The killer cop who took Eric Garner's life walks free. How do we secure justice?

Sticks48 comments on Jul 16, 2019:

And Barr had the final word on this. At this point I don't believe human beings are capable of a fair system of justice. America's justice system is a failure and always has been.

36 THINGS YOU WOULD NEVER KNOW WITHOUT THE MOVIES 1) During all police investigations, it will be...

Sticks48 comments on Jul 15, 2019:

The car keys are always in the sun visor. When people have a conversation, their faces are six inches apart. Forty year old cops in dress shoes can run down twenty year old perps in tennis shoes on foot. Men with machine guns can't hit a fucking thing other than lamps and furniture, but the hero can kill six people with six shots with a hand gun in the same scene. You can hit a man in the balls and he gets right back up to finish the fight. Everyone seems to know how to hot wire an automobile. Cops can open a locked solid core door with their shoulder. There are never cops around when two non cops are chasing each other through town at 90 miles an hour in a high speed car chase. Actually that one might be true. :)

Just for laughs...but good advice lol

Why would, or wouldn't, you date a believer?

Sticks48 comments on Jul 15, 2019:

I have and it has never been a problem. There are many shades in the spectrum of believers. I have never and would never date a church going believer. That would not work. With the vast majority of women I have been with I have no idea what they believed. The subject never came up, and that was and is fine with me.

Just another example of our very fucked up health care system. A national health care system will cost too much. Funny you don't hear that when they build a new ship, bomber, or nuclear weapon we don't need. You don't hear it when they are asked to bail out some corporation because they are failing because of bad and sometimes illegal management. We are a poor excuse of a nation.
