By now, you've seen the video of a Florida teen severely beaten by several girls.

Two girls from Hurricane High School fear the same could happen to them.

The girls say they've been threatened and verbally abused.

Their parents say they've complained to the administrators, but nothing was done.

Last Friday, one of the girls claims her head was smashed against a wall.

The school's vice principal one girl has been suspended for three days.

The parents took their complaints to the Putnam County School Board, who plan to investigate the situation.

As a former student of Hurricane High, I know that what these girls are saying is true. If the person that should be in trouble is in sports or their family has money nothing is ever done to them. When I was there (not very long ago) all of the students knew that drug deals were happening all over the school, often times in front of faculty members, who did NOTHING to stop it. That school has the problems it has because administration turns their heads and will not listen to the students or speak up for what's right!

The old clice "boys will be boys", let them fight it out. Another example, of a bunch of parents, over reacting, and trying to over protect, their little babies. Let the kids work it out, for christ sake. Keep on fighting their battles for them, and they won't have a freaking clue, when they have a problem to solve for themselves, and mommy isn't there to tell little tit baby what to do. When you make kids little robot wussies, and make them suppress all their anger, they eventually pop a casket, and end up going to school with a gun. When they were allowed to fight their own battles, and work things out, you ended up with well adjusted kid.

Hurricane is not a bad school at all. This happens at all schools around the world I dont care where it is. Hurricane has had a bad past with things such as this and bomb threats, but must I say Hurricane is one of the most highest ranked accidemic schools in West Virginia. Just because of a fight that happens every where, every day people have to make a big deal out of it and make a good school, look bad. Get a life.

Hurricane High School is not a bad school. We just had a few stupid people ruin our reputation. But I would like to say that bullying is not a common thing at all at Hurricane. I can't stand it when people bash the public school system. Get over yourselves. Yes HHS has had problem's in the past, but what's done is done and the situation has gotten much better!

Im currently a student at hurricane middle and I must say that it is out of hand.I was raised in alabama for ten years and none of these things have never happened,and if they did happen they would be paddled or kicked out of school.Not overlooked or suspended for 3 days!

I am a student at Hurricane High School who witnessed the alledged beating and wanted everyone to know that our school is not as bad as everyone makes it out to be. Every school has problems, but ours just happened to get on the news and destroy our reputation.

We took our daughter our of Hurricane Middle School when she was in there. She never returned to public school. She was home schooled at that. Trust me they tell you what you want to hear while you are there. I cannot even imagine what it is like now. I have grandchildren and dread them going to public school. My daughter did just fine at home and attend college now with a 4.0

Do something about the bullies.. This situation is getting out of hand.. I have a child who attends HMS and is bullied all the time, has come home with bruise and one time hit with a belt by another student.. We have been the school countless times with little or no results. All we get it will be taken care of .. then the next day it happens again.. If I would send my child to school with bruises what action would be taken...a call to the child protection services... should child protection be called on the school? are they doing their part to keep my child safe. My child has become afraid to tell us about the bullying, because of the harrashment and bullying received after we make a trip to the school.Each week we discover more bruise.. School should be a safe place to learn not a night mare..

To Jennifer who asked about the wisdom of bringing media attention. These 2 girls have more courage and ethics than the bullies 1) they are speaking out against the bullies and 2) they are going about this in a LEGAL manner. The bullies obviously pick on the girls when there are not any teachers around. Thus proving they are the cowards! Cowards do things when they think they can get away with it! Another point, think about victims of any crime they are afraid to speak out but some of them muster up the courage to speak out. This will get the attention of others to speak out against the bullies!! If you see them being bullied STAND UP for them. Be the hero!!

These bullies typically grow up to be cops. Then they can continue their bullying ways through police brutality.
Posted by: Anonymous on May 7, 2008 at 10:08 PM
ya know if i knew these girls who are getting picked on i would stand up for them. and if i knew who the girls who were doing the bullying i would definitely kick their butts for doing it. no I've never teased anyone thank you. i sit back and mind my own dang business. yeah i think its wrong but what am i supposed to do when first off i don't know the girls and second off i wasn't a witness to it. i didn't even know about this until the day it aired on the news. YEAH THANKS! don't judge people by what they write on this .. this is for opinions about the topic not about what comment someone left. yeah i believe that they need to stand up for themselves because if you go to hurricane you would know that when people say they are going to do something like that, NO ONE DOES ANYTHING! so yeah i think they should stand up for themselves.
Posted by: Glenda on May 7, 2008 at 09:20 PM
I have to agree with most of the posts here...it boils down to parenting. 3 days is not enough and I thought WV had a zero tolerance for bullies. 3 days is just a vacation to a kid like that. I don't think they should ever be suspended or expelled. The kids enjoy it. More time for internet, television, etc. They need to stay at the school in the principals office ALL day and do their work. They aren't going to like that at all. Remove them from the mainstream but keep them at school.

I agree that these kids get by with this crap because their parents are idiots. I say kick these bullies out of school because their just on their merry way to the welfare office when their 18 anyway. They are raised ignorant and their just gonna turn out a bunch of welfare bums anyway dont let those skanks rub off on our children!!!

How do you stop a bully? Let's face it. The schools boards really do not care. well they do but only in the legal sense of avoiding a lawsuit. The people running schools today are in it for retirement only. They want to process kids through the standard generic lesson plans because the law requires it. You'll find that there is only a small handful of teachers that are in it for the love of teaching. They can only do so much. The rest - play favorites and try to treat these kids on the same adult level. Hello! They are not adults! Since when does beating someone up - really proves anything? Parents go to youtube and look at various videos that teens put up of them kicking the crap out of each other. Lots of other wild stuff you'll see there, too. Be warned, it isn't pretty. But wake up everyone! Pay attention to what your kids (our kids) are posting pictures about on Youtube, myspace, facebook and countless weblogs. And the kids will lie about it to you, but pictures don't lie.

I graduated in 1983 and all durung my high school years i was bullied. I eventually said enough is enough and hit the bully in front of his friends. You will be amazed at how quickly they back down. Make a stand and be willing to accept the consequences of your actions. I bet they will be few if any. Tell the principal he decided not to do anything so you have taken care of the problem!!!! We need to stand up for ourselves more.
Posted by: Nadine on May 7, 2008 at 12:55 PM
No one should be blaming the principal, school board members, or especially the VICTIMS for this ongoing bullying. The parents of the bullies should be held fully responsible. Kids act like their parents, or how their parents instruct them to. It is heartbreaking that so many teens commit suicide and bring guns to school (go crazy) because of bullying. But I remember what it was like. At the time, nothing else matters but ending the bullying. If only we could convince the kids that after high school life goes on. You never have to see any of them again if you don't want to. And for the bullies to understand, once high school is over you will never make it in the real world. Bosses and large corporations do not tolorate bullying.
Posted by: Anonymous on May 7, 2008 at 12:46 PM
These bully need to think after school is over and they are out they will grow up and have kids of there own and they need to think and ask there self a question. What if one day your child is being bully how would you feel.
Posted by: Jack on May 7, 2008 at 12:33 PM
I have to agree with Billy Fannin. If UTube was held responsible for what is shown there, a lot of this wouldn't be happening. Like anything else there has to be demand and supply.
Posted by: Michelle on May 7, 2008 at 11:41 AM
Ok. Are we forgetting the fact that most of the school fights anymore are advertised on YouTube or some other internet site? Why don't the parents take away the cell phones with cameras and the regular cameras and computers from their kids or put the parental controls on their computers? If the kids can't act right with what they are given, take it away. If you want them to have a cell phone for their safety, get them a kiddy cell phone that only calls home and 911. Block the stuff on their computers. BE PARENTS!!!! Bullies have been in schools for YEARS. We might not be able to get the bullies out, but we can take the "coolness" out of being cruel to other people by not letting them have the tools (i.e. camera phones) to advertise this stuff on the internet and have their friends and other people make them feel "cool" or "bad" by doing it.

I am so thankful and fortunate I went to a small school. Yeah, we may not have the option to take all the classes the bigger schools offer, but with Buffalo, there is such a wonderful atmosphere, where almost everyone is friends w/ everyone else. It's like a team where eveyone works together.
Posted by: Phyl on May 7, 2008 at 09:45 AM
I am not at all surprised about the comments I have read regarding bullies. They are in the school systems - whether we like it or not. The "educated idiots" of which I am proud to say I am a retired one, can not solve all problems. True, many times the school systems does not react as fast as we would like! There are steps that have to be followed. We may not like these steps, but yes, some of these kids get chance after chance. Yes they are suspended, documentations has to be done, juvenile petitions need to be filed, and then there is a meeting to see if they qualify for alternative school. I'm not saying that we need to physically fight back, but something needs to give as far as the bullies being able to beat the system. They know how to work their parents, the school system, and even the judicial system. Some of these kids would brag about going to court and all they would receive was probation. Not all of the bullies are trouble makers, some are considered the best and brightest!

These stupid little punk bullies school systems are not wanting to take action because they affraid of them as well. I have a friend where she was bullied the mother went to shady high three times they said, "THERE JUST KIDS ITS A PHASE THEY WILL GET OVER IT". Then one of the bullies father beat up her boyfriend then the school still didn't take action then they tried to beat her up and she called her mom and the teachers were watching and because of the bully pointing a finger in an adults face the mother pushed her hand away and the school pressed charges on her. THESE KIDS ARE LIKE THIS BECAUSE OF THE PARENTS. Schools don't want to get involved but one you do they will sue you. I think pay raises for teachers and schools need cut since there not benefiting any help for kids and they sure arent learning anything. I would love to put all of your stupid punk bullies in a room and give them a dose of their own medicine....Paybacks suck.

You have hit the nail on the dead. I have raised my kids, that if they would ever tease someone, I would be so dissapointed in them, and would hurt my feelings. My children have nice things, and those nice things could easily disappear as quick as they appeared, and they know it. If I would ever hear my child making fun of other kids clothes, I would take everything out of thier closets, except one outfit, and I would make them wear it for two weeks straight. My kids know I would do it too. I assure them of this fact frequently.
Posted by: Anonymous on May 7, 2008 at 08:29 AM
After being picked on in school because my parents couldn't afford the name brand cloths, I can understand what's going on. I never told anybody because I was to ashamed. I didn't want anyone to know. I felt so alone. I had very little friends in school and I just didn't want to be there. I hated school because of this. I did go to an alternative school one year to make up credits from the previous year absenses and when I was there, I fit it. I had friends there. Friends that had my back. Things for me never got to the point of the girls in Florida but to this day, I regret not standing up for myself. Fight back, do not live a life of regret as I have. Take a stand. Anonymous at 11:38, if you're so tough why don't you stand up for these kids. It sounds like you're a witness, how about bringing that to your beloved principle's attention so he can do his fine job. I'm also guessing that you have done a little teasing yourself huh? Why don't you take a stand and go to bat for these kids?
Posted by: Anonymous on May 7, 2008 at 08:19 AM
Bev, you nailed it on the head. 20 some years ago I had a bully for the better part of the year and my favorite fantasy involved a shotgun and his face. Some people don't want to fight with a bully but eventually enough is enough. So instead of the Mayberryesque fist fights that some people are advocating here, the bullied brings a weapon to even the odds a bit.
Posted by: Joe on May 7, 2008 at 07:49 AM
Hey anonymous, Kids go to school to get an education not to get bullied and have to "stand up for themselves." This isnt a prison camp it is an educational system. If the kids doing the bullying are effecting the education of other kids, the bullies need to go. Your attitude is what leads kids coming to school with bombs, guns and death wishes. Adults should remove the bad apples from the system.....
Posted by: Donna on May 7, 2008 at 07:41 AM
I SAY, send the GIRLS that are causing all the trouble to some kind of military camp for a week and see how they like being pushed around!....MAYBE THAT WILL WAKE THE BRATS UP!
Posted by: A on May 7, 2008 at 07:28 AM
I agree send the Bullies to lock up !! See how they would like to be treated without respect.... Bullies are IN ALL SCHOOL'S. I hate it for the girls that are being tormented it is no fun. ALL you have to do is go to your local state police they should do something about it. God Bless and I will keep you in my prayers.
Posted by: Mike on May 7, 2008 at 06:04 AM
parents have taken their complaint to the School Board. Why did they not file charges for assault and battery. Then complain to the school Board.
Posted by: putnam co on May 7, 2008 at 02:49 AM
Replace the teachers send the bullies to juvanale and give them a taste of what being locked up is all about.
Posted by: Bev on May 7, 2008 at 02:16 AM
Three day suspension? Why don't they just slap her hand and make her promise to be a good girl? This is why kids do not want to go to school. All this crap about "Safe school zones" is just that. If they tell on these bullies they are told to "toughen up". If we do not want another Columbine we BETTER do something NOW.
Posted by: Anonymous on May 6, 2008 at 11:38 PM
You know what. I go to Hurricane High and yeah stuff happens like that. But these two girls need to stand up for themselves. Half the people who talk crap to other people just try to look bad in front of their friends. If these two girls would stand up for themselves they would more than likely stop making fun of you and what not. And to all the people talking ab out Mr.Hart(principal) it has nothing to do with him. He has enough to deal with and not just a group of girls not being able to get along. GROW UP AND ACT YOUR AGE. Seriously, you're in high school. We don't need a new principal, Mr.Hart is fine! He just can't do anything if there is no visual proof of the fight. For all he knows it could've happened at the bus stop or off of school grounds then he has nothing to do with it. Threats are going to be made in school, or at home, on the computer, or through and text message .. get over it. stand up for yourself. have some respect for yourself!

Educated idiots sums up most teachers found in the goverment education system. What educated person spends 4 years in college to be a teacher then complains about the low pay? Did they not know about the pay before wasting money on an education degree? Now you actually expect these same people to be able to deal with a real problem. All dictators are bullies. The only way to deal with a bully is to beat the crap out of them. Break the cycle. To the panty waist who says "fighting never solved anything", explain that to the Europeans who were freed from Hitlers rule. Some people do not understand anything but violence. Never depend on a county employee to do anything productive. Take care of he problem yourself. Warning, this may require fighting. This may require a man to man talk with the father of the bully. I am sorry, in this age of fathers not acting like men (30 and 40 yr olds playing video games, wearing their pants below their butts) this may be an impossible task.

Putnam County School System Needs To Clean House!! What's sad too is the verbal abuse that some of the Putnam County teachers dish out with nothing being done or said to them. This verbal abuse takes place right in the classroom in front of everyone without any respect for the students! How can they ever complain that the students are disrepectful when they themselves display such behavior. When the students see/hear teachers acting this way...people they should be able to look up to...no wonder they are acting out in such violent ways.
Posted by: fed up with the school system on May 6, 2008 at 10:33 PM
There is a definite problem in Putnam County--Middle School level with past principles Mr. Messinger/Mr. Barber, now Mr. LeMaster AND high school level (our particular issue was with Ms. Welch). My husband was once told by one of Putnam Counties finest principles (NOT) that when our child got on the school bus each day, our child was then in the school board's custody! Scary thought, huh?? Our child was bullied for years. We always taught our children not to fight. After awhile, the bullies realized this and the harrassment worsened. After being taken to the hospital one day, we changed our way of thinking and from then on taught our children never to start a fight, but if someone started on them first..."LET THEM HAVE IT WITH ALL YOUR MIGHT AND MAKE IT COUNT BECAUSE YOU MAY NOT GET A SECOND SHOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Educated idiots is the best way to describe most of our educators! The bullies need their butts busted by their parents...forget about what Spock says!!!!!
Posted by: former HHS student on May 6, 2008 at 09:54 PM
please i went to school with a girl who supposedly had a hit list on the football and boys track team along with others at the school, she was suspended until a psych eval was done on her. my brother was on a hit list in middle school bc he was smart and on the football team. we both survived hurricane hs and now we are sucessful college graduates. there were plenty of girl fights and threats and all was dealt with by the principals to the best of their abilities. school officials cant touch a student there would be lawsuits in a heartbeat. so ask for your officials to do something and i guarantee if they tried to help you would slap a lawsuit in no time. so please let them do what they are allowed to do within the laws (which by the way, you parents pushed to have because you thought that the school officials were doing then and look what is happening now--they cant touch your kid with a ten foot pole)
Posted by: Linda on May 6, 2008 at 09:11 PM
What is wrong with the principal? He is supposed to be in charge and if he can't handle the job maybe they should find someone that can and will. we should be able to send our kids to school and rest assure that they will safe. Doing nothing only makes things worse. These girls will not stop until they are made to stop. I say send them to alternative school for the rest of the year and look for a new principal for next year.
Posted by: Amber on May 6, 2008 at 08:08 PM
I think it's a shame that kids have to be scared for their lives at school.! I went to hurricane high 2 years ago. I dropped out for the simple fact that you have to be rich and preppy to graduate that school. No one ever messed with me cause i didnt let them but i think there needs to be more staff there at hhs. In my eyes and gods eyes we are all the same. We shall not be treated differently because we are poor or not popular. WE ARE ALL GODS CHILDREN! Are we or are we not.? This is crazy that it had to go to the news because hhs wasnt solving the problem. WHAT IS THIS WORLD COMING TO????
Posted by: Anonymous on May 6, 2008 at 06:42 PM
Well the florida beating of the teenager was horrible. I dont think any of them girls should even be out of jail.. People Like that are scum.. And for the two teenagers that are being threaten they should of told someone... And after this hole thing hitting the news it might get worse.. But the two teenagers should press charges if the other girls do anything.. And two the girls that are trying to beat up on these two other girls.. You better think. Because if not I guess your parents will see you in jail. That will be a nice strike on your personal records... Have fun getting a job after high school. Because you wont be able to.. Your lifes will be horrible.. And all i would do is laugh about it.. Because you try to be cool and threatin these girls so you can put it on youtube..
Posted by: Kasey on May 6, 2008 at 06:14 PM
I blame the parents of these 'bullies.' It is crazy how these kids get away with things like this. If it even came down to my children getting bullied to the point that going to school was uncomfortable that is when I would make the parents of that child uncomfortable. It makes me sick!
Posted by: TS on May 6, 2008 at 04:57 PM
I think it is a shame you can not send your children to school without them being teased and called names and the threats of fights. If you don't fit the popular kid's mold then they make fun of you. This is a lasting impression on people who are developing and trying to find their way. This causes low self-esteem and other unhealthy impressions of one's self. What happen to the "Zero Talorance Policy"? I'm tired of my child coming home and not thinking he is worthy enough. He is called a "wigger" and several other racially triggered names. He is white and a very good kid and likes to wear his clothes a certain way and I'm sick of other people with racial issues always picking on him. SHOW RESPECT TO OTHERS!!!!! YOUR NOT PERFECT BECAUSE YOU WEAR AMERICAN EAGLE!!!!! I would rather have my kid any day. At least he has respect for other people and doesn't make fun of them because he feels inadequate and has to belittle people to make himself feel better. WHAT ARE THEIR PARENTS LIKE
Posted by: Anonymous on May 6, 2008 at 04:46 PM
The "credible third-party" thing is the case in a LOT of situations like these. Not just at Hurricane High. Not just in Putnam County. Why? That's the million-dollar question. If I were WSAZ, I'd start asking the school board in just about any local county why this is true.
Posted by: bbv on May 6, 2008 at 04:42 PM
The reason these girls runs with a group is because they don't have the gumption to fight one on one. Maybe the parents of these girls have issues as well or they , the parents,would step in and stop it. I know I would if it was my child. Remember when you got in trouble at school you got it worse at home. Whatever, happened to those days?
Posted by: EP on May 6, 2008 at 04:31 PM
Girls/boys being bullied and having their life threaten IS NOT NORMAL!The persons bullying want to cause problems & should be held accountable. The staff should be held accountable as well for allowing such a horrible offence to go on. Maybe the school staff should be sued for allowing endangerment to students. If they were held responsible then the fighting and gangs would lessen.Along with this issue, whatever happened to the girl that brought the air dart gun to HHS? What about the fight where the teacher at HHS threw the boy into the other boy and crused and said fight it out? What is the deal with the janitors pulling students from class to do their jobs What about kids having sex at school while teachers and adminstration just look the other way.HHS must have a weak staff for this to have continued.I'm sure there are some good teachers there but the Principals are the ones to take these matters into their own hands and be held responsible.Good Luck, will be watching for the outcom

And another thing, one of the 8th grade girls who bullied me many years ago is now a police officer -- ironic, huh? She knows who she is. I'm glad that she changed her ways AND friends and put her life to good use. I get a sick feeling in my gut every time I see her. THAT is what bullying does. It affects me to this day. DO NOT let this continue.
Posted by: Violet on May 6, 2008 at 04:19 PM
I was a victim of bullying by 8th graders when I was in 6th. I'm in my 30s now. It was a whole gang of girls. I remember the feelings vividly and feel for these girls. The fear of walking in the halls, going to the bathroom, on the bus after school -- no one should ever feel that way. My grades dropped and it ended with a full blown fist fight with a girl I'd never spoken to. I'm glad the mother is speaking out because that is about all she can do -- legally that is. I sure hope she happens upon these bullies with no witnesses. Knowing how it changed my life, I'd NEVER let my child experience it. The administration needs to nip this in the bud ASAP before something really bad happens. If it were my daughter, I'd be her personal body guard everyday and I'd bring along my Louisville Slugger for batting practice after school. This should not be allowed to continue and if it does, the parents have no alternative, but to take care of it themselves.

I went to school back in the day and things like this happened but it was never as bad as it is now. Kids are cruel. Just sitting on my back porch listening to how they talk and acted has changed so much since I was young. When I was a kid I acted up but never would I do it in front of adults. These kids are disrespectful. Kids today have no respect for their parents or there peers. I think it needs to start at home. Teach your kids to have respect bust their butts. Make them stay in their room, take away belongs. Dont wait until they become a teenager and try to start taking control. My personal opinon is that our youth today have too much and dont appreciate anything!
Posted by: jm on May 6, 2008 at 03:09 PM
It is about time we do something about students being bullying. The admin. IS responsible for the safety of students. What I see is the teachers and staff are afraid of the students. So the allow the bullying to continue.
Posted by: Me on May 6, 2008 at 03:00 PM
This happens every where. I recently had to try to get help for a certain situation where my son was being bullied at school. It was a complete nightmare, everyone just wanted to pass the buck.

I posted a comment earlier today...earlier than the ones shown below with the times of 10:21am and 11:09am. However, mine isn't posted as of yet. My question is why? Is WSAZ too concerned about the reaction of the rich and famous of the Hurricane area to post it? As mentioned before, I don't know the individuals involved, but I have personally had issues with the Hurricane district schools. It's all about who you are and what you have!!! If Teays Valley would get a hard rain storm, half of the population would drown because of their noses being up in the air!

We will be in prayer forthese two girls and for the bullies that feel it is necessary to do this to them. Its a shame that these girls cant feel safe at school.
Posted by: Ree on May 6, 2008 at 02:09 PM
Jennifer...public ATTENTION, yes. If the stupid school isint gonna do squat, parents need to do what they can. I hope they sue the school for turning their backs. Punk teachers & officials. Put me in the hallways & on school grounds....& watch predator become prey...

This is also happening at Hurricane Middle School, My grandchild had to leave that school with a little more than a month to go over bullies, they tormented this child, and the principal acted frustrated and like I was burdening him to even discuss these bullies, I had several meetings with the principal and this did not even attempt to stop these bullies, sounds to me like Hurricane has an all around bully problem
Posted by: Renee on May 6, 2008 at 01:45 PM
This is another prime example why public schools are a total let down! This is also another reason why I send my kids to a private school where they are taught to respect one another. More people should stand up to this and demand better care and supervision of the students in all schools!

How can the administration let something like this continue--especially when this particular gang's assaults on students at Hurricane High are being recorded and posted on YouTube? Is the recorded act not sufficient evidence of their conduct during the school day? The "zero tolerance" policy states that such behavior will not be allowed. Suspension is clearly not the solution for this group of females, due to their repeated disregard for others, as well as the school's rules. No less than automatic and immediate expulsion to an alternative learning environment should be mandated for this posse in order to keep innocent students from being victimized daily within their educational setting. What happened to the 'safe school act?' I am appalled that Putnam County officials are continuing to look the other way while students are being threatened and harrassed continuouly each and every weekday. Why is this group allowed to run rampant? Are they threatening the administration too?
Posted by: Barbara on May 6, 2008 at 12:44 PM
Those two girls need protection and it is up to HHH administration and staff to provide it. Every child is entitled to attend school and feel safe. Those doing the harassment need to be removed from the school. When a threat such as "slit your throat" is made, I would seriously be concerned for my child. Anyone bold enough to make such a threat could be bold enough to carry through with it. How frightening for the parents involved. Action needs to be taken before a major tragedy occurs.

These kids need to learn to fight back. I did see the video of the girl in Florida and that girl never took a swing to defend herself. I think that I would rather have a taken beating from my mom and dad for fighting than to live a life of regrets of not standing up for myself. Fight back, defend yourself. I know people tell you not to hit but you have to take a stand.
Posted by: JD on May 6, 2008 at 12:02 PM
Students that are doing their best to get a good education are being penalized these days for doing the right thing. It's time that the so called "popular kid gangs" be stopped. Aren't there alternative schools for these types? What about the Bullying Act? These two girls need a safe environment in which to learn, and it is up to the school officials to provide that instead of turning their heads. Protect the innocent.

Girls fighting with each other at a local high school is not news. This is something that is completely normal.
Posted by: AMY on May 6, 2008 at 11:27 AM
This is terrible to hear that this is going in our "our" community. Something needs to be done immediately about this situation. Schools are just getting too big...not saying that it doesn't happen in smaller schools.
Posted by: Jennifer on May 6, 2008 at 11:09 AM
Do you really think its wise to bring this to the publics attension? Im sure the students at that school probably know which two girls this is and the bullying will probably get worse after this. Hopefully, this will open the eyes of the administration and they will make harsher haizing/bullying rules and take threats made against the victims more seriously.

This is a outrage bullying needs to be stopped period the girls doing this need to be put in an alternative school until they graduate I don't condone this behavior the maximum punishment should happen these threats should be taken seriously suspenions are only a vacation from class I find this rediculas and repulsive enough is enough stop the bullies bullies don't win

i think girls need to grow up. What is the point in doing this. Like the florida video that was so horrible.. All i can say to the two girls that are afraid is if they touch you. Press charges. If them girls cant grow up. Thats there fault. But dont let them just hit you and beat you up. Defend your self.

She got out of school for 3 days, wow some punishment, what about alternet school, how long will the hurt kid be out of school, and how long will it take her to over come all of this, put the ones that did it, in alternet school, and no, not just one, all of them. Three days isnt nothing at al. Alternet school is just for kids like that...
Posted by: anonymous on May 6, 2008 at 08:40 AM
The Hurricane school district SUCKS!! My family has fought the system on numerous occasions over the past several years. The schools are full of Lexus, BMW, Audi, Mercedes-driving snots who think they are better than everyone else. It's all about social stature, and the lesser human beings seem to get shoved through the cracks!! Please note, I'm not condemning all of those who drive the above mentioned cars, but take a look around the area and open your ears...you'll see exactly what I'm talking about! I don't know the individuals involved in this situation, but in ours, the principles/teachers need some backbone and need to stand for what's right and not be concerned about what an individual's last name is!
Posted by: Jon on May 6, 2008 at 08:30 AM
This type of thing is getting way out of hand. The parents of the threaten girls should give up letting the school handle it and take it to the police. I was in their shoes back in high school and going to the school only made it worse for me. The school I went to tryed to handle it by talking to the kids that were doing it and that only made it worse. They needed to call in the parents and talk to both but they didn't. I know things have changed but unless the school involves the parents then this will go on. When a kid can even got to school without being bullied then the school system has failed the child. Parents need to teach their children from an ealy age that this is wrong. And teach them not to follow the crowd be their own person.
Posted by: Ashley on May 6, 2008 at 08:26 AM
Do you people really think that suspending a student for 3 days is really going to make that big of a difference? The chances are is that it is going to happen again.
Posted by: Debbie on May 6, 2008 at 08:00 AM
suspended for 3 days for smashing a students head against a wall? expel them and make them go to an alternative school. I bet they'll find out how "bad" they really are.
Posted by: Me on May 6, 2008 at 07:57 AM
I hope the parents are able to get something done. My son is a special needs student who once attended Cammack Jr. He endured a solid 3 years of bullying. If you read the school bullying pamphlet that is distributed each school year, there are no "teeth" in it. The principal was the worst. When my son was in a bathroom stall, others tried to pull his shoes off underneath and spit on him over the top. The principal wanted to punish him for not doing his work the next period. He needed to "get over it". "bullying is a part of life" she told me. I told her that if she were to be accosted in the bathroom, I'm sure she could not get back to business as usual so quickly and would likely call the police. Our kids' rights do not stop at the door. I threatend that I would call CPS if they continued to "neglect" my child. Further, I would have her arrested for as an accomplice. He did not return the following year at that school, but she cant help others at her new school.
Posted by: poose on May 6, 2008 at 07:35 AM
Well of course nothing is being done! What do they expect? School systems are the most bully-promoting places in this country. The fact that they have these so-called "anti-bullying programs" is an absolute joke. Do they really not know that children model the actions of adults? They don't just act a certain way because you tell them to. Wake up.
Posted by: Parent on May 6, 2008 at 07:27 AM
I just don't understand kids these days! Bullies have always been around, but now they take it to such extremes! If my kids were bullying classmates at school I would want someone to let me know so that I could try to help fix the situation.

  • Posted By: bonn: I would like to apologize if I have been short and critical. I really am sorry. It is no excuse, but I have a very sick child who may be dying and I get so upset at the state of our world. I do have to quit reading these comments. But I hope I have caused a few people at least to think with their own common sense instead of blindly following whatever. Some theories may be correct. But many ARE for monetary purposes. We each were given a mind to think with. Question everything before taking it as it appears. And be sure and thank a veteran for the freedom we celebrate this weekend. Too many have died to protect it to just give it up willingly. And whether or not you are religious, lets try to love one another. Love can fix so many things! Try to keep our world clean, But that doesn't have to bankrupt us. We can all do our part in whatever ways we can. The old saying "Give a hoot, don't pollute" should not have gone out of style. And use your wikipedia to read "Ice Age" to see cycling.
  • Posted By: Follow up on cap and rape: CNSNews.com) – The 1,400-page cap-and-trade legislation pushed through by House Democrats contains a new federal policy that residential, commercial, and government buildings be retrofitted to increase energy efficiency, leaving it up to the states to figure out exactly how to do that. This means that homeowners, for example, could be required to retrofit their homes to meet federal “green” guidelines in order to sell their homes, if the cap-and-trade bill becomes law. The bill, which now goes to the Senate, directs the administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to develop and implement a national policy for residential and commercial buildings. The purpose of such a strategy – known as the Retrofit for Energy and Environmental Performance (REEP) – would be to “facilitate” the retrofitting of existing buildings nationwide.In other words all your appliances-heating-stove -fridge-windows-would have to meet green standards before we sell SOCAILISM HAS ARRIVED YESWEDID
  • Posted By: ANOTHER YES WE CAN: First you paid to insure your car. Soon you may have to add health insurance premiums to that stack of monthly bills as well. In a revamped health care system envisioned by senators, people would be required to carry health insurance just like motorists must get auto coverage now. The government would provide subsidies for the poor and many middle-class families, but those who still refuse to sign up would face fines of more than $1,000. The details were unveiled Thursday in a health care overhaul bill supported by key Senate Democrats looking to fulfill President Barack Obama's top domestic priority.SOCAILISM IS HERE The Congressional Budget Office estimated the fines would raise around $36 billion over 10 years. Senate aides said the penalties would be modeled on the approach taken by Massachusetts, which now imposes a fine of about $1,000 a year on individuals who refuse to get coverage. Under the federal legislation, families would pay higher penalties than individuals

  • Posted By: Htiek: What always amazes me about people in WV is their slavish devotion to coal mining even though it is killing the planet, costs more jobs than it creates, poisons the water, destroys the mountains, scars the land, kills the snail darter, and other horrible things. Things are all so backwards in this country why dont we switch over to something that lasts and is free like the sun and wind? Even if the president said that stuff and I doubt he did and even if he did you are misquoting him or taking him out of context he is right if there is one sure way to get people to stop turning their air conditioners down to 76 it is to raise the price, just like gasoline. People we can learn to ride bikes and walk again, just like they did in the old days, that will help give us exercise and decrease the obesity rate in WV. Food is another area, the slop that people eat like MacDonalds, trans fats, regular soft drinks, anybody with half a brain knows the intelligent thing to do is tax regular soda pop.

Haven't heard of any heat warning anywhere is the US so far this summer. Great for us but doesn't feel right.
  • Posted By: Kris: Hi Bonn, it is true that these cycles do occur over time. Scientists have taken core samples from the earth and the ice to show these cycles. However, none of the samples show such a dramatic change in such a short period of time. I am a smoker and I will admit that my second hand smoke can and probably will effect the lungs of a non-smoker. The tons of carbon monoxide and other pollutants that we release into our atmosphere HAS TO have an effect on our atmosphere. True story: there was a scientist that day after day after day couldn't figure out why the sky was so blue and clear. Then it struck him, there hadn't been ANY planes in the air for three days. That was 911. What you put out, is what you get back. If you put love out, you will get love back. If you put out negativity, you will get negativity back. For every action, there is a reaction whether it's good or bad. It's in our hands to do our best not to cause an adverse impact to our planet. Peace to ALL!
  • Posted By: Big Earl: Hello again good working coal mining people of WV this is the coal miners friend Big Earl with news of yet another hippie plot to stick there big noses further into our business now some of these people in Congress has throwed in with the tree huggers they are trying to make it so you cannot sell your house without some nut from the hippie EPA coming in and inspecting it to make sure you are green enough to suit there tastes. This so called cap and trade bill that these busy body do gooders are pushing on us will destroy our jobs and run up the electric bills so that everybody will have to live like the Waltons with 27 people under one roof just to keep warm. Now the average hippie longhair don’t care noway because they would have us all living in mud huts riding mules wearing sandals and weaving baskets to load down with califlowers and arougalas tofu and alfalfa to take up on some worthless mountaintop as an offering to there windmill god instead of having nice homes, cars, a job and cool air in the summer and heat in the winter ALL THANKS TO THE COAL MINER.

  • Posted By: bonn: I was trying to make a point. Perhaps not in the best way. I get so discouraged seeing what is happening around us. One group of scientists call for us to spread soot on all the snow up north to absorb heat to counter the coming ice age. Another (more popular) group calls for painting our roofs white to reflect the heat that is melting our ice caps. Which group is right? Neither. Our earth is doing exactly as it has been doing all along. Cycling naturally. Did it plan it all on its own? Hardly. But no one wants to hear that. It reminds me of "chicken little" yelling "the sky is falling". Only this is not so funny-this is control. And what is even sadder is-people seem to WANT to be controlled. This earth will continue as always until one preplanned day it all comes to a screeching halt. Then a new earth will be created. I will not be caught off guard. I read The Book. I know where I will be. Do you? And do you really enjoy giving those schemers your money that much? I hope one day...
  • Posted By: Keith: A few questions for the Yell audience: Does anyone remember when Obama gave that interview in SanFran Cisco and said that he would not prevent the construction of a coal fired plant, but his policies would bankrupt anybody that tried to build one? That policy was cap and trade. I heard O say that energy prices, under his administration, would "necessairly skyrocket." Is this the hope and change you guys voted for? How will you afford your electric and gas service under this man who cares so much for the poor? Obama said once that he was not bothered that the price of gas had risen so high, just that it happened so fast. How does everyone feel about the gas price? Obama raked John Pablo McCain over the coals for suggesting health care benefits be taxed as income, now he is going to do the same thing to pay for "free" care to illegal aliens, deadbeats, etc...but union workers will be exempt from this tax. How does that make you feel if you work for a living and are not in a union? H&C
  • Posted By: Amy: Hteik, "all is well" because people like us! Give me a break. If all were well, we would not have the largest unemployment rate in 26 years. The stimulus package would prevent it from going above 8%, remember? How is Iran not our business but Honduras is? The people of Honduras have a Constitution very similar to ours and we should support the people not an extremist who is trying to take over their country. The 22nd Amendment does a great service for our nation. IF it would be reversed that would be O.K too. At the rate Obama is going W. could beat him in 2012. At least I would sleep better at night.
  • Posted By: Just Me: Wow Jane Doe, give it a rest. I really don't think God would be please with this going on and on and on...healthy banter is fine, but this is not healthy banter. Christians absolutely can and do get angry, it's what they do with that anger that counts. It doesn't matter where, when, or even IF you go to church...what matters is that you have accepted Christ into your heart and asked for forgiveness of your sins. God didn't save us to judge others, he saved us to lead others to him. I've said many times...what if the person you just yelled at, told off, or whatever showed up at your church on Sunday? Would you be proud of your behavior?
  • Posted By: Sophie: Roane County is a beautiful place. The country roads snake along past fields, farms and old homes we wish could talk. Looneyville is indeed named after the Looney family, so is Gandeeville. My father was from Roane Co. & graduated from Walton High School in the 40's. He told me tales of his school days, friends, boyish pranks, old cars and the fun they had at the 4-H camp. Spencer was a big place to them. Roane Co. gave us many war veterans and kept distant family & friends together with the annual "Roane County Reunion". I don't even know if they still have it, but we used to go. I remember seeing Sen. Robert Byrd play his fiddle there. The Black Walnut Festival in October(?) is a good time to visit Spencer. They usually have a parade, arts & crafts and a museum. You can enjoy a slice of Americana, along with a slice of homemade pie.

There is also a Lefthand Post Office on Rt.36, always wondered why there wasn't a Righthand also. Our County seat is located in Spencer, (middle of nowhere) which for years was only known for its State Mental Institution. (no Jane Doe this isn't my Alma mater) It was closed years ago and now a Wal-Mart is on that location. I guess the only other thing to speak of would be the Black Walnut Festival which is held in Spencer every October.
  • Posted By: bonn, the simpleton: Don't we have a smart earth? She formed herself from a dust cloud, they say and planted herself just the right distance from the sun to support the life she would create. She also filled her insides with molten heat to maintain the right temps and if that builds too much she decides to blow some out holes (volcanoes) to keep from exploding. She makes her own rain, knowing whether she needs a gentle soaking rain for her plants, or a gully washer to cleanse the filth. It pours down the mountains, into the rivers and out into the ocean which she just happened to fill with salt (her natural sanitizer). And she knows if she doesn't have ice she will over heat, but too much and she will freeze, killing her life she so carefully made. So she melts some, then as it heats up, she freezes more. All just coincidental happenings? She is brilliant! But not so smart as the humans who are making a fortune controlling the other dumb humans by convincing them THEY are causing her to do these things!!!

Hate to say we told you so but we told you so, I just get fuzzy inside thinking about all the people that love us now that hated us because of that old Bush. Another thing too, leave this Iran thing alone, that is none of our business. I dont recall anybody from Iran coming over here to help us in 1776 so why should we stick our nose in their business? When you get a strong leader like in Honduras, a good strong leader with a military background, everybody goes nuts because the guy takes things over well I support him and Obama. In fact, some people are so needed we better start now to get rid of the 22nd Amendment, it was only put in by jealous radical extremist crazy Republicans to hurt FDR.

Yeah, we're with you - there are a bunch on weed-o's coming around these days trying to shut us down for the sake of some owl...We get it. We all hate it. Roane Co/Jane -It appears Roane has been very hurt in their lifetime by family conflict involving belief. Many people get hurt because of superstition & misinterpretation and overzealousness. It has been this way since time began. I hope Roane can someday get past the hurt & retoric to work out his/her own salvation. Simple belief in Jesus Christ is where it starts, the rest as I put it, is just "gravy". Jane: I'm sorry your child was hurt. This indeed must be reported. I got hurt @ CP one time too on "The Whip". It beat me so hard against the side I had a major bruise on my hip. I strained my arms trying to keep from slamming into the side. A fun thing was not so fun. No rides for me, anymore. Not there.

  • Posted By: Big Earl: Hello good people of WV this is Big Earl and I for one am sick and tired of all these out of state know it all nosey people bothering us if it is not these smelly hippies trying to run our jobs off or rename the WVU mascot now they are calling the good citizens of WV fat. Well people I am here to tell you that this bunch at the so called CSPI and no you hippies I don’t mean the TV show calling us fat should look in the mirror they look like something off night of the living dead pasty faced scarecrows and beanpoles and what is so great about that. WV has some of the best staple foods anywhere in the world I have eaten paotatoes beans meat flour and corn meal all my life cooked in lard and I am not one bit worse off for it and can mine coal with anybody. People all the good foods we eat are natural growed in the garden or on the farm so it should even make a tofu eating hippie type happy. I am more bothered that two states beat us out in the race for the top so I tip my hat to the people of the great states of Alabama home of the best country music band ever and Mississippi but people of WV get busy we have to reclaim our title to best fed in the USA I recommend the Kentucky Fried Chicken with gravy and biscuits as a good place to start our comeback.
  • Posted By: RoaneCo.: Actually Jane Doe, growing up I did attend church and read the bible. Being subjected to religion for many years I would not consider myself "confused" or uneducated. If one looks at organized religion with an open mind it isn't hard to see who is confused. For example, you have one bible yet there are numerous religious groups ( methodists, baptists etc...) that believe their interpretation is the only correct interpretation. This is understandable because the bible itself is very contradictive. In my opinion the the bible and organized religion is nothing more than a tool created to control the masses. Yet this tool has pitted man against man, brother against brother, state against state and country against country, not to mention the wars, death and destruction it has caused. I have witnessed in my lifetime many family fueds, broken marriages and busted churches at the hands of organized religion. I have heard the words of hate spoken by christians. I am not confused.

  • Posted By: Kris: God does not control the weather!If so then he would be responsible for killing hundreds of innocent people every year in America alone! If that's your God, you can have it! My GOD is loving and compassionate. He would never take the life of a one year old nor a hundred year old just because he felt like creating a tornado that day or a hurricane the next. Get a brain and use it simpletons!
  • Posted By: bonn: To Jane Doe: I am afraid RoaneCo's common sense is more attractive than your comments. Read your last post at 8:58 and see if it shows the Light you are suppose to give. We are suppose to control our anger. Yes, we are forgiven, but it is not a license to keep repeating our faults. It is mercy so we can improve. Viciousness does not become a child of God. RoaneCo., may God forgive us for driving you and others away from Him with our failure to shine the Light of Love. And Jane Doe, I am the one you called ignorant just because I was showing compassion (another expectation of a Christian). It is scary about your child. But that person was not attacking your child, nor joking about it, only disapproving of your outburst. Not very attractive in anyone, especially one called to set an example for others to follow. If you must get angry, use it to accomplish something good. Christians are hated enough WITHOUT cause. Love is the answer.

  • Posted By: Craveontruth: RoaneCo.can hurt but often the truth does hurt.I support RoaneCo.To Jane Doe,I believe RoaneCo.does know quite a bit about Christianity and is not confused at all.
  • Posted By: Jane Doe: Thank you everyone for your support!!You know RoaneCo. Nobody is perfect, That goes for Christians too! Are we allowed to get mad??Yes! But are we forgiven everyday? Yes!Obviously you don't know much about Christianity! That's why you critize so much!!You're confused!! We are not perfect! I guess you are!!
  • Posted By: VOTE NO ON CAP AND TRADE: I know its a repost but i think its Worthy 'Liberty Or Tyranny?' House Passes Cap-And-Trade Republicans Warn Bill Gives Federal Government 'Virtual Control' Over 'Every Aspect Of The Lives Of The American People. Thank the Dumbocratic controled house as it will raise the average consumers power bill $175.00 This on top of the energy companies already asking for an inctrase will put such a burden on the American people that only the wealthy will survive.Please write or call our Senators they are the only life line we have left and ask them to VOTE NO on cap and trade. Republicans were overwhelmingly against the measure, arguing it would destroy jobs in the midst of a recession while burdening consumers with a new tax in the form of higher energy costs.And there was plenty to work on in a House-passed measure that pointed toward higher electricity bills for the middle class.Budget Office and the other from the Environmental Protection Agency — that suggested average increases would be $175.00 a year.
  • Posted By: cap and trade survey: against cap and tax,85percent.people who work and are productive.15percent for cap and tax,,,people who work for government or live off the fat of the land and dont mind other people being taxed into poverty....
  • Posted By: : If new drivers would slow down and actually pay attention to what they are doing, then maybe WV would'nt have these new laws for teenage drivers. Personally myself I believe that all states should have this law. It would make the roads a little safer to drive on.
  • Posted By: bonn: About global warming- our temperature is (and always has been) constantly changing. GOD controls it. Anyone who thinks we can are puffing themselves up bigger than we are.Are we suppose to believe we are responsible for the Ice Age thawing that is suppose to have happened way back when as well? How did that happen? Certainly not carbon emissions. Use some common sense and realize people are using this to line their pockets and gain support for their pet projects. I know- you don't want to hear this, but it is not realistic. Don't let America be controlled with this, PLEASE!! Let us remain free!

  • Posted By: RoaneCo.: I do care about the safety of our children Anonymous on Jun 30, 2009 at 09:01 AM, no matter where they are or what they are doing. Our children are our future. What I don't care for is someone like Jane Doe on here week after week preaching her little sermons all the while calling people ignorant and showing her hostility toward others. It has always amazed me how most christians will belittle someone else but the minute you catch them being unchristian like they always come up with the old "we christians ain't perfect". Well I know they are not, but by golly they are the first to judge everyone else. These hyporcitical self proclaimed christians are one of the reasons I turned away from organized religion years ago. I just don't agree with these people shoving religion on everyone else. I respect Jane Does right to religion and I would even fight for her to keep that right, but she, like so many others need to keep their religion in their church and their home.
  • Posted By: Big Earl: Well hello again good working coal mining families in WV this is Big Earl and I for one am very disappointed that this cap and trade bill got passed into law the other day no thanks to our good representatives from WV. People all I can say is get a woodpile and a bunch of cow chips because your electric is going to get real expensive real quick. These hippies has run up to Washington DC and boo hooed to them tree huggers and longhairs in the EPA until they got even worse done to our jobs but then again what do you expect from a bunch that has a leaf from a dope plant on there sign like the EPA does if you don’t believe me look on this very website I seen a picture of it. Birds of a feather flock together that’s why the good working people were kept out and not allowed to talk at that hearing and the hippies let in. People these hippies has slandered our great state and coal miners first they bring in professor moonbeam from NASA to insult us then he tucks his tail and runs back to NASA and wont debate Mr. DB then they attack our state university mascot the WV mountaineer. Well people I Big Earl have a solution to this lets call WV the “Ivory Soap State,” make our mascot a bathtub that’s a sure fire way to get rid of these smelly hippies and longhairs and keep them out forever.
  • Posted By: ME: We christians are most always judged by our actions and that is to be expected since we are not perfect in any way. We all make mistakes every day,we get angry,we say things we shouldn't and act out our frustrations sometimes to those closest to us and our friends. We try to do better and ask forgiveness when we do stumble from our christian path. Actions speak louder than words at times, good or bad. Yes we adults act like children at times and children try to act like adults all too soon. We never know who we are influenceing with our actions and words so we need to always try to act,say and do what is right. As long as we are on this earth we will stumble but we should strive to be the best we can be and treat people with love and respect no matter how we are treated. I have turned the cheek many times and been slapped alot and will keep on doing it as long as I breath. My time will come soon enough to be judged as to the way I have lived and treated people.
  • Posted By: Jane Doe: I love people on the Yell!!! They give me a chance to laugh everyday. Thanks guys!!
  • Posted By: just looking: UMMMM do you people think that christians are perfect??? Do you think we dont get angry?? Only one person is perfect and that is Jesus Christ...And if a christian says they are perfect, then they arnt a very good christian. We all have faults. Alot of you people cant wait to get up and look at the faults of others and criticize what they believe in....

  • Posted By: Donna: Please! enough of Michael Jackson. He died, now he will appear before God and face his punishment for his sins against children. He was a morally bankrupt person who the media has presented as an icon. It's no wonder children are so messed up today,too much TV and not enough parenting. You too, are responsible for making him appear as a person to be looked up to. He and others in entertainment and sports are not what the children need, they need moral examples to look up to, please stop the glorification of immoral and indecent individuals.
  • Posted By: food for thought: To those of you telling me to watch out for Fox news, please go back and read carefully what I said about the media and the government. I thank each of you for your information. I am not out to attack anyone whether acclaimed or the average joe. I just know what I have read from reports and from different sites. This information is what our scientists, meteorologists and so forth use in reference to report the records of weather and temperatures. Again thank each of you, and at last Fox news was the channel the fine people at our local (American made) dealership had channeled on the tube, personally I just watch WSAZ, at the local level.
  • Posted By: : Roane Co., why are you not concerned about the safety of small children at amusement parks?
  • Posted By: Htiek: Right on Kris you tell em about Fox News. Everyone that watches knows that the dependable networks are ABF, Anyone But Fox. I am just like everyone else in the know, they lie all the time but please dont press me to cite anything specific as I am having coffee right now. I am new to your side, so pardon me if I get something confused. Those photographs of the ice caps are proof positive as far as I am concerned, these flat earth types that dont believe global warming should compare them to the satellite picutres from the colonial period and over the years since for comparison purposes. I once heard the hottest year on record was in the 1930s but what does that prove. And before one of you know it alls talks about Al Gore riding everywhere in a private plane and having such a huge house and running a company that profits from selling carbon credits, some people in life earn their special privileges simply by showing up and enlightening the rest of us, so there.
  • Posted By: polar ice caps: the weather is always changing.sometime it freezes sometimes it melts,thats gods doings,not mans.wasnt it the great mind of ted danson many years ago that explaind that in 15 or 20 years that the oceans were going to raise so many feet that it would destroy and overflo inward to apolipicate level.i guess the people that live on these coast lines dont know they are under water.we americans are so silly.let me explain what a great creator said,it rains but the oceans are never full.ice melts but the oceans never overflo.i think i,ll believe him instead of a.gore or ted danzen.p.b.s last week on a travel show,,i think,,,,the guide said the glacier there had been melting 150years.that was certainly before the industrial revolution.as for fox,world net daily,newsmax,etc.the liberal press has lost it monolopy on liberal so called news.
  • Posted By: RoaneCo.: After you finish showing your true colors, go back and read my post again Jane Doe. Better yet let me cut and paste it for you. "I do hope your little girl is ok. I have children of my own, I know how precious they are." And just for the record, I would never "make fun" of a child, but don't think for one second that I won't point out an adult being hypocritical. Are you not the same Jane Doe that three weeks ago was preaching about God, then in the same breath calling someone "IGNORANT"? So let me say it one more time, I hope your little girl is ok. As for you, thank you for proving once again how kind, loving, patient and understanding some of you fine christians can be.
  • Posted By: Kris: This respectfully goes out to "food for thought" for what they said about fox news and global warming.FOX has great movies and tv shows but their view when it comes to the "news" is so far on the "right" way of thinking that it totally obscures reality in their opions of the subject at hand. They'll twist their views to make sure that it is opposite of "liberals" or people on the "left" and how they feel about the subject.Asf or global warming, we have actual time lapsed pictures of the polar caps melting at an alarming rate. You can actually see it happening. If things are cooling down, then why are the polar caps and icebergs melting at an alarming rate? The evidence is right in front of our faces. I sure do hope you're right because if I am, our planet is doomed. Sincerely, Kris

  • Posted By: Keith: Never thought I'd sit around and miss Bush...well the wrecking ball has appointed a racist to the supreme court, one that is inept and incompetent too. Did you notice her latest ruling was overturned today? The economy is not getting better, those of you out of work have my sympathy because this clown is not doing anything to make it better. He never held a real job, never ran a business, just a rabble rouser and agitator. How do you feel about cap and trade energy tax? All over a phony problem that doesnt even exist; WV will wither away to nothing but hey we can all get jobs in the windmill factory, cant we? How do you feel about having your health benefits taxed to pay for Obamacare? How's the hope and change working out for everyone? What do you think card check is going to do the economy? Check out an article about Obama the African Colonialist on the American Thinker Website, dated June 25th. It explains him to a "T." Obama is a wrecking ball, and he's gonna roll over everyone.
  • Posted By: Big Earl: Well hello again good working coal miners of WV this is Big Earl and people I have come to the conclusion that we need some friends in Washington DC that has got some clout. Some people up there has got big names but nobody apparently listens to, that is if they show up at all in court to help you out, those who are sick are excepted. Then there are some people in Charleston who should be in Washington who shall remain unnamed because nobody in Gov. Joes office asked me to say that. But remember who had that bunch from FEMA down here handing out checks before two weeks after the flood water hit and figure out who has clout. You people that went up for the hearing last week should be thanked but the good people never got to say a word but these hippies did, they are apparently now running around the creek with microscopes looking for fish that cant be seen with the eye, something called a microbe, now they are blaming the coal miner for killing off this worthless animal and I sincerely hope Captain D or old Long John will never put some slop like that on my plate when I want good seafood. If you dont see it it cant be of no good use anyway, sort of like a certain US senator with a big rich name who was nowhere to be seen last week.
  • Posted By: Jane Doe: To RoaneCo. How dare you critize my comment. This isn't just some fun arguement!! My child is hurt! Do you think that's funny? Do me a favor, Next time I write about my kids, Don't comment! I hope you don't have any kids because you don't see the harm and worry in my comment, You just want to fight and make fun of someone!! This is really serious!! I don't see the humor!!!
  • Posted By: Big Earl: Did any of you people see those PETA nuts on the TV 3 news last night boo hooing about having to tie there dogs up hello again working people of WV this is Big Earl and I don’t know about you but I always thought it was rude and inconsiderate and just being a bad neighbor to let your dogs run wild all over the neighborhood digging up peoples backyards rooting around in garbage cans and doing there business all over the place. Have any of you people in Huntington ever lost a chicken to a wild dog. Even these back to nature types and hippies up here in Boone County tie up there dog to guard there dope patches but they don’t have no sense anyway if they aint going to Washington DC to try and rook us out of our jobs by carrying signs and yelling about some invisible fish that is no good to anybody they are screaming about the coal miner killing polar bears and other animals that don’t even live here. Apparently this bunch had the bright idea to go down to the park on Sunday down in Huntington when people was out with there families trying to walk around and enjoy things and they chained themselves to trees with real dog chains trying to get people to sign a protest petition to of all people a mayor named Wolf now I don’t know about you but that mayor better forget the beware of dog sign he needs to put a beware of the PETA nut sign up in that park.
  • Posted By: The Seeker: @food for thought: It is indeed important to check facts, and it heartens me to see that you're of the type that actively seeks them (even thought I fall on the side of the debate that believes in climate change, as it has solid science behind it). However, I caution you on taking anything from FOX news at face value. This is an organization that in 2000 won a case in Florida appeals court in which the court ruled that FOX has no obligation to tell the truth to it's viewers, and can misinform the public under the first amendment. This is also an organization that has been proven to have an agenda, and frames every bit of it's coverage to favor one political party over the other. My advice is to seek out less obviously biased news sources, especially in cases such as global warming, which is an issue that transcends political parties and affects every being on the planet.
  • Posted By: Hugh: Hey WVa. Checkin out the YELL. Kind of quiet today. Enjoyed my visit there. Met John Henry at the Big Ben Tunnel,saw the big bridge. Stood at Hawk's Nest and viewed the scenery. If I wasn't so old and crippled, I'd bungee jump from the New River Gorge Bridge. Have folks who live in the Talcott area and some around Hinton. Well won't take much of your time today. Just wanted to check in.
  • Posted By: what is foor for thought?: foor?? for thought, you do know Bush made those he commissioned to study it alter their reports when he found out it supported global warming, don't you? Anyone who just sees pictures of the ice caps 30 years ago and now would have to be mentally handicapped not to know there's global warming, the only thing that's possible to debate is the cause of it. Wonder why Fox didn't mention the Bush fiasco? Well I don't really wonder.

  • Posted By: Lou Ann: Ive had a similar bad experience at camden park several years ago. Havent went back since. The pricing is just another deterrent to doing business locally. I love this area but am very discouraged by the lack of pride in our appearance in several of our towns, the prices of doing business, the attitude towards the customer , the lack of merchandise. I could go on. We definately are not tourist friendly in the great ohio valley area.
  • Posted By: foor for thought: Looks like my comment on June 24th may be right. I have done some reading about this Global warming fad the government is putting on. I was sitting in a local car dealership and FOX news was reporting on the government sitting or "burying" studies by two of the highest ranking EPA officials contradicting this myth. Some of the comments from their studies proves the Global temperature if anything has decreased. Although, you should be skeptical about anything the media reports especially when it involves the government these are facts that have been recorded over time. I ask how come when these bozos as Dr. Hansen whom is from NASA(which has done innumerable amounts of damage to our air with their testing) never mention facts as these when trying to prove things they are claiming is a fact. People we in America have became lazy in seeking the truth, I am not disputing anything these scientists and the government tells us, but as we learned in elementary school check facts of both sides.
  • Posted By: gays in u.s.a.: another reflection on gays.if you think god doesn,t care about you because you,re gay ,he must love you more than you can comprehend,if not you could have been born ina muslim country.islam has no homosexuals ,they are not rehabilitate,just beheaded.as a loving and compassionate god says"GO AND SIN NO MORE".that doesnt mean just you it means all of us.yes god allows you to choose,he must really care.
  • Posted By: City of Milton: I'm glad that the City of Milton has so much money to spend and that they spend it wisely. Every time I drive through town on a nice day it never fails that someone is washing their personal vehicle at the VFD. Good to see that they budget personal car washes into the city budget. I think I'll stop in there today and see if I can wash my car as well...should be a nice day!
  • Posted By: Valorie: About four weeks ago, I sent a letter to Camden Park with a friendly suggestion to open the park to the casual visitor again. As of today, I still haven't had a response from them. There used to be a small fee for admission to anyone who just wanted to visit. Once inside the park, a visitor could buy a corn dog or pay to play a few games or ride a few rides. Now people have to pay a full admission price for all day rides, even when they don't plan to stay all day. A lot of people are grandparents who just want to watch their grandchildren ride for an hour or two. Some are young parents with small children who tire easily. As empty nesters, my husband and I would like to drop by to get a bite to eat, play some games or just walk around. Everyone I have spoken to said they would visit Camden Park a whole lot more if they didn't have to pay the full admission price. I challenge everyone to contact Camden Park and ask them to give the people a choice!
  • Posted By: to gay question: god is not a cruel and unfair god.we all have our faults.is homosuxality a bigger sin than adultry,pornography,lying,stealing, and the list goes on.the clue to these behaviors is wanting to make our lives better.we cant blame anyone but ourselves for what we do.if anyone doesnt change its what they want to do.but as long as it doesnt affect me thats between you and god.but it is wrong,just as cheating on your spouse is sin.would we tell the adulterer that its not sin and not to try being a better person,i think not.celibacy would be better than the same old behavior.these have been struggle since creation.
  • Posted By: RoaneCo.: Losing your religion Jane Doe? What happened to "turn the other cheek"? I do hope your little girl is ok. I have children of my own, I know how precious they are. But next time you read of someone else being "furious" or commenting on their personal issues, maybe you should keep your bible quotes to yourself.
  • Posted By: Jane Doe: I recently went with my church and my family to Camden Park this past weekend. Me and my 6 year old daughter rode the Spider, We thought it was going to be lots of fun, we were wrong! It was a nightmare! It went on for 10 minutes and was going way too fast! My daughter was terrified and was screaming! I was furious when the man that helped us off asked if she was okay and I said what do you think and he laughed!! I have rode this ride for many years and loved it, But this time I could tell it was different! But then it gets worse, A friend of mine that stayed at the park longer than us informed me that after we left, The spider closed down and said they had crossed wires and the ride was malfunctioning!!! My daughter can't hardly walk today and has a four inch bruise down her back! I'm taking her to the doctor in the morning. If there is something seriously wrong, I will be speaking to the owner and this situation will be takin care of!!!!!
