What gives a cop the right to just stop you on the street and frisk you and detain you if you have done nothing wrong this happened to me walking to the train after work I was just on my way home when a cop stopped me and detained my for almost an hour while he ran my background only to find nothing I've never been arrested in my life now should this make me mad or should I just let it go?




I was just minding my own business it was late and my bus had stopped running and I had to walk to catch my train home.

i mean they hate us because we are interfeared in their affairs and they got us back for that yea. And instead of about all thses suicide bobmbers targetting civilins but why whould they target their own country? its stupidsaying "whatever" we decide to make their country a living hell for them and steal their oil to polute the world. and their saying that suicide bombers are targetting civilians but why whould they target their own people? seriously why do we fight? we might as well be creating a new virus or saying that trashburning is legal in all states and trees can be cut down without laws.

How does the troop rotation really work? based on the jobs I know but I would like to know does the troops that are stationed in Kuwait, Germany, Japan, South Korea, (basically non-hostile countries), etc get rotated into Iraq/Afghanistan? and the ones serving in Iraq/Afghanistan would get rotated into one of those countries after their time in Iraq/Afghanistan?

How often does one go through that rotation because I've seen mostly soldiers who only go to Iraq, come home, and go back.

thank you

Do you think the government should evenly distribute resources to everyone, such that everyone is equal? Do you think big corproations shouldn't exist? Do you want equality? Do you want to eliminate social classes?

who might he be refering to?

"Should any political party attempt to abolish social security, unemployment insurance, and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you would not hear of that party again in our political history. There is a tiny splinter group, of course, that believes you can do these things. Among them are H. L. Hunt (you possibly know his background), a few other Texas oil millionaires, and an occasional politician or business man from other areas. Their number is negligible and they are stupid."

A lot of legislation in California over the past several years, but particularly the last four is based on comic-book science. That is it is fantasy "science" below the Jr. High School level or worse. Like nor knowing the difference between a change of state and a chemical reaction. One law actually defines the sublimation of "dry ice" as a chemical reaction.

I guess we shouldn't be surprised what with having a cartoon for a governor and all.

This man shot and killed two thieves. I commend him on the fact that he was protecting his neighborhood and he kept 2 out of the system that we as taxpayers would have had to support.

If I could pin a medal on this man I would.

There are some that say what he did was wrong and there are some that say what he did was just

what do you think?

If you want other links type in Joe Horn shot in the search box.
