I haven't been in this forum in a while, but last time I checked it was informative, issue based and mature. It has slid a long way with posts like the above being commonplace.
Just about every forum I frequent has LEO members, and 95% of the time they blindly defend the police no matter how ridiculous the situation. Ar15.com for one...
How many of these abuses are we not seeing?
Rights seem arbitrary. A person can't put drugs into their body but a man and woman can have sex and create a life with no govt permission (where in other areas you need permission for things as small as a fence or reroofing a house). Aborting the fetus is a decision between a woman and her...
Confirmation bias in article. Writer had an opinion then either straight up made up the person in the story or found someone to fit her mould.
I found just the opposite. Denied 2 jobs right out of college because they said I had too much education and I'd probably leave to get a better job.
You put away the camera as directed by the officer, and you take that up in a court of law, if you believe you are right. You cannot just disobey a police officer.
LOL pls go. His first amendment rights don't give him the right to hamper their investigation. Must follow all lawful police orders. He thought his first amendment rights took precedent over their investigation, and furthermore after given an order from the police to stop his activities...
With drugs being illegal because it harms the person and society, the same argument applied to sex should mean sex under 18 should be illegal as well. Minors do not have the life experience to raise a child, nor the financial capability. Not do they have the experience, or mental maturity to...
The first amendment is not unlimited, just like the 2nd. There were also no video cameras in the 1700s, just like there were no machine guns. Regulation is necessary in this day and age, a very different time than in the founders day.
Also there's a fair number of people upset at the US govt and how they act (not saying they're remotely comparable), but even with our freedom of speech/assembly, all you really see is people venting in internet forums. Maybe at the most, like after the NYSAFE act, they complain in town-hall...
Not very helpful rudeguy but I think I've found out what I'm looking for
Upon further investigation, its up to the state laws whether misdemeanors have to be seen by a cop to be arrested. Up until the NY SAFE act, unlicensed pistol possession was a misdemeanor, but now a felony (iirc, which...
I don't think he can be charged with a felony in NY, as a police officer (of New York) has to witness the crime. Isn't it only domestic violence can be charged if the police officer doesn't witness the crime, or am I way off base here. Please confirm or deny, thx
They should be checked at the door because you cannot tell if someone is recording. Obviously they'll be concealing it. I wonder sometimes if people think before they post
Until the supreme court upholds the 14th amendments incorporation of the bill of rights against the states, states have infringed upon the 2nd, you're just going have to deal with it. Vermont doesn't infringe (where I live) and a few other states don't infringe "much."
Since rights are not unlimited, and regulation isn't infringement, I think there should be a permit process. 10 Day waiting period, and registration of all bloggers, after proof of needing blogging is demonstrated. Then bloggers should complete a 2 day course where they are qualified thereafter...
I would like to see alcohol made a schedule 1 drug and the govt go after alcohol users as hard as they've gone after drug users.
not serious. But sort of. Most of the alcohol drinkers have contempt for pot smokers, and usually go back to "its illegal. what sort of character does someone have...
Permit for a right? That's stupid IMO. You don't need a permit to come on this forum and exercise your first amendment privileges. We don't have that kind of violence in Vermont, because there's not soft targets all over the place where only specially permitted individuals can defend themselves...
Its the big cities with their gun bans, restrictions etc that is the root of the crime problems. Come out to vermont where's there's no gun laws, and there's also no crime. Big correlation between crime and amount of gun restrictions. It doesn't become the wild west with no gun laws, the...
Not surprised at all. This country LOVES statism, authority and the people that wield it. Pick up the can you shit tier citizen! Dare to raise a hand in questioning your overlords? You're gonna get beat! Peasants...
I'll be paying attention only to see how parallel we've become to Animal Farm and 1984. Other than that, its all lies, doublespeak and spin, to hide the immense power the State has become and will further become.
It, you mean me and you and everyone else through our taxes. So I have to ask, why did you not offer your own money to cover these people? Why force others through threat of govt to give their money up to cover people who won't pay for themselves?
That liberalism, fake compassion. Thinking...
Of the enumerated powers the federal govt is granted, not one of them is regulating firearms. The bill of rights was a mistake as many at the time thought, as enumerating rights is somewhat saying govt grants rights, and that is not the case. The constitution limits govt by saying what the...
Almost. Statist use anything at their disposal to accumulate more power.
After watching Closed Circuit (and thinking about operation Fast and Furious), I'm starting to think maybe the govt knew about 9/11. Everyone defending this NSA spying was saying "tin foilers" before Snowden, now they...
If people are forced to have healthcare because its unfair to the rest of society that has to pay for their healthcare if they get sick... (getting a little offtopic)
we should also be able to tell people what they can eat and activities they partake in. I was watching some old xgames footage...
The document that gives the govt any power, constitution, enumerates... let me say that again enumerates (go look up what that means if you're unsure) what powers the federal govt does have. And regulating the price of milk isn't one of them.
Lets take a little trip back in history to 1829 when...
Exactly. The IRS went after tea party candidates, and this one of the reasons why the NSA is collecting this all for.
-war on drugs
-steal civilian secrets to benefit people in govt
-keep statists in power
-oppress those who are against
Excellent post.
I still hold to the idea that anyone investing in us treas bonds is taking risk. If you analyze it from the standpoint that most businesses are held to, its a horrible investment. Would anyone invest in a company that cannot control its costs, has ever growing debt that...
Didn't realize I exist to serve society.
Also your arguments that it raises health care costs is bunk, because I don't see you saying we should ban skiing, motocross, xgames etc that are much more dangerous than taking a hit off of a pipe.

I lost $25k on an investment back in 2008 that was what I consider to be a safe investment. No investment is without risk. Anyone investing in US govt bonds cannot honestly say they haven't heard of our large, growing, financial debt. Or the problems that are never solved with regards to how...
LOL easy to say when its other people's money going to a 3rd party. How about you be your "brothers keeper" and help me out in this christmas season? I need a scuba tank setup, found one on craigslist for $50. I'm sure you make more money than me, so please put your money where your mouth is and...
A car has never saved my life, a gun has. During an attempted home breaking, a urban youth tried to kick his way through the front door, when that failed he managed to climb all the way up to my 2nd story apartment when I saw him, got my gun, brandished it, and he ran away.
You people that...
