A Complete Waste of Space

I can assure you, slick will be as vapid when ever you come back.

Luckily, I have available several hundred acres of really productive farmland,
near a large body of water,so try, Pud, to stay at least near my good side

Hmmmmm. I'd think it should be the other way around. Those with large bore devices,the skills to use them, and a desire to survive just might remove you from said paradise without compunction.

Personally, I think those with the "fortress mentality" if and when the shit hits the fan will be on losing side early on in the struggle.

However, there is plenty of what you brag of a lot closer to where we are so you should be safe from this bunch.

Slick, I just hope you are more than one "fill-up" away from D.C.
Cuz if'n you ain't? You better triple up on yer ammo or
stock up on the Moon pies.....

I am,unless you're filling up a boat.

Here's a word up fer the doubting pilgrims...when and if it comes to a complete
break down of our "infrastructure"?

Just look at New Orleans, Katrina and the aftermath....
Note what the police and firefighters did....the majority
of them hauled ass before and during the storm...and never returned.
The police who stayed? Well, now a bunch of them are being prosecuted.
Every cop in this country has been paying attention to this.....
What do you "really" think they will do in the future?

While the storm "Katrina" caused a lot of deaths....if, you should choose
to view it this way? The loss of infrastructure, combined with the flooding,
eliminated a bunch of homicides, that surely would have occurred.....and by
that, I mean hundreds, if not thousands......

Just sayin..........

I've been visiting New Orleans regularly since I was about 20. One of my best friends on the planet has family there, and maintains an apartment in the Quarter. I can vouch for this much: the New Orleans police force has historically proven to be the most underpaid, and hence blatantly corrupt and nasty big-city forces I've ever encountered. Not basing this on any personal run-ins, they treat the well-off white folk just fine unless you're being a real asshole in public(and I mean REAL asshole, seen some major shit slide from the local gentry). I talked to one mounted cop back around '98 who told me that they had to buy their own uniforms. Crissake! Any wonder you saw them rummaging through abandoned businesses?

Well hell. Lets just start a war with China, kick their ass, and take everything.


Oh wait! We don't have any money.


Maybe China will lend us some money, so we can kick their ass.

Really? You really feel that way? You don't think that a police officer regardless of pay or pay grade should act in that manner? Because that's exactly what you're implying.

Here's a tip for ya, if they didn't like how much they were getting paid they could go anywhere else in the country and get a job. Or change professions.
