P.Y. Sat Dec 12, 2009 9:57 pm  1pissedoffguy F L I N T O I D I think it is a great thing that Ingram wins the Heisman. I just wish one of the students from Flint Schools just got some sort of award for an advancement in medicine or some thing like that too. I was going to say a Nobel Prize but looks like that prestige is already gone, with Arrafat getting it years ago. Just hope Ingram doesn't get his head into the clouds and blows his future, I have seen it happen far too much with people from Flint. So congratulation Mr Ingram, remember ,glory is fleeting and fickle, don''t depend on it too much.

Sun Dec 13, 2009 5:40 pm  back again F L I N T O I D i think you both read a bit much into my statement. however, do either of you have a child or kin presently attending a flint community school? _________________ even a small act of goodness may be a tiny raft of salvation across the treacherous gulf of sin, but one who drinks the wine of selfishness, and dances on the little boat of meaness, sinks in the ocean of ignorance. P.Y. Sun Dec 13, 2009 11:11 pm  1pissedoffguy F L I N T O I D BA, hope Mark Ingram does well both on and off the field, I really do. I just don't value sports as much as you do. And no, didn't send my kids to Flint Schools, I saw where the schools was heading and I sent my kids, at great expense to private schools and when they still lagged in skills, I paid for tutors. All while paying for the failing school system of Flint . I just think schools are just there for more than sports programs. I hope Mark doesn't get around a group of people where they blow his ego out too much and he can keep his feet on the ground while doing well on the field and also learn something in college so he has something to fall back on when the career in football is fading. I just have this silly notion that school is supposed to mean something more than friday and saturday night games . So what is your complaint now against me BA? That I didnt send my kids to Flint Schools? If so talk to the half dozen parents who my kids were friends with in those private schools, they are Flint School teachers themselves. Sort of a sobering thought isn't that one?

Lets just say it was an eye opening experience for her to say the least. _________________ "If you like your current healthcare you can keep it, Period"!! Barack Hussein Obama--- multiple times.

Son graduated in 85, Daughter in 90. If they were school age today, they would NOT be in the Flint Public Schools. _________________ I used to care, but I take a pill for that now.
