schools still have a tremendously long way to go.

Well it was probably pretty hard to do any worse I would be willing to bet. When you're at the bottom there's nowhere but up.
