Excuse me for being hot and bothered.

Someone destroyed the air conditioning unit outside our office to get $30 or $40 worth of metal to recycle in order to feed their meth habit.

There are many to blame, but it boils down the the dumbing down of "Political Correctness", It's the thing that threatens America at all levels. It's a Holier than Thou attitude created by the Devil Himself......

Justice costs money (tax dollars).
I dont belive that political correctness is to blame for America's problems.

Your right it's all those that succum to political correctness.

GREED is. And that will eventually boil back down to Crooked Politicians. NOT ALL, it doesn't take them all to be crooked. Just the correct combination of a few. Oh Hell. Look at your recent headlines about judges? How much more evidence does anyone need?

Wow!! We agree on something. Greed is to blame but I think its bigger than politicians. They are mere puppets.

#2.2.1.1 Sheila Tolley on 08/30/10 at 09:03 PM

Well, we need to destroy the puppeteers before they finish destroying America. One state, one county, one vote....at a time.

i disagree wholeheartedly. Greed is not to blame for the people stealing a/c parts.

the entitlement mentality is to blame. people think the world owes them something so when they can't get it through honest means, the resort to the dishonest.

#2.2.1.2.1 Sheila Tolley on 08/31/10 at 07:52 AM

thus: GREED.

#2.2.1.2.2 Sheila Tolley on 08/31/10 at 08:39 AM

And then the GREED of the buyer takes over and says, "bring me more...bring me more" that is where Mean Old Mr. Greed stepped into the picture. I do agree with you on the entitlement concept. But without Mr. Greed they could not sell it.

i see your point there. but you know, they arrest pawn shop owners for receipt of stolen goods. maybe they should go after the people buying the metal too.

#2.2.1.2.2.1.1 Sheila Tolley on 08/31/10 at 08:59 PM

Very good point. They should do that, absolutely, they should.

some call these people opportunists.

Greed is not necessarily a bad thing. Greed is what motivates many people to do good and bad things, it goes back to character.

Greed will motivate many to be a very productive member of society. These people with good character will work hard to make sure their family has what they want and need.

Greed will motivate others to steal, lie, and do many other things we consider wrong. The difference between these two samples is character.

#3 Put them to work on 08/30/10 at 12:50 PM

Great article Yep put them to work around the county. Cleaning out every ditch in the county, putting new coats of paint on everything. I say make them work to make this one of the cleanest counties in Georgia. Plus put them in Pink Jump Suits!!!!

You state someone stole your ac unit to feed their meth habit. Is this a fact or are you just making things up? Its statements like these that scare me. What was it?...........When the lights went out in Georgia.

thats it blame it on the police. there isnt a lot they can do. most people know this. thats why people have security guards, alarm systems, fences and surveillance systems. did they leave a business card who to call for a replacement unit? think about it.
