RE: Gun Ownership soars in Colorado after shooting
In some places they'll shoot you just for sport.

That's what scares me about the US. I'll constantly worry about being shot.

Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.

You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.

You're white, which dramatically reduces your chances of being shot.

(BTW, I'm not being racist here, just point out the sad fact that a lot of our police use racial profiling.)

I had to leave the US to get shot at, and by the by FNM, where I come from, being white increases your odds of getting shot..(by yourself or your friends especially..lol).
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Really?

I've never known that to happen.

When my stupid friend got done for speeding and he didn't have his licence, they took his car away and took him down the old bill.

I guess it depends on the cop. Tongue

Yeah, the cops are assholes here... I'm glad they don't carry guns.

I often get stopped at night and asked if they can see what is in my bag... maybe it is because I'm walking the streets at 3 in the morning. Tongue
Anyway, I tell them no and explain that I don't have to, so either they follow me to wherever I am going and sit outside for a bit or they try to make up some bullshit law to try to get me to let them see what is in my bag.

No, you get a week to go to a police station and show them your licence and insurance. It s called a "presenter".

He must've been a bad boy, I just had to go later with my docs.

In fairness he does drive a souped up Renault Clio boy racer car. I guess they took it just because of that.

He was able to pick it up though later on.
