Energy independence doesnt really matter to the common person, no matter how good it sounds on paper. Our country could be completely energy independent and still have $4/gallon gas prices. Speculation and market fixing are the real reasons for the current 'good for us' gas prices and they will also be the reason for the 'bad for us' gas prices that will come back. Big oil, whether they frack or drill, do not thrive on current oil prices. Fracking, which is the reason for the US oil surge, costs more than conventional drilling, so when frackers rule the land, gas prices will be through

If you just take and NEVER work ... G O B, Its just amazing to me, redistribution of wealth and calling it free... Couple weeks ago I was standing outside a Giant Eagle store here in Pa, smoking a butt, when a public transportation bus rolled up and the sorry sons of bitches standing at the bus stop getting on, others running their sorry asses from the store about falling down trying to get to the bus. Felt like telling them all to go Fuck themselves, including the bus driver. Here in Pa the state gas tax is $0.60 a gal, pay for roads and bridges, more of the tax goes to pub

Ive seen this in the media from capture, to failed extortion, to execution. Will this be the beginning of japan in the middle east? Was it a hoax? I have no fucking idea. Im just wondering if you guys know more than me.

I thought you guys might be amused by this too. If it were one of us, we'd be arrested on the spot. Still, I have a hard time believing this and an even harder time believing he'll get a year in jail. http://www.immortal.org/4775/arrest-warrant-issued-david-gregory-meet-press/

Im pretty sure the harrison act made cocaine illegal in 1914, prohibition was from 1919-1933. So it was pretty close, who knows how much enforcement took place in the early years, as it probably took a few years to catch up. Busts where I live are pretty much nonexistant, to my knowledge, but my town is pretty tame. I never been a druggie either, but a few of my friends fell into that hole. A couple of those friends went to prison and were never normal again. One had a family car seized in a stop where they found some pot, it turned the already poor family into a welfare case, since mo

Great reason to end the war on drugs: Finanically cripple cartels, restore freedoms. Yes, there will be some additional addictions to deal with, but we can find ways to deal with that too. At least people will only be killing themselves. But you have to realize, the same things that financially cripple the cartels also cripples the local municipalities and their services. Local govt brings in so much income by seizing property and money, they have no interest to change. For all the harm the cartels causes to the public, it would make sense to defund them and stop them cold. But no, w

I want it!!!

Nations wage war for resources, money, land, and influence. Religions wage war for ideology, against "infidels" who dont believe what they do, or who offend their skewed views of right and wrong. While millions more people have been killed by nations, religions only add to the death toll. If we removed connection with religion, we would get rid of fundamentalist terrorism, religiously motivated hate crimes, and religious corporal punishment, which kills many people who do not subscribe to the religion who murders them. Therefore No, it would not remain the same. Many thousands

I tie paracord around the necks of two liter bottles. I cut a flap in the back of the bottle, as high as I can, and pack in as many old news papers as will fit. I will tie a couple knots in the other end of the paracord and staple them up, hanging from something. Bang, swinging target out of junk. They last until they fall apart.

Thats awesome. Im happy I learned how to do this.

Rhymes with evil doers.

What they meant was "The more we investigate the public, the more fine and seizure revenue we will get, because we know many dont understand the laws, and we will arrest them for it." This is just a friendlier way to keep tabs on everyone, boost profit, and push the boot down harder.

"large quantity of marijuana was also located." Ya think this may have something to do with it as well.???? OK so we eliminate the federal drug schedule as well as the NFA. It's a two-fer. Those are both unconstitutional as hell. Yes and Yes

Need a friend, how bout a big brother? http://blog.chron.com/narcoconfidential/2015/01/come-be-friends-with-the-atf-or-just-follow-them/#16498103=0&29768101=0

Society has always been a balance of just enough good to continue, but bad enough to cause alot of death and suffering. We are not going to hell in a handbasket and society is not degrading, it has always been fucked up, yet never completely, everywhere. The media, plays a huge part to sensationalize every little thing, and makes it really look like humanity is going down the drain. However, theres no reason to believe that the bad outweighs the good, regardless what we believe to be true. For every evil act we see there are 1000 good acts that we dont. Individuals do many good deed

Tightly restricting dangerous items still leaves dangerous people, and great britain has plenty of those. When people are defenseless all kinds of crazy shit takes hold. Strong arm crimes, home invasions, and muggings become really easy when the meek have no means to fight back. When you are not allowed to effectively defend your home, any person can come in, at any time, for any reason. Oh, your gonna take my money? My tv? My daughter? When your outnumbered you can put up a fight, but most average people would get beaten to a pulp trying to fight back against multiple determined a

Unfortunately and sadly for some, they will truly wish that was the case. Question for you; If this is it, what stops you from choosing wrong over right? Why not grab as much as you can, screw over everyone to get what you want as long as you can get away with it. Why love if there is always something else to lust for. What does "the best of it" mean to you? Why "morality"? Please don't cop out with something like: Well, the majority of the population has come up with these rules... How did these rules come about and why do they work? Might want to give that a bit o thought. Thank

There is no irrefutable evidence for your god or any others. There is no evidence that people will ever completely understand the origins of this universe, or life in it. So likewise, the two do not coincide in any way. Nothing in the bible has ever led to scientific breakthroughs (though many have been detriments to scientific progress), and no scientific discoveries have ever proven the fantastic stories of the bible. Incredible claims NEED incredible evidence for rational people to believe them. To your prior post ( I have never met an atheist, I have met a lot of people really pi

I hear mo is into some kinky shit.

Hindu was founded thousands of years before christianity, close to the beginning of human written history. The older the better, right?

I just made these ones, see what you think.

I think SM will stand with me in saying, the promises of doom or salvation via someone elses saviour is neither helpful or scary. We think its silly at best, and really annoying at worst. At times our atheism may seem offensive to your own beliefs, but rest assured, your beliefs are just as offensive to us. What many refuse to understand is WE DO NOT BELIEVE IN YOUR GOD. Its not a threat and its not through disrespect, it is a fundamental understanding of the world around us that can not be undone. Its the same as a devoted religious mans faith, it is steadfast, permanent, and complete

Yea, until you get tazed for back talking Uh yeah, we Christians are issued tazers right after baptism -- Watch Out!!! I was referring to gentlemanjim, ya goober.

Yea, until you get tazed for back talking

1. Sure 80% claim it, but only 5% know a damn thing about it. They dont know anything about the bible and what little they know, are teeny, out of context excerpts that their preacher, or grandma told them. Most christians today can barely handle reading the olde thyme language of the book itself, let alone properly understand what they just read. 2. When you say our entire system is based on judeo christian values you are right. Our system is also based on the threat of violence to those who do not comply with its mandates (ie. force). Doesnt this mean we are forced to comply with a s
