Agreed. Even the ones here "legally" are being exploited by businesses. http://news.yahoo.com/backlash-stirs-us-against-foreign-worker-visas-135208422--finance.html Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

How many of those immigrants went on government assistance? How many came illegally and were allowed to stay would be the better question... Well, pretty much all of the original settlers . . . if you talked to the natives. Additionally, I don't count the slaves as "illegals" as it wasn't really their doing . . . The fact is, there was no "legal" or "illegal" immigration laws when the vast majority of the lower 48 was settled, simply "quotas" on certain races that were not welcome. So, in that regard my guess is the VAST majority of people reading this, their grandparents weren't burdened by such nonsense. Sure, there will be exceptions, but none of the branches in my family tree were ever concerned with being "illegal" because that simply wasn't a legal factor at the time they immigrated. So they all came legally. Illegal immigration is the issue. There are two options: 1. Enforce the current laws. 2. Change them.

Legalize, license and tax: Adult Prostitution All drugs Just move the DEA under the IRS, can even keep their name.

Cutting government expenses: Divide all the agencies into three initial categories: 1. Expense 2. Self sustainable 3. Profit center Start with those in the expense category and see if changes can be made to make them self sustainable or profitable. The military is one that could easily changed to a profit center if we started charging countries and corporations for their services. DOT is another. Move to the self sustainable and see if changes can be made to make them profitable. Use the profit to pay for the expenses and excess to paying off the debt.

Illegal Immigration - Stop focusing on the illegal immigrants themselves in the country and focus and punish severely (primarily monetarily) any business and their subcontractors employing them. Secure our borders. Middle East - GTFO. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

Discrimination - Throw out any existing law that is based on or gives preferential treatment based on gender, race, orientation, etc. One new law. All will be treated equally regardless of gender, race, or orientation. This law would be designed to be amendable so future genetic based criteria could be added as desired.

Many threads on here devolve into "they did it first" or "that won't work" or other unproductive and baiting statements. The rules are simple: 1. Post a problem and what you feel the solution is. 2. Ignore any baiting responses. This thread's intention is not debate, but perspective. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

Though I do have to admit anyone who thinks either Bush or Omaba run their own twitter accounts is pretty naive. Sigh. Having one's PA team use their client's account to post a picture of client with the client quote's... Just didn't have the same zing.

What about just giving the robber the few thousand $. Do you really think it's worth killing anybody over that amount of money? Would you kill a teenager to protect a corporations money? Now I know you think you are protecting the people he is threatening, but I would argue that shooting is always more dangerous for everybody around, than not. And the ones that just want to injure, maim, and kill and don't care about money? As stated above, most of the benefit of an unrestricted gun policy is not defense, but deterrence.

Exactly. This is a relatively small sport. From just reading this thread, looking at a profile, skimming a website, and a Facebook page, the only thing not known now to me is the offender(s) name, but only because I haven't collected and ran some names through the database. Sadly, I know many women who were sexually assaulted and even sadder not one of them reported it. As for concerns of "hurting the sport" by speaking out: far more damage can be done by not. If every effort has been taken to resolve this privately, as stated above, may need to go public. The USPA is not the next step, nor any step. BBB may be a better route.

So your concern is not government assassination by drones, but private citizens and companies doing it? They can do so now with other tools. As for the "hobby" comment: if someone wants to kill someone, there are far cheaper and easier ways to do it. Probably less risk of being caught too. Punish the criminal, not the equipment they use.

Doubtful. They can always say that they were detaining you in order to find out what had happened (which is legal) and that they didn't want you out of the car on the side of the road for safety reasons (which is actually a valid concern - lots of officers and citizens have been killed that way). It doesn't mean that they didn't keep you there knowing full well what the truth was. It doesn't mean they didn't keep you there just to fuck with your head. But you will have a very hard time proving it. We were in a parking lot, dunkin donuts. Ill PM a few of you to proof read my statement when I'm done with it. Thanks for the help everyone! Make the sole focus the off duty officer, not the other officers as that could dilute your position.
