Oh the grand conspiracy. To the Antarctic ice wall stat! Okay... It's like Kazakhstan (Right Nationalists) playing Thailand (Leftists) in ice-hockey... The score is still 52 to 1 Einstein in an otherwise ***** hockey game... Unless you're fans of Kazakhstan ice hockey! Anyway the extremists are both fugged up. That's the point. [And please Mods, this is pretty civil... You can't just let a subtle MSM conspiracy jab go un counter-punched] /smh

Politicians and Law Enforcement have an incestuous relationship. Politicians become the law m I know I am a dreamer. I live in a working poor community and live near some of the most diverse and disadvantaged areas in the country... Yet only miles from some of the least diverse and privileged areas. I am not anti-police. My son has been helping out with PAAC in town the last 4 summers. We need more of this... But programs like this will be the first to be cut. vvvvvvvv https://www.villageofparkforest.com/590/PAAC-Program "Police Officers, educators and community volunteers supervise youth participants. Youth who become part of PAAC are also exposed to the principles of fairness, tolerance, teamwork, personal discipline, and self-improvement..." Our POTUS shows no tolerance. Is the super-politician on steroids.

I disagree. I avoid cops at all cost. No need for fear mongering. One can always hide behind safety. Now... Lotta people, especially cops are racist. Cops see and work the reality every day, probably hard NOT to be racist. Our President is racist, why not call him racist? Cleaning up the crappy sectors doesn't more mean big government and their law enforcement arm: the police. I like big government... But when it helps the people less regressive. Police states suck more than the crappy parts of town. Yet, police are parasitic in those crappy parts of town... Feeding off the good, wearing them down financially with ticky tacky enforcement. Stop regressive taxing through law enforcement is a start. Trade $$$ & fines for community service and "sweat equity" will be a start. Good, hard working poor people need a break... Not more financial burden caused by their law enforcement overlords. I suggest work together so we can eliminate the need for excessive policing and move towards self-policing. We only need one Andy Taylor and Barney Fife. Trigger happy policing ain't the answer. Great countries have heros. It's sad countries that need them.

Yes they can (punish) when those two maniacs are causing, random social chaos. It's just not 2 maniacs anymore... The ranks are growing. It's like raising a young kid. The child go ballistic during supper in restaurant... The whole family suffers... The parents walk... They don't get to sit and enjoy their whole meal while they lay down idle threats... The child will just act out again. The rest of the diners? Unfortunately, their meal is disrupted... But they shouldn't complain. Sorry... We have to make hard choices that affect all... Until we get a firm handle on the situation. "Tonight the house was mouse-still except for some beam That, whisper or creak, complained of the years it had borne The weight of reality and the human dream As the real became more real, and the real more forlorn. Outside, I wondered why I had come here and where I would go, and back-looking now, saw the tracks of my bare Dark footprints set in the moonlit dew like snow, And thought: I must go where they go, for they must know where to go." ~ From “The Moonlight’s Dream” by U.S. Poet Laureate Robert Penn Warren

Every war to present date those numbers are going down till we will be fighting a war from outside DC via drones, etc... Probably already happening now. Commute into work, fight a war. We need @mead107 to step up his game and bring his MeadRobots into the field!!!

Dayton shooter managed to knock off 9 dead & was still clipped dead himself by law enforcement 30 seconds after he first discharged his weapon. Something is wrong here logically when thinking about that. 9 dead and LEO's responded in 30 seconds killing the active shooter. What does that tell you about modern firearms? How much faster can a responder get than 30 seconds! 30 seconds is an outlier response. Yikes!

Was Christmas Day 2019 picked for a reason... In reference to the famous truce in 1914... And other soldier induced truces throughout (especially during early stages) of the War, even on various other days of the year. Symbolic. Seems an odd day to release a movie. ???

Mosquitoes. The mosquito has killed more people than all human wars since the dawn of time

Unfortunately, one ideology/side has the brunt of the firepower. Expect more of their shitshow as leadership fans the flames and demagoguery.

Terror plot by who? White Nationalists Oh... Can't wait for the ferocious PPP horrible human beings on the right's response: "The leftists are gaslighting the situation." Who the hell knows what went on in Dayton & what it was about. Yet, the one in Gilroy & El Paso point to young white males fired up about immigration. Fired up about losing power and status in a changing society. All... I can say is yikes! As the people in power fan the flames!

JC! The whole county is worse than Chicago!

More guns! So we can all be "Super Hero" Domestic Terrorist fighters and shoot people in crossfire! Even "better"... So when a bad guy figures out that everybody is packing... All they have to do is fire once, slink away, everybody returns fire... Cops show up thinking people are the active shooter. Death by cops! What a crazy concept coming to a community near you!

My grandfather was like this! ^^^^ He lived in an apartment next to Indians, smell drove him wild. Claimed it smelled like B.O. From "Life of Pi" https://getyarn.io/yarn-clip/e63321fb-ffc5-410c-9ef9-f504efa2c040

Yes. Indians have the lowest incidents of Alzheimer's. And... They are linking it to curry intake as helping.

For all in whose heart dwells respect, who follow the wisdom and compassion, of the Way, may your life prosper in the four blessings of old age, beauty, happiness and strength.

To kill other pests. The world would have too many bugs.

Usually iron and rust. Hydrant water is the same as tap water in house. Towns with high iron will flush the hydrant on certain days. Just don't do wash when they are flushing...

Or a Big Gulp®.

Yeah, in 1970s... The first were, with the blessing of the government. Go figure. Big Floods in 1993. Arkansas ground zero. Catfish farms. Actually, interestingly... They tried to get the Asian carp to take off in Nile... In Egypt during late 1970s... As a food source. No go, too polluted, etc... They need clean water. Big river flows to spawn... As we started taking care of our waters better, they became unintended consequence. Their presence is solely related to clean water. I am all for clean water... But accept the consequences. Life ain't fair and perfect. If China wasn't a stinking ecological disaster, they'd be taking off in the big rivers there and treated as a food source.

Nobody is being punished here. Sh... Rolls down hill. We are having a blast. It's just high. It would have to go a lot higher... And anyway... We just send it away... All areas of the Lake. If not controlled God would then punish. It's actually pretty cool looking right now! Got long way to go before we "punish ourselves."

Huh? Do you even know how things work? It's high. If we are effing with the flow, it should get lower, lower, and lower. We don't put water back... We take, take, take! Millions of gallons per minutes! Anyway... Do you know how big and deep Lake Michigan? The the river openings are like trying to drink the ocean with a straw. Now... I will give you dredging the mouth of Lake Huron (basically one lake with L.Michigan, they are same elevation) below the bedrock north of Detroit.... But again, that should make Huron-Michigan drain FASTER and hence Lakes get LOWER. AND the water added INTO Lake Superior in Canada via the Arctic is tightly controlled into Huron-Michigan @ The Soo. That's all set international. If anything... They would draw us down over a year or so. Create a stranglehold. Illinois is drinking the inland "sea" through a straw! We ain't doing shi... Drop in the bucket. If Mother Nature ran unabated... There would be no divide, species would freely go back and forth uncontested. You'd cry about that. /smh... Hate to say, but don't be an idiot even if you are trolling!

This is only a test. This has only been a test: Thought so... Good luck, been nice knowing you! Buck up old little camper! [As: @BringBackFergy @Gugny & @Cripple Creek all run around full of unlimited life! NOT that there is anything wrong with that, but I choose death.]

True. And there is a tribe in Borneo that eat nothing but the same, one bland porridge their whole life... They know nothing else! So they are happy with it. Give them choice, they will go off the rails.

Wooo... Not so fast! Is there a game out there that people play 24/7 that uses pencils to stab out jugular veins? We might think different about pencils. These gamers are sitting behind a virtual first person shooter world for hours on end. I can see where reality and virtual reality can get blurred. They don't call YouTubers "influencers" for nothing. Really bad example you used. Apples and oranges.

That's most vegetables! LoL...
