Maybe you should try a church singles group. Stay away from the bars if you want to meet a good man,

Wanted: 'decent man' wrote on July 24, 2008 12:18 PM: Hey Herb...
Although I, for once, agree with your idea that if you can't afford to raise children, don't have them... 'stuff happens'.. but the real question I have for you is: Know where a decent girl can find a decent man these days? I have been looking for years and I sure haven't found any!

We are already low paying in taxes and we fear even a $1 hit per month in increased taxes.

Let's say enough is enough and we will support higher taxes to go to what it needs to go to.

I do agree welfare needs to be fixed. People need to get off welfare and back to work. You bring a child into the world and you can't afford it we need to help them get a job so they then can.

Schools and everything else need to be given a fair chance by at least funding them to the national average spent per pupil. We are not Iowa or South Dakota where cost of living is extremely cheep. Things cost money and to be fair we need to give them money.

We as citizens are guilty for making such a bad state by revoting Bob Beers, this current Governor and others who say we are paying to much taxes so no new taxes and when I can trim services to the bone I will then cut taxes and trim to where we have no services.

Herb wrote on July 24, 2008 11:07 AM: Nevada should not take care of children, PARENTS SHOULD!!! If you cannot afford to raise children, do not have them. Also the taxpayers should not support the growing trend of out of wedlock births. Women should find a decent man to marry before bringing children in this world, they should not expect Nevada (taxpayers) to raise their b@stards from craddle to jail.

White people can and do pick fruit and farm; well over 50% in most areas, anyone who says only Mexicans will do it is a racist. An illegal doing this job is being paid well below the prevailing wage in that area; they do not pay federal taxes so they keep more of the money earned. If they were legal they would be paid more. So using an illegal worker or wanting more illegal workers is close to slave labor. If a white person deserves minimum wage or better why do you think an illegal deserves less?

For all of it's ills, California is far better off when it comes to medicine, food, culture, and everything else. Why do you think native Nevadans go to California for medical care and vacation? This place and it's politicians are a disgrace!

dobbole wrote on July 24, 2008 10:47 AM: Nevada doesn’t need to take care of “our” kids with tax payers money, parents do. So Nevada is ranked low on giving welfare to kids and their families, this is a good thing, the state should not have to do it. Maybe less unfit parents would have kids if they had to pay the bills.

Have you heard of work visas? Take the waste out of the school system. All basic education should be free. The sports and elective programs should be funded by parents, ticket sale,fund raisers, etc.
