BAROURSVILLE, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- It’s now just a memory for former students and teachers at a Barboursville school.

Demolition crews are in the process of tearing down the former Barboursville Middle School, which was once Barboursville High School.

We’re told the school’s cornerstone was removed last week before demolition crews went to work.

The new Barboursville Middle School opened back in January. It was built right behind the old school.

It makes me reaaaaaaaaaally mad that they tore down the school, but I guess everything good has to end. Too bad the new school is just like the elementary school they built a few years ago; emotionless and like a jail.

  • Posted By: buck: Fairy tale? I feel sorry for you Jamie.
  • Posted By: Bluebird: Thanks WSAZ! You are the best! I will leave it at that, I have said more than my share. :-)
  • Posted By: Evolution and Global Warming: Both evolution and global warming are scientific FACTS. Someone here said we were created "from dirt." Yeah, we were! Beginning as single celled organisms. The "hand of God" in all of this is that we are the only species that is self-aware.
  • Posted By: food for thought: And my speach and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God. 2 Timothy 6:3-6 If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness; He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself. But godliness with contentment is great gain. Now that is some good reading!
  • Posted By: Jamie Paul: you are so right buck. we have to get over the hate and bickering, like wars and murder, because if we all have religion, then none of that would ever happen. oh wait, thats right, more people have been killed in the name of "god" than for any other reason throughout history. the crusades, the inquisition, islamic jihad, and the list goes on and on and on... maybe, just MAYBE, if you people stopped believing in your imaginary friends, then you wouldnt have the "justified" cause to kill in their name. religion is the crutch of the weak willed, unaccepting of the inevitable, and those too afraid to accept that they are simply an carbon based organism.if you need to believe in fairy tales buck to make it through your day, thats fine.but dont look down your nose at others who have risen above an intelligence and acceptance level that you yourself are too afraid to attain. you are like a child, who has to believe that a parent will take care of you, while you cower in fear of the unknown
  • Posted By: buck: Gandalf you are truly nuts. Evolution is what the scientist use to make money, similar to Al Gore using global warming to make money and that he has. God is the only way. For all the people who say stop the hate and bickering, it can't because it is in our nature and only Jesus Christ is the answer. Prayer in our schools, the Bible, Ten commandments etc. If we live according to that, to what our foundings fathers founded this nation on then we would be alright. But in my opinion this country is through unless we go back to God. And I don't mean the muslim faith either, it is what it is people wake up.
  • Posted By: Hey Gandalf: I hope you don't carry pictures of Chairman Mao.
  • Posted By: Big Earl: Hello WV coal miner people of all people now Randy Travis is bothering the coal miners somebody needs to tell him them thousand points of light on his Christmas tree don't run off no windmill it takes electric from a coal mine I made up a song it goes like this In the other hand theres a welfare check to remind me of the job that I used to have.
  • Posted By: Keith...hey Anonymous: You are correct and incorrect at the same time. True religion has caused much pain and suffering, but Christianity is not so much a religion as a relationship, because all the founders of world religions are dead and buried, while Christianity claims a resurrection for it's founder. As for knowledge, the Bible says Come, let us reason together. This does not imply mindless following, but careful study, resulting in, as Paul wrote, "proving all things." I have yet to find anything that tells me to believe simply because it says so; there is a geographic, political, social, and archeological record to back up biblical claims. As for science, check out the book of Job. When many folks thought the world was flat, the bible had the truth. If you are referring to the global warming hoax as "destroying the world," the reason I do not believe this is possible is because one volcano eruption, totally "NATURAL" is equal to how much alleged "damage" done to the earth by mankind? Nature is brutal.
  • Posted By: Dave: Have you noticed that most of the worst complaining about everything in our country comes from so-called Christians? Some of them seem to be full of hate not love. Our country was much better off before they became fully involved in politics. The founder of their religion said His Kingdom, of which they claim to belong, was not of this world; perhaps they should reflect on this.
  • Posted By: To anon@1023 11/27: You are so right people will fight and die over something they can not even prove who wrote or if what is written is even true The Bible is full of contidictions and they expect educated people to believe some of the most outlandish tales ever assembeled in 1 book I suspect many of the tales were told while the teller was under the influence of some weed he either smoked or chewed or some sort of liquid concocation he drank and it has been told as the truth for so many years and blindly followed that to question it causes them to realize how stupid they look so they would rather kill than be made a fool of go to ask.com and type in Bible contridictions and read for yourself they cant even decide if there is 1 god or a group who were to have created the earth or what day he/they did it on.My question has always been if he created the heavens and earth who created him can you or anyone answer this for me everytime I ask a preacher this I get ignored or they change the subject
  • Posted By: to Bluebird cont: is a small price to pay for the amount of reduction in emissons that they are offering in the oslo summitt thats 30 cents a day I dont know about you but if I had kids or grandkids I would imagine I would pay 30 cents a day if I thought it might make their future a little brighter and if I couldn't afford that then I wouldn't have them.Yes it will cost some people their jobs but that is the way of the world and as we advance there will be more jobs go by the wayside look at the newspaper industry this very machine you are on is killing it so should we all just throw our computers out so all the newspaper companies can survive.But if you are 100% sure you are right then do nothing and take the chance use your god given rights but how will you feel if your wrong and you bring on your own demise because you thought you were being decieved who knows we may end up causing a drought to the extent that no food will grow and we will all starve I hear it is an agonizing death and worse for kids
  • Posted By: To Bluebird: Yes there is a difference but 1 contributes to the other but sitting around and arguing will not fix either and people claiming that them having a certain job is more important than controling either is not right,yes everybody needs to work and make a living but at what expense to the future is my point,people blame this group or that group when many have benifitted from the very group they blame Its just like the woman that gets on tv and harps about coal trucks calls the epa when a loading facility causes a little dust on her porch and all at the same time her husband works in the mine where the coal comes from now whos fault would it be if they shut that mine or loading dock down and her husband is out of work see some of these people cry when their ice cream is cold,My take is global warming has been around since the last ice age if you want to get technical but you need to read the data released tuesday is $111per yr to much to pay thats the cost for the levels set for 2020 that
  • Posted By: Bluebird cont.: WSAZ, please bear with me?.. It will happen. There will be a one world government. The Bible teaches us that. And we will not be able to buy or sale without the mark of the beast. It is coming. But do we have to hurry it and even embrace it? This is where this is all leading. But until it gets there, I want to be able to care for my family. To be taxed to the point we can no longer do that is cruel and evil.
  • Posted By: Bluebird: Isaiah 14 tells of Lucifer's fall. He said,"I will ascend to heaven... I will..I will..I will make myself like the Most High." (read) He is still saying the same thing through the scientists mouth today. It takes away from God's holiness. The weather is His power alone. They are trying to make Him a liar. And in doing so will break the backs of all the working people. Remember the saying, "Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me"? But they are making themselves exempt from the distribute the wealth idea. Even if you just have a minimum wage job, politicians are YOUR employees. They don't like that idea. We are talking about the richest people in the land imposing such taxes on us that we can no longer survive on our own. And then they will set themselves up to be gods over us, providing for our every need even if they think that is for us to die if we cost them too much. I get angry because the people say "Yeah, Do that!" You don't know what you are asking. It will happen.
  • Posted By: Bluebird: I would try to give answers to questions asked. I am a Christian first, and a proud American second. I am not against science as long as it does not try to make God a liar. There is no proof of evolution because it is false. They have never found their missing link because it does not exist. The Lord God formed man out of the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and man became a living soul. His own breath gave us life! To me, that is a big deal. He formed man in His own image. How does evolution agree with this? You have to believe all the Bible or it makes it worthless. You can't choose which parts to believe and throw other parts away. As for the earth, we can pollute her waters and soil and create a lot of dirty air. We can find solutions to this by working together. It is important to keep it clean. So why am I so against the global warming idea? To believe that we can change the weather is to take away from how tenderly God takes care of us. cont?
  • Posted By: Gandalf: Man was created by evolution. Man will be destroyed by revolution.
  • Posted By: To all you "christians": Well, for all the ranting and raving I read from so-called "christians" I just want to know..what difference does it make? If God is in control of everything..then he's in control of what is going on in government. He's allowing people to do whatever..and in the end, if you believe like you say, none of what you're saying or anyone else is going to matter..except if what you say offends people or turns them from God. If you appear negative and full of hatred towards those you don't consider "christian" or you're condemning them for what they believe, you stand to be judged for that. Less is more..and if you really want to sound like you know something, learn to spell, do some research yourself, and finally...this forum isn't a pulpit. You can share without preaching. It really goes much further and has better results.
  • Posted By: 2hwy {To heck with you}.. VOTE 4 ME!: Vote 4 who? What in the world? What the heck type of bussiness is it if you have to be voted in? If I am voteing for anyone, I am voteing for me!! Please do the same and vote for me.. I am honest, hardworking, and uhmmm uhmmm I will fight for WORLD PEACE! Opps! I forgot ignore the last one {World peace} that is going to be my beauty pageant answer..
  • Posted By: Meatwad: Flying Spaghetti Monster FTW!
  • Posted By: evolution,global warming: anyone can claim to be a christian while calling GOD a liar and insinuating they are smarter than GOD.a good example,the kennedys,jimmy carter,kerry ,pelosi,h.reed etc.they all believe in the sadic murder of unborn babies.that is evil.the only true evolution is after GOD created adam and eve from dirt,or did GOD lie,then we evolved thru conception from our parents and backward generations.simple.im proud to be rightwing,the key word is right.in the last days people will be scoffers,they will call good evil and evil good.they deny GODS might and authority,they think they control weather,not GOD.they welcome tax and trade.they live off the hard work of everyone else,they shout bring it on i dont care.they believe in al gore religon.
  • Posted By: Angela: A friend of mine is trying to win a job. She needs your votes! Her name is Suzanne McMinn from Walton, WV. You can vote for her everyday until December 7th at http://www.sam-e.com/job/profile/718 I really would appreciate it if everyone would vote for Suzanne! Thanks!
  • Posted By: ?Question?: Why is it, Christians says it against the bible to believe in Global Warming? I am a Christian and I know we have not used our resources wisely.. If we can destroy our "temples" {our bodies} Why is it not possible to destroy the "temples" habitat? I am not being a wise guy when I wrote this, it is a real question. I do not beleive in evolution..but I think it would be possible to hurt our planet.
  • Posted By: AlGore, my hero: Remember when Gore got caught red-handed in the Buddhist monk fund raising scandal? Getting $5000.00 contributions from these poor souls at the temple, who are sworn to austere living, for the 1996 re-election campaign? Remember the phrase "No controlling legal authority?" Remember when Gore misspelled "Tomatoe?" Bet you hadn't heard that one. Remember when Al claimed to have invented the internet? Remember when Gore went on Larry King and swore NAFTA would not cost American jobs? Remember when Gore wrote back to a constituent, who had contacted him about saving the Texas Eagle, that he was a wonderfully concerned environmentalist, committed to saving nature? Trouble was, the Texas Eagle was an Amtrak train. Remember when Al was pro-life? Conservative? 1980s. Remember when he said his mom used to sing to him about looking for the union label? Ha ha! No questions, please! Just trust me! Sure, I believe Al about global warming, why on earth wouldn't I? Don't you?
  • Posted By: Bluebird: So Funny: There is a big difference in global warming and pollution! We all want clean air and clean water. No one is disputing that. But there can be excesses in everything. My dispute is with the claims that we are creating hurricanes, global freezing or warming, whichever is the theme of the day and taking our money and freedom in the name of such foolishness. Can you not see that if this keeps going it won't matter, we will all starve because we just can't make enough money to "change" the weather. Where will it stop? If they implement their policies, the weather won't change. So will they continue to tax more or again alter their data to make it look like it helped? We are being deceived and it IS about money and control. Are we to all come to the point of hopelessness that you displayed in your first post? Should we all just kill ourselves and let them have our spot in this world? I don't know about the rest of you, but I will go down fighting. My God-given rights-NOT FOR SALE!
  • Posted By: Keith....hey Gandalf;...PC and the wimps in the USA: Hey Gandalf, have you ever heard of the pre-Adamite theory of creation? For me, it reconciles some of the seeming contradictions between Genesis and science. Next, is it completely outrageous that 3 Navy SEALS were arrested for allegedly punching the man who planned the attack and killings of the 4 Blackwater guards in Iraq, that they had just captured? The poor baby got a busted lip. Oh, boo-hoo. What on earth is wrong with the USA; what happened to us? We have turned from a warrior nation that under FDR put German spies during WW 2 in the electric chair, to one that sadly contains a significant amount of politically correct overly-sensitive wimps who are more worried with protecting murderers, thugs, and terrorists than protecting our own valiant, heroic, SEALS. Just wait for the terror trial in NY for Shiek Mohammed. There will be ACLU lawyers lined up to represent them-these are the class of people I refer to. You will not see any ACLU lawyers stand up for the SEALS. Help them!!!
  • Posted By: : Religion cannot abide knowledge,many of the posts here show that some people would rather hate and even possibly harm those wish to learn and use science to help mankind.It seems so strange that there are people who would willing destroy the world for a belief that cannot stand up to scientific scrutiny.Religion has caused more pain and suffering than any good it has ever done.The sooner it(religion) disappears the better off mankind will be.
  • Posted By: So Funny: To The person replying to my earlier post thank you but I really dont need the help I am happy in my life and the only thing that makes me sad is to see all these people who do have kids and grandkids really not care about their futures enough to do the right thing and make sure they have clean air and water .Its the same mentality they use on safety to many rules but as soon as someone gets killed its because of not enough rules people need to be responsible as do companies where would we be if not for rules and laws to protect the earth I'm sure no 1 wants to drink water that runs out of their neighbors drain pipe straight from the bath room but without laws that is exactly what would be happening and I can see what it would be like with chemical companies dumping their excess toxic waste into the rivers so if that is the way the want to live and die then why procreate,children should not be brought into this world only to suffer just cause daddy destroy's it and could care less
  • Posted By: Big Earl: See you coal miner people down to the WalMart today or maybe Krogers I read in that newspaper where they are selling gift cards with a bonus but if somebody wanted to give me a stuffed deer or wild bore head for Christmas I would want the deer or pig head not a plastic card.
  • Posted By: : Global Warming. When the SUN fades out (DIES). EARTH DIES. No way around that!
  • Posted By: earths age: the earth is cazillions of years old.but...GOD created man 6000 years ago.or god second creation man from monkeys...however a person want to define his origins.to understand the climate controvercy its important and easier to understand about earths age.and informed people will know beyond a shadow of a doub,thatmortals cant change weather,onlyGOD ALMIGHTY.but if evolulationist dont believe that they can keep supporting al gore and the rest of the carbon hogs , they just laugh all the way to their banks,mansions and private jets, screaming the sky is falling,the sky is falling.so long comrades.
  • Posted By: person posting to ostriches: Dinosaurs were not just herbivores (vegetarians) but omnivores and carnivores. It's people like you that keep the masses out of church. To anonymous: Seriously? You sound pretty stupid.
  • Posted By: to...so funny: you sound so unhappy,is there anything we can do for you to lighten your day.not a joke or criticism,i want to help.
  • Posted By: Newly Unemployed: Well, thanks Mr. President Osama. Sure I didn't vote for you but your actions of late just prove my reasoning for casting my vote in the other direction justified. I tried convincing my colleagues, 95% of which are union, to join me and they declined. Siting thier loyalty to the union as the only reason they wouldn't vote Republican. Keep in mind they just didn't vote, period! Now, because of thier indirect support of Osama, they and I will soon be unemployed. You see, we were to build that new AMP Power Plant that has just been cancelled. Now while I'll probably not be totally without a job, I will just have to relocate from Ohio to keep working. But this too is in danger. We were told because of the new administrations policies against coal it was driving the cost of construction out of reach for AMP, therefor they cancelled the project. Several thousand jobs lost overnight. UNION JOBS! UNION SUPPORTERS, both directly and indirectly. This is only the beginning union men and women.
  • Posted By: Evolution and global warming: There is hard scientific evidence that we evolved from lesser species. There is also hard scientific evidence for global warming. One can still be a Christian and believe in evolution and global warming. The religious right fanatics are fueling a lot of the denial of these realities of our planet.
  • Posted By: Jethro: So funny you sound like some kind of a nut.
  • Posted By: Squarepeg: Trying to argue with the denizens of The Yell is like wrestling with a pig in the mud: Sooner or later you realize the pig likes it.
  • Posted By: Raymond: I agree with bluebird. Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! GiveTHANKS. Have a safe and happy day! Remember don't eat turkey and drive! :)
  • Posted By: Gandalf: Question I am wondering about: When was the universe formed? Scientists cannot conclude when the Big Bang occured, or in what sequence. Most agree it was started many billions of years ago. Some believe that the universe was created all at once, a mere few thousand years ago. If the speed of light is constant through out the universe an answer is possible. Light produced by the sun takes about 4.5 minutes to arrive here on earth. The nearest galaxie to ours is Andromeda. It takes light 2.5 million years to reach earth from Andromeda. The light we see in the sky at night where Andromeda shines is 2.5 million years old. Does that not reason that the universe is more than 2.5 million years old?
  • Posted By: Pat: To SO Funny. Talk about ignorance, have you ever heard of a run-on sentence. You did not use one punctuation in your whole post. Where did you go to school? Your English teacher would have a fit with your post. Not only for the poor grammar but actually promoting suicide! You poor thing. You are the one that needs to get a life and go back to school. It sounds as if you have no love or compassion for anyone but yourself. Wake up buddy, there are plenty of us who believe in God and are thankful for what we have. By the way, Happy Thanksgiving!
  • Posted By: So Funny: Reading these post it amazes me to see the level of ignorance spouted here,some of you people need to get a life or maybe take your own and do the world a favor the global warming issue would go away if all you morons would act on the latter option the air you waste could be used for smarter people but then again who really cares not I maybe we would all be better off to just finish destroying the place and be done with it who wants to leave anything for future generation anyway.I dont think its going to expire before a die so I'm going to enjoy it while I'm here and if it dont what differece does it matter I dont have kids only an ex wife and like I really care if I leave anything for her she done got over half and as for you idiots who had kids I hope they are smarter than you and decide to end their cruel lives rather than grow up to act like you it would be a plus for this thing they call the human race and as for religon that is another joke you have fell for how stupid can you get
  • Posted By: food for thought: Yeah I believe in dinosaurs, I even believe in unicorns. I also believe there is something you need to do, pop the bubble you live in. Your so called experts also claim and most likely so do you that the Earth is billions of years old. Saying that, they and most likely you as well would agree with the claims the Earth travels 5 miles away from the Sun each orbital year. So let me see billions of years billions of miles closer to the sun...yep you guys missed it that was your global warming. Keep supporting your Al Gores of the world, you know those who stand to make millions, from seducing minds like yours while WE the avergage people who make this world g,o keep going broke. Like I always say the effort is there but sensibility is lacking.Bluebird you Rock!
  • Posted By: Big Earl: Hey you PETA types me and Roy bagged us a couple of bucks today that is going to be good eating after we polish off a turkey tomorrow enjoy your tofu turkey.
  • Posted By: Bluebird: Wow, she's got Gore's stuff memorized! I am impressed. I don't want to argue climate change. Neither will change the others mind. I don't fault you for believing it. It has been a very well presented program and it is deep rooted in many people's thoughts, especially ones who care deeply about nature and animals. I love our earth and God. I believe the Bible gives a clear picture of the future and global warming is not it. I believe God over man. No one usurps Him. He CAUSES it to rain on the just and the unjust. Even if you don't believe in Him, He still takes care of you. He controls the weather, not the Al Gores of this world. That is how I can know without a shadow of a doubt this is not man made. If all the scientists in the world spent every waking moment trying, they would not change the weather one tiny inclement. I know who holds my future. I apologize for having fun with you. I know you care about the environment. I do too. I give thanks for our earth daily; I don't worry.
  • Posted By: Keith...I try to make it stupid and they still prove me right: Has anyone else heard about the global warming tree huggers over in England that got their emails hacked? Interesting what they were writing about. Seems they spent more time on trying to dodge and avoid Freedom of Information requests than actual science. Suppression of evidence, phony claims, doctored photos, etc...and guess what-only one US network covers the story. Guess which one? The rest of them cry about the hacking. Never mind the truth. That's why you still read stories about Obama jetting off to Copenhagen for a meeting on a phony-baloney issue while the country is begging for jobs. No, we don't need jobs, we need 2 trillion more on the debt and the government to take over HC system; we need cap and trade, to destroy our economy further and raise the cost of living on the old, disabled, children, etc...never fear, we get to see the Oprah and Obama have Christmas at the White House, hopefully with that $100.00 per lb. roast beef he likes to serve. Hope and Change.
  • Posted By: Chris: Sure is a bad weekend to be a turkey. Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
  • Posted By: Gandalf: They have finally done it! The Cap and Tax, oops, Trade plan will provide a means of actually taxing the air you breath. Exhaling anyway. Global warming and other plans are simply means to an end. Taxing more people. The idea of trading "CREDITS" for excessive carbon emissions and selling the credits for business who produce lesser emissions will create a whole new commodity to exchange on Wall Street. Yet another economic "bubble". The climate changes continuously, the byproduct of the tilt of the earths axis in relation to the sun. You know, spring ,summer, fall, winter. There is another factor however. The earths axis wobbles slightly, and very slowly. We cannot sense the wobble as it cycles once every 26000 years. This phenomenon also provides the basis for the 12 signs of the zodiac. Google "Precession of the equinoxes" for more details. This also explains Ice Ages.
  • Posted By: : I'm so thankful that I am not as stupid as many of these ignorant,superstitious hillbillies that post here.It is hard to believe people wish to put such stupid comments out there for the whole world to see.I can only think many West Virginians take the saying"ignorance is bliss"to heart.
  • Posted By: Keith...I need help guys...: Can anybody tell me which way a hurricane spins? I am putting the finishing touches on my book on how global warming is going to kill us all and I need to work on one last illustration with my crayons. I don't have the luxury of photo shopping a picture, or having any actual satellite photos, and still getting it wrong, making it spin the wrong way, or doing something really dumb and showing one over the Equator, but so what...like I say, the people I am going to fleece will never know that my hurricane spins the wrong way or is in a bogus location anyway. Oh and I need a picture of a coal mine, I am going to put it right beside my crayola-cane to show what causes hurricanes in the first place. It is just like RFK Jr. said more coal mining = more global warming = more killer hurricanes and I intend to illustrate it in a way that even a baby ostrich could understand.
  • Posted By: Jeannie: You are wrong on the acid rain issue. Power plants and coal burners modified with scrubbers and other devices that made burning coal less of an acid polluter. Not hard to find proof of that if you make a real attempt. Does anyone remember burning rivers? Acid rain. Why some of you choose to believe a handful of information based on mountains of evidence proving climate change is more of a battle/argument than I can convince you of just posting here on The Yell. You're hopefully misinformed. Industry pays for studies to refute what is as close to a fact as can be in the scientific community. Industry would rather us pay for the pollution with our taxes than have business pay for their messes with their profits. Anyone ever heard of Superfund? Research, research, research from reputable sources; that's the key to understanding all of this.
  • Posted By: Jeannie: There's plenty of proof out there that global warming/climate change is real. There are photos, true scientific studies done by the majority of the scientific community (not the rogue scattering of scientists who are paid off by polluters). Haven't any of you ever seen the photos? Really - if that doesn't convince you, then nothing will. Yes, the world has had climate changes that are almost as significant as what is coming, but the difference is that then it got cold. Pollution, at this point, is not causing cooling, it's causing climate change, warmer in some places, cooler in others. Hotter oceans which affect current patterns which affect far more than any of you are aware. The speed this is occurring is far more significant than in past history, but forget about trying to understand if you believe the world is only 6000 years old 'cause you don't even believe in dinosaurs.
  • Posted By: food for thought: So lemme see....humans put out CO 2, the oceans put out C02, so if this government and I mean all past present and future takes aim at controlling (most likely) the superior form of emissions. I hope I live long enough to witness this, we can't even get the government to manage the budget. Acid Rain in the 80's, Clean Air Act passed, no more worries, the things that contributed to what was so called acid rain still exist. Now CO2 emissions and the God-like effort to stop it. People when these narrow minded propaganda spewing can't be helped anymore types push there agenda on you like a Hitler Nazi, then and only then you may want to seek the Creator of this Earth. If not only to know HIM and HIS plan, but maybe also to protect yourselves from the Devil's Advocate that is trying to brainwash you. The Earth is cooling, check it out. Two outgoing climatologists have even confessed to the misinformation that has been given to us. I just can't wait for the next 3 years to pass....
  • Posted By: Bluebird: Happy Thanksgiving, all. I hope we can all find something to be thankful for tomorrow! I have been thinking on how to spend my Christmas money to help the economy in a way that it helps Americans as well. (Job wise.) I know we owe China a huge debt, but that is not the fault of the people. I do not want to buy the junk they are flooding our market with, especially since it contains harmful chemicals. I did some looking and found a few ideas. For adults, I am going to buy food-grown in America and packaged in America. That will help our farmers. If I find American made clothing, I will buy that as well. And for the kids, there are plenty of things like books, movies, etc. that were made here. You may not agree with my ideas, but I hope everyone will check labels and not spend it ALL on foreign made products. Love one another and help where you can. That is the American way! If you don't have money to spend, give of your time to make someones life better. Smiles are always needed. :-)
  • Posted By: Mandy: I recently saw a story on Herald Dispatch that was titled "Hunters, send us your deer pictures". Now I am not going to come down on the hunters and what they do (even though I am extremely against it) but I read the Herald Dispatch everyday online and I really dont want to see a bunch of pictures of dead deer and I am sure I am not alone. What the hunters do is their business but do we all have to look at dead animals??? I am sure that I am extreme case but when I see a cat, dog, deer, etc. on the side of the road it ruins my day. I dont want to turn on the computer and have to see them there too. I am sure that I am provoking people to do so by saying this but please dont send pictures of the deer you killed into Herald Dispatch. Just hang them on your wall so animal lovers dont have to see them.
  • Posted By: dogface: For Jeanie and You're all ostriches; You both need to do a bit more research and a lot less bad mouthing people that don't just have a disagreement with your climate views, but understand not everything is like it's published. It seems the last couple of years the earth is cooling and the globlal warming advocates and scientists have been coluding with false information because the scientific data doesn't fit their models. "Computer hackers have obtained 160 megabytes of e-mails from the Climate Research Unit at the University of East Anglia in England. These e-mails, which have now been confirmed as real, involved many researchers across the globe with ideologically similar advocates around the world. They were brazenly discussing the destruction and hiding of data that did not support global warming claims. The academics here also worked closely with the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change." There is a lot more info about this out there, check it out.
  • Posted By: to ostriches: snow melts,alls right on GODS green earth.there are still 4 of GODS seasons.HE makes snow where HE thinks it should be,HE melts it when HE thinks it should melt.how do you know that 10s of thousands of years ago there was even snow in places where it is now.werent dinasours vegeterans?who used fossil fuels then?onlyGOD ALMIGHTY can control weather.only arrogant,self important people think they are more powerful than God,and are getting filthy rich fooling people who evolved from monkeys.wheres science there?good post keith and bluebird.
  • Posted By: Bluebird: Sounds like a plan! And you can even throw in the super volcano under Yellowstone for good measure. You could claim it was caused from extracting the coal out of the ground or even throw it in with man-made global warming. Now THAT is hot. Why not, they will buy it. Joking aside, I saw where the Rasmussen poll says only 34% of the public are still blaming humans for global warming. I am getting amused at the music talk on here I have no idea who any of these groups are, but they sure have some catchy names and songs titles. "Rat Salad"? "Chickenfoot"? I must have missed a lot.
  • Posted By: Keith: Good luck on the hunt Roane Co., and be careful. Thanks Bluebird but I think I am onto something here. After all, even if, say, all my emails detailing how I had suppressed evidence and ignored contrary information were somehow brought to light, exposing me and my movement as total and complete frauds and hucksters preying on the uninformed, we know only one TV network would even bother to discuss it, and those crazies on the radio, so all the people I am trying to soak would be utterly clueless. But, we need a contingency plan in case some unforseen glitch like this occurs; lets make a list of all the stuff that is going to kill us and have it ready to roll out on a weekly basis, just to keep people stirred up and in a state of frenzied anxiety. First off would be George W. Bush, that has endless potential; next would be Don Blankenship and the coal industry; yeah, good; rounding it out can be potato chips and diet pop. We could throw in fog and ostrich behavior as well, why not?
  • Posted By: To:Big Earl: HAHAHA Big Earl.. We will all get into a fight.. Happy Thanksgiving ;}
  • Posted By: Gandalf: Oldies but goodies: Do you go to youtube? I was amazed how many old songs are posted. I thought that all they had was a lot of stupid videos and junk. Was I mistaken or what! All the old 8-tracks that turned to fetucini noodles in the back of my van are posted on you tube. King Crimson, Mountain, Wishbone Ash, Klaatu, Frigid Pink, Sabbath, Steppenwolf, Budgie, are all on there. Even Iron Butterfly. What if some radio station had these on their playlists? Oh yeah, 9 minute solos don't do well on radio do they? LOL
  • Posted By: Gandalf: Chickenfoot: Van Halen minus the Van Halens! Pretty good CD though, Joe Satriani is killer with good backing, and Chad Smith makes it all good. Rat Salad was a song on Black Sabbath's Paranoid album. Maybe Eddie VH liked it. New Release last week from new group called Them Crooked Vultures. Songs have been on youtube for a couple weeks. Real good if you like Queens of the Stone Age or Foo Fighters. Another Super Group? Dave Grohl,Alan Johannes, Josh Homme and John Paul Jones make some pretty good rock, but they're no Crosby, Stills and Nash.
  • Posted By: Big Earl: Hey are you people down at the TV station gonna have a Christmas party for everybody that writes here on the computer I can bring the deer meat fresh kill to.
  • Posted By: You're all ostriches: It's sad that so many uninformed people have a podium here and espouse their ignorance. The global icecaps ARE melting, as are the glaciers in the Himalayas. Is this due to "climate change" or global warming. I think it is the latter, due to the use of carbon based fuels. So...go ahead and bury your heads in the sand..you bunch of ostriches.
  • Posted By: Chickenfoot: Hey Gandalf, somewhere I read DLR said it was "Rat Salad" maybe just his humor. Anyway, bad about Mike leaving wasnt it? They wont soon replace his harmonies. Have you heard anything from Sammy and Mike on Chickenfoot?
  • Posted By: Bluebird: Sorry Keith. It will never work for you. Wrong party. And you probably have a birth certificate to boot.
  • Posted By: Oldies but goodies: To gandalf: Iron Butterfly, many other big names who where at the field house, Ginger Baker, Ozzie, Ike & Tina...loved the 70's
  • Posted By: RoaneCo.: Sorry I have taken so long to comment Keith. What can I say, it is deer season. I like a lot of '80s music Keith, Def Leppard would be my #1. Ok, for the 206th time, I have NO problem with tax cuts as long as they benefit EVERYONE not just BIG BUSINESS and the RICH. As for tax breaks for Big Business, I feel the more a business does to stimulate THE US economy, (emphasis on THE US) ie. compensating their employees with a meaningful wage & benefit package, the more tax breaks they'll get. If a Big Business wants to seek short term record profit by paying poor wages & benefits and/or going overseas as opposed to long term financial gains by strengening The US economy then they will be paying for their greed in the form of taxes. I'll get back with you on the others. I for the most part agree with your ideas, I just think they need a little more teeth as the old saying goes. Have a very nice Thanksgiving everyone. Ooops, I about forgot to mention Rush, didn't I Keith?
  • Posted By: Keith...hey everybody I have seen the light, and its a fluorescent bulb!: I want in on the global warming scam, I am now an environmentalist. What better way to separate gullible, naive, and ignorant people from their money? Today I bought a fax machine and now proclaim myself qualified to be a scientist, mainly because I say the earth is really getting hotter, especially in July, Americans are killing the planet, and are guilty as sin and have to beg forgiveness. I am announcing to the media that I will be doing a slide show, I haven't picked out which college yet, but here are the ground rules: Absolutely no questions will be asked of me or answered by me. I will not grant interviews. If I decide to fly in on a private jet, that is my business. If, when I separate enough of you from your money, via the book I will have written by tomorrow and the film I am working on, to buy myself a huge mansion on a hill it is none of concern. If you are a professor, join me; you can trust my qualifications. It will never get out that I am a total fraud, will it?
  • Posted By: hey jeannie: the sun shines,the the ice melts,dont take a genius to figure that out.but with the 2 creations,gods creation and his permission to let some people evolve from slime and monkeys,maybe there are 2 scientific answers to ice melting.even you dont answer the fact there was an ice age before fossil fuel was used only these last hundred years.please explain.
  • Posted By: food for thought: I agree, Colby Treadway should get some serious attention for Kennedy award. Almost 2,000 yds passing 1,100 rushing. We will see... Awesome season Tide!
  • Posted By: just a freedom lover,keith: keith i like your informed post.but i will say never in my many years,my lifetime have i been so worried about americas freedom,future.i contrast my first time vote, of reagan and mccain and obama.i vote only on the abortion issue.if a person believes in the slaughter of unborn babies and now infanticide,that person cant,wont care for any other human being or doing whats right.whether it be the ecconomy,the people or country.only our enemies will thrive.o,s agenda of freedom of speech,gun control,the takeover of news and internet ,the rights of terrorist,ft.hood,the terrorist from cuba,everything about this man and his czars should scare every american.bush wasnt perfect but he did everything in his power to keep us safe.like nebbuchenezzer i think the handwriting is on the wall and o.is going to get his path to destruction.does he still hear the sweet sound of morning muslim prayers?
  • Posted By: to dog face,keith,bluebird,: keith,i dont post under any 1 name,just as a story hits me.bluebird,good informed post,dogface,if you notice all jeannies post seem to promote a person who was raised on the fat of the land,and seems to still get her share of other peoples hard earned money.thats why huge amounts of taxpayer money is no problem.global warming would be a good thing since wackos in calif.are trying to destroy their produce production.the north would have a longer growing season.wonder if jeannie will explain the former ice age that killed the dinasours.i feel sorry for her.someone asked gore about the rise in numbers of polar bears and he till insisted they were in danger.and some peoplestill believe every fantasy he promotes.but if the earth is doomed you,d think he d give up his huge carbon footprint to save it,he must not be too worried,but why should he,he s got the jeannies of the world pushing for him.so long comrades.

  • Posted By: bobby: O there was a video clip of the game but NO story! No place to comment and put in our congrats to the team and the coaches for a well played game--but when Marshall loses, then it seems you all can't wait to put a full story on the bad news. Let all the backseat coaches put in all their mean and hurtful remarks (not just to the team, but to the fans as well) If your going to be fair, put a story in win or lose!! Your website manager must be a WVU fan! Which considering the season they've had,not something I'd want to brag about! O n btw? Where's all the critics calling for their head coaches job? Or Notre Dame? Michigan? Guess Coach Snyder should take it as a compliment that he's know so well he's the only one in all of sports where 'so called fan's' are calling for his head! I think WE should be thanking him for putting up with such bs for 5 seasons! Man takes a nothing left to work with team and more than likely will take them to a bowl and people still complain--freakin' IDIOT'S!
  • Posted By: bobby: Why is it when Marshall loses, it seems you all can't get it on line fast enough after a game....but when Marshall WINS, especially a big game as it was last Saturday--absolutely NOTHING! This isn't the first time this is happened, but I sure hope it's the last time!!!!
  • Posted By: dogface: Hey Jeannie, Did we cause the glaciers, that used to cover this part of the world, to melt too??? Ignore the sun's output as a possible cause effect too. I guess you would rather listen to the people that are making the billions off the global warming scam. I hope you will be happy when America starts asking all of us to pay for the cap&trade taxes coming at us if they have their way. $6 gas and home electric and heating/cooling bills that will be at least triple what they are now...... and that's according to President Obama.... so it'll probably be more....
  • Posted By: Bluebird: Prove it.
  • Posted By: Gandalf: Alex and Eddie Van Halen with Mark Stone used the name Mammoth in 1972. Dont know any more about Stone but they met Michael Anthony and David Lee Roth soon afterward. I remember seeing them sometime in the mid 70's when it seemed there were 2 or 3 concerts locally each week. My first concert was in about 70 or 71 at Memorial Field house. Who sang "Inna Godda Da Vida" baby? I know, I was there!
  • Posted By: Can you please do me a favor: Post him so he can leave and I can get some work done thank you in advance I love Channel 3 you are the best.
  • Posted By: Jeannie: I suppose if disappearing glaciers and melting Arctic ice caps and warming oceans don't prove that global warming/climate change exists, then nothing will. Maybe I should forget everything I've learned from scientists and just listen to the scientists that oil companies have bought off - yeah, those guys are the only truth tellers. hahahaha. The most understated quote of the century is "ignorance is bliss."
  • Posted By: Keith: Hey Saturday Night Live, what's your posting name? Good post, I heard that skit it was hilarious. Hey Roane Co., relax buddy. What's your favorite 80s hair band? Ratt? The Crue? Poison? Hey Gandalf, heres one for you. What was the "working name" of Van Halen, before they were named Van Halen? Did anybody see the new Rasmussen poll on "health care?" 56% opposed, 38% in favor. Wow. Democrats are responding to the clear demand of the American people to reform the HC system. LOL. More like committing political suicide. You know folks, whether its $50 in a back alley or $300 million in a back room, prostitution us bad. Did you hear what it took to bribe LA Democrat Senator Mary Landrieu into voting for Obamacare? Well, at least we know where the "stimulus" funds are going! No jobs are anywhere in sight, but that sure makes for a nice slush fund, courtesy of the American taxpayer. Health Care? We are forced to pay for abortions, if you don't sign up you are jailed; USA, Democrat-style.
  • Posted By: Bluebird: While I don't approve of the method the info was obtained, I have been so excited that the lies to push global warming are being exposed. How sad it makes me that it is difficult to find this very important story. In contrast I see most news stations reporting even more scary reports to hurry and push the controlling Copenhagen deal through before it becomes impossible to claim our earth is warming due to our actions. I would hope the people of the world demand unaltered proof of this warming before allowing such an event to happen or the Cap and Trade tax to pass. But no, we are still being deceived. Has everyone sold their soul to that old deceiver-Satan in order to get where they are on the ladder of success? Is truth so hard to come by that we willingly present ourselves for sacrifice, giving up the last remains of our freedom? I never thought I would ever see this day. Shame on all who push this deceit on your faithful people!!!!Does no one care we are being ruined due to a lie?

  • Posted By: Adam: Travis Whitten should be Kennedy winner this year, although I would consider the best QB in the state Colby Treadway. Look at the numbers it's plain and simple. Voter's take out the politics and the names I mentioned can not be overlooked.
