BCT is right. Gay needs to stop being used at the all-purpose word for "lame", or "stupid", or anything else. Adults in school need to stop ignoring it, and start treating it the same way they treat other taboo words. View Comment

Rippowam is on the city bus routes, and it's directly in the center of the city of Stamford, reachable by anyone. The only reason these parents don't want the Adult Ed in their building is bigotry, plain and simple. If the building has room (it does), and it's going to save the BOE money (it will), we need to go forward with the plan. Or else, if they want to reserve that huge building for the possible expansion of their IB program, let's take the $126,000 away from student funding at Ripp to make up for it. How's that for a good idea? Any parents want to protest that? View Comment

You realized it wasn't a bad Christmas after all? Um, it kind of was the worst possible Christmas for that poor woman and her family. I agree with the previous poster, this article is in very poor taste. Yes, it's clear that you didn't die this Christmas, and apparently no one in your family died this Christmas, but the least you could do would be to reflect on this tragedy in a more substantial way than you have. Actually, the least you could do is see that this article is taken down immediately. I'm sure you didn't intend it, but you sound like a selfish brat. View Comment

All of you who are so sure you got to where you are by your extraordinary hard work, are leaving out the fact that it was the taxes paid by the 99% (it wasn't your paltry capital gains taxes) that paid for your schooling, built your roads, secured your home and belongings by paying for fire and police protection and a host of other things that helped you get there. I want to ask you one question--if you're earning a good living, and are comfortable, would you say that you work hard for your money? Do I hear a yes? Okay, so the guy who's your boss, who presumably makes more money than you--would you say he works even harder than you? Let's say he makes twice as much money as you do--does he work twice as hard? No? Well, if not, why not? I thought hard work and money went hand in hand. How about the guy who cleans the toilets at your office? Hard worker? I guess not, because he probably makes minimum wage. A job like that must be pretty easy and fun to earn so little money. All this garbage about how "I work hard so I deserve every penny I get" ignores the fact that the tax laws in this country have been set up to favor the wealthy since Ronald Regan was president, and it's only gotten worse. It's THAT, not your laudable hard work, that got you where you are today, and it's THAT that the OWS movement wants to end. At least admit that much and stop congratulating yourself. View Comment

Clearly, the owners of this site are just interested in how many clicks the site gets. It's too bad that in doing that, they pit school against school, with no thought to need or anything else. I wish they would come up with some other sort of contest, but I have a feeling this is the easiest way for them to get the most traffic--multiple emails per person or not. It's a good site, but it leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I prefer www.itsrelevant.com. Their content is updated more frequently, and no, I don't work there. View Comment

It's Forker, actually. Typo View Comment
