  Should Towns Have The Right To Curfew Teens From 11p.m. to 5a.m.?

  in one massachusetts city, there's a teen curfew fromm11 to 5. actually, 9 other communities have this curfew in the state.. some are saying such a curfew is unconstitutional.. what's your view?

  if a group of kids took a train into boston, for example, and went to a ballgame, should they be penalized if they are returning home between those hours?.

  The states should get back to governing the citizens of their state and only except money they usually are provided by the Federal goverment as it has always been that way. For education, repair of roads and so on. States have to learn to live within their means just has we do. No more over spending and living high on the hog. There is no need for Trillions of dollars to be wasted. Obama is breaking this Nation because he made promises to his Zombies and Acornics. Some Governors are smart enough to see through this President.

  this is a note i got from an old 'friend' when i contacted her on facebook.

  she was one of my closest jw 'friends' who shunned me, yet would greet me if she saw me in town or at an event.

  i thought she had some independent thought: i was wrong.

  Ask your friend to meditate upon the question of: Is it Jehovah or is it the Watchtower she worships because the two are not the same.

  I never understood why Jesus said he would be back and we are to wait for him...over 2000 years is a little to long, isn't it?

  It takes time to get the Watchtower mindset out of your control....So in the beginning you are afraid to show anti watchtower stuff

  If you were born poor, you never notice, especially if you have a close nett family....it's beans and rice all week except on Sunday...a special day to have meat...my Mom and Dad were good cooks and so our meals tasted good anyway. Sometimes we had oatmeal for breakfast or toast with margarine. It was kinda embarrassing going to school with holes in my shoe. The teacher's never paid any attention to me cause I wasn't in their upper class society. Well that was the norm....so it didn't bother me. Some kids were worse off.

  Later on in life with hard work I made it to the upper middle class and I can tell tell you...It can help to have money and money CAN make you happy in many ways. Just don't let go of your morals and keep your feet on the ground and remember from where you came.
