Is there really such a thing as "learning disabled"

Former Republican Govenor John Rowland just got out of jail.

why would anyone starve to death in this country ? make a mistake or fate messes up your life, turn to friends and family or a church for help.

One of the kids from the neighborhood I grew up in was rather on the slow side, he is taken care of. He was hooked up with a maintenance job at the VA Hospital and people look out for him. He makes ok money and has good benifits.

somebody would have to be a total POS to have everyone that knows them tell them to go die on the streets.

Most people are just leeching off the system, I saw the scams at the senior center, well to do people signing up for every government handout they could get.

One old guy went to a town meeting an was holding up a sign complaining about property taxes and it said the town is asking him to choose between food & medication. he was already getting a tax break and a big one. But the real kicker was he was living in a $400,000 house crying poor
He could move to Georgetown KY and own a nice home and have $300,000 to live off of. between the interest or dividends off that money and whatever social security and other inocme the guy might have, he was far from going to starve to death or be homeless

the guy could very well have kids and grandchildren with all sorts of money on top of it.yet you liberal types thing the government should take money away from so called middle class people who are busting their butts to make ends meet and help out the old man crying poor

I grew up down the street from a housing project, mostly one big scam going on with those people.

Somebody has to be a total moron to not make in in this country and a total POS to suffer a setback and be told to kiss off by friends and relatives.

The mexicans aren't dying in the streets of america, they enter the country with nothing and can't even speak english and manage to make a go of it.

Well then, perhaps you should be instead arguing for ways to bring more jobs with better benefits to rural areas, rather than whining and crying about Democrats? Just a thought.

Your cherished big business Republicans will hire whomever will work for the least money... such is lassiez faire capitalism. Wake up and stop supporting what screws you.



If this did happen, it would be Republican capitalism at work. Surprised?

If what you're really wanting here is more unionization and more wages for an honest day's work, then argue in favor of that. I would be in favor of both those things, myself!



All that Republican congress ever really did was attempt to force WASP values down everyone's throat while fattening the wallets of the already wealthy. Why don't you stop regurgitating neo-con blogs at me and actually try thinking for a change?



Many prefer to commute. When you live 30+ miles out, the cost of living is much lower, and their wages stretch a lot further.

You honestly think there's no difference in cost of living? That has got to be one of the most ignorant, uninformed things I've ever heard. I mean, you expect that kind of stuff out of an elementary school kid, but...

My apartment in Lexington costs a bit less than $600 a month. Similar quality of dwellings up in the hills would cost me about $300... and similar dwellings in New York would cost me ... what? 1300? (Probably more now, it's been years since I priced it.) Food is much the same. Here, a halfway decent meal at a restaurant runs me about 7-8 bucks, depending on what I order. In the hills, it's about 5. In New York, it pretty much started at 12 or 13 bucks and went up from there. So much for no difference in cost of living, huh?



You apparently still don't, and at this rate you never will. Fortunately for me, I've never suffered from that problem.

I can see I'm going to have as much success winning this arguement as convincing a red socks fan they are an idiot and should get with the program and support the yankees

If you want to spend your life letting the democraps take care of you have at it and enjoy life in a doublewide and working until you're 67 years old to pickup a social security check.

I prefer the republican retirement plan, thankfully it seems to have kicked in at 45 for me.

I don't know. I'm a substitute teacher for kids in grades 1-9 and personally from what I remember, we were doing more advanced stuff than they are.
That's not because I know more now or anything, but I well remembered we learned the multiplication and division in 4th grade, and the 7th grader I had the other week are just beginning with it. I remember being able to read and write quite well when I was in second grade, but there were 9th graders who couldn't even form a sentence.
Perhaps I'm just a genius and they're all dyslectic or it's some other bias, but my overall feeling is that they have become a whole lot softer on the kids today.

That they, overall, have more to think about is there no doubt about.
Everyone get's more and more information per day, so the information overload might have something to do with it.
In medieval times, an architect could build a church with the plans only in his mind.
Look at the construction, decide that we need a stone this size, order it from the quarry, and fit it into place precisely.
Nowaday, all that energy is wasted on other stuff all the time making it hard to even remember the keys.

This is one of the reasons why I like meditating.
