At 5 ft 6 I was always short. Moving from Boston to Dallas in the summer of 1963...you can tell what hell I went through! Everyone knows what Bullying really is and it should not be tolerated..getting "beat up" is not something that children need to go through ..it's just wrong. But teachers and administrators are often too "timid" to do the right thing:( Folks, we should be teaching our kids to respect each other period...each of us is different in some ways (not even talking about being gay or not) so what the hell is the harm in teaching real respect...after all...we are all human beings, children of God are we not?

Oh so you are saying that we don't make choices ...millions of them everyday...in how we behave? Whose delusional? Sorry but you are:(

No, but it's the same problem...we are at a crossroads...we are in a Depression and it's all made up by The Banks, Realtors & Wall Street...and now "Their final solution" is to stop growth while they soak up all the extra money..sit on it ...and cry in their beer.... This doesn't help matters.... This is exactly what happened before The First Great Depression...folks ...the richest stopped investing... Money is worthless if it doesn't keep changing hands and creates!

Geogetwin, do you pay for your own healthcare? Sounds to me like you do not. I do and I know bloody damn well that someone is getting rich off of the increased premiums I'm paying out each year!:(

Private Sector

If they are so smart (Wall Street & Private Sectory) Why the heck were NO jobs created in August?

He is doing something..Conservatives are doing .....wait for the answer...not much:( Thank you though for your concern:) Why is it good to outsource jobs? And Obama isn't stopping this practice either! You think I'm voting for him? Forget it!

If you aren't retired then you should not sign in as that... And nope I'm not disrespectful but you most certainly are...I'm sure you are a lot younger than I am!

Here's some of what happened during the last Great Depression.... FDR said that he would try different things and keep trying until he found solutions that worked. Yes, some folks did go to work because of the WPA & CCC and a board was formed to organize just how civilian corp would produce tanks, guns ships and jet planes all for the war... BINGO...the government acutally told the private sector to "Get moving"! And that is what we need....someone to say to private industry ...stop screwing around,stop outsourcing jobs and get to work!

Retired Geek... What the heck do you know? Fact is that you don't because you are retired! Sorry chum, but if you aren't "in the scuffle" you have no clue...you are just as bad as the author here...you just do not get it!
