|
Sep 27, 2008 - 1:16 PM - by jbm32206

Over the past year, there's been an ongoing outcry from many of the Springfield residents who are also members of SPAR. These are some of the reasons for unrest.
- there's been problems with heavy handed moderating on their forum
- members have been banned for violating the forum policies, while others have been allowed to continue, even though their posts violate the same rules
- there have been people temporarily banned, for no specific reason
- there's been

MIAMI — Florida’s governor declared an emergency for the state Saturday due to the threat of Tropical Storm Fay, which forecasters say could bring hurricane-force winds to the Florida Keys as soon as Monday.
Fay could hit as a Category 1 or 2 hurricane, with winds perhaps reaching more than 100 mph, forecasters said, stressing that it was too early to tell how intense the storm would become. In anticipation, Gov. Charlie Crist declared the emergency to help protect... [Read More]

| No Bail Outs!!! |

It is my own personal opinion, (showing my financial ignorance I suppose), that the government should NOT "bail out" these mega-corporations that, quite simply, SCREWED UP!
This is a nation founded on capitalism. Businesses start and sometimes they FAIL! That's life in the big capitalist city folks! Why in Hell should the taxpayers risk THEIR money to bail out companies that, for whatever reasons, greed, bad decisions...WHATEVER, are now in dire straits??? I say LET... [Read More]

Well, I may be one of the first posters to visit JOL with the new google chrome browser. The beta version became available this afternoon at http://tools.google.com/chrome/intl/en-US/welcome.html
I will try to make this more of a user review than a technical review.
I am an avid Firefox user, and have even managed to figure ways around using IE on even those pages that require it by... [Read More]

| Rules for Jax out loud |

Jimmy - I appreciate the rules & guidelines for this site - I find it to be much more intelligent and thought provoking than some of the others I've read. I stubbled upon this site because of the public defender's race, but I continually read the other threads and post. Thank you & the others for keeping this site out of the gutter.
