THIS is how you handle porch thieves

[the old grind]

Four messages sent to 3 gals on 'Match' and no replies. (dodging a few too) I leave a lot out of my profile but wouldn't mind sorting through the gold diggers if I said more. (BTDT & it can be fun.)

Guess I'm not that lonesome with all the great guys I can hang out with here instead.

btw, funny that so many guys on the opposite side of the political spectrum are ones I like best. (fried, Hay Dude, IT, Lil ranch (sp) .. not sure about James )

I would go easy on the high and mighty rhetoric of Missouri... Seems ya'll have your own problems.

Expansive study claims Missouri tops all states for 2020 drug problems; Kansas ranks among lowest

Courtesy Wallethub A new study examining drug abuse, rehab, and arrest data across the country has determined that, out of all states and the District of Columbia, Missouri has the absolute worst ranking in the United States. Kansas, somehow, how one of the best scores. For a city split between...

And then there is this... how lovely.

We do have the problem of the two liberal run cities Kansas City and St. Louis. Both holes. And pointing out our S holes does not make the cities of San Fran and Seattle any better. S holes are S holes. I don't live in those holes, and I don't visit those holes. So if that makes me high and mighty so be it. I was just pointing out S holes and the problems in them and even offered a glimpse of a solution in the Liberal run Rhode Island. So why are those eastern libs in Rhode Island so much smarter that those stupid Libs on the west coast. That is the question. The libs on the west coast are total MORONS. Tell me I am wrong.

That line of reasoning is mind blowing IMO.

As I've gotten older, I now understand that there are a lot of gray areas where I once thought was a simple "black and white", but I can't fathom the reasoning of offering a free place, free food along with free drugs.

Heck, I would even be temptedd to sign up to enjoy the sights

Reality is the bubble is going to burst.

And the rest of the country is now bailing San Francisco and NYC out of their financial difficulties from programs such as this.

In my opinion that was not a setup. That was real footage from a ring camera. And I know what footage from a Ring camera looks like.

Who wants to move to Rhode Island? The weather isn't exactly the greatest

On 6 states have less in total population with only Delaware and Vermont being somewhat comparable per square mileage, and Delaware being about twice the size land mass wise and Vermont being 9 times bigger.

With all sincerity, I see large city issues as being more more complex than that "liberal" vs "conservative" ideologies. Generally speaking, the higher the population density, the increased odds of having issues with people. Human nature. Some cities IMO mask their issues better than others.

I do believe you should hold people accountable for their actions (which I don't view as being a political ideology but more along the lines of common sense), but the bigger question becomes how to hold people accountable for their actions?

I don't have the answers, but for some reason Kurt Russel in "Escape from New York" comes to mind. The irony is that was a futuristic film made depicting the year 1997.

Jesus did not speak of Heaven and Hades, but of redemption and forgiveness. His teachings are of compassion and love for all of us, not of judging each other to our own social standards. He ravaged the temples where folks took money to pray for someone. How would he look on us now?

Probably no different than He has looked at us over the last 2,000 years.

The human race hasn't learned that much since then IMO.

Kind of eye opening, thanks for posting.

Something that wasn't addressed in the video, I wonder how many other cities ship their homeless to SF?

I've read stories about cities just shipping off their homeless to have them beome someone elses problem as a bus fare is cheaper.

a couple years ago NY was bussing folks to NC.

I don't think all this Bad stuff is any worse than it ever was. Just there is so much communication, so many cell phone cameras. If you were crooked before but had the favour of media, well then you were safe. It was all neatly sewn up. And the general mindset was to not even doubt the honesty and integrity of all these entities. No waaayy the Boy Scouts could be BAD! And if someone said they were, they MUST be lying.

You nailed it. If our schools taught history, real history, we would understand, this kinda stuff has been going on for 12,000 years.

I believe modern technology has simply exposed it. Of all the civilizations I'm familiar with, I always thought the Romans were the most decadent. That's because I read history beyond govt school! As far as decadent culture, I think we are giving the Romans a run for their money.
