There used to be something like that near me but I don't think it's as much of a thing anymore. Back a decade or so ago when New Yorkers would drive to Miami, buy lots of coke then drive back to NY, they would pass through Delaware on I95, but when they crossed the Delaware Memorial Bridge, connecting Delaware with New Jersey, they would run into problems. Apparently once they crossed the river into NJ they must have felt as if they were just about home and relax their guard, maybe dipping into the stash or whatever. The Jersey State Troopers made so many arrests on a stretch of interstate just over the river and state line into Jersey that it was referred to as Cocaine Alley.Originally posted by GreyGeek View PostLeave a comment:

There is an unavoidable fact that unites this nation, and no "Russian" psychologist can possibly understand it. Every state is clearly inferior, except the one you live in!Leave a comment:

Indeed! Especially in California and Colorado!Originally posted by SpecialEd View PostI think maybe the false prophets are already stoned.
People are driving down I80 to Colorado to buy pot, and when they return the same way the Highway Patrol is waiting for them because Pot is illegal in Nebraska. The ones they catch are the ones too stoned to drive right or take care of their vehicle. A missing light, muddy license plate, broken glass, speeding, weaving in and out of traffic haphazardly, and about every other stupid way to drive you can think of. They literally have signs on their cars saying "we're smoking pot!" The pot gets confiscated. Their car is impounded and usually sold to pay fines. The money in their possession and in their debit accounts get confiscated (trafficking), etc...., because they usually buy enough to last them all year, or they are trafficking. All the evils of the "guilty money" justification in the RICO Law is applied.Leave a comment:

He's wrong. California will split into North California and South California. Washington and Oregon will form their own Socialist State and immediately declare war on fascists Central North America. See, it's easy to make wild predictions. Luckily, we don't live in Ancient Israel. They stoned false prophets!Leave a comment:

It has become impossible to have a discussion on almost any Internet forum without it degrading into ad hominem attacks and invocations of Hitler.
People can no longer disagree without being disagreeable. That's why I've deleted my accounts on all social and political web sites. A Russian psychologist predicted that by 2010 the US would disintegrate into five or six regions.
He may have missed it by ten years.
However, I'm an optimist and I think the extremes will lose in this current unrest.Leave a comment:

IMHO
the "flaming at Ubuntu forums" was a "hothouse" of the same mindeset which lead to "flaming" elsewhere in society.
To a large extent, IMHO it is somewhat the same as when a woman says " all I wanted was for him to nod and understand and give me a hug...but he had to try to FIX IT!'
And...
HILLBILLY...
"Bigger the boys the bigger the toys"...only for people who sneer at "bassboats" ... their toy is shoving their thumbs in the eye of ANYBODY that they perceive as being "not me".
We no longer have a society in which... as the Brits did it...debated "resolved... ( some thing ) "... and people debated and then shook hands and went to Fleet Street to stand at a stand bar and lift a glass of "Chateau Fleet Street".
it is...
all gone...

I know that WTF will have a hard time believing this but on the Internet are several psychological analysis questionnaires that end up ranking you on the political spectrum using a graph, usually a circle or square divided into four quadrants.

Of course, the way such quizes are formed says as much about the quiz maker as the results say for the quiz taker. Questions like "Who would you rather kill, your mother or your father?" and there are only two boxes, Mother and Father. No option to say "Neither" if your real feelings are that you love and appreciate both of them.
The X axis is usually labeled "Left-Right", with Far Left on the left end and Far Right on the right end. The Y axis is labeled "Authoritarian-Libertarian", with pro gov being at the top and anti-gov spenders being on the bottom. I usually rank somewhere in the middle, slightly left of center on politics and slightly below center on gov. In other words, I am all in favor of giving someone a helping hand, for a time, not a permanent handout. And, I prefer that government minimize its presence in the day to day affairs of people and stop creating laws that make felonies of what used to be considered misdemeanors or annoyances. Sending a SWAT team to examine beer licenses or collect overdue book fines is too much government.Leave a comment:

Vinny, I think it's actually"Republicant", lol.
JGlen - +1 same here on both counts. KDE lover but some of the apps totally are not worth the trouble. Politically I label myself independent - meaning I prefer to make my own decisions not follow some dogma spewed out by demagogues. As far as I can tell, the Executive Branch is almost all demagogues these days. I can count those that are not, IMO, on one one hand.Leave a comment:
