  1. Screw turky. My friend just got back from Co. They bagged two big fuckin Elk. I know where I'm eating TD
  2. As another poster says. We are in one fuckin big quagmire. I'm leaning to cut and run and let the locals sort it out. Tired of seeing dead bodies. I don't think history's going to be very kind to Mr. Bush and associates. All for a fucking quart /barrel of oil. Sad I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.
  3. And I threw a cig. butt on the ground last nite. I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.
  4. w/ guns I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.
  5. ROFLMAO. You don't think the big corps. pollute and run? Spell EVIAN backwards. And by the way. Monsanto forces all (most) the farmers to use their genetically engineered crap nowadays>http://www.centerforfoodsafety.org/Monsantovsusfarmersreport.cfm Of course they pollute, but the laws in place have significantly reduced the pollution in the USA, some are even forced to pay for the cleanup. If you want to see what happens when there is no state enforcement on corporate pollution look at china, russia and parts of africa/asia, and other third world countries. Anyway, if I'm in an apartment with a young baby I don't want neighbors smoke, I think that me and my baby and family have a right to clean air, period. It's incredible that it is legal to contaminate the air in someone elses living space with known carcinogens. What gives a smoker the right to do that, why shouldn't there be laws protecting people especially if the majority of the "people" or their elected representatives want it? P.S. I don't care if you want to smoke, I agree you have a right to do this, but not at the expense of other peoples health. "some"> I rest my case. If you're a big corp. you get away w/ LITERALLY murder (especially if you have friends that are politicians) Trust me you are being killed more by big govt. and corps. than some second hand smoke I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.
  6. I'd rather do nothing than make a BIG MISTAKE. I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.
  7. You know, this is like a whuffo telling a skydiver why an incident happened while trying to show their understanding of skydiving. Think about the most mentally distressed person you've ever seen in your life due to some sort of event in their life, either emotional distress, physical or chemical distress. Now make them also the most angry person you have ever seen in your life. Now imagine them wanting to do nothing else but hurt you so they can leave. Now add to this that you have an ethical and legal obligation to make sure the person doesn't just leave, but they also come with you in your car to a place they do not want to go. After all of that now walk up to that person, put your hands on them and make them go with you. You know, I made a promise to my wife that I would come home every morning. The above situation doesn't happen every day, but it does happen. I'm a highly trained martial artists and I'm unable to simply use verbal direction and soft empty hand techniques to effect an arrest at times. Sometimes officers have to use their "crutches" (as you call them) to protect others or themselves from harm. I don't personally know anything about this incident, so I'm not going to Monday-morning quaterback it. I would hope that the officer reacted correctly, but we'll eventually find out if he did or not. You might want to call up your local PD or SO and ask if they have a citizen's police academy. Your eyes will be wide by the time you leave. Not only that, but you'll learn a LOT about how the police work, how investigations work and more about what your rights are and how to protect them. If that's too much of a commitment, then go do a ride along with your local PD or SO. Its not like Cops, its not like you see on TV and when you're out there and not watching it on TV, things seem quite different. That car that the officer just pulled over might have someone that just robbed a gas station that hasn't been reported yet. Or it could be grandma on the way to dinner with her grandchildren. (The above about the citizen's police academy and ride alongs goes out to all of those reading this thread). Didn't know you were a cop. Tell ya story. I had a long talk w/ an old detective one day. He had tried to commit suicide and was speaking at a rehab. He said the way cops are trained today is pathetic. Shoot to kill "EVERY MOTHERFUCKER OUT THERE WANTS TO KILL YOU" Nice training for todays Gestapo eh. And he was a pretty cool cop. One of the older generation. You know> "To protect and SERVE" I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.
  8. Is there really such a thing as an occasional crack user? My understanding is that it's pretty much number 2 behind nicotine on the addictiveness scale... As to the neighborhood exacting its own "justice", I'm curious if there is any history of complaints to the police and how they were handled, etc. Regardless, burning the house down and beating the guy...there had to have been a string of events over time, I'm curious as to what they were... Yes there is. Trust me I know. Freebase is better tho. LOL I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.
  9. Make sure you don't give the kid HOT chocolate. If you don't check it and go speeding down the road and your kid gets burned>SUE THEIR ASSES OFFhttp://www.indystar.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2006611160497 I think it would be VERY difficult to make fresh breast milk scalding. Starbuck should be happy that she's offering a safe alternative so that dangerous hot chocolate. I don't know. A REALLY hot shower and some REALLY hot sex could do it me thinks. I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.
  10. The fuckin cops are afraid of getting shot. It's easier to go get speeders for revenue. Wonder when they will start tasaring you for refusing to sign a tiket? I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.

  12. You've never lived in an apartment with a smoking neighbor who doesn't give a shit when the smoke comes up from him into your room I expect. It's like having someone smoking in the room you with you and I had a young baby in there. Yes I spoke with him and he did not stop, I ended up moving to a house. Many smokers are addicts who are so into getting their next fix that they do it without regard to non-smokers, regulation is the only way to control it and it works. I'm totally OK with baning it anywhere where there is a chance a non-smoker could get poisoned by it. As for the BS about police state, this is just one of thousands of toxic substances that the government is deciding to regulate, no more. Do you object to the government regulating the toxins a company can dump in the rivers or the type pesticides a farmer can use on his crops? ROFLMAO. You don't think the big corps. pollute and run?

  13. In my last job, the building was no smoking, but they put ashtrays at the building corners so the smokers would walk (a Whole 100 feet or so - covered) away from the entrance for their 'break' they took every hour. They just smoked near the entrance and threw the butts on the ground, anyway. This is my stereotype of smokers. That and the old man cracking the car window 1/2 inch if the drive was really long. And watching butts fly out of car windows like candy thrown from parade floats. And a literal 'carpet' of butts outside the DZ entrance. (with big ashtray canisters on either side of that entrace - within one foot) BTW, at 40 we've gotten my asthma and lung damage now mostly reversed to within a sigma of 'normal' expectations. I'll be purchasing preventative asthma meds for the rest of my life though. Sorry about your luck.

  15. From a legal perspective, every state in the US has specific, clear language that preserves a woman's right to breast feed in public. In addition, there is specific language that clearly states that public breast feeding is exempt from obscenity and indecency laws.
  16. Just read this> I wonder if she ever skydived? Or shaves her legs or under her arms. Inquiring people want to know>http://www.breitbart.com/news/2006/11/17/D8LER9P00.html Boy.

  17. Now I think HOA's suck to start w. And if these condos are built so shitty as to allow cig. smoke to go into another condo it's prolly time to sell. But why not THEM?. Or is it a neighbor beef? I don't agree if you own the place they (HOA) can change rules in mid stream. Fuckin lawsuit hungry motherfuckers are the main cause me thinks. LOL.

  19. You are absolutly right. I was a passenger in a vehicle at a DUI checkpoint yrs ago. Was told I was NOT under arrest but I couldn't leave.(walking) I raised holy hell (lucky for me TV stations were videoing) and the cops had to let me leave. The one cop whispered in my ear before he let me go. "You so much as step off a curb w/o a green light me and my buddies are gonna get you and beat the living fuck outta you and YOU MIGHT NOT BE SEEN AGAIN" Orlando Fla.

  20. Sure. Hogtie him, too! Apply chloroform to him, get a litter and carry him out. Jesus - I have a hard enough time moving my freaking two year old. I'm no cop, but I reckon that partners and workmates of the 150 or so killed every year say to themselves, "HE shoulda tased him." WE have an incidents forum to learn from the often lethal mistakes of others. Tasers are non-lethal. (To you guys who mention those dudes that OD around the same time as being tased, I won't arue wiht you). SO, the choice is to either neutralize the target without pummeling his ass, breaking his wrist, causing nerve damage, etc., AND doing so at close range, or move in to close range and hope you don't get clobbered. I'll tell you my choice. Tase his ass... "Police officers in at least five states have filing lawsuits against Taser International claiming they suffered serious injuries after being shocked with the device during training classes." And that doesn't include all the deaths. ME sides w/ cops most the time. Expect anything different?

  21. These "campus police" are one of only two police organizations in the California to have statewide jurisdiction (the other being the California Highway Patrol - the CHP has statewide jx for obvious reasons). I find it difficult to say whether the UCPD acted excessively. It's perfectly legitimate to check to see whether the person using the computer lab is a student or some dude off the street. If the rules are that you are subject to ID checks, and if you don't have ID, you leave, then those are the rules. Furthermore, there HAS to be more going on with this. Being a UC alum, UCPD doesn't do these checks - the CSO's do. The CSO is the "Community Service Organization." They are students who act like security without true police powers (at UCSB, they did stuff like escort female students at night, took reports, and the like. They are like a liaison, too. I reckon in this instance, the CSO's were performing the ID checks. This dude didn't have ID. They asked him to leave. He refused. Then the CSO's called the police (as they should). After the UCPD got there, this guy was still giving them a hassle. Now, a person who is unresponsive to police commands sets off alerts with the officers that this person may be in an altered mental state. Yes, ER docs test an emergency patient's responsiveness to commands to determine cognitive deficit. Combativeness is a sign of brain trauma or drug abuse. So, this guy refused to comply with a CSO's requests, stuck around until the cops got there, refused to comply with a cop's DEMAND, was combative when the cops started to forcibly remove him, continued to be combative after being tasered, and then yelled out, "I WAS LEAVING!!!!" Come on, guys. Put yourself in the position of a UCPD cop. I know this may shock most of you, but believe it or not, college campuses do have lots of students who experiment with drugs, inlcuding meth, pcp, and other less innocuous substances than alcohol and herb. I object.Pure speculation counselor. I'd like to see the doctored police reports your honor I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.
