Imo, posting the above message would have been sufficient, for a first infraction. And I agree with the post: it doesn't always have to be about race. I'm pretty sure I'd have shot the 12 year old too, under the circs.

And many still won't admit the deck is stacked. I just saw a short vid on Youtube, where a black man recorded an encounter with a cop, in Pontiac. The cop says he was sent because someone called in about a black man walking down the street [on the sidewalk] with his hands in his pockets. This...

The conservative image of lazy people collecting welfare [free rent, cell phones, heating, food stamps, etc] because they don't want to work is not supported by facts. The teachers' union, like all unions, does not have the final say or the ultimate power in negotiations - if they get 'too...

It helps to accept that the address is more of a suggested starting point, or the beginning of the end of the trip, lol. Usually, it's the mailing address [because that's important], not the shipping address, which may well be on another street. You'll find a totally different name on the...

I know 12 year olds often disregard parental teaching, [know it from personal experience on both ends], but when it's really, truly, life threateningly serious, parents need to make sure their kids understand that. I used to take fitness classes at Cudell Rec Center, but it's a whole different...

Also get sick of reading that Obama is "Marxist" and/or Muslim - he is lots of things, but neither of those. It's hard to credit people with intelligence when they keep repeating such nonsense, just to show their disdain. There's no shortage of genuine reasons to complain, making them up is just...

I just get tired of reading "the government is inherently evil" posts, over & over & over. Either the OP doesn't know what 'inherently' means, or he is in favor of anarchy.

You may be correct, and the government will muck it up bigtime. I certainly didn't say they won't - I said that saying it's "highly likely" based on the VA is not a factual representation. They have done a much better job with Medicare, because the seniors demand it. Hopefully, when the entire...

I'd rather your neighbors be strong too - my safety [and the country's future] might well depend on it. I really would like to be proud of my country, and my neighbors, too. I like good people, whatever form or color they take. I don't believe it's 'coddling' to try to understand what caused a...

Totally agree that the owner is a POS and a scumbag of a human being, too. Subzero: I gather you've got it covered - if not, post again, please. No one wants to worry that you're stranded. For future reference, [and for others who need cheap transpo] check the Megabus routes. It's meant for...

I've had a handheld scanner [like Neat Receipts, but waaay less expensive] for 8 or 9 years, though I don't use it anymore, because Load 1 provides one that works the same way. I also like an app called Drive Axle, that sends a photo to any fax or email [I send them to myself, and they look...

Steve: I don't find those colors [now that I'm done cracking up over some of them, lol]. Just black, navy, red, and some in pink or royal blue, so where's all the interesting ones? I know: my amusement cost me the discount, but that's ok, it's still a good deal. :)

That's the downside to truly inventive brains: they get out of whack sometimes - it goes with the territory. Whatever else Doug was guilty of, he kept this site interesting, all by himself sometimes. I think that makes up for a lot, [especially on a website], but it's not a decision we get to...

I'm still thinking much of the blame belongs to the parents. How could they NOT teach their child the danger of waving a gun [even a toy] around in public these days? And did they know the telltale orange tip had been removed? They're complaining about the officer's behavior, why is no one...

The OP said "PROVEN beyond a shadow of a doubt", and that is simply not true. Nor is "highly likely" true, based on the fact that they haven't yet - things change. They change faster when there are agents nudging them along, and the vets just haven't been very vociferous about the healthcare...

As far as 'thug culture', I totally agree - but on the welfare issue, your thinking is out of date. If black men had decent paying jobs, women would have much preferred them to government 'assistance', but since they didn't, [even when anyone could get a job, they had poor education &...

It's best if you ask the recruiters at carriers you're considering, as there may be different responses. Just offhand, I think if it didn't involve logging, following HOS regulations, and DOT inspections, it wouldn't count. I could be wrong though....

He was talking to a friend of mine at the Expo when I called her, and when she asked where I was, he pulled out his phone & told her, before I could, lol. [I'd stopped enroute for ice, didn't really know where I was, precisely] I'd have had some negative things to say if it had been anyone else...

That the government hasn't provided proper health care to the small fraction of the 13% of citizens who are veterans is fact - that they can't is not. Intelligence is knowing the difference.

Post 44 is typical, and I see nothing intelligent in the thinking that government is inherently evil.
