What our world has come to... Our children aren't growing up, they are just getting bigger with age! They aren't learning, just waiting until they can send their next text or go harass another bus lady. This makes me think of those occupy rallies. I pray for the future of Our Great Nation if we continue down this path. I blame the schools. Teachers, teacher unions, they have enforced a liberal agenda that embraces this type of stuff. This is foolishness! And it seeps into our children's brains and they either commit this behavior or tolerate it. Tolerance... Synonym of systematic destruction of our country.

No excuse. There is no excuse. I educated myself and have done very well for myself. Why do we have to keep spending more and spending more. I don't recall having a computer in my classroom, do you? Do you remember relying on calculators? Kids can't spell, write, do simple math or even understand our history, and yet we spend more now than ever on education. You want to throw MORE MONEY at these teacher unions and crooked administrators? Keep throwing more money at it and it will get worse because there is money made in problems. I'm sorry to talk like this, but it's how I feel.

While I am far from an expert on rap music. I believe the main followers of the ICP (Juggalos) are predominately white.

When looking at the video and pictures associated with the article, I don't believe I can find a dark skinned person in the crowd.

GG, do you hate white people too?

BTW TC...That chick that had her car stolen that is pictured in her bra and panties, and proudly proclaims her "Juggalohoodom" looks anything but fat to me! Then again, she may have only heard the Juggs part and thought she should show up!

Why would I hate anyone, let alone my own kind? I feel disappointed to see that so much of your focus is on the young lady with no dignity, seeing your prior posts, I held you in higher regard. Just goes to show you can't expect much from this crowd. Perhaps you and FredLeonard should head down to 8 mile and do a tour of the quarter booths, split the costs. Pervert.

I don't need to hear about some pathetic fool telling me how hard he had it when you likely grew up with at least one parent who loved you. I am betting big dollars that someone mentored you and looked after you growing up. If that's the case, it's apples to oranges and you can just shut up about your personal experiences, they don't mean anything in this discussion.

Why the harsh tone, TC? All I am doing is relaying my personal story. Why should I have to subsidize the actions of parents who decide not to live in the same home together, some of these parents (we BOTH KNOW who I am talking about) deciding to stay single and raise their kids, these are bad decisions of the INDIVIDUAL and for me to have to pay for it is the dumbest thing I can think of. You are subsidizing and influencing the increased performance of stupidity. Please TC, you must see where I am coming from here, man. If we got back to basics with these kids and only spent what was TRULY NECESSARY it would be cheaper and better. Why do the private schools do so much better than public schools when they are cheaper? ANSWER THAT!

Wow, you can't even tell that I was throwing a barb at Simpleton Reynolds and a small one at TC with that post? I guess I misjudged you too.

Curious though, how do you know so much about quarter booths and where they are located?

I'm sorry Bryce, I have just grown accustomed to being attacked by the users of this board. Back in the '90's a group of people I am affiliated with filed paperwork with different cities regarding code violations by all the pervert paradises in the Metropolitan area, and 8 mile seemed to be a large cluster. We were able to get one on Dequindre and one on Van Dyke closed.

My tone is not directed at you, moron. My tone is directed at your premise that "If I did it, everyone should". It smacks of a certain sheltered ignorance. So let's tear down your comments:
I don't know who you're talking about. Who? What I do know is that while an adult should be held responsible for their actions, we as a society have a responsibility to the child (who has no input on the way her parents live). We as a society will repeat the cycle at a greater society cost by not being active. The foster care program in Michigan is desperately under funded and deliberately dysfunctional. This is a mirror to us all. Kids have no power to change their own outcomes. Have you ever seen an 18 year old who has aged out of foster care? The ambitious ones are Juggalos.
What are the basics? Love? I agree 100 percent. Consider adoption, better yet, in your case, forget that advice. The Republicans in Michigan have repeatedly choked the shit out of our foster care system. In the last federal audit, the state couldn't account for 16 children in the system. Fight to fix problems, but complain about the outcomes to justify cutting funding makes you an idiot looking to create bigger issues.
Get ready to be spanked fool... I have spent 15K a year since 2001 to send my children to a private school. Most of their teachers are my friends now. I volunteer at the school, my wife does too. We are very invested in the development of our children. This means I am likely an above average parent. The schools aren't cheaper. BUT the teachers work for less money, because they all know that the work is more rewarding. They know the parents are invested. Now, looking at public schools, there are idiots who think "We pay them good money to raise my child". Parent involvement is 1/3 in a public school as it is in private school, yet there are more students and parents. When you suggest we can run all schools like private schools, you're an idiot. Teachers won't do the job of public education for private education rates, cutting their pay only chases the bright people from the industry. You will never run a successful society using the methodology designed for the exceptional members of that society. This is what you are suggesting. You must design public systems for 5 types of people: The exceptional, the above average, the average, the below average, the dysfunctional. Every politician I have ever met has been exceptional. The Republicans tend to be smart enough to understand that dysfunctional people exist, but want no responsibility for them. The Democrats "feel" the pain of the dysfunctional but do a marginal job addressing the problems; the system needs more that just the cash. Both fight about it and we get marginal solutions. You seem to be an average person who is frustrated that not everyone can be average. Not everyone can, I certainly won't be average, I'm exceptional, the dysfunctional can't be average either.

I choose to pay my way out of raising my kids around people like you. You choose to do what is TRULY NECESSARY for the average guy. Then there are the addicts, abused, mentally deficient, and depressed. You are telling me we should treat their kids like average kids? You suggesting we can all be run through the same system is really telling about who you are. My kids at their ages today (tweens) are more ready to be adults than many adults. Think about the kids who learned from dysfunctional parents. This is my point. You're blaming these kids for being born from the wrong vagina? That lacks thoughtful understanding. You blame the teachers of these kids for not behaving like private school teachers? That makes you an idiot.

If you had half a brain you'd understand that funding birth control completely is the cheapest thing we can do for our societal problems. Yet, these Republicans seems to thing that the dysfunctional having more kids is a good idea, so they attack planned parenthood, but that's another discussion.

Thanks for your two cents, but I will give you a whole quarter if you just STFU.

Gotta take issue with you here TC.

Underfunding isn't the problem. It's what is done with the funding that exists.

Example:

Washington D.C. spend north of 18,500.00 per student per year. Yet, they come in somewhere around dead last in student achievement. More money isn't that answer.

It doesn't matter who you are or where you come from or what color your skin is. There are certain things that are necessary for a child to do well in school. They need someone that makes sure they get there on time every day. Someone that make sure they are in bed at a decent hour and get a good nights rest. Someone that makes sure homework gets done and is able to help when the child needs it. They need someone to get up in the morning and make the a nutritious breakfast. They need someone that shows up for parent/teacher meetings. Someone to teach them respect, for themselves and others. Etc, etc. etc.

Another thing. There has to be a way to enforce proper behavior in the class room and school in general. It's tough to learn when there is chaos and many kids are in fear.

More money wont do this. A change in behavior in the home environment coupled with a change of attitude in the current government ran schools system.
