Dude, I'm so relieved that you managed to survive this horrifyingly traumatic attack. And the paralyzing fear of a potential *firecracker* somewhere on school grounds?? I hope your mother brought you clean underwear when she came to rescue you from what surely felt like 1945 Dresden.

Call it whatever you want, Salty. I don't mind having a bottle bill, and I take the trouble to put them in a paper bag at the curb, so other people don't have to waste time digging around to find them among my other recyclables. The stench at the redemption centers is too much for me, and I'll pay 5 cents a can to not have to go there ... other people are willing to do this task, and I'm happy to let them have the nickels. But I don't want them to up the fee/tax/incentive/penalty/whatever to 10 cents, because that will motivate me to either cut way back on my Diet Mt Dew or start nagging my husband to do this unpleasant task ... and we all know I'm not cutting back on my Dew. So please give the cans you're not redeeming to those who will take them back ... for my husband's sake.

You know Amanda Fritz wanted to vote in favor of this, but didn't have the guts. Unfortunately for her, many of us remember all the OTHER times she's sold us out over the years and won't vote to reelected her in spite of this ONE time she actually represented her constituents.

Bad idea, and it actually makes more sense to set the deposit bottles/cans aside for others to redeem -- if the redemption rate drops below 80%, they're raising it to $.10 deposit. I don't know about you, but that would cost me more than the increase in garbage rates. I hate returning bottles, and I don't want my laziness fee to double.

You're full of crap and trying to use this story as a platform for your anti-gay rhetoric. That's disgusting, pathetic, and completely off topic. The admin banned your last personna, and I hope they do it again.

WTF is wrong with you?? Go protest with your buddies from Westboro Baptist and stop using a story about a heroic young man as a forum to spread your hate and bigotry. Have some manners. Sheesh.

This woman clearly isn't very bright, since it didn't occur to her that when you see nocturnal animals during the day, something is definitely wrong.

That was my thought too. Poor kitty.

You could never get in on the IPO. Gotta have connections for that.

It's all about the information. Facebook has an incredible amount of data on hundreds of millions of people -- where they shop, what shows they watch, what time they're online -- that is insanely valuable, and no one knows how they're going to leverage that, or what they're going to do with it. Facebook knows more about its users than credit card companies. You're breaking the rules by not using your real name ... but based on your IP and family connections, they probably know anyway.
