'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?” –

You miss the DAZE of George W?, failing banks, auto industry going under, record high homeRead More forclosures and unemployment, etc etc. Obama is getting it right! BOSTON (Reuters) - The average 401(k) retirement balance for U.S. workers hit a record high of $80,900 in the first quarter, a growth spurt of 75 percent since the stock market's nadir in March 2009, Fidelity Investments said on Thursday based on a survey of its accounts. Most of the recovery is linked to a stock market rally that has lifted the broad S&P 500 Index 145 percent since the close of trading on March 9, 2009. The 401(k) recovery looks even better for workers 55 and older, according to Boston-based Fidelity, the largest U.S. administrator of 401(k) retirement plans. Those pre-retirement workers have seen their average balance nearly double to $255,000 since the first quarter of 2009 when the average balance was $130,700. The analysis covers people who have been with their current employer 10 or more years, Fidelity said.

British soldier was hacked to death with a machete. The soldier is not allowed to have a gun but theRead More terrorists had a firearm but chose to behead the soldier. The suspects spoke to camera after attack. “We swear by Almighty Allah, we will never stop fighting you until you leave us alone. The only reasons we killed this man is because Muslims are dying daily. This British soldier is an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. We apologize that woman had to see this today, but in our lands our women have to see the same. You people will never be safe. Remove your government. They don’t care about you.”

Israel knows who their enemy is and are not afraid to call them out. After 4 Americans were killedRead More by terrorists in Benghazi, when violence in the Middle East was raging, President Obama in partnership with Hillary Clinton spent $70,000 in taxpayer money on a commercial that aired on Pakistani television apologizing for the "video." We are sorry. We are going to get the man who made the video who exercised freedom of speech and arrest him. Any terrorist suspects questioned yet?

PR - It appears that the writer of this item is none other than McMurphy who has been polluting theRead More Patch since the new format arose (just click on the writer's name and you will be taken to McMurphy's profile page). This person is also Randall McMurphy and all the old names including AZ. From all indications, he/she is also DB Cooper so this person is posting on this Board and then commenting on his/her own posts. As someone pointed out a couple of weeks ago, trying to trick other readers is a violation of the Patch's rules, and yet it continues.

@DB Cooper: Oh, you mean how you used your multiple personalities and screen names to flag me intoRead More oblivion? The thing is, it won't work this time. Try again, stalker. Try harder. LOL! You don't have enough fake personalities this time around to do such a thing. Thanks again for stopping by my blog. :) LOL! Hook, line, sinker.
