and cleveland mike, maybe i do not have as much factual information as you claim to, please enlighten me... all i know so far about why detroit went bankrupt is that the left is to blame for nc being in a hole... you told me the left is to blame for nc, and that i need factual information, even though i don't remember asking you, until now, to provide some factual information yourself, if the auto industry is not to blame for detroit, what is to blame, and why would somebody who knows the answer, and has a screen name but not really any real connection to anybody here, unless some of you guys know him... not just offer factual information on why detroit went bankrupt, i mean the real deal story, not my fictional story about auto industry and city government corruption, even though the source is usually pretty reliable, and the auto thing, well no source necessary i think it's obvious why unless it was something else, that anybody would think auto industry immediately
verde brook, you haven't really answered my question, i asked which cities and towns, so no that wasn't an example of an answer to any question i asked you... but you did confirm my suspicion your family worked their asses off much like mine and that's why you are so anal retentive, angry because you don't get to surf all day cry me a river

Those representatives are concerned about allowing a facility in their area that will have practically no regulations....with loads of people in their employment. That's really not "looking after themselves".
It's a 45 acre piece of land. The opposition is not local officials but the fine folks in the GA who are slashing everything & citing a lack of money. Like I said, there's a thread on the Charlotte board with plenty of links to get the picture.
hell i worked my ass off too, served my country, parasites like yourself who want everybody to work harder than they already do only for the rich to run off with all the money, what's next you're lecture on how the rich don't do that, or how i don't understand how it works, it works like this, if i can't build my own dream, as that surfer dude probably did, you hire me to build yours, i wouldn't accept the job, but in simple terms that is how things work, now what don't i understand, again, you haven't even answered my original question, what other cities than detroit have filed for bankruptcy, you just told me what i already know, cities and towns can do that and states cannot, that doesn't answer a single question anybody i have seen asked
answer one other question while you're at it, why is that surfer dude even a parasite, he's not sucking blood, or bread for that matter off me, i guarantee if i did my homework on him i wouldn't find an example of one way he has done what you say he's done, unless he's like lance armstrong, then i see your point, but if he's just some stoner, and doesn't have a performance enhancing drug ring working for him, how is he hurting me? and please don't call me an idiot or any other name, and please don't tell me i don't know what i'm talking about unless you know what you are talking about, and you haven't shown me that you do, if the surfer dude i never heard of smokes pot, good for him, nobody cares
I was actually about to look up Jason Greenslate, then when I read your post again to get his name, I read the whole post, and realized how much of a waste of time that would be, and how much of a waste of time reading your post was, hell you're probably really mad right now over what I type, imagine your social skills in person I see why you have a computer

It's obvious that I am attempting to communicate with someone who reacts in a contemptuous manner when frustrated, much as a four year old would.
I relinquish the teeter totter to you....go "read" a picture book.

I understand but, there's really more to it than that. Perhaps I just have a bit more insight from where I stand.
