Letters on the dump, porn, and Spanglish
Re: raising the age of consent - for everything? Including voting? We should have one age of majority. If someone is adult enough to do X, they're adult enough to do Y. And vice-versa. Maybe 18 isn't the right age. Maybe 21 is. or 16. or 25. But we need to pick, and stick with, one.— January 12, 2017 8:55 a.m.
No news is bad news in North County
Never heard of 'em.— January 12, 2017 8:53 a.m.
Working class stiffed in Barrio Logan project?
"It should all be affordable housing, not just two units," Beltran said. Sounds like he should buy the property and develop it correctly! Oh, wait... that isn't what he wants at all! He wants someone else to pay so he can benefit! I bet he believes he should be first in line for an "affordable" house that he finds acceptable. All housing is affordable, or it won't sell.— January 10, 2017 11:10 a.m.
Downtown protest of Trump cabinet picks
OH NO, "climate protesters" are protesting! We should do something! Wait! I know! Ignore them. Sooner or later they'll wander off. What a bunch of dopes...— January 10, 2017 11:07 a.m.
One-stop vote and Kasparian protest
Unions are nothing but trouble. They outlived their usefulness decades ago and have become nothing but Communist mouthpieces, looking to enrich themselves.— January 9, 2017 10:02 a.m.
Costly backstory of a big-money political power couple
Well, one thing is clear... we desperately need more government and more noble, selfless servants of the people having more money and power to make sure we do what's best for us and not question our betters!— January 3, 2017 2:42 p.m.
Stop ticketing the homeless, Mayor Faulconer
No, no, no... we should step up enforcement, not reduce it! Illegal camping, trespassing, littering, illegal fires, possession of stolen property, public urination and defecation... if we slack off, we'll get more of those things, not less! There is no "comprehensive housing solution". I know the do-gooders like to pretend that the homeless are all noble, upstanding people who got screwed, and all they need is a nice new house and all will be well. But that is the polar opposite of the truth. The ranks of the homeless are composed primarily of the mentally ill, who, if they cannot care for themselves, should be cared for by society but on OUR terms... locked facility, basics, no option to harm themselves and others. The do-gooders oppose that. Most of the rest are drug addicts, thieves, molesters, stupid, antisocial... the list goes on. The few who want help, who can be helped, and will accept help should be helped. The rest should be locked up or kicked and beaten out of town.— January 3, 2017 2:38 p.m.
Philippines' violence may spare UCSD grad
This is ridiculous. The US cannot become the dumping ground for everyone who's afraid of violence in the world. Deportation orders need to be followed with a swift deportation, not decades of "But I really don't want to go!" Let them file motions at the nearest US Consulate in their home country.— January 3, 2017 8:41 a.m.
Kwanzaa -- 12/26/17 at WorldBeat Cultural Center

It’s always the season of giving
And? We wouldn't need private prisons to cut costs if the government-run ones weren't rife with waste and fraud and inefficiency. Nobody can ever be fired, everybody is entitled to a lifetime gold-plated pension and Cadillac health care (of course exempted from the penalties that any private-sector employer would be forced to pay for offering such a package), all we can do is spend more and more and more, and if we don't get results the only possible answer is to spend more. We used to have a system where government employment gave the job security and a secure, modest pension in return for a lower salary than you'd get doing something else. Public employee unions ruined that. Government employees are simply too expensive now. Until that's fixed, privatization of as much as possible is the only answer, and if corners get cut for felons, well, too bad. I pay too much in taxes and receive too little for what I pay, while government action whittles down my retirement through taxes and inflation. I really don't give a fig if burglars and rapists and thieves get moldy green balogna served by a $12 per hour flunky.— December 22, 2016 9:31 a.m.
