'We'll Pay the Consequences for a Generation of Adults'

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

 

CT High Speed Rail Proposal Would Include Long Island Tunnel

“A rail line to Long Island, who would be using it, the fat cats headed for the east end to their 'country houses' in the Hamptons. More waste of taxpayers’ money.” –  

'Put a Shirt On'? [POLL]

“Hunks aside, please wear a shirt. Also please, women of a certain size do not need to bare their stomachs either!!! Let it to my imagination.” –

The Way We Work: Graduating Job Hunters Play Waiting Game at Home

“It never made sense to venture out and buy a home ASAP. Multi-generational homes are the norm for the rich or poor in the old world.” –

Group of Fishermen Nailed for Unlicensed Saltwater Fishing 

“I'm not going to get bent over this...The only reason why I would choose to fish in the LI Sound would be for my kids, which are exempt because they are all under 16. If I want to do some recreational fishing and pay for a license, I'll go to RI or MA and fish from the ocean.” -

Beating The Back To School Blues

“We'll pay the consequences for a generation of adults who are not fully who they can be because of missing out on crucial time to play, imagine and dream in childhood. Keep them home if you can. Homeschool if you can. Allow them to lead their education. Think of how many things you taught yourself. No child is going to get by not figuring out what's yellow and what's red or what the numbers are. Our culture is all around them. They always will learn!! And they will be happy.” -

Campaign Notebook: Candidates’ Wealth Becomes Election Issue

“I can not understand why we would reelect anyone to office that goes along with the concept that we must first pass a bill before knowing what is in it.” –

Fence Decision "A Victory For the People, By the People"

“‘How do you feel about the fence?’" should be a question asked to every Hamden candidate running for mayor and town council with their replies published in the paper and online.” -

The Way We Work: Jobs That Are Gone

“Some of these loss jobs are due to computer progress and others are due to plain old stupidity, seeding jobs to China due to DEEP and EPA regulations. What do they call the Connecticut DEEP and the U.S.A. EPA in China, job creators?” –

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! :)

Somebody is pretending to be me again. On June 6 we remember D-Day. Thanks again to all our vetsRead More on Memorial Day and D-Day. That's a real reason to celebrate the week.
