    mean crowd

    Being anonymous bring out the worst in some people. Why can't we be polite? Certainly not setting a good example for our kids esp. some of the older ones who read this forum.


    Seems like so many are bitter about something or have some axe to grind- son /daughter didn't make some team so jealous or mean to others whose kids are on the top teams.

    Do these folks make up the majority of the posters on this forum? Wouldn't be surprised...

    Probably true. Mathematically, there are more parents whose kids tried out and DIDN'T make the top teams than those that did.

      Its a sign of the times, u11 soccer is war," let's take them son of a bitches out".

      Teamsters President Jimmy Hoffa had some profane, combative words for Republicans while warming up the crowd for President Obama in Detroit, Michigan on Monday.

      "We got to keep an eye on the battle that we face: The war on workers. And you see it everywhere, it is the Tea Party. And you know, there is only one way to beat and win that war. The one thing about working people is we like a good fight. And you know what? They've got a war, they got a war with us and there's only going to be one winner. It's going to be the workers of Michigan, and America. We're going to win that war," Jimmy Hoffa Jr. said to a heavily union crowd.

      "President Obama, this is your army. We are ready to march. Let's take these son of bitches out and give America back to an America where we belong," Hoffa added.

      Obama addressed the crowd shortly after Hoffa.

              Not sure why you think the rhetoric is the same, but last time I checked over 90% of American workers do not belong to a government employee union. God Bless the coal workers, but Obama is grabbing on to a losing strategy. Better to try to unionize the soccer coaches and refs, as they work for too little, and get abused way too much.

                Soccer may not be big in the motor city, but DETROIT HAS......

                1. A 20% unemployment rate and 50% among blacks.
                2. Gone from a population of 2 million people down to 1 million people
                3. A $330 million budget deficit
                4. The worst crime rate of all major American cities.
                5. 40,000 abandoned house and 100,000 vacant lots. (By the way, you can buy a home in Detroit for $1.00! .)
                6. One of the highest rates of drug addiction of any major American city

                NOW THAT'S CHANGE YOU CAN BELIEVE IN! stop the nonsense, and sign up for Detroit style economics for all of America and its workers.

                  Just imagine what that city would be like if the Repubs had gotten their way and killed the auto industry in that town.

                      Unions are killing the US. They served their purpose but there are laws in place for everything they gripe about

                      ~~~~~~~~~~~
                      [url]http://newsfeed.time.com/2011/09/05/canceled-mail-could-the-u-s-postal-service-really-close/[/ur]

                      "Cash. Some have it; some don't. The United States Postal Service sits squarely in the Have Nots group, unable to make a $5.5 billion payment due this month and on the verge of shutting down entirely without Congress taking emergency action, according to a New York Times report.

                      Already, the threats from the USPS have mounted up: Closing one in 10 USPS locations—that equals about 3,700 jobs for those keeping score at home. Canceling Saturday delivery and slashing one-fifth of its workforce—again, the numbers are staggering at 120,000 workers. But the biggest threat came from the postmaster general, Patrick R. Donahoe, who tells the Times, “Our situation is extremely serious. If Congress doesn't act, we will default.”

                      Closing down shop? That's the reality facing the agency. The USPS already owes over $9 billion and with revenues continually shrinking due to high internet usage for everything from correspondence, catalogs and bill payments and costs still pushing higher, there's no light at the end of the postal service tunnel. The agency has handled 22% fewer pieces of mail the past year versus five years ago, and experts predict that figure only to worsen.

                      Cue the politicians. With labor unions at the heart of the issue—USPS contracts include a no-layoffs clause for a staff that enjoys a screaming-great healthcare benefit package and accounts for 80% of all USPS expenses, far outpacing the ratio for the UPS (53%) and FedEx (just 32%)—Congress will continue the debate on what to do with the government-monitored agency on Tuesday.

                      The $5.5 billion due on Sept. 30 doesn't directly impact service, just retirees' future healthcare. But missing the mega-payment this month signifies the reality that money for daily costs could run out sometime this winter. Without money to pay workers or move trucks—fighting rain, sleet or snow—to and fro, there will be no mail service.

                      But don't expect a quick fix (not that you did anyway). With the postal service not allowed to make its own decisions—Congress sets the rules on everything from how much the agency can charge for a stamp to what days it must deliver—the federal government will need to loosen up something to let the agency enact the changes it feels it needs to survive. Of course, many in Congress don't feel the USPS will make the right decision on what areas to cut. Ending Saturday service will only chop 2% from the overall budget and is widely an unpopular option."

                          Just imagine what the city would be like without 40 years of liberal policies keeping them down.

                            GM would have been defunct (gone, history!!) if the R's had their way. The D's rescued them. We forget that that Obama walked into a huge mess of unspeakable proportions when he took office.

                              I will give you that the Republicans have their issues - they are politicians after all.

                              Why bring in Fox News? They have some editorial programs - O'Reilly, Hannity - that are by definition opinionated. But the news part of the outfit isn't much different from NBC, CBS, ABC ...

                              And the Tea Party is as non-violent as a movement can possibly be.
