yes.
i am for environmental things (the only non conservative in this group it seems...)
but seriously, you don't need to be trying to bring on change by Dictating people around, threatening to arrest them. Who are we... Soviet Russia?

Dang,

Even here in California, I have never heard of something like that! I certainly would not know what to do on a call like that. I would probably be too busy talking to the guy about his truck to remember why I was there in the first place.

Better be careful with that 3 feet high, they will get you for air pollution then! You won't be able to win for losing.

The constables in my county have a task force just for this kind of thing. Did not know that tell today.

I bet if you drove a Prius and lived in an eco friendly house and leaned to the left, you would be fine. You just need to get rid of your truck!

nothing I do is harming the environment. I am not very green, but I never spill fluids and take care of oil properly. What I want to know is how 3 feet off the ground will help any thing? And yes, I do think you are the only non-conservative on hear!
How do you feel about guns? LOL.

....yeah, about that haha.


I think they are great, but I don't see the purpose in having one at my house.
I feel secure enough to know that my local Police Department will get to my house should the alarm go off.
I don't have a problem with guns, I have fired quite a few and think it's actually quite a good way to relieve a bit of stress every now and then.
and I can understand having a handgun in your house, but seriously... an m16, .50 cal. rifle, shotgun, mini-gun, that kind of stuff, has no use at a home. or even at a gun range...

In Soviet Russia, globe warms you!

(Sorry, had to)

I can understand doing things like keeping vehicles running right and stuff, but what difference is there between having an oil drain pan 3 feet off the ground, when it'd be the same thing at 1 foot? I understand the ideas, but I think some people go way overboard with it.


EDIT: Just throwing my two cents in there:

I'll give you that, but what're you gonna do if the guy breaking into your house shoots you as soon as he gets in the door, before the cops even get to their cruisers? And when it all boils down, we as Americans have a Constitutional right to bear arms, so people who are against gun ownership shouldn't look down on others who choose to own a gun or multiple guns. Assuming the gun owner is responsible and careful, of course.

I have a shot gun and 22 rifle.
I live in the country and hunt. I get what you mean though.

I see it as I have a family and want to protect them. Some of my guns are for hunting, and a .50 cal is overkill, BUT if I could afford one I would definately have one for the cool factor! I also like making big holes!

HA HA, nice one!

The difference is if you go to jail or not.
