^@bigmouth Copy that. Having adequate power is way safer than big slow SUVs or tiny 3cyl econoboxes. My Volvo is one of the safest cars there are for its' modest price and it will still be just as easy to drive as a humdrum VW Golf once I'm finished upgrading to 300+ BHP.

Also, drug wars are WAY deadlier than the drugs they're fought over. I've heard from a very knowledgeable friend in my state of Colorado that the biggest drug dealer within our rectangular borders is a CIA agent anyway.

Oh, and also inspecting customers' bags unless shoplifting is actually witnessed...


Hmm, I'd think it would make more sense to find a way to keep the stolen item on their person rather than in the bag.

How in the hell would that work, everyone under the age of 21 at least would have to be jailed or fined since they're all immature kids.

Fun fact: Here in Philippines, it's illegal to divorce. So does adultery.

And I think celebrities, political 'relatives'/families with no educational or experiences related in politics, should not be allowed or illegal to run in any candidacy.

I don't see what's so edgy about this conviction. Everybody could keep doing exactly what they already are, forget currency altogether and things could only improve.

Everyone 21 or above is plenty immature as well. I know I am...

Same here, and yeah that is the trouble even people who are mostly mature will still be immature at times.

Agreed. That brings me to another point, if I were in charge, I'd have MUCH tighter laws dealing with government corruption. If someone working for a government agency was engaged in illegal activities, I would actually sentence them to a longer prison term than a normal civilian.

Case in point; a**hole startup executives. Sometimes I overhear their iPhone conversations downtown here and I feel so sorry for whomever they're extorting for cheap labor. Not only are they greedy, they're freaking vulgar about it (to the point of offending someone as nuts as myself) and they frequently pocket millions of their investment backing while chewing out the employees they pay through an eyedropper. I'm making half as much as I did in an accordingly vile Apple development company (ten bucks hourly :() but the people in the offices I'm at are so much friendlier I don't even care.

Speaking of which, I believe private prisons should be outlawed. Corporations formed around making up loads of acronyms to categorize people's transgressions and rationalize their enslavement. The US never abolished slavery, we just expanded it to include pretty much anybody.

The 'doing exactly what they already are' part wont went well here from where I live. :? Everyone is practically sick of corrupts and I'm no exception to that. Even people wised up their votes and choices, there's still people bribing engineers and watchers from tampering votes.


And oh, lastly, macho culture should be illegal. Same goes with double standards.

It should be made illegal for anyone lacking in military experience (especially combat experience) being elected as Commander-in-Chief of the American Armed Forces. No more Limosine Liberals, no more Cash Conservatives, and no more Presidents who have no idea what it means to be in real combat as a young adult.
