Did we pay that cop >4 hours of overtime for his "good deed", and for his gas and vehicle maintenance? If so, it wasn't really a good deed, it was self serving and a waste of hundreds of tax dollars. It's only a nice gesture if it's on the cop's dime and on his personal time, not mine. It probably would have been cheaper to buy him a plane ticket.

Yeah ive become more cynical in my view of these types. It seems that its' always "the rules apply to everyone except me getting more stuff" and is rooted more simply in the idea that they are selfish.

Gov benefit for everyone? THAT'S SOCIALISM AND WHAT NEXT NAZIS? WHAT? YOU WANT EVERYONE TO HAVE EVERYTHING FOR FREE? THEN WHAT? NO ONE WORKS? NANNY STATE? STATISM!!! TYRRANY!!!"

Gov benefit for me? Well... I'm gettin' mine...OF COURSE.

And I thought teaching mine to close the door when they come in was good. Now I feel like I'm slacking hard with my dog training.
*promote *quality pet tricks

Government as bis as ours shit happens.

Don't need mine, but it did come the the day.
Hopefully yours will come soon.

When I got older, I realized all the monsters and demons I feared were lurking under my bed were actually in it, their heads resting on the same pillow as mine.

Kinda....assuming your prayer is the same as mine...."Jebus, please protect me from your fanboys".

Fairly typical for chooks to do this in my experience. Mine sometimes follow me around in a group even when I don't have food for them.
They also communicate to each other that food is available which kicks off the flocking behaviour. Some roosters will yell when they notice a food source and wait for hens to eat before they do.

Friend of mine did body removals, from his stories my opinion is you ALWAYS got the wrong house.

So you think machine guns aren't firearms...or do you think they aren't really illegal?

Edit: What about bazookas, grenades, mortars, etc.?
They are firearms by the federal definition....https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/921

More like "hey honey, how fresh is my breath?" "How about mine?"

Our government doesn't give a flying fuck about the GBR or the environment in general as evidenced by all the GBR scandals and the Adani mine.
To use an Aussie expression "It's fuckin fucked mate"

oh and just to add, take a wild guess where trump stands on this issue... bolsonaro has already announced they are in talks to start mining operations together in the amazon.

The US has been after the uranium in the amazon since the 60s, I have read brasilian govt reports from the time already accusing US mining companies of sending "missionaries" to hand out contraceptives and offer free sterilizations to indigenous people, with greedy stooges like bolsonaro and trump they will finally get what they want.

We all have wounds. I was certainly pissed off about mine for a very long time. Took me decades to process. I do have sympathy and empathy.

At some point, though, it is up to us to work through our pain and stop projecting it out onto others.

Isn't it? Our personal responsibility? That is a core moral value of mine. Personal responsibility.
