Your little story is just that without names. Just because you call it a fact does not indeed make it a fact. Dan makes that mistake all the time too, so it's not just you...

We have a really big problem in this country with illegal aliens. Our tax dollars are being wasted on illegals and we're the ones suffering. They're bleeding our economic system dry and they don't care either. They're just here to collect money and send it back to their own country. If they cared, they would adapt to our culture and language. This is not the case with most of the illegals. Something must be done soon.

Yes, we do have a very, very busy sub-forum. I still remember when I petitioned for its creation in mid-2007 and there were a lot of people "leery" that our region needed to have one. Now I can do this to them!

We still don't put a dent into the amount of traffic the NC forum receives though. I don't think I'll ever understand why NC has become the next FL in terms of being a real estate hot spot---I can think of so many other areas I'd rather live than Raleigh (like...errm....SCRANTON!)
"You need to have the volume to justify creating a new sub-forum first. I don't see one Iowa city in particular receving enough "love" to warrant its own sub-forum, although I suppose a Des Moines one couldn't be so far-fetched. I can't believe someone suggested an Iowa City sub-forum. At that rate let's just make one for Keokuk too! LOL! If you want sub-forums, then start kicking your fellow Iowans in the pants and get them yapping! "

Well maybe the IA forum will become the busiest and I will be able to send the right back to you!!!

So what fact are you calling into question, and what about the content?

You accuse police officers of dropping investigations, and you claim to have cited a specific example, but you never mention dates, times, officers involved, who you contacted at the state police to investigate this claim, etc...

It was charming little story, though.

What content? There was content? Looked pretty empty to me, without names and dates.

Keep in mind, I'm not the one who accused the police of impropriety and then failed to offer proof when questioned.

I think what we have here is failure to communicate...........

I agree that it is dangerous to turn a blind eye for the sake laziness. I agree that a community needs to be aware of emenant danger be it slow moving or fast. I agree that everything you mentioned should be addressed. However, with the amount of rumor mongering that goes on about Scranton Politicos and the sort, there needs to be specifics when their is a complaint.

CONTENT WAS THERE in my mind. collabrative data to back it up was not for whatever reason. I dont care, point taken.
