Not only should they ban cellphone use while driving, I just got plowed over by someone walking and talking on a cellphone. She was absolutely not paying attention. It's dangerous out there.
The Presbyterian preacher who wrote, "The church isn't for saints, it's for sinners and broken people like me who need God and need each other," is in opposition to the Apostle Paul, who said, by inspiration, that there are saints in the church of Jesus Christ. (I Corinthians 14:33; 16:15; 2 Corinthians 1:1; Ephesians 1:1, and many other verses.)
Ball players come off the field to catch their breath. A 53-year-old has-been entertainer dances and sings for 15 minutes and her vocals are just as clear as if they were recorded in a studio. Amazing.
The West Virginia Senate is trying to kill the texting bill again, by adding talking on a cellphone. Is there some magical difference between talking on a cellphone and a CB radio?
Congratulations to President Obama regarding our improving economy and job growth. Just think how much further along we would be if we could have received any help from the GOP. I hope that voters remember this in our next election.
For those who are rejoicing about the economy improving, how much longer do you think this is going to last, especially with gas prices increasing?
To all of you Democrats who are so critical of Newt's past, who are you to cast any stones? In spite of their corrupt lifestyles, you've continued to keep the Kennedys and others in office. Newt says that he has prayed for forgiveness, so who are we to judge?
Once and for all, the Bible says God gave mankind the earth to be stewards of. That means we're supposed to take care of it.
Most healthy Americans don't need the national anthem to make love by. Pull yourself together.
I liked the article in Sunday's paper -- the lady who said she wrote letters to her grandchildren only to find out they couldn't read cursive and they were teenagers. Recently found that out by my 12-year-old granddaughter who has a 4.0 grade average can't read cursive either. They don't teach it anymore. We're raising illiterate children who are glued to their cellphones.
It's a shame that our prosecutor spends more time in front of the TV camera than he does in the courtroom.
Regarding the new DMV requirements for renewal of your license, why has nothing been written about the requirement for women for a marriage license to prove their name? The state didn't say anything about it, and the only way you find out is when you go to renew. I know of a lady that went five times and still can't get her license.
Ezekiel 23:19-20 says, and I quote, "yet she increased her harlotry, remembered the days of her youth when she played the harlot in the land of Egypt and doted upon her paramours there, whose members are like those of asses and whose itches are like that of horses." Now you tell me how that pertains to mountaintop removal. You can't.
To the question about funerals, surely in loving memory, people can try to work together for the funeral -- plan together and pay for the expenses together.
I see where the Town Center is adding four new high-end, as they call it, stores to the Town Center. In other words, they're putting shops for upwardly mobile people with lots of cash to spend. Apparently, Town Center has not got a clue. Even some of the rich are shopping in the smaller places. That's why Corridor G is always packed and the Town Center isn't.

They're going to give IOUs, and IOUs does not draw interest, so the only incumbents I'll be voting for will be Capito and Manchin.I'd like to know why gas in Teays Valley is $3.65 and it's only $3.59 in Sissonville. Is that their way of gouging the travelers on I-64?Thanks be that I have a mute button on my remote. The American Freight commercial with the frantic screaming person blows the wax out of my ears.Remember when Newt Gingrich tried to impeach Bill Clinton over the Lewinsky case? Boy, what a hypocrite. Bill Clinton was a very good president and left a balanced budget.We have about 20 or 30 coal trucks running on Cabin Creek, sometimes seven days a week. What is the state going to do about our roads? They're all to pieces.About the movie "Groundhog Day," I didn't know that it was already getting daylight at 6 a.m. in Pennsylvania this time of year.The Kmart at MacCorkle Avenue in Kanawha City has maybe three handicap scooters, and usually two of those are broke down. I would like to shop there, but I can never get a scooter.To the person that quotes the Bible saying about mountaintop mining, I just read my Bible, Ezekiel 23:19-20. It does not say anything in there except about whoremongers. So I don't know what Bible they're reading, but they need to get the King James version.I've had enough. I'm a student at Hurricane High School, and I'm tired of our teachers being picked on. We do not have bullying in our school, and I think our teachers do a great job. Enough is enough.If you want Richie Robb back as your mayor, take him. We don't want him down here. Also take our treasurer, John Young. Both of them are trying to ruin Nitro and don't care about the citizens. Get them out of Nitro. Take them back to South Charleston.To the venter looking for free tax help in Kanawha City, you can find that at the Southeast Church of the Nazarene on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.Thank the churches in the area for having the rummage sales. My grandkids need clothes so bad, and their parents are laid off, and yes, God does save souls. Thank you, Jesus.I can tell you what Danny Jones is thinking about. He's thinking about antique cars and car shows and how he can tear up the Boulevard or get rid of the Boulevard. Danny Jones hates that Boulevard.The city of Charleston needs to cut their council, not our police department. Look at the paper how, much crime is in Charleston, and by the way, how many fires has Charleston had? The unions have ruined everything.You know, as a veteran and someone that likes football -- and has all these years -- and watched almost every Super Bowl, I find it kind of disgusting that we can have a parade for the players, but to heck with them old boys that come back from the wars.To the venter who didn't like the picture of the man kissing a monkey, I myself thought it was very sweet. I would much rather see that than a dead deer being held up by a hunter. Then, the deer didn't have a chance.Mitt Romney wants to keep troops in Iraq and Afghanistan and wants to take military action against Iran. He wants poor people's sons to fight in his wars while his five sons hang out in the United States enjoying their $100 million trust fund. I think we should bring back the draft.In both the Charleston Daily Mail and The Charleston Gazette, it talks about people getting their citizenship. I remember when my mother got hers years ago, but she didn't wait 36 years like Grant Cooper did. I mean, if you're going to be part of this country and make money in this country, you shouldn't wait 36 years to get your citizenship. Shame on him.
