Default Corrupt NJ

Can someone please show me where I said government corruption is only in NJ? Dont bother looking because I never said it.

Where I post in "Every" thread about corruption and toxic exposure?
Wrong again.

Why is it that NJ has so much industry, casinos, beachfront resort areas and other business that generates so much tax income for the State yet the State always needs more tax dollars?

Here is $243 million dollars (and rising) worth of your taxes wasted...

Plus the millions it is costing to investigate...

Default I don't think you should be banned!

To: ScrantonWilkesBarre, RAINBOWWAVES and corruptnj:

I think it's great that you are expressing your opinions and giving facts as well. That's why I come to this forum, to be informed and hear other people's opinions. Corruptnj I think people have a hard time swalloing what you say because you can be little harsh sometimes. Like saying you don't care what happens to us if we choose to ignore what is going on. Maybe it isn't so much what your saying but how you are delivering your message. I personally am thankful that you take the time to let us know what's going on and supplying us with links to get information on our own. I think you just need to soften it up a little bit. ScrantonWilkesBarre hit the nail on the head when she said "and as such, most of these persevering optimists don't want to be reminded daily of the negative things that enshroud their lives."

I would love to leave NJ for a better place but sometimes it just isn't so easy to just pick up and leave with your family. The way things are going in the world today, I wish I could move to the moon if I could breathe up there.

Isabella,

The truth is the truth. If it is harsh it is hash. For example, If someone does not care that a lake is polluted, chooses to ignore the fact, swims in the lake and get seriously ill should we care?

I would certainly care about a polluted lake and would make sure I could inform as many people as possible but if someone chooses to ignore the facts and pays the price why should I care? I did my part.

I've never been one to ignore anything that could harm anyone. I have a conscience that makes me act. If you had a clue what the State is continuing to do to me you would understand. It would be so much easier to just ignore the facts and not care but I do care.

I take corrupt's posts as him speaking out loud. Not to anyone person in particular. He is sharing his experience. If I felt as strongly about something as Corrupt does, I would not sit back quietly either. I would let it be known on a Public forum, news outlets, whatever. Let him blow off his steam and inform whoever want's to be informed about his particular situation. We have the option to read it or leave it. Obviously, this guy has been extremely wronged, or he wouldn't be so persistant. I have read post's of his on other topics that did not have anything to do with HIS "particular situation". Corrupt, I'm not going to beat up on you. Write whatever you want. If I dont care what you have to say anymore I'm just going to ignore your posts. LOL. But, so far I have read it all.

I never said anyone should be banned from posting. What I meant is that when one continuously hijacks threads for his/her own purposes they should be spoken to by the moderater or else have their threads edited/deleted. I agree with hearing everyone's opinion and info Isabella, but you must admit that everytime someone posts a topic, Corrupt brings out his encyclopedia of NJ facts (according to him) and hijacks the thread... If all of you want this forum to turn into the CorruptNJ forum, so be it.

Unhappy Negatives

Corrupt, it's always the negative, negative, negative that you post
Now and then come up for a breath of air and say something positive . I know I'll feel better. We all know where you stand. You're overdoing it; please (and I say this most respectfully) give it a rest!!

I will post something positive if there is anything positive to post.

Unfortunately all I read is negative articles about your elected officials. There are so few if any articles that have anything good to say.

I can think of three options.

1. Elect those who actually serve the public and are really concerned about your health and welfare.

2. Click on my username and ad me to your ignore list.

3. Call the press and ask them to stop writing so many negative articles.

The only problem you will have with number 2 is that you will still have to read the off topic posts of people who want to critisize me and/or tell me what to do and not do. That is unless all of you who do not want to know the facts and truth select number 2.
