  1. You're screwed if there is a chance for overcast, so what's the point? Go more inland. Bumper to bumper for hours can actually be fun. You can just pull off to the side of the road and get the party started. If you find enough cool people, you can go up and down the lanes passing out beers like we do here up in northern Michigan. If there are any hot chicks, they'll come out to play, no doubt. You'll usually get a couple of fat chick stragglers, so you're bound to see an eclipse one way or another. . .
  2. It's not funny tho. You're really not that far off from the truth in the greater scheme of things. But I've been working on building a new character: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQb2KQ-Kobc&feature=youtu.be&t=32 Stay tuned. . .

    Not for long. Took my mom about 2 months from diagnosis to death. Sorry to hear that. . . .but my implication was for those who are "blessed" to live long enough to become disabled. The very young and very old don't seem to fare as well. 20-50 year olds seem to have a better chance depending on the type of mutation. It seems the main challenge for kids is that they're just not strong enough to handle the radiation and various chemo treatments/pills. I know of a 7 year-old that had the same thing my fianee has. They gave her nothing. They said the treatment would practically kill her. Off the record, they advised to to see a street pharmacist for cannabis oil that they couldn't prescribe - not just for pain/nausea, but to actually stop tumor progression since it could pass the blood/brain barrier, similar to newer brain cancer chemo pills like Temodar. She was still dead in 6 months. I just don't get this shit, I really don't. It would help if we at least knew what was causing it, but everyone seems reluctant to offer opinions.
  4. I've posted plenty of information from the CDC on how to address the issue, but it seems to fall on dead ears because if focuses on improving inner city life. Liberals don't want to hear that. They want to hear how the conservative gun-toting white man is to blame! Because it's a good city to focus on from a research perspective. Taking a jab at BLM doesn't negate that. Besides, I read somewhere that crime in this country is projected to rise by 13%, half of which would be attributed to Chicago alone - that's a big deal. Stop deflecting.
  5. This is ultimately the problem. The CDC has offered recommendations to alleviate this problem, but nobody seems to care since those recommendations don't include fucking the white legal gun-toting conservatives that have nothing to do with the problem. . .

    From my fiancee's experience with this type of cancer, this is probably gonna be the best he feels for a long time. . .maybe ever. Trust me, treatment's a bitch. But I know, I'm missing the point. Interestingly enough tho, people with his type of cancer will most likely end up disabled and qualify for Medicaid regardless. . .
  7. Haha: https://youtu.be/8-ndPr0fwJQ?t=23 "Quit givin' me my ammo; can't you see why I'm so mean? If y'all leave me alone this wouldn't be my M.O. I wouldn't have to go eenee-meene-minie-moe Catch a homo by his toe, man, I don't know no more Am I the only fuckin' one who's normal any more?" "So it's easy to misinterpret it at first ‘Cause when I speak, it's tongue-in-cheek I'd yank my fuckin' teeth Before I'd ever bite my tongue, I'd slice my gums Get struck by fuckin' lightning twice at once And die and come back as Vanilla Ice's son And walk around the rest of my life spit on And kicked and hit with shit every time I sung Like R. Kelly as soon as "Bump and Grind" comes on" Get A Clue. . .
  8. And here's a nice fuck you to all the moderators that keep deleting my shit: https://youtu.be/uGAU55vLSdk?t=26 You might as well put it on repeat. . .
  9. There are only a few song writers I like more than Guy Clark. Ya, for some reason I thought you'd appreciate that song after I posted it. Had no idea you were a fan. . . https://youtu.be/lgCyXw2EWuA?t=29 I got a pretty good friend Who' seen me at my worst He can' tell if I'm a blessing Or a curse But he always shows up When the chips are down That' the kind of stuff I like to be around
  10. Nah, it's like a secret handshake - it doesn't really mean shit, but it's good enough to get you into the club. . .
  11. There are only a few song writers I like more than Guy Clark. It's weird. After posting that song, I wondered who the hell is gonna appreciate it? For some reason you came to mind. I had no idea you were a fan. . . "I got a pretty good friend Who' seen me at my worst He can' tell if I'm a blessing Or a curse But he always shows up when the chips are down That's the kind of stuff I like to be around"
  12. I love metal and classic rock. I grew up on the earliest of rap music and grew to love Eminem. But when all's said and done and the act is over for the night, this is who I really am: Stuff that works: https://youtu.be/lgCyXw2EWuA?t=29 "The kind of stuff you reach for when you fall" I can't really think of a better fitting song.
  13. From your article, rush - I mean Phil: "The United States of America (USA) is the most sought after destination for immigration. The USA is a multi-cultural nation that attracts people from all parts of the world. The US society is immigrant-friendly. The country has a very strong economy. The education system of the USA is among the best in the world and it has many of the world’s best universities and business schools." I'm sure the rich people in European countries live well, but the poor don't fare as well as in the U.S The least European countries could do is offer universal healthcare knowing that their poor will never have a chance. . . Now you can post all the liberal biased bullshit you want trying to contradict that fact, but would you bet your family's future on it?

    Well, if they were such the assholes that everyone is making them out to be, then they could replace it with whatever they hell they wanted to, right? I mean, If Obamacare is sooo bad, who's stopping them? The fact is, is that they're still looking out for the American people as a whole. Obamacare is good enough for now, just don't say it out loud. . .
  15. That's fine, stop and frisk is unconstitutional. That's one of the reasons that make this country so great. Cops need cause, unlike many European countries. Just know that since the end of stop and frisk, crime has went up - at least in Chicago. You can't have your cake and eat it too.
  16. No, this country has always been the greatest country in the world, and everybody knows it. We don't need the Don, and we don't need him to make it great again. If he's not a good fit for this country, then this country will spit him out. That's how it works. The opportunity/freedoms here surpass all despite all of it's faults. But don't take my word for it. Ask the millions that flock here from all around the world, year after year. . .even western Europeans. Don't be deluded by liberalism.
  17. It may seem that way, but when it comes to actual gun violence, it seems only 15-20 percent of stolen guns are used in violent crimes. The rest seem to come from straw purchases or legal gun dealers profiting from illegal gun trafficking. One study shows that about 8% of all gun dealers account for the majority of guns used in crime. Another study showed that 60% of guns used in crimes were traced back to 1% of legal gun dealers. ATF officials "conclude that these licensed retailers are part of a block of rogue entrepreneurs tempted by the big profits of gun trafficking. Cracking down on these dealers continues to be a priority for the ATF. What's needed is...better monitoring of the activities of legally licensed gun dealers. This means examining FFL paperwork to see where their guns are coming from, and making sure that those guns are being sold legally." Here's a tip: If you really care about limiting gun violence, rather than merely taking a jab at legal gun toting conservative republicans, then perhaps you need to focus more on the Tiahrt Amendments. Tho these amendments have been loosened over the years, they still don't require dealers to disclose their inventory. "Requiring the submission of inventories by gun dealers forces dealers to better control their inventories and helps prevent corrupt dealers from supplying the illegal market and then claiming that their firearms have simply disappeared." http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/guns/procon/guns.html https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2016/07/27/new-evidence-confirms-what-gun-rights-advocates-have-been-saying-for-a-long-time-about-crime/?utm_term=.3a8687a8c65c http://smartgunlaws.org/gun-laws/federal-law/other-laws/tiahrt-amendments/ BTW, I know this post will soon be deleted just like all the other data I've provided refuting the load of misinformation in this thread - and we will be dumber for it. It just goes to show that the people here are more interested in promoting their own worldview rather than truth. Facts be damned. . .
  18. Ken falsely stated in a public forum that Canada doesn't have armed police officers in their schools. I simply provided information showing that Canada does, in fact have armed police officers in their schools, and that such programs have existed for almost 40 years. I don't see why I should be faulted for pointing that out. I never said the primary purpose of Canada's SROs was to deal solely with gun violence in schools. The U.S has had SRO programs since the 50s, and even those weren't primarily designed to protect against gun violence. Having said that, you seem to be ignoring the fact that Toronto's SRO program was implemented in 2008 because of the school shooting death of Jordan Manners. You may not think that parents should be worried, but they are. At a raucous meeting about the fate of such programs, one Toronto mother shouted "ponder the blood shed by Blacks because of violence in our schools!" If a child is a victim of gun violence in Canada, their parents don't care if the murder rate is 1. It might as well be 1000 - it's all the same to them, hence Toronto's armed SRO program.
  19. From your Link: "Thirty eight SRO's are assigned to cover all public schools (CBE and CCSD) kindergarten to grade 12. Police Officers work together with students, schools and families to sustain safe and resilient school communities. Service offers: -assistance with issues such as peer pressure, drugs, bullying, youth gangs and pressure to commit vandalism, including graffiti -help by talking to students to help resolve a situation before it becomes a serious problem" Sounds very similar to US SROs. And as I said, the Toronto SRO program started in response to the school shooting death of 15 year old Jordan Manners in 2007 by a "crazy person with a gun."
  20. Shep has been calling out Trump for awhile now. . . But you still don't get it. Most of those on the right don't care. They are so pissed off with the left, that they just want vengeance at all costs - or at least stifle the liberal progression of this country. ...and they're winning. The focus is now on Trump rather than our typical divisive issues - and since Trump is an "outsider," any time he fucks up, he'll just claim ignorance and all is forgiven - And any legitimate criticism will just be drowned out by hoards of liberal nonsense, eg., "he gets off on dehydrated russian sex slaves pissings on his face, hence his skin tone!" Because you know, only that type of stuff is worthy of facebook - who cares about Russian collusion? Who cares about classified info on a private server?
  21. Given our brief conversation the other day, I figured you would've already corrected your bit of misinformation - so please, allow me: Cities like Edmonton and Calgary have had SRO programs with sworn police officers in their schools since the late 70s. After the shooting death of Jordan Manners in 2007, Toronto implemented their own SRO program. The vast majority of these programs have been successful and well received by the community over the years. The only controversy seems to have come this past year from BLM and the LAEN in Toronto that oppose the program, calling it "a school to incarceration pipeline" "A procession of principals, teachers and students from diverse racial backgrounds expressed strong support for the police presence — though it didn’t seem to influence BLM’s view." LAEN has already stated that it will still oppose the program despite research showing that such programs benefit students - Apparently the LAEN has their own anecdotal "research" to justify their cause: https://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2017/06/15/students-benefit-from-police-in-schools-peel-study-finds.html https://www.thestar.com/news/queenspark/2017/06/21/how-police-became-the-enemy-in-toronto-schools-cohn.html For the record, I have mixed feelings about this. I can understand the concerns, but rather than rushing to eliminate this program, how about we just address those concerns and refine it? Kinda like Obama care, eh?
  22. Please allow me to offer a bit of culture - it's the least I can do: Parov Stelar - COCO https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MgnwUgROfZw Walking through dark streets, the cold is looking for some way to stroke my skin. My body is shaking, my knees are weak, intense emotions overflowing me... I try to find myself, I try to move on, dont know where I am, please carry me home... I try to find myself, I try to move on, dont know where I am, please carry me home... But I tell you whats inside of me will never die,will never die... ********************************** Parov Stelar - Shine https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SxLjMuReJkU Out of hell, out of darkness Finally we're able to see See the beauty not the beasts One step further up at least But one day We will shine, we will shine We will fly so high We will shine, we will shine We will fly so high High
  23. I'm feeling a bit quirky tonight. I pray for the day when we can all get this passionate about life again - we're halfway there with this "electro swing" thing, if you know what I mean. . . Parov Stelar - Libella Swing https://youtu.be/uUw-vMjzuPM?t=76 Here's another, better example, perhaps?: Parov Stelar - Chambermaid Swing https://youtu.be/QN4tPpJngyM?t=147 Edit: Yes, as a visual graphic designer/animator/artist, this is what I AM looking for: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BP2jz7UCiig
  24. Nonsense. After the handgun ban in 1982, gun violence started to rise again several years later in the late 80s and then peaked to all time highs in the early 90s. Perhaps Newsweek can broaden your perspective: "over the past year, two things have accelerated the attacks, according to social workers and law enforcement authorities. Budget cuts reduced the number of anti-violence social workers who once cooled the simmering feuds, and a series of deadly police shootings and alleged misconduct by police have torpedoed the relationship between cops and residents. Over the past 18 months, the drawdown of police and social workers has led to an explosion of violence not seen in almost 20 years"
  25. Apparently you're not familiar with Proverbs and the Song of Solomon: http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=3549710;#3549710 Having said that, if you haven't lived a night being seduced by an evil seductress, then you haven't lived. They are the means by which God brings a man to his knees - personally speaking, of course.
