"Do not feed the trolls"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An Internet troll, or simply troll in Internet slang, is someone who posts controversial and irrelevant or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum or chat room, with the intention of provoking other users into an emotional response[1] or to generally disrupt normal on-topic discussion.[2]

I walk my kids to the bus stop every morning, rain or shine. Every morning the other parents drive their kids to our stop. Parking all down in the street and in the neighbor's grass leaving their engines on burnning big brown spots on the edge of the lawns of folks who don't even have kids in school.
For the most part it is because they are out of shape and lazy. They can't walk a city block if their lives depended on it. The same people that will circle walmart's parking lot for a half hour to save 30 feet of walking.
Some poor souls are bound to a wheelchair or even bed for life, wishing and praying for any chance at all to be able to stand or walk ever again... And most others are too lazy to walk, even just a short block to a bus stop. Don't blame the store, blame your lazyness and diet cokes.

My son's bus stop is about 2 or so blocks from my house. I don't walk because I have a 2yr old I'd have to carry or push in a stroller. NOt to mention that I'm due in November. My son's bus doesn't have air conditioning so he is extremely hot after a 45 minute ride across town with no air. I pick him up in an air conditioned car. We get exercise later in the day. I don't drink soda either. I don't park on anyone's personal property. I park at a public park that I pay for with my taxes. I don't agree with parents who park on someone's grass. However, I think your comment was way off. The original poster is just wanting the stop moved to a safer location without adverse advertising and shady establishments. As a tax paying voter and citizen, she has the right to challenge the school system and offer a solution. What you have done by your rude and offensive comments is offer no help what so ever. Remember: It is dangerous to put people into categories.

Just a quick update. The bus stop will be relocated to a less traveled road one block over from the original stop on Monday the 13th of October. We (the parents) feel very good about this move and pray all will be fine there.
Thanks to all for the positive feedback.
