The Vent / Living

When a citizen of these United States cannot have a beer while on VACTION in EUROPE without worrying about getting fired then we have become a sad nation.

Oh please give me a break, just because a teacher has a few beers on her VACATION doesn't in anyway imply she would ever come to work with a hangover. What poppycock. I hope she sues the principal and school system for all she can get. Since when are people not allowed to have a private life?

Score: 239

So what...you're saying that you think all teachers should be teetotalers? Enjoy your fantasy land.

Score: 210

I for one would expect and encourage teachers to down a few over the weekend or each night even. Its not illegal and it might help them deal with the nonsupportive parents or those little darlings.

Score: 210

I saw my son's 2nd grade teacher at a swingers club in midtown. Believe it or not people, your kids teachers do have a life outside the classroom.

Score: 210

I don't drink beer and I don't advocate anyone else drink beer on their free time. But unless it affects one's job performance, or is illegal, why would someone try to dictate what they do on their free time?

Score: 210

I drink beer and the occasional glass of wine on my vacation, and even at home in the evenings. Does that mean I'll show up drunk at work? No way.

Score: 210

Lets have a contest with a 500 dollar winner for the first person who comes up with a picture of the Barrow County school supt with a drink in his hand so we can get this moron to resign. Where did they find this idiot.

Palin didn't know her daughter was having sex? Very few parents ever do. It isn't dinner table conversation.

Score: 172

Sugar, honey, sweetie, dahlin'certainly isn't meant to be offensive at the Waffle House. Just their way of making us feel special!

Score: 171

This former Chicagoan eats it up when someone addresses me as sugar or darlin'. Reminds me of my beloved, late Mama.

Score: 155

Why do women shave their eyebrows and then draw on new ones, making rain drops their enemy?

Kanye who?

Score: 132

Give me a break.Today is Saturday the 14th of November and it is 78 degrees. I woke this morning to my radio playing jingle bells and a whole day of Christmas carols.This ain't right.

Score: 111

Please stop telling us about the outrageous bonuses Lottery or any other workers are getting. It just makes the rest of us madder.

Score: 103

What is it about Taylor Swift that brings out resentment in people? One word...successful, or talented,or beautiful, or real, or fan driven, or young hearted, or compassionate, or kind...pick a word any word, Taylor shows class each and every time!

Score: 96

If you live in a glass house, not only should you refrain from throwing stones, you might want to close the drapes now and then, too. e.g., FaceBook public pages....

Score: 80

A big group of AMERICANS will miss Lou Dobbs. He was the only one with the guts to speak out for us working stiffs.

Score: 80

Teachers (some, not all) do a whole lot of stuff that would be considered a far cry from back in the day when teachers truly were chaste and exemplary.

Score: 45

Lou Dobbs is small change, he ain't Walter Cronkite or even Douglas Edwards.

Score: -36

Honey, sweetie and darlin' are too familiar to call anyone older than you who you don't know. And I am from the south.

Score: -42

I do not know much about this Levi Johnston guy by choice but his Pistachio commercial is hysterical!! Admit it...you know it is.

Score: -43

It's not an "endearment" when the person calling you honey or sweetie is 18 and you are over 60.

Score: -46

Its ok to call a friend honey or sweetie. But when an employee does it to a customer at my business that is unprofessional and disrespectful to the client. That's why people have names.

Score: -48

All those awards were definitely to make up for what Kanye did to that young lady.

Score: -50

In five years we'll be saying "Taylor who?"

Score: -73

I'm from the south and calling someone honey, sweetie or darling is considered catty.

Score: -78

I'm tired of the Kanye/Taylor rift. The event was staged. Kanye only cares about Kanye. After the MTV event Taylor Swift has become a household name benefiting tremendously off of the buzz. I believe Kanye was paid to do said media stunt. Security can't be that lax.

Score: -98

No wonder the kids grow up to be drunks and druggies. The parents don't care who their teachers are. Parents probably are no better themselves.

Score: -233

The "beer-guzzling" teacher was dumb enough to advertise it.That is enough to fire her.
