Shop that sold gun to Newtown mom loses license

@pumpkie: I have to agree...it isn't the shop owner's fault how people use their products. I'm hoping there is more to the story we just don't know about yet.

If something illegal was happening or the shop was failing to perform its legal duties for firearm sales, then yes, shut 'em down.

Scouts considering retreat from no-gays policy

Well, the flaw in that argument is that to chickens, foxes are predators by nature. Their instincts are to hunt for food as a means of survival.

Gay people are not predators by nature. Their instincts are not to molest children. Do some gay people commit such crimes? Yes. Do some straight people do the same thing? Yes. Do MOST individuals of either group molest children? No.

Scouts considering retreat from no-gays policy

Even heterosexuals commit sex crimes against adolescents. Admitting openly gay people does not increase the chances of sexual abuse...if a person is mentally ill enough to commit such crimes against children, it doesn't much matter whether they are gay or straight.

Scouts considering retreat from no-gays policy

I'm happy to read this...equality for ALL is an absolute must during the formative years of our youth. Even if that means parents have to actually **parent** their children by teaching them about acceptance, honor, and respect--even when it involves those with different beliefs or lifestyles.

    Pop Addict Book Review: "Facing the Music and Living to Talk About It" by Nick Carter

    As a huge Backstreet Boys fan, I was little perplexed on reading Nick Carter?s book.  It?s not like reading a book about Elvis Presley or The Beatles. I didn?t live through those moments. I didn?t see them in person. But as someone who has followed Nick?s career since I became a fan in 1998, not just in the Backstreet Boys, but as a solo artist, I?ve always thought we had a lot in common besides being the same age. read more

    Links to Banner-Herald's award-winning sports stories

    The Athens Banner-Herald sports staff combined to win 11 individual awards on Sunday at the Georgia Sports Writers Association's annual meeting in Marietta. You can get a few more details on that in this story ? "Banner-Herald sports staff wins 11 awards" ? and I thought I'd provide some links to the winning stories for the curious. The awards were for the sports staff's work in 2012. read more
