Yes the FBI does. Which smacks of entrapment. Which smacks of "How dumb can you be?" Which in a broad sense is blowing smoke.
people do commit atrocious crimes. We employ people to stop them. Which must be a fuck of a job.

Yeah, speeding tickets in Illinois and Wisconsin are a couple hundred minimum. Also 3 moving violations in a year can get a 3 month suspension. Under 21, just 2 will do it. Most states share info so it doesn't help to be out of state, either.

I agree that in the future there will be a growing disparity between the "haves" and "have nots" as low paying jobs in the service industry become the only haven for untrained workers.
I don't think communism is the answer as the "state" would ultimately bankrupt itself trying to support an unproductive society.
"Training" much greater numbers may not help as the number of skilled positions available is also limited.
We'll get to the point where the poor will only exist to serve the wealthy. As the number of poor increases, their welfare will depend on the willingness of the wealthy to support them, Logically by heavy taxation. Leading to resentment from both sides.
If we went back 50 years, one might caution, "be careful what you wish for".
Very good.

what's an "avartar" Otherwise, I think they're sock puppets. I've read some posts and spamming doesn't seem to be involved. Funny when someone new wanders into TAN, we all assume it's with sinister intent.

Snort 4 billion worth of blow? That would be an achievement in itself.

Everyone in Texas has a gun. It's the law. But seriously, he didn't leave the closet until he'd thought the robbers had left. Only firing when confronted by another armed individual. At least he wasn't some Rambo wannabe and crash through the door with a rocket launcher. Although it would have been a cooler story.

bestiality, seriously? Dial back the trolling, wolffe. Off the wall, nonsensical comments are one thing but putting big's tit in a wringer for content isn't cool.

Running a small business for many years, I can say the Insurance merry-go-round is nothing new. I can't count how many different carriers and policies we've had over the last 10-15 years. The whole thing has gone beserk. I don't blame Obamacare, rates have been going up forever, Actually with the new laws they seem to be stabilizing and I recently knocked off 100 a month on a new plan.
No one seems to blame exorbitant costs. They just expect insurance to magically pay for it. If they approached heath insurance like auto, 90% of hospital patients would be written off as "totals". Just too expensive to fix, go buy a new people.
@mog, fuck that shit, doctors ain't the smartest. Keep on keepin' on, my friend

When I ever stop coming to TAN, it won't be from rage. How can anyone take themselves so seriously as to get bent out of shape over an anonymous text conversation?
If you think someone's an idiot, say it and be done with it.
btw, you're all idiots, except Ericmanning who may be an alien.

This is allowing that businesses actually want to provide quality products and service. You'll still be on your own dealing with "now you see me, now you don't" scams wherein the business philosophy is, "we'll get everyone, once."

[quote user=ShanusMaximus][quote user=n0body]More than anything, what I will be striving for over the next three and a half years is to see if that spirit we saw in Boston and West Texas, to see if we can institutionalize that [and] if we can create a framework where everybody’s working together and moving this country forward,” Obama is quoted as saying
So, he wants community spirt back, and people helping and caring for each other. What do you have against this? Or do you prefer our broken society where no one gives a fuck about each other?[/quote]
Why would you want to institutionalize something people, obviously, had done without social engineering? Read the words. Institutionalize. Create a framework. Tell me how in the fuck you institutionalize and create a framework for spirit or caring? Spirit is something people do on their own.....it's an esoteric. It isn't something you force people to do or create in a box. It is something that just either is or isn't.
Also, who says no one gives a fuck about each other? I see a lot of people giving a fuck about each other. That just sounds like a pessimistic/cynical point of view and it sounds like that pessimistic/cynical point of view is Obama's also by what he is saying. It was like he was surprised by Boston and West Texas coming together. I think that guy is totally out of touch with regular people.

I would say, being President is definitely being out of touch. But anyway, this is based on semantics. Throw around scary words like "institutionalize" then line up for the FEMA buses to take us to our respective asylums. S'all bullshit,
If I could institute a condition by which everyone could put differences aside for a common goal. Fuck Yeah.
