No worries Nick, you did nothing. Kurt

I also just found this out. Today in Las Vegas a former student at a high school was sspotted at the high school with a gun. They chased him into a nearby neighborhood where they lost him. He has not yet been caught. Kurt

Yes, there was another shooting today. When I found out about it, I cannot describe what went through my head and how I felt. It is terrible! Regarding the shooting in Wisconsin last week. This is what I read in the my citiy's newspaper, and what was discussed at school: The student was suspended from school (for reasons that I am not aware of.) When he was suspended the principal told him that he would not be allowed to participate in the homecoming activites. When the principal told him this, the student reportidly said 'then there will not be a homecoming.' So, he went to the school on friday carring a shotgun and a handgun. When he walked into the school, the janitor got the shotgun away from the student. While the janitor was doing this the principal came towards them, the student broke free from the Janitor and shot the principal three times. He shot him in the leg, in the chest, and in the back of the head. The student got what he wanted, all homecoming activites were canceled for this week at that high school. IMO this kid desreves everything that he has coming to him. Even the being tried as an adult, and having to be in an 'Adult prison.' When is this going to end? This kind of thing has been happening weekly now. Kurt

Have fun at the fair!

Hey guys this is getting VERY close to politics, that cannot happen I would prefer that this topic not me closed. Please try and refrain from discussing politics, please. Thanks, Kurt

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HOWIE!! I hope that you have an AMAZING day and year! Kurt

I am not really sure how much of you have seen the news lately, but in the past month some pretty scary things have been happening: About 3 weeks or so ago, there was a shooting at a college somewhere in Canada, I think some people died, but I do not have a number. 2 weeks, very near to me 3 teenagers were arrested because they were planning on shooting up there school. They had a lot of guns, sawed off shotguns and many other kinds of guns. They also had a napalm like gas, and other types of explosives. It is said that if these 3 students would not have been caught, it would have been worse than Columbine. 2 days ago in Colorado a guy went into a school, and took 4 girls hostage. He ended up shooting and killing a girl, and he killed himself. Yesterday in Southwestern Wisconsin, a 15 year old 9th grader brought a handgun and a Shotgun to school. He shot the Principal 3 times, killing him. To me this is a little scary because it is getting so close to home. But also, in general this is pretty scary. Where will it happen next? When? It could be any where at any time. That is what is so scary about it. And recently it seems like it has been happening more often. Why would someone do somthing like this? Can't family and friends see the signs? Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Kurt

That is awsome! Thanks for sharing! Kurt

Welcome to GA Nick!! Hope to see you around the forums. Kurt

The reason that I did not participate in the scavanger hunt was becuase I was to busy to find the time to find all the answers. I also have not read the stories of all the above authors, so I thought that I would not have done well. I think that you did a great job on the scavanger hunt CJ. I hope that you can find out went wrong. Kurt

I will take the very first one... Hope things work out with Scott for the better. Lots of s. Kurt

Hmmm... CJ, did you make your sig smaller? For some odd reason I thought that that was bigger just yeaterday... I guess that my sig is kind of big... but it just shows how great I think Vance is. Kurt

Go for it, talk to him. There is always the chance that it could turn out wonderfully. Good Luck! Kurt

I do not think that time-management is my problem. I get my homework done for when it is due. I just have so much homework that I do not have time to do other things that I want to do. I do not understand how that has to deal with Time-management, can someone please explain it to me. Also, it is not that I do not understad my homework, it is actually quite the opposite. I understand almost all of my homework except for maybe a few math problems here or there. Otherwise, for everything else, I understand it and all, it just takes time to finish it, do the reading, study stuff, and complete assignments. I am not saying that all homework is not needed. I understand that homework is needed to make students learn. The only thing that I am trying to say is that maybe they are giving a little to much homework. Students have lives that should not have to revolve around school and school work. Kurt

if you can raed tihs lveae a cmomnet!! I can!

Is so much homework a necessity, or a way to control a students life? Okay, maybe not that extreme. I understand that some homework is needed for a student to succeed in everything. But, is so much homework even healthy? This school year I have had about 2 hours of homework a day. It is not too to bad, but egh, I like to do other things with my time... One night, I had 4 and a half hours of homework, I think that that is not healthy. I have other things going on in my life. I work about 20-25 hours a week, I have 2 after school aciivities, and I have friends and a family. This is why I think so much darn homework in not healthy: If a student has so much homework, hey really start to get frustrated and start to hate the subject because all the time they have to spend on it outside of school. If students like the subject, they succeed more, IMO. What do you all think? Kurt

Haha, this was funny! Thanks for sharing Joe. Kurt

I watched the first episode, it was interesting enough... Kurt

A hosted author has written a story based on Charmed, it is posted here at GA. That is a witch story... Kurt

No I do not have one of those. The person below me has to work and/or clean this weekend.

Yeah... this chapter was... wow. The pastor is such an evil man. Wow could someone do that, and think that it is what 'god' would want him to do. It is... sick. It is... wow. It was a wonderful chapter, one that was expertly written. This is why Vance is the greatest Author on the net. Kurt The above is my opinion. (That was for you Vic. )

Haha, that is so funny... wow... Kurt

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DUDE!

This was just a great blog! I hope you have a great day! Kurt P.S. It does help to put the bread in the toaster.
