Wayne and Pike counties (in PA) were two of the three fastest growing counties in PA at one point this past decade. Even those counties have become bedroom communities to NYC and its inner suburbs.

Those are not rural backwater towns as a poorly informed naysayer would have us believe. The article has no redeeming or useful value. Is only gossip. But is hyperbolic nonsense that any wackoman would think important.

It's another murder no different than what happened in Harlem, Brooklyn, or Kensington. Had he read the article rather than, as usual, jump to conclusions; Highland Lake is an NYC suburb.

A meaningful discussion to, for example, address the lives of children would have, well, he ignored similar murders occurring inside Philly and NYC. And did nothing to discuss the larger issue – the lives of 20% of the children living in poverty. And the attacks on social programs designed to avert these problems. Facts not relevant to his agenda of sensational while ignoring substantive. Noting his trend was so accurate as to inspire him to waste bandwidth with more insults. Expected from one hyped by the sensational.

Shall we call the Whaaaaambulance for you, tommyboy?

I see nothing but your opinion here. Got anything credible to back up you claims?
The family I have that lives about 5 miles from there would disagree with you.
I've cited, how bout you? nope nothing yet.

Oh and your insults, although poorly veiled, are nothing but the same. At least I am man enough to say it to you directly. Maybe when you grow up, you will too. One can only hope.
Oh sorry, actually you tried that once during your last meltdown when you called a posters wife, a woman you had never seen nor met a "gonorrhea dripping whore." Yes, I still remember and as long as you trot out your hypocritical bullshit I will continue to remind you.

Well, I don;t know about anybody else, but I'd really rather you didn't. Or that you did so in private. Frankly I am sick of it keep coming up.

I'm sick of it too, but I will stand up for myself and point out the double standard each and every time he starts it, especially since no one else will.

No one asked him to come in here and start the same shit again.

Let it be known - There will be no free pass anymore, period.

There are thousands of unwanted kids in the foster system who need you to raise them as their own right this very minute. Oh, or was that just meaningless self-righteousness you were spilling out?

Stop it.
I have absolutely nothing against you, but this eye-for-an-eye bullshit does not match my opinion of you as an intelligent person. I would not let the 4-5 year olds in my class get away with it. You are an adult and I have no way to influence your posting except to ask you politely to stop and think.

Your politics aren't mine. But then neither are TW's. Or Merc's.
So this is not political.
If you are a good man, swallow it. Raking it up over and over is a sly bitch trick. I've done it myself, and always felt ashamed after.

Let someone else be wrong.

There is currently 130,000 children waiting for adopting in the United States. How many will you take?
