Here are some of the issues area residents are discussing. The statements were phoned in anonymously, so the Courier does not vouch for their veracity, nor do we know what motivated the callers:

 

Why should people from another country be able to come here and file for Social Security or disability checks when they have not worked here any time at all when people like you and me have worked here all our lives? Most of them are illegal anyway.

People driving distracted, texting, talking on phones, and they end up killing someone because of it should be tried with murder one. Technology is great, but all of it should be banned except hands-free calling for drivers.
Where can I find the petition to require spaying and neutering in Liberty County? I’ll be the first to sign up. Responsible pet owners have no problem with that and microchipping our beloved pets.

If you ever have a chance to watch “Paranormal Activity,” don’t. It’s the worst movie I’ve ever seen.

Some fool in the Jan. 31 paper suggested a SPLOST tax in Long County to pay for the bypass around Hinesville. Don’t they do drug tests anymore?
I’m so sick and tired of Obama blaming others for his mistakes. When will he step up and accept his responsibilities?

It’s complete bravo sierra when your existing players are promised spots on the team next year. Everyone should
be on the same footing.

Instead of enforcing furloughs, I think they should just do away with sports. That way we’re not spending money on buses for just some and we could keep them all in school so they can get the education they deserve.

HOW TO PACIFY AN IRATE CALLER

These opinions are not the Courier’s. Callers are not required to identify themselves, so we can verify neither sources nor motives. You may also anonymously submit a comment online at http://coastalcourier.com/forms/soundoff.

“I am so sick of hearing and reading about Chick-fil-A opening on Sunday. This family is a Christian family and no Chick-fil-A has ever been open on Sunday. There are many other restaurants open on Sundays.”

“Thank you, former county Commissioner John McIver and city Councilman Chris Stacy for looking out for the people of Riceboro. There are many residents there who have died of cancer recently and no one else is caring for the people.”

“I glad we got a new chief, Kirkendall. I don’t know what he’s done, but I’m going to give him a chance.”

“Why won’t the sheriff’s department do anything about the four-wheelers screaming up and down the roads in Woodland Lakes and Lake George? And the BOA in Lake George won’t do anything either.”

“My God, American people, we are patriots by nature. How in the world could we have allowed so many Russians to be connected to a campaign for president? That’s not patriotic.”

“The worst neighbor in Rye Patch lets his dog run free and poop on others’ property. He’s too cheap to buy trash bags so his trash blows onto others’ property. And he’s just an annoying jerk.”

“Thank you, Niki Seale for writing a sensible letter to the editor in the April 4. I full support your views.”

“Sadly, being white and raised in Liberty County, I never really understood the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. But today, marking the 50th anniversary of his assassination, I realize that has changed over the last year and a half. I enjoyed all the articles in the Coastal Courier. And I think his significance is ever more important than ever.”
