New Haven Independent

When you look to the government to solve the school problem that's a problem, because the financial burden ends up falling on me.

Quite frankly I'm tired of the gov't taxing me to try to correct problems that quite frankly will never be corrected. How about I be responsible for my family, and you be responsible for my family....and I'll gladly help others along the way, but as I SEE FIT.

The last "unprecedented partnership among the public, philanthropic, and government sectors" back in the 60s pretty nearly destroyed New Haven, displacing more than a quarter of its population and destroying neighborhoods and businesses. With friends like the Ford Foundation, who needs enemies!?

this is a money grab for the Obama administration's race to the top money and these fools are buying it. Not one teacher will lose their job under New Haven's "school reform" and no one from the current troika will be around to see it through.

Hate-mongering (definition):

1.)A person who uses political beliefs or passions of any kind as a platform
to express hatred...

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, my friend, but posting an link to an article that is a reprint of another article full of quotes from other media sources all (obviously) slanted against the current administration in this context is silly, especially when the article focuses on military build-up and health care and the topic here is private philanthropy.

I stand by what I said...your post here is hate-mongering and off-topic.

Again you have fail To show me that my post is Hate-mongering. In fact look at the other two post.

pdh "unprecedented partnership among the public, philanthropic, and government sectors" back in the 60s pretty nearly destroyed New Haven, displacing more than a quarter of its population and destroying neighborhoods and businesses. With friends like the Ford Foundation, who needs enemies!?

Would you say this person is hate-mongering.

Please read the article. The author, Mr Allen Arpell, attended a lecture at the New Haven Lawn Club. A talk was given by Mr. Steve Gungerson on the changing nature of philanthropy in America today. Then William Ginsberg of the Council For Greater New Haven spoke about the local efforts on school reform.

Now read your comment...
"The real deal on Obama. Keep drinking the kool aid."
And your link to an article about military policy and health care reform.

Using the comment section for this article to post an anti-Obama link is the very definition of hate-mongering. Your feelings about the president have nothing to do with this story. It shows that you have no respect for the reporter, the story, the New Haven Independent or your fellow readers.

Is that clear enough for you...??

First of all you are not the reporter and you didn't write the story. So who are you to say
that I have no respect for the reporter. In fact I don't hear him complaining or any of my fellow readers!!! You are the only post I see complaining. Again How come one of the other post talks about obama and you said nothing about it,But you label me as hate-monger. You need to look in the mirror and it will tell you what a hate-monger looks like.

I commented on your post because I had time. I usually don't. The fact that you would throw up a generic anti-Obama comment here shows that you have no respect for the reporter or his story. If disliking random, hateful comments is wrong, then I am guilty. I am not condemning you as a person, but if you are going to take the time to post a comment, it should be insightful and on topic. If you cannot add something meaningful to the story, just move on. Spamming the comment section with your general political views is immature and so are your insults.

What is it that you don't understand.This is a online forum allows all points of views. In fact I see the problem and that is as you said you usually don't have the time.Not my problem. May be you should make more time to find out about ow this online forum works. But tell me this why are you the only one complaining. Last if you feel that this is spamming. Than do like I do trash it and move on!!!

P.S. I agree that it is time for me to move on to another off topic so I hope you have time to read this good online paper and feel free to follow me.

This is not an online forum for people to express thier views. It is a comment section for the article at the top of the page. You have mis-used it. Admit your mistake and move on.

Come to think of it are you not off topic by focusing on what I said on this post. Are you not giving you point of view on what I said. Again why are you the only one complaining.

P.S.I commented on your post because I had time. I usually don't.

You seem to have time now.

I am making the time. You may win face to face arguments by being stubborn, angry and unreasonable, calling people names, accusing them of things, questioning their intellegence or motivation, implying predjudice, changing the subject, bringing up things that have nothing to do with the arguement, etc., but it won't work here. All that matter here are facts. The fact is that your original post was off-topic and hateful. It is right at the top of the comment section for everyone to see. There is nothing that you can say will make it ok to post a hateful, off-topic comment at the bottom of a local news story. It is a childish waste of everyones time.

What's wrong,It is just a post.In fact I got a phone call and some of the people who post on this site who don't always agree with me said what is you problem.Or have you not notice that Know one else is paying any mind to us,Cause if they did they would have post somthing. Tell you what
I am going to say it in my caribbean dialect. Me go help you out!!! Read some Carl Jung and Sigmund Freud . Read what they wrote.

Anger is a mixture of both emotional and physical changes. A big flow of energy goes through your body as chemicals, such as adrenaline, are released. Once the cause of the anger is solved, you may still have to deal with its physical effects (in order to get rid of that extra energy). This can be taken out on another person, such as a partner, or an object - by kicking or hitting a wall, for example.

Angry and irritated reactions are ridiculous and absurd because people should rationally understand what was the reason for their pain without feeling angry. First of all, it is important to be aware of the positive feelings you get from anger as well as the negative ones. By recognizing both the positive and negative feelings associated with the situation, it's necessary to find other means and concentrate on the positives ones.

Feelings are different for different people, therefore, the solutions will be different, too. Though there are some strategies that might be useful for many of them, such as:

Remember to stay a human being. Most of the time people will forget the incident caused by your compulsive behavior, but it is good to learn how to keep emotions and irritation under control and talk to someone about your anger if it is an ongoing problem.

Not to be ashamed or embarrassed about your feelings and behavior, but try to understand and reason why you become angry so you can deal with these issues.

Use humor, it can help coping up with difficult situation and try to see things in a nice way.

It is useful to seek help from family, friends, relatives or corresponding organizations so you don't burn out.

Trying a non-contact competitive sport.

Learning meditation or relaxation.

Screaming in a quiet place, alone.

Running

Banging fists on the pillow.

If all this still does not help your condition, make sure to sit down and understand as to what exactly makes you angry and nervous. Most often it will involve a person, or people, so maybe it is good to start handling the problem by working the things out with them first. It is important that you remember to address and confront the problem itself, and not the person. Determine the nature of the problem and how it makes you feel. And again, be clear that it is the problem - not the person - that makes you feel like this. It is also important to understand each other's viewpoint of the situation. Each person should be able to express his/her opinion about what they think of the problem, and not being interrupted by the other. After this, establish the points where you disagree. Do not argue about the disagreements yet, just agree to disagree. This is how you define the problem.

Notice it says Do not argue about the disagreements yet, just agree to disagree. This is how you define the problem. So this is all I can show to do. If this will not work, I have some friends in new york that work here and will be glad to call them to help you with this problem that you seem to have with me and what I wrote.

I'm not angry at all, but I think that you are in denial.

The Foundation has been positive and forward thinking at a difficult time. The discussion in this article - about the new paradigm and partnering on school reform - is an important example.
In addition CFGNH has targeted the West River neighborhood as a special project.
West River activists have made important progress in a once transitional neighborhood, but they need partners in government and the private sector to sustain that progress. Praise to the Foundation for their work.
