At what point will people accept that there are such things as accidents, and as tragic as they may be, authorities cannot always be everywhere and prevent everything? I'm terribly sorry for the loss of a young man's life, but to accuse the sheriff's department of not doing enough and the school system for not protecting students is wrong.
To the person who said: After a free election, how is this now a dictatorship? Bypassing Congress and writing executive orders is how. FDR did the same thing only to have several of his executive orders later ruled unconstitutional. If this were a Republican president doing the same thing, I bet you'd feel different.
What a shame that all schools in Berrien County don't allow teachers and staff to participate in dress down Fridays. If one school participates, it should be open to all schools. What a way to boost morale.
How about more sports page one stories on Valdosta basketball? They are doing really well and rarely get the coverage they deserve.
Be more concerned with what God thinks of you than what people think of you. Love people and use things, not love things and use people.
So which one of Obama's great gun plans would have stopped the latest shootings? None of them! It's just another one of his attempts to take away our second amendment rights.
When I go into a sporting goods store and see guns and ammo plastered with imagery for "fighting Zombies," I think we should see some changes to America's gun laws. Just because we have the right to own firearms, doesn't mean we have to glamorize it. These are dangerous tools and shouldn't be made to look cool for false reasons to the wrong audience.
May we all please look up and review the meanings of the terms democracy, dictatorship, and propaganda?
Thank you to the Raver complimenting Lonnie with Mediacom. Mediacom values his dedication to customer service and a job well done with our customers and appreciates you taking time to recognize him.
If people who are standing on the road asking for money make more in a single day than people who have jobs, then aren't the rest of us pretty stupid for working full-time jobs for less money? Why don't you go stand on a street corner and see how little money you will actually get and how humbling the experience is?

How long is it going to take AT&T telephone and/or Mediacom cable to do something about the vines and bushes growing over the cable lines at Mt. Zion Church Road and Academy Acres. The lines are pulled down where a 6 foot person can touch them. We won’t have any cable service or phone service if something is not done about this pretty soon.

Alright Sister's Pizza, how am I supposed to cheat on my diet if you stay closed! The other pizza places are too far from downtown for my lunch hour and are a bit too greasy.

I am thankful I chose to stick with Deep South Sanitation. Our trash is always picked up right on time and he never leaves anything behind. After all my neighbors' trash is "picked up," often items are strewn by the road and the cans are either left in the road or fallen in or beside the road. Get rid of the big company and move to Deep South, if you want true customer service!

Over 150 applicants applied for the handful of teaching jobs in Lowndes County. Plus, almost every single paraprofessional is a certified teacher who has been waiting patiently, “doing their time.” And, Lake Park Elementary hires a teacher who has quit, not once, but twice before. The "good ole' boy" network at its finest.

Have we progressed to the point where we are arguing about gay marriage? I thought the South was still outraged about blacks being able to marry whites! Hmm...We will catch up to the rest of the world eventually.

I found the cartoon referencing Tim Tebow's Christianity on Thursday's editorial page very offensive. I can agree that many people are out for what God can do for them, not how they can serve God, But I do not see any evidence of that attitude or life style in Tim Tebow's life. Time will tell.

Good riddance to the doctor unable to take Medicaid patients?! Do you work for free? I bet you go to work and expect a paycheck. Why would the doctor be any different? Blame our fearless leaders, not the doctors. And you are WAY out of line questioning whether that person is Christian or not. Sounds like the person who thinks preachers should work for free.

Amazing: Even a judgmental person like yourself can’t even bother to get the facts straight before you criticize something. Jason Collins did an extremely brave thing by coming out in a world filled with people such as yourself. Words of Wisdom: Leave the judging to God.

Raves to Mrs. Kay and Mrs. Sylvia at Cook Primary! They have the best behaved class and are the best teachers in that school!

To all who use Coleman Road as a short cut between Old Highway 41 North and North Valdosta Road, please remember the speed limit is 35, not 65. Tailgating me isn’t going to make me go faster. Remember, it’s our neighborhoods, not your short cut!
