GIJEW is absolutely correct. Like everything else, statistics are always geared towards the point a person is trying to make, like politicians who use the same example to prove two different points. Very extensive research has been done about crime rates and it turns out that it has very little...
I don't trust my children with anyone I don't know, and I am not the typical INGO member, most of you would consider me a left wing dirty comi, I hate violence and guns. That being said, I appreciate organizations like this that promote responsible gun ownership which is the only counter weight...
revance is right. I'm having a hard time liking Indiana too and I've been here 18 years, but the permit application process is simpler, and I'm lucky enough to live in Lawrence instead of Indianapolis, so the trip to the police department was a lot simpler and quicker
I go once every great while. I am a smoker and a social drinker, meaning a couple of drinks and that's about it, I do not get drunk or "buzzed", I actually like the taste of beer so I always keep some at home and I'll have a beer in the evening about once a week, but I agree with some of the...
Typical. Probably one of the most crowded places in the world, so driving is almost out of the question and there is not even enough room for public transit. That is eye opening though, and I think we're all thankful we don't have to endure that
Two things I can tell everyone as a driver who can sometimes be a little towards the aggressive side when I'm in a hurry, and as someone who has dealt with trucks and truck acciedents for years:
Don't tailgate a truck, even when they are stopped and you pull up behind them, the simple rule is...
What you speak of is fine in theory, but in the real world it does not work. In theory I'm with you, but applying that is not practical. I pay $700 a month in health insurance for me and my family, and we're in good health. With what you refer to as Obama Care, I would be paying about $525...
I'm with Blackhawk 2001. If they approach it right it should be just fine, and an appreciated effort to keep the citizens safe, but if they get all Barney Fife on everyone, it's probably going to get ugly, and lawyers are going to make some money. Let's hope for the former rather than latter...
I am very much in agreement about the hypocracy of it all. It's never OK when either parent leaves, but we make a bigger deal of it when it's the mother because it is far less common. As mentioned in one of the earlier comments, one could love their kids dearly but not enjoy the parenting...
I don't know about shooting blind like that, but then again, are you supposed to wait till the person has already gotten in your living room?
If that becomes the standard, it's a problem
I mean what about practical jokes?
What if the neighbors come home drunk and try to walk into your house...
Agreed about Fox firing us up for the symptom instead of the cause. We were happy to spend time and money in Columbia when we had something to gain, but don't lift a finger in Mexico
