'Teenagers Shouldn't Need Babysitters'

A look at the day's comments from Patch account holders in the region.

 

"New Cannan police did the right thing. Arresting a bunch of kids is a poor use of their time and the courts. They let the parents handle it which is how it should be and how it was when I was a teen. Everything doesn't have to involve going to court st that age" -

"At least Mr Biden didn't marry his cousin, then married again, cheated on her, then married another bimbo. Is he still cross dressing?" -

 

"It is an issue when someone with hundreds of millions of dollars to throw around, would even consider the absurdity of cutting the MINIMUM wage of our hard working poor citizens." -

"People please. As soon as you leave your driveway, you are surrounded by idiots. You can use all the devices described above and guess what, an idiot will disregard them." -

"The kids have nothing to do so kill each other? Teenagers shouldn't need babysitters and to be kept entertained." -

"'You as a citizen will obey the laws of our country or be prepared to pay the penalty for its violation. ' 'You WILL observe the laws that have been created for societies benefit.' Add a German accent to that and it faintly reminds me of a certain German dictator....." -

"Jim have you ever eaten a chick-fil-a sandwich? They are pretty delicious :) I really don't get it. Would everyone really be happier if nobody ate there again, they closed all the restaurants, and that many more people were out of work?" -

"I haven't seen anone trying to sell magazines, but several denominations have rung the bell peddling salvation." -

Where DIDN'T you learn to write?? Jane Himmel May 22, 2013 at 01:27 pm "This has CONVINCED MYRead More GROWING CONVICTION that Patch has moved complete..."

I just called Staples. This is really disturbing to me. If I don't get a satisfactory answer, IRead More will let people know and I will also decide whether to continue shopping there. I do not like to give my money to unethical businesses.

This has convinced my growing conviction that Patch has moved completely away from any pretense ofRead More being a news source and is simply an electronic bulletin board. By abandoning their prior procedure of approving posts before they go up, they are letting anything go on and then taking them down if they're reported. By then, it's too late: the poster has gotten their message across during the time it's in the lineup. I only check in with Patch occasionally now and so many people in town won't read it at all anymore. I think we need to be honest with ourselves about what kind of a public forum this venue is. This doesn't reflect well on Staples if they are using subterfuge and violating Terms of Use on Patch either.

Tom, the tree warden doesn't just "put in trees and take them down" just like that. ThereRead More is a reason behind every tree that has come down or gone up. Whats with this town and trees anyway? It seems like a huge source of controversy...they are TREES.

if they had done it at night at least it wouldn't have been smudged. BUT, i happen to think itsRead More nice, and especially with the flags hanging. we forget we are a small new england town, and small things like the red white and blue stripes remind me that we still are! :)
