Mr. James is obviously just ticked about not being invited to the wedding.

It's a low deed in my book to conk a brother with a bottle whilst he's napping.

Sounds like he was arrested for something he didn't do...he didn't run fast enough.

@Anonymous Dude: No school is 100% perfect, but I doubt that our area private schools have problems like the one described in this story.

And this is why every parent with common sense or a steady paycheck is yanking their kids from Clarke County and putting them in either other county schools or private schools (myself included).

[quote][b]Oh-brother[/b] - An institution that supports all those wholesome values yet makes some of it's loyal contributing members lie should really examine their motivation.[/quote]
The BSA didn't "make" those loyal contributing members lie. They chose to lie when they applied for membership in an organization that clearly stated its membership requirements and creeds, one of which is honesty.
Look at it like this: If I wanted to join the Girl Scouts and so I claimed that I was a girl so I could join, did the GSA force me to lie...or did I choose to lie?
Neg away...

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

WhiteThe Athens Banner-Herald sports staff combined to win 11 individual awards on Sunday at the Georgia Sports Writers Association's annual meeting in Marietta.

The awards were for the sports staff's work in 2012. read more
