Re: Controversial closing of local Theatre Outre location causes outrage

Well written, and well said. I actually feel sorry for people who try to spread such ignorance and hatred. It's pathetic and one of the many issues in this world we live in that I sincerely hope can change.

I am so sorry this has happened to your business. I just recently heard of you guys and was thrilled that Lethbridge was finally embracing all of its citizens. It is a complete outrage and proof of how unaccepting, uncultured, and backwoods Lethbridge residents truly can be. Seriously child molestation, rape, and getting std's from toilet seats how ignorant.

Actually, after scaling the hieght and length of the picture, I think it's a ford ranger with a topper.

not wise to play chicken with a train. the train always wins, with hundreds of thousands of dollars damage and often loss of life.

You're argument isn't valid, speeding has been repeatedly shown to be an overwhelming factor in traffic related deaths everyday. The only Marijuana related death that I can think of at the moment was the guy who choked to death on his baggie trying to swallow it as he was being arrested.

I am not a Marijuana user myself but even I can see that law enforcement and the Government is doing more harm to the people than the drug itself.

Sorry, I don’t receive notifications anymore since I’m no longer involved with the site. When I was with Lethbridge News we did discuss putting up advertising. The revenue at the time generated from advertising would not have been enough to significantly compensate anyone. I have no idea what the stats would be now though.

I wanna see some wins from the boys. Play the game right. Even if you lose it's alright, but just play the game right. Coaching players is also important!

Re: Lethbridge School District Board to oppose oil drilling project in West Lethbridge

Daryl — Fri, 20 Dec 2013 14:58:39 -0000

The article is missing one important piece of information. Why is the board opposing the project? What did the review involve?

So glad to see the board acting quickly on such an important issue

Such a tragic end to this story. My thoughts, prayers and condolences go out to the Elliott family.

Re: Taber Police Charge Individual with Trafficking Offence

Robert Bench — Mon, 16 Dec 2013 10:18:05 -0000

by that logic: 100% of people have exceeded the speed limit in their cars so the speed limit should also be abolished??? The biggest obstacle to decriminalization is the fact that the majority of the proponents (and all of the vocal ones) are simply stoners. There may well be dozens of great reasons and logic to legalize, but when your advocates are Spicolli and Cheech, the arguments are taken much less seriously, if not dismissed completely. In this case, the dude had 3 pounds! that is a bit more than personal use.

Hi Lethbridge. I hope everyone traveled safely yesterday. Unfortunately my father was not so lucky. His tractor trailer unit was blown over by the winds along with others. Beside some bruises he seems to be alright. Safe travels everyone.

Re: Man attacked by 20 coyotes at dog run

Gotta agree with Jenny on this one. I love to jog in that area but it's common sense that you don't jog in a wilderness or near-wilderness area after dark - especially with a pet.

Re: Massage therapist acquitted of sexual assault

Massage Diva — Mon, 02 Dec 2013 19:03:53 -0000

That is the point I made when you first posted this. That it seems that all you do is take off of the police reports when charges are laid, yet no follow up.
So cyber space forever has the charges out there and you don't bother to do investigative journalism and it's damaging to the person acquitted.
That's exactly what has happened again with you. I wasn't being rude; I was stating facts

To whom it may concern (AKA Massage Diva):

Since receiving your comment on our Leth News website, we have updated the Leth News site with the more current information.

We appreciate your comment and the opportunity it gave us to improve on outdated information.

With that being said, there's no need to be rude. The site is run

If the team says they want to win, they certainly don't all play like it. Why don't they go out and play like they want to win then? Can't just think you want it. Go out and %{%*_%# want it!
