If I was an admin, I'd issue whoever uploaded that film a warning because of a foul use of the G-word. PLEASE, do not use it as an insult. There should be no tolerance for this language.

What are you talking about?

btw - did anyone happen to notice that on the 7 day forecast the location name changes after the first flick? that was kinda odd i thought...but hey the star was already freaking out.

I think the feed was switching between two different STARs actually - a Chicago STAR unit and a suburban STAR unit. That's how it appears anyway.

Because It's gonna make our generation with people like us in the future less educated and more focused on less important matters.

How about worrying only about yourself, not the "entire generation."

Because those kids who fail and get poor grades in my class do nothing but text message the entier period. Instead of paying attention , they just keep text messaging. Those who do perform well don't text message at class, usually between periods.

That's not true. I text in class and do very well, along with most of the other people I know.

I'd hate to be the person responsible for that! I'd be the first out the door after class, I'll tell ya that! 

Oh don't worry - he was the main target in football during gym that day. We weren't passing the ball to him, but rather aiming AT him.

Okay.

You know what really annoys me? When everyone in class text messages. It's so annoying. They don't pay attention to the teacher and just spend the entire period text messaging. What's so amusing about text messaging?

I use it in school for certain things, but I don't text all the time in class.

Around here, if you take your hone out in school, you loose it. 

It's like that around here too. You just have to be good and quick enough not to get caught.


I remember in 7th grade, before phones were even allowed in school (off or not), during health, someone's phone went off, and the person wouldn't admit to it, so the teacher called security and every single one of us got searched. The confiscated something like 15 phones.

I wonder if your city has ever considered how much fuel (money!) they waste by having to stop at every single home?

Actually, state law requires all communities in excess of 5,000 people to utilize some type of curbside recycling program. Also, the recycling "truck" is attached to the back of the garbage truck (ever seen a double-split bus? it's like that), so they aren't wasting that much fuel.

I don't see a problem with it. A lot of the communities around here are the same way (the fine amounts very). And they actually do enforce them, via the recycling trucks. The drivers write down house numbers where one or more recycling can is not present on recycling days. If you don't recycle - consider yourself fined.

What if you're single, living on your own, and don't have much trash to begin with?

Over a two week period, everyone throws away some type of plastic, aluminum, or plastic, which can be put in your recycling bin.
