First of all, to those who posted in response to me I would like to say a few things.(this is going to be fun) First off, I never said I believed or didn't believe in the Bible or its teachings I merely stated the fact that some people did so that I didn't offend anyone. To Jim, the burden of proof is not on me it is on the one who claims that ghosts are real, they are making the claim. I would like to see proof. Secondly to Stacie. This is in no way shape or form a religious debate. Ghosts, goblins and the boogie man as far I know are not religious so I am curious as to why you think there is some relevance there. As far as offending anyone on the South side or the Island area that was not my intention. I cannot help how you perceive things. The truth is the truth however and I stand by what I posted. If someone is offended, well I can't help that. Things are what they are and not talking about them won't make them go away or make them untrue. I didn't create the situation I am only pointing out that it exists. I could care less if it changes(Island Crack houses) I don't have to live there (thank God)(oops another religious remark)and I don't use drugs so it doesn't affect me. If what I say offends those that live there; good! let them get off their butts and change their environment. They live there let them fight for the neighborhood they want. Just because I point out the obvious doesn't mean I have created the problem. And to Shirley. Shirley Shirley ,Shirley. This has nothing to do with faith my dear. As far as speaking in absolutes I can and I will about ghosts, goblins and other such nonsense. THEY DO NOT EXIST!! Not now , Not ever! They are a figment of peoples imagination. Where do you folks come from? Who brought you up? How could anyone bring their children up believing in such nonsense? Anyone who believes such nonsense is real has some serious mental issues to deal with and I suggest they seek professional counseling. My intent was to set the record straight not to offend anyone although I guess sometimes the two go hand in hand By the way Shirley or should I say "Sherlock" Excellent observation in your post. Permit me to quote you "my guess is that you aren't dead" Brilliant observation!! You are ready for a Bartles and James commercial. You realized that someone who can type thoughts and post to this forum isn't dead!! Bravo, well done! And I thought there wasn't any intelligence in this forum. Thanks for proving me wrong !! It has been fun rattling your chains though(pun intended) I had no idea we had so many who believed in such nonsense, I am surprised that there aren't more UFO reports in Butler County also judging by the general consensus of the population. Very weird, Are people in Butler actually this bored or do they just do that many drugs????regards, John
