@KKGator Roughly 1/3 American households have firearms. Just because you have one does not mean they know how to use one. When they are busy attending church, I'll probably be at the range. Offended by them, yes. Scared? No.

License register and insure guns

Calling bread white is racist! jk/jk I picked wheat/grain off of the list. It's better for you anyways. I mostly don't like white bread. Mostly because it is used so often (just like american cheese - even the REAL cheese). I like home made bread myself. I love home made rye bread, dilly bread, and...
TheGreatShadow replies on Jun 29, 2018:
@Jnei I got some prepackaged bread several times. I keep it in a bread cabinate, about 8" from where the burger was. Same temp. Same humidity. Both sealed by wood. I can't keep bread out for that long. Not by a far cry. The bun didn't have mold either. If you want to do an experiment, get a mickey d's burger, and make a home made one. Put them side-by side so there is no variables. You'd be shocked as to how the one you made will get mold fast. Maybe a few days. Try it.

Hate Crimes and Firearms

If we can make a Hate Crime a crime against humanity.... there will be no statute of limitations. Neither a place out of jurisdiction.

I agree with the concept, but if a firearm is used to commit a hate crime, lesser charges like that will more than likely dropped. Everything except for rape and murder have a statute of limitations of 7 years.

When I saw them at the Big Four, they were the last to play. I didin't even bother to standand watch until that song played. Diamond Head is such an underrated band! But yeah, Lars is a whiny crybaby bitch! They are probably the richest band in the world, and they whined about downloading music.

I once got arrested in England because I was wearing white shoes!
TheGreatShadow replies on Jun 28, 2018:
@Geoffrey51 Yeah let's look at this financially. I know what some officers make, but let's say $20/hr. By the tie he got the call, drove here, and booked me we'll say one hour (give or take). I know officers that make far more than that. So we'll just say it cost $20 (unless he was on patrol around the area). But the fact is he had to play limo driver to take me to the court house. Unless he had to be back there at that time. The last time I looked at the IRS rate for CPM was about 35.5. That'd be about $7 each way if he just came to pick me up. Then you pay the clerk and dispatcher. I doubt the state made their money back! I paid the $10, and $42 court fee. No wonder why the US has such a large deficet! What's wrong with sending a letter in the mail? If I got pulled over, that'd be a little different. A friend of mine got out of the military a few months ago. He said that there was about 200 tanks at his base that have not moved since he was there! Tax and spend liberal (especially from the "conservatives").

You could say my point is splitting hairs, but they are both people that spread hate. I hate when people compare almost anyone to a nazi. It's usually just a buzz word.

@Geoffrey51 Thanks for sharing! I'm sure that probably scared the hell out of you, but you can probably look back now and laugh. Interesting story! When I first read your post, I was thinking "white shoes are illegal in the UK"? lol There are some weird laws tho. The town had an ordinance where you couldn't bring a goat into town on Sunday. WTF? Look up Jamie Baines. He spent decades on death row because someone said that the description looked like him. He got out due to DNA evidence, and that proved he was not the killer. I myself have a funny story. I once had a warrant for my arrest! Never guess why. Well I'm going to tell you. I got a knock on my door early in the morning. I ignored it thinking it was someone else. Then they started bashing on my window saying it was the Sherrif and I had a warrant for my arrest! I got up immediately! I forgot to pay a $10 parking ticket! Yes ten fucking dollars! That did go to court, and when I went to pay, but they didn't take the card. I banked 20 miles from there, and didn't want to pay for an ATM fee. I had cash, and asked the officer if I could just give him the cash. He said no I had to go to the court house. Never put the cuffs on, but made me sit in the back. All I had to do was pay the fine (and court costs). Talk about a waste of government money! Someone could have been murdered, raped, assulted, or robbed at that time! Nope we're going after this guy! He's dangerous! I parked in a snow zone, and couldn't get out with my Prius. I wasn't the only one that got a ticket. And the jerk didn't give me a ride home! This is 100% true, and the rumor mills were a turning.

I am sorry that you are judged like that. I have been pleasantly surprised by how many artists and musicians have gone the bald/tattoo route, making this image less intimidating for "everyday" people...thanks for the reminder not to judge by the cover...
TheGreatShadow replies on Jun 28, 2018:
@thinktwice My hate is blind. I don't see humans in terms of color. I mostly agree with you on the tatoo part. But, there are some you need to watch out for. Unless they are trying to ve "cool" or reformed, here is a few. A spider web on your left elbow means you've killed someone. Three dots on your right hand means you are part of a Mexican gang (but can also mean my crazy life). A tat under your eye can mean you have killed someone. Police use that for profiling. If you have a cross with 4 lines going outward at a 45 degree angle from all sides of the crux, that's a gang symbol. There is more, but can't think of any off the top of my head.

I was once accused of being a drug addict because of my tattoos. It was in a TSC and I was looking for a bug killer.
TheGreatShadow replies on Jun 28, 2018:
I've been through similar as well. My business partner and I farmed around 1500 acres. I had to use a 16' flat bed trailer to get all of them. Got pulled over because of a broken tail light. I had 2 roundup shuttles in the trailer (120 gallons each - not premixed stuff), and boxes of other chemicals in the back of the pickup. He saw I had an empty pill bottle on the passanger seat. I had it there because I needed to refill my blood pressure medicine! He asked if he could see it. He said with all the chemicals I had, and the empty pill bottle, "there's a bad drug problem around here". I was like WTF?

Sadly, these two examples are just the ones people told me. Probably a lot more think it. A friend of mine spent 12 years in prison. has lots of tats. He takes his shirt off to try and intimidate people. When that happens, I tell him to put his damn shirt back on!

@Kojaksmom Yep. It's just considered a part. You can go online and order almost anything, and have it shipped to your door. Only thing you can't for your your typical AR-15 is the lower reciever. That's the only thing they can't ship (unless you have a FFL). It's the only part that has a SN, and is just a piece of plastic. IIRC California made them illegal. Maybe a few other states.

I'd try that, but not really my demenor. I had a front tooth knocked out when I was young. Had it fixed twice! Last time it fell out, I said f it not gonna pay more to have it fixed again. So smiling would probably make things worse. lol

I remember years ago I used to pump my own gas and then go into the shop to pay. The day I arrived bald, the attendant rushed out to do it and then realised it was me. Two days ago, I got another bald haircut to cope with the heat. I couldn't get a taxi driver to stop to take me home.
TheGreatShadow replies on Jun 28, 2018:
Sometimes just by being bald, you get some perks! lol When I lived in South Omaha (technically Downtown, but a crappy area) I would walk to and from the bar on weekends. Lots of riff raff on the streets. No one ever messed with me! Sometimes tried to sell me drugs, but told them to go away.

Ugh! That I am a lazy good for nothing person because I became addicted to food and sugar and have always been fat. I am very active wih my job and taking steps to heal myself. I am eating the way of the ketogenic diet and its the only thing that has worked for me, ever— I work out once a week...
TheGreatShadow replies on Jun 28, 2018:
I'm overweight according to the BMI (which is bs). Glad that you are working twoards your goals! Keep it up! Did you ever have your thyroid checked? I had a sociology teacher that was heavy set, and I know for a fact she was a vegitarian. She was fairly active. Some people's metabolism is better than others. Not much you can do about that, but If I know someone is morbidly obese and lazy and eats sweets all the time, it's a different story. On the flip side, my old room mate was skinny as a twig. He could eat an extra large pizza by himself in one sitting or maybe 3 entire plates of food. He was a truck driver. Not a lot of physical activity there. He'd take off work early all the time. When he got off or didn't work, all he did was play video games! He was so lazy that he didn't want to walk 5 feet to the bathroom! When he left he was cleaning out his room (never went in there unless he was even tho this is my house). He brought out some trash when moving. I told him right in front of company when he was bringing it out "you better get those piss bottles out of here". I embarased the shit out of him! At the same time I was building firetrucks, which is a very labor intensive job. I'd eat 5 meals a day! Unless I was running late, then I'd skip breakfast. But that's because I burned so many in a day. Running around with pipes all day and plumbing these heavy things takes a lot of work, and at break neck speed. I'd leave for work about an hour before he got up. Unless he had to go grocery shopping or something, he was always home before I was. As a matter of fact a few times they sent us home early. Once was because there were no parts in, the other time was because of a power outage. One time I had to take time off for a dr appointment. I think it was 2/3 times he was here. I asked why he was here. He said he called in. Playing video games. I'd leave around 5:15-5:30 and would get home around 6. He would probably leave around 7 and be back by 4 at the latest. I had a slightly longer drive (about 10 minutes each way), but still. Point is he is skinny as a twig, and I'm considered overweight. Some people are just built different.

That's bad. A woman can do as good of a job as a man! Look at WW11. The Husbands were deployed, and the women ended up doing the factory work! On a positive note, maybe they were just jealous. It's kind of a shining in the night... people thought you were hot stuff. You need to get rid of those negative waves. I had a stalker once. I was like "meh, she digs me". Life is what you make it. Turn a negative wave into a positive one! Then laugh at them!
