No one's going to get fined for tossing a cigarrette butt into the street. Why? I've seen cops do it. It's an accepted practice....and that's, perhaps, one of the most unfortunated, albeit, telling things about our society.
Anyone who would even remotely defend the inconsiderate smoker/literbug isn't worth my time....

While the above story is interesting, it's false. A simple check with www.snopes.com indicates it isn't true, and that it never happened. I STILL think it's funny!!

No....what I see are people who are disgruntled and can't see the good in something that's....well.....GOOD for the district. Just because YOUR school and YOUR child's class weren't chosen, people like you want to see the bad in the story. How about being gracious and congratulating Coleman, and Ms. Haley and her class for such a wonderful opportunity.

I now see why apple/sense has difficulty with you. You don't read any better than LOD. I don't CARE if they smoke when they walk down the street. I SAID that. Yeah...take a quick break and go back and re-read what I wrote. I have stated, and will CONTINUE to state, that I dislike smokers who force non-smokers to particpate in their nasty little habit when they're INDOORS...and I don't really care WHERE indoors. If they're inside, and the place is enclosed, it's the height of arrogance and insensitivity for others to light up.
As for the remarks about the street smokers....my comment was MORE directed at the idea of them being litterbugs. When I see several smokers on the street, and EVERY SINGLE ONE of them toss their cigarrette on the ground, I'd call that a problem. It's LITTERING!! It only compounds the nastiness of their habit, and further indicates how inconsiderate they are.

Don't read well, do you LOD. The ones I saw today ARE ALL LITTERBUGS!! It doesn't matter to me if they were smoking outside, but they are LITTERBUGS!! EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM ON FREDERICK!!
If you like, I can draw you a picture since you seem to have that comic book mentality.....

Please expand on your idiotic statement that President Bush "lied to get us into Iraq".
Hitler was a Fascist. He was a monster. He was a murderer. He was as close to being satan as a human can get. I'm glad he's dead. I only hope he suffered before he died.
I'm also tired of BOTH sides using the Holocost as an example of ANYTHING going on today. We experience NOTHING even close to that horrific world event....and I hope none of us ever HAVE to....

As far as I'm concerned, whether the numbers are correct or not....it has zero bearing on the discussion at hand. I am GLAD Coleman got this pilot program. I'm GLAD we have a quality teacher such as Ms. Haley to teach that class. I'm GLAD our district was chosen as only one of a very few districts in the nation to participate.
Some of you people really irritate me!! You'd gripe and complain if someone gave you a million dollars!!!
For once, be thankful and happy that something GOOD is happening. Just because it wasn't YOUR little Joey or Sally who happens to be in the class should make NO DIFFERENCE!!!
Sheesh!!!

I suggest any representative or senator who dares vote for this debacle be declared "open season" and they are voted OUT OF OFFICE the next time they come up for re-election. I don't care WHAT party they represent. VOTE THE IDIOTS OUT!!

I feel Heartland should ban smoking within 50 feet of the entrance.
I also feel that NONE of this would be necessary if smokers weren't so idiotic, selfish and inconsiderate.
Not all of them.....but certainly the bulk of them.
Just took a drive down Frederick this morning. Saw folks out walking, and out of about 10 people, at least half were smoking. Not a problem....they're outside and that should be fine. However, I'm sure it was just timing, but all but ONE of those smokers tossed their spent cancer stick into the street....littering. Now....I'm sure, were I to become acquainted with those folks, they are all decent, upstanding citizens. However, they're ALL LITTERBUGS!! What on EARTH makes a smoker feel it's ok to toss their filth into the street or onto the sidewalk? Why not squash out the ash on the end, and put the stupid thing in your pocket, or find a trash can?? Just one more indication of the lack of consideration from the smokers.

I think I understand, but I still stand by my feelings about Hitler. Sorry, Orliandor, if my comments about Hitler offended you....
I don't feel we need laws AGAINST gays in this country....and I don't know that I know anyone who advocates that. I ALSO don't believe they need SPECIAL rights, making them a "protected class". That's discrimination..
