People need to lighten up. Can I get a list of all the posters on this forum who were perfect from 7th grade to their senior year? I remember lots of things we did as pranks back in the day.  I climbed on top of TJ's gym.....I got 3 licks from a paddle, while the coach was laughing..... We drank beer during lunch in the parking lot (open campus at that time).... I ended up just fine and a respectable citizen....... ***not claiming underage drinking is ok...its NOT......just saying kids will do stupid things......it IS part of growing up

[/quote] agreed [/quote] Come on guys , the Raiders have a slim chance if they play a great game but I have to admit that I hate our offense and so do the Raiders . [/quote] Nothing wrong with the offense...same offense that got them 2 playoff berths and district titles.  Just don't have the players they had during the better times.  Need some better players and more depth...that's all. [/quote] I was not downing the Raiders by any stretch of the imagination. I would put Jordan G. on my team anyday......great all around player on both sides of the ball.  They just need more play makers and more time........ The boys have heart, can't take that away.....

[quote name="BORAM" post="1078585" timestamp="1318210708"] this thread shouldnt have even been started.... [/quote] agreed

PUBLIC forum discussing a public issue...... I see no reason to lock it...... I just read the 15 pages....the arguments between the posters was more interesting and kind of masked the topic of the thread anyway..........

It will be a close game..... I'm not sure the outcome......a Lumberton victory would be nice...... but to say it will be a blowout is just a gamble with not a lot of merit.....

[quote name="ABSENT!" post="1068380" timestamp="1317235305"] It has been stated that most can adjust there income enough through tax cuts to only pay roughly 15%, right?  When Regan cut taxes they fell from 70% to 28%.  I think they are recieving a fair shke right now in comparison, you? [/quote] Here is what we did.  We identified the problems.  We proposed specific means to fix them.  We educated the public on the dire consequences of inaction.  And we compromised, on a bi-partisan basis, to get results.  We took action. How so you ask?  Leadership and compromise. Leadership and compromise is the only way you can[b] balance two budgets with over $13 billion in deficits without raising taxes while protecting core services.[/b] Leadership and compromise is the only way you reform New Jersey’s pension and health benefits system that was collectively $121 billion underfunded.

[/quote] Sometime you got to go with your gut(so we will see smashmouth)......They played a STRONG game agianst LCM.......and the thing I was most impressed with was they never gave up......Like us or hate us......but you have to respect that quality.....

Well other people have their own opinions! The only thing that matters is that W column though!! [/quote] I want the Raiders to win as much as anyone else...believe me!...But the W is not the only thing that matters. Leadership, teamwork, guts and a lot of heart are just as important as the win.  The current staff has taught many of those boys these life skills.  I'm guessing by your name you are somewhere in your early 40's.  I hope your kids (if you have any) learn those traits are just as important.  Winning is supreme, but it's not the ONLY thing that matters.  The kids ARE the only thing that matters.

[quote name="BLUEDOVE3" post="1052791" timestamp="1315594241"] Anybody have the middle class stats? Gotta keep you Repubs up on things  ;D [/quote] Everything you wanted to know about the middle class but were afraid to ask.... [Hidden Content] See Dove........I'm well rounded  ;D

[b]The following are facts about persons defined as "poor" by the Census Bureau, taken from various government reports:[/b]Forty-three percent of all poor households actually own their own homes. The average home owned by persons classified as poor by the Census Bureau is a three-bedroom house with one-and-a-half baths, a garage, and a porch or patio. Eighty percent of poor households have air conditioning. By contrast, in 1970, only 36 percent of the entire U.S. population enjoyed air conditioning. Only 6 percent of poor households are overcrowded. More than two-thirds have more than two rooms per person. The average poor American has more living space than the average individual living in Paris, London, Vienna, Athens, and other cities throughout Europe. (These comparisons are to the average citizens in foreign countries, not to those classified as poor.) Nearly three-quarters of poor households own a car; 31 percent own two or more cars. Ninety-seven percent of poor households have a color television; over half own two or more color televisions. Seventy-eight percent have a VCR or DVD player; 62 percent have cable or satellite TV reception. Eighty-nine percent own microwave ovens, more than half have a stereo, and more than a third have an automatic dishwasher [Hidden Content]

[/quote]The notion that the stimulus failed has hardened into Republican orthodoxy, but it doesn't hold up. A study released last week by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office confirmed that as of June, between 1 million and 2.9 million people are working who wouldn't otherwise have been, thanks to the stimulus. That study wasn't an outlier. Several others came to similar conclusions, including one by the economists Alan Blinder and Mark Zandi. As Jared Bernstein notes, the analysis by Blinder and Zandi found that the stimulus was responsible for roughly 2.7 million jobs and increased the GDP in 2010 by a healthy 3.4 percent.But a payroll tax cut has been in effect since the start of the year, and as Bruce Bartlett, who served as a Treasury official in President George H.W. Bush's administration, wrote this week, "There is no evidence that the lower payroll tax has done much of anything to stimulate either spending or hiring." The Obama administration has proposed extending the cut into next year. Republicans oppose the idea. The Republicans only wont the tax cut for the top 1% not for the working class. [/quote] Source?

[quote name="MoFo" post="1041174" timestamp="1314372504"] Yes it is not like everyone hasnt heard. I have heard from one extreme to the other and figure the truth is somewhere in the middle. I coached for Beaumont the first year and we (and I stress we with me included) made some "rookie" mistakes also. I think it is expected to happen with the formation of a new team, the best thing is to learn from it and try and prevent it from happening again. [/quote] agreed......maybe a rep from STJFL should guide a new team through their first certification. Just a thought....

[quote name="MoFo" post="1041047" timestamp="1314364279"] Most of you know me on here was not trying to stir crap was just wondering where the breakdown (IF there was a breakdown) stemmed from. [/quote] MoFo.....I still think it's a valid question. There is a lot of rumors spreading about this....

[quote name="Scalp'em" post="1040678" timestamp="1314300862"] There are some issues before certification, but I've HEARD several different stories and without knowing the truth, I don't feel comfortable commenting. [/quote] don't blame ya.....lol

[/quote] please stay in your own league............. [/quote] Since they are in STJFL and they are competitors, it seems like a perfectly good question. I would like to know what happened as well.

Nice post Icewater.......Good luck and stay injury free!!
