Supply and Demand. Kill the supply, kill the demand. Matter of will, something we don't have.

LMAO!

Abortion, kids with two mommies and/or daddies, PCing us to death and now some want to finish the country with legalizing drugs.

Right. Do any of you 'free thinkers' promoting legalization have kids?

Let's keep drugs where they belong, in the gutter.

It's obvious that most people have little exposure to serious addicts of serious drugs, which is probably a good thing.

The neighbor's pothead kid is a very different animal than a hardcore meth / crack addict.

The war on drugs has never been serious. It just keeps things in line and keeps the money coming in under the table.

Our kids are all gonna be in the gutter when we can no longer even service the debt for all these fun and games. We simply can no longer afford all the welfare and all the stupid shixt. It seems clear that in a free country if some assclown wants to blow his mind on drugs he should be able to do so. Just don't make me pay for his upkeep.

For me, it's pretty nice. I don't have to run around in the street at town sayin' "look at me, look at me". Overall it's right nice. But I digress. What was it we was talkin' about?

I'm done for. Your razor wit has cut my arguments to ribbons, sir. I concede defeat. crazy


I wasn't going for razor wit. You are correct, though, most of your arguments are done before they leave your mouth.

You expect us to believe you're going to deal with muggers, etc. with a .45 yet you can't even deal with someone who was, supposedly, a direct threat to your life.

Reality.....

Sorry, George, but those scenes you see in TV cop dramas of a round from a snub nose .38 causing a pickup truck to explode into a ball of fire and then fly harmlessly over the shooter are just fiction. Not real. Most folks with common sense realize that the first order of business is getting out of the way in those sorts of situations. Somehow, I doubt I would've been able to convince the cops that I needed to blow the driver away, either. That is, assuming I'd have (as a pedestrian) survived the impact of the truck after the driver was amazingly hit between the eyes from my snubby. laugh You guys crack me up with this BS.

At least with one you get high-speed guns and cool-looking sunglasses.
No, I ain't. Several of y'all are reading stuff into my posts that ain't there. Maybe these rehab programs and such are a good idea. I don't know, but I do know I don't want to foot the bill for them. My thought is that we don't have money for all the wars, we don't have money for all the LE. We don't have money for all the prisons and we don't have all the money for welfare. By welfare I mean what you are calling "hand holding programs" and you can lump all the counseling and shixt in with that.

I want the cops out chasing down killers and rapists. I want the Border Patrol kicking asss on illegals. I want the soldiers home where they ain't getting kilt every day and where maybe they can back up the BP and keep us from having a dirty bomb or anthrax sewn in Houston or Tulsa. I want teachers teaching school and highway workers mowing the ditches and fixing the dammed roads. What I don't need is people kicking my neighbor's door in and arresting him 'cause he decided to toke up. I don't smoke dope or do meth. The extent of my drug taking is the odd Ibu or aspirin and maybe a Rolaids. I don't like my neighbor too much either. I just think with all this talk of the Chinese forclosing on us that maybe we need to get out ahead of some of this shixt.
Another excellent post, Cole.

There's gotta be a better way. I don't know what it is...I just know what it's not!

To object to corrupt use is not to object to the nobly-intentioned soldiers themselves, most of whom are positively admirable.

I'm glad you realize that. I, OTOH, don't watch cop shows. No need, I actually do, rather than just talking/typing. Some of us actually take our firearms and shoot at and from vehicles so we know what actually happens in the real world. Novel concept for many teachers, I understand, but it's reality.

I've been in "those sorts" of situations. I've ducked vehicles and I've seen driver's stop when they realize what's going to happen if they don't.

Quote
Somehow, I doubt I would've been able to convince the cops that I needed to blow the driver away, either.


So, in reality, it wasn't what you made it out to be here on the 'Fire. Good to know...

Since you're a constant source of laughs for many of us here, it's nice to return the favor once in a while wink .
