  2. Wow, when you resort to name calling and making accusations, you show that you are in no way a responsible, mature person and when that occurs, you lose credibility. What are you even talking about?

  3. Technically, you are supposed to do the same thing that you would do if somebody sent inappropriate material to your home/laptop computer that is not solicited by you. You immediatly call the authorities (and your IT person if you are at work) and report the incident right then and there. I realize most people won't do this, but this is the only safe way to protect one's self from this stuff. With your logic, we can have a ton of pedophiles out there, and when they go to court, they claim "somebody just sent it to me" - um no.

  4. I do agree with you, should be zero tolerance. But, the reality is that these kids sometimes need their phones before or after school (for example, to call mom and dad and let them know you are home from school/bus). A genius of an businessman is making boatloads of cash in NY state because he saw the need to strict policies and also a need for children to access cell phones directly before or after school. He brought a van and set up a business that you can drop off your phone before school and pick it up afterwards, for a small fee. His phone truck is safely parked near the school, not on school grounds....he might be onto something.

  5. Doesn't really matter if the photos were taken in another country on a weekend in the middle of the night. The issue at hand is that somebody possessed child pornography on school grounds, during school hours.

  6. There is something called a Student Handbook, and if you open it and read it's contents, it contains POLICIES AND RULES regarding this matter and they are clearly stated ! If a student can't follow the rules, they reap the consequences - Just like in LIFE ! If they (or their parents) don't like or agree with the rules, then they have options to homeschool or send them to private school. Yes, they are kids and they should have counseling and parent involvement IN ADDITION to being suspended, and possibly charged criminally. Also, no parent is doing their child any favors by taking this issue lightly. Depending on the outcome, somebody may have to register as a sex offender - not innocent games, real life !!

  7. Good luck with what? Making a decision to vote against this? It's called a choice, and has nothing to do with luck.

  8. I for one am going to take a STAND !!!! It may be me against the world, but it's time to wake up and take action. The rich will always rule the poor, it's human nature and has been for the ages. This is why we are all paying/asked to pay more taxes from our Government and this is where the problem begins and trickles down to all who are in positions of authority and abuse their power and OUR MONEY !! I value the education of my children and am more than willing to pay more to secure a good education. But I will only do so if I AM IN CONTROL OF THE $$ I PUT FORTH. I REFUSE TO LET THE SCHOOL BOARD HOLD MY MONEY AND DO WITH IT AS THEY PLEASE. For example, my daughter is in GT classes and if those classes are cut due to the fact that the referendum is not passed, then so be it. I would rather spend $1000.00 a year on tutoring my daughter in those subjects to keep her ahead than to spend $200.00 more in property taxes each year. I am going to send a message to our State Gov and School Board that I WILL NO LONGER TOLERATE THE ABUSE OF FUNDS AT THEIR HANDS. I will do this by voting NO to this tax increase. The amount of $$ these board members are making is beyond ridiculous. Almost a quarter million dollars a year by collecting both the pension and grossly overpaid salary - please. Hey I wouldn't even mind if they collected this amount of $$ each year if they were DOING THEIR JOBS. But to make that kind of cash and still not be able to responsibly manage a budget? I think not. The School Board reminds me of the Richard Daley political machine - and look at the state of the City of Chicago due to so much corruption and abuse - this is what happens when there are not checks and balances, and people get comfortable in their positions for so many years. Wake up people, we need an entire new school board. Shame on any Munster resident who does not want to pay the increases in taxes, but DIDN'T VOTE THESE PEOPLE OUT OF OFFICE LAST YEAR. That is all - have a great day :)

  9. Who says they hate the snow? What in the world are your referring to? The article is simply to advise motorists and residents of the current and predicted weather conditions so that they can be as prepared as possible. It also provides valuable information regarding info on school closings. Everybody is relaxed, who is getting excited? Happy Monday :)

  10. Correct, I am aware of this. Please go back and re read my comment so that you understand it. I was giving an example of financial responsibiity or lackthereof...

    ************* If they are that careless with the laptop budget (resident's $$ - not mine, so why fight for a good deal), then I guarantee they are that careless with out tax dollars************
