Why would you make such ignorant comment. They should make it a law that dumb people do not have access to computers. We need to get rid of them b/c that park houses alot of rec. games and our communities children play there. You must not have children or you wouldn't be making uneducated comments.

Well actually the park considerng fire ants are not natives to this area. They started in south america and are gradually making there way up north. So before you also make dumb statements do some research! IT was some ding dong who had to buy shit out of country b/c they don't want to pay a fellow american for dirt and mulch for our country!
Please

Lol. They may not be native here, but the red ants were still around in the area before the park was built.

Yea yea, we have to keep the kids safe. Agreed. But a news story on this?

Fire ants have just as much right to be here as we do. Insects have the same rights as people.

LOL!!! I have some cockroaches that need a good home to invade, is there a P.E.T.I sanctuary? Maybe we should start an organization called P.E.T.C (Peoples Ethical Treatment of Criminals) where we can sit down and sing Kum Ba Yah, and break bread with hard core criminals and terrorist. We could start a slogan,“Hug a Terrorist” and we could be know as the “Terrorist Huggers.” Lets get on the nearest plane and go to Pakistan, were we could spread the word of our undying love for Hardcore Criminals, Terrorist, Murders, Killers, Rapist,- Yeah, I'll think I will pass on that one.

Actually the headline is not correct.
We ants really expressed no desire to close the park, and did not do so.
We are perfectly happy to co-habitate with all people regardless of skin color, religion, or political affiliation.
We, without any discriminatory thoughts whatsoever will 'light up' any human that gets near us.
It is our nature.
We come in peace.
