NRA-backed task force pushes to arm teachers, school staff
Tue Apr 2, 2013
- Exactly. Statistics guarantee us that a very small percentage of those authorized protectors will snap as well and with having the gun already in the school will shoot the students and teachers like ducks in a row. Bound to happen. In the cold war days, all our ICBM missile silos had two operators r …
Viral video: Baby boy in cochlear implant video is 5 now, doing great
Sun Jan 6, 2013
- Elizabeth, that is almost 100% false. I am deaf and have a cochlear implant. The success rate is greater than 95% in people who once heard. If not, it takes more work and might not be as good. A hearing aid will not help someone who is deaf. The nerve has to be directly stimulated. I live a normal l …
Human remains found at home of gunman who ambushed firefighters
Tue Dec 25, 2012
- No matter how you argue about rights to own a gun, you are wasting your time. With 300 million guns out there. the genie is out of the bottle. We need to figure out how to change the culture of the US mentality. Too late to take back the guns.
An emotional Obama: 'They had their entire lives ahead of them'
Fri Dec 14, 2012
- One more reason I am an expat in Costa Rica. Guns are illegal, hence no shootings. Ocassionally someone gets stabbed, very seldom. It is the nature of the people. No one here could comprehend shooting anyone. They won't even fight if angry. It is the culture. There is no reason. The US gun nuts need …

- I lived there (see below). I was also back there on vacation 3 years ago.
Cops: 3 dead, 1 hurt in Florida salon shooting; gunman also kills self
Thu Oct 18, 2012
- Part of why I moved to Costa Rica. Every time I log on US news I read about another shooting. Very rare here because 99% of the population doesn't own guns. But the society is different also. Violence is not part of their nature. So many guns are in circulation in the US, this violence can not be st …
Why some of us refuse to face facts (yes, 'birthers,' that includes you)
Mon Oct 1, 2012
- Great article. It draws out the Jerrys of the world (see above). No matter the facts, they do not fit his worldview. If he is in email contact with like minded people, he gets his position reinforced daily with more misinformation. I get emails everyday from crazies. Everything from the president's …
Que rico! 5 decadent Latin American desserts
Tue Sep 25, 2012
- To Mad Citizen: Latin America has no desire to become like the united states. Narrow mined bigots like you are part of the reason. This article is on food, not immigration. I am a US citizen living out the remainder of my life in Costa Rica. You have to be away from the US and exposed to other cultu …
Colo. ER doc: 'Oh, my heart sank'
Fri Jul 20, 2012
- Will America ever learn? I moved to Costa Rica where guns are few. Not many shootings here, maybe 5 a year. Criminals don't need guns. You let them have the TV or computer, no big deal. If Americans could understand the way the rest of the world looks at them maybe they would rethink this never-endi …
Migration in the Americas: US retirees flock to Nicaragua
Thu Aug 23, 2012
- Wow, some of you people have no idea of life outside what used to be the greatest country in the world. Now it is one of the most despised. Politics, right and left, have gotten out of control. Greed and corruption are everywhere. We moved 3 years ago to Costa Rica. We do not have the finances of th …
