Comment on: 'Ex-Gardner officer arraigned on child rap charges'
This keeps coming up in the most recent stories lists. Will someone please correct the title? Seriously. Child rap charges? more »

Comment on: 'Conn. committee fails to vote on residency bill'
Or they could just stop telling homeless people their kids don't live where they sleep, but at some arbitrary address they haven't seen in months or years. more »

Comment on: 'Boston police clamp down on slam dancing'
They need to crack down on this kind of senseless violence elsewhere too. I was walking by the local high school, and there was a GANG BRAWL happening just behind the building! Two groups of masked yo more »

Comment on: 'Company asks dismissal of Confederate flag case'
At first blush, this seems like a waste of time. The right to speech is not "the right to speech unless you're an idiot". I suspect this is still in the courts because of the questions it raises about more »

Comment on: 'Minn. student suspended over Michael Jackson dance'
So someone complained about a school-approved dance and the administration figured they'd throw the 9 yr old under the bus. Classy. How about you admit that approving it was a mistake, apologize for Y more »

Forum Post: Famous folks from Somerville?
Really? Wikipedia, <1 minute, and I'm already baffled. You went with Hal Clement instead of Isaac Asimov? Cherilus instead of Howie Long? more »

Comment on: 'Bruins winger Brad Marchand begins five-game suspension'
@AtlSTEVE This seems to pretty clearly stipulate the knees, since they repeat it 4 times: 44.1 Clipping - Clipping is the act of throwing the body, from any direction, across or below the knees of an more »

Comment on: 'Court rules against teen in marijuana cookie case'
The presence of police makes this a very different matter for me. The kid has the right to remain silent, and when the school threatens to expel him unless he gives up that right they cross a line. Th more »

Comment on: 'Mass. gov. plans Paris trip for wife's birthday'
In other news, Gov. Patrick has a special gift for xenophobic half-literate commenters on Boston.com-- a trip for him and his wife to France. Seriously, I'm a little disappointed in the wingnuts. I th more »

Comment on: 'Atheist messages displace CA park nativity scenes'
How about you just decorate your churches, houses, cars, businesses, etc. and let the public space be public space? There was a lottery, you lost, end of story. Yes, the guys who put up a scene making more »

Comment on: 'Sandwich arrest stirs debate over eating in stores'
I think saving the wrapper is a pretty good indication that they intended to pay. You'd think security would use some common sense. "Oh dear, we didn't put the wrapper through. Here's $5. Sorry, our m more »

Comment on: 'Following Globe stories on mislabeled fish, state officials say they’
"I know this is vitriolic, no-solution spleen venting, but I feel better having screamed, don't you?" - REM, Ignoreland A lot of people who scream about government regulation killing jobs are now scre more »

Comment on: '64 taken into custody at UMass-UNH game'
In other words, a grand total of 6 people were arrested for something other than underage drinking. How does that compare to a Pats game? Of 48 people who were taken into protective custody for intoxi more »

Comment on: 'Supermarkets start bagging self-serve checkouts'
I feel like the people who expect a discount if they use the self-checkout would never see it as a self-checkout discount-- they'd scream and yell and whine about how they had to pay a CASHIER TAX(!!! more »

Comment on: New England Patriots player opens crepe restaurant from Business Updates
It must be really difficult to keep track of all the things you can't do as an uber-straight yahdood. Just to be clear, are crepes off limits because flour, eggs, milk, and salt are too complex for ou more »

Comment on: 'Sen. Brown: New beer rule is a job killer'
@MisterBeasley Totally agree. The real story here is the ridiculous oligopoly the distributors have here in MA (as well as other states, both red and blue). They should rename the category "small batc more »

Comment on: 'Green Line extension put off until 2018'
@Losif - "Somerville is vast and sprawled out area". Somerville is a city of 75,00 people with a land area of about 4 sq miles, the most densely populated city in New England. Want to try again? more »

Comment on: Boston rolls out new bike-sharing program - Back Bay - Your Town - Boston.com
When coming up to a light that's turning red, I fully expect to see all of the following: 1) Cars blatantly ignoring the light. I'm not talking about "it's yellow, speed up!" drivers. Full seconds aft more »

Comment on: Somerville wins 11 Best of Boston awards - Somerville - Your Town - Boston.com
@enberg - Call it Slummerville, Scummerville, whatever makes you feel better. Somerville don't care. It's the honey badger of the Boston area. Do you really refuse to understand that the term "Boston" more »

Comment on: Your address predicts your team - The Boston Globe
How about actually looking at the numbers-- you started the ball rolling with Modells. Why not grab stats from a few more chains, try to get some TV ratings or uptake on the different sports packages, more »

Comment on: 'BC asks for IRA project secrecy'
There are numerous problems here, aside from the ridiculous comments. The blanket request is problematic for the American justice system. You need to have specifics in our courts. Who is requesting th more »

Comment on: 'NHL deserves assist on hit'
Chara's hit was an interference. He got beat and he gave Pacioretty a shove to prevent a breakaway. If the Habs fix the rink, this problem won't keep happening. Comparing these two hits is ridiculous, more »
Oh come on, people. It's not unreasonable to assume that the gun club would have safety precautions in place that would control where the bullets are going. These people aren't complaining about the n more »
