“I wish everyone traveled with their own personal drug dog. It sure would make our job easier.”
Which reveals pretty much how most cops feel about their duties - it's not about protecting people or catching criminals, it's about easy arrests, easy tickets, and revenue.
Oh but thank God we have this Hero protecting us from the villainous scum pot smokers. I mean, my God, if the officer hadn't come along, he might have gone to a motel room and committed the heinous crime of feeling alright and laughing at the television.
White Middle Class Democrat Have never owned a firearm Have likely never fired a firearm Have never lived anywhere that a firearm would be useful, either for hunting or defense.
Ignorance leads to fear, fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate. I haven't met a single person who bothered to learn about the proper care and handling of firearms who makes the knee jerk reaction GUNS=BAD!
You will only arrive at that conclusion through sheer sheltered ignorance.
"Its bad enough that a lot of americans are obsessed with guns (oh yeah, for defense)"
Ahem:
"According to the National Self Defense Survey conducted by Florida State University criminologists in 1994, the rate of Defensive Gun Uses can be projected nationwide to approximately 2.5 million per year -- one Defensive Gun Use every 13 seconds."
"Those types of guns can only be used for one thing: To kill other people"
Never mind that the vast, vast majority of rounds squeezed off in this country are fired at *targets*.
As for the image at the bottom of the page ("Do you believe in Allah? Your [sic] about to meet him") I'm just delighted that the idiot who put that together doesn't comprehend your/you're.
"Until a man is twenty-five, he still thinks, every so often, that under the right circumstances he could be the baddest motherfucker in the world. If I moved to a martial-arts monastery in China and studied real hard for ten years. If my family was wiped out by Colombian drug dealers and I swore myself to revenge. If I got a fatal disease, had one year to live, and devoted it to wiping out street crime. If I just dropped out and devoted my life to being bad. Hiro used to feel this way, too, but then he ran into Raven. In a way, this was liberating. He no longer has to worry about being the baddest motherfucker in the world. The position is taken."
"I can comfortably vent my frustrations to a number of people, and yet most men I have known have no one."
True, too true. Lost my best (female) friend a handful of years ago over money borrowed and not paid back. (To be fair I gave her 2 years to pay back $600, not unreasonable IMO.)
Since then I haven't had anyone, really, to confide in. Luckily I have some rather evolved male friends that can serve in that role to come extent, but it's not the same.
I've never been averse to crying, but it's still the man-flavor of crying: Alone, quietly, with a bottle. I'm not comfortable crying in the company of other men, so much so that I've used CL to find like minded females with whom I can watch shows and movies that elicit tears (Buffy, Brokeback Mountain, Toy Story 3 etc)
The trope about women wanting sensitive guys who aren't afraid to cry is, as far as I can tell, an almost entirely hollow assertion. Success trumps substance ten times over.
You act like the roads and the social programs were bestowed upon all of us free of charge and we are thus indebted to the government.
I pay taxes, they pay taxes, we all pay taxes. The roads are ours, the roads are theirs. We paid for them.

And, actually, all one needs to avoid having to wear one is a vehicle manufactured prior to what, 1978? Something like that.
come on, you could have at least made up a number less than 7,000,000,000

'Hack' in the contemporary vernacular, in the most general sense, simply means 'repurpose".
