Dang! I'm very impressed with your social skills. You must really be able to keep the flow of conversation going at parties.

:~)

My advice....spend a little more time inside the schools in Georgia (my kids are in Canton) and change things that actually matter on a day to day basis. For goodness sake is this all you could find that might potentially "waste" taxpayer dollars? Hope you are the one researching stories.

As for CNN as a whole...it has been a fabulous teaching tool for my kids on media bias. I knew the lesson was sinking in when, after 2 months of CNN international in Europe, my 6 year old, with NO PROMPTING from me, asked "Why does this station had President Bush so much..."

Lord knows if a six year old can figure it out, someone at CNN should be mighty embarrassed. And before you throw Fox in...let me say that Fox has many talking heads who are admittedly conservative....but they are not the newsreaders and story selectors....

good response. When we need to be worried about under-performing schools and implimenting a voucher plan, HE's worried about a bench.

I don't understand why Jesus Christ bothers you or anyone else. He's about love and forgiveness and healing hearts and souls. Furthermore, if someone told me "Buddha loves you", I'd say "Great!" I don't believe in Buddha, but I would be happy they can express thier own beliefs in this "free" country. (Isn't that what our Founding Fathers wanted?!) I certainly would not be offended that someone told me I am loved!

I think it's incredible that "Jesus Loves You" is offensive, but we are all supposed to be tolerant of the "religion of peace", whose followers train in camps to make bombs and kill anyone who doesn't believe as they do. They need a bench that says "Muhammad hates you and wants you dead."

Hey...we must all embrace that, and be accepting of their religion, and remember to wipe out Christianity wherever it rears its ugly head.

Astounding logic.

Exactly....sh** like this is left for when you have done all the really important stuff and you have run out of critical things to change. Like changing the paint color in the gust bathroom AFTER the house has been rewired, new plumbing, roof patched, etc.

...but if it makes you feel better to loose your anger on me, it's your right.

Thank God that someone else on the internet knows the difference between 'loose' and 'lose'!

Welcome to FreeRepublic. So are you the CNN guy? That's probably about the worst epithet anyone would use, anyway. If you're not offended by it, why bring it up?

Of all the ways to defend the use of the phrase "Jesus loves you", you chose to simply hurl a curse word?

but I will continue to read the very nasty, awful personal, anti-Christian things you write.

WWJD

LOL. He would forgive the nasty, awful, personal, anti-Christian things we write about you.

My guess is, you just can't leave well enough alone, that's why you contacted the superintendent's office about a bench that didn't offend you and that's why you're bringing more attention to yourself by posting this here.

Sorry but that was my first response. We here in Georgia are full of transplants who know what is best for us. If it was so great why did they leave? Sorry to offend, but between illegals and knowitalls like this I could not respond nicely.

"It implies to anyone who sees it that the government is endorsing that particular point of view," he said.

So that's the problem.

Well, I'm sure a member of the PTA with a magic marker could write a little disclaimer on the bench. . .you know, in small letters, just below 'Jesus loves you'.

Problem solved.

You're quite welcome.

The Person involved, Mr. Bernknof, reminds me of Forest Gump: Stupid is as stupid does.

Mr. Bernknof has contridicted himself so many times it's a shame.

Bless his heart.

So basically what you are saying is that you don't know or understand the constitution, and you had to go to the schoolboard to ask for help, because you don't have the ability to surf the net or read a book.

Well, thank you for clearing that up.

"An informal debate on a topic of this nature is always beneficial," he said.

Just wanted you to see this. I think we should have an informal debate on whether Mr. Bernknopf is a communist, liberal, CNN guy.
