They wouldn't do > anything :) It's not for everybody. To be successful self employed you do need discipline to work when you have work. I've known a few that were self employed and their wife also had a job that was steady income and paid the bills. One of them slacked off because of that. In my case, single parent and no spouse, I worked every single day that I had work to do. I would never go to the beach on a nice day because I wasn't required to. If I had work, I was always there. I would feel guilty taking off a frivolous day. I had to reset my weekends too. Not every Sat and Sun off. My weekends came inbetween jobs no matter what day of week it was. |

Gotta love that power-hungry > bitch. She actually said that. When Congress passes a bill, only the first few important things are voted on. Many other small things included in about 400 pages...grants for this and that, etc. are often ignored other than staff looking through them to advise. Nancy Pelosi really is the wicked witch of the west. I wish she would get voted out but she won't. Her California district loves her. |

Many have company paid or co-paid and don't realize just how expensive it actually is. It's insane. Start your own business and not only do you pay it all but an individual policy has very few benefits as compared to a larger company group policy. |

Tax cheating supporter POS is all you are. Funny too as so many people bitch about the very rich paying as little tax as they can. Yes they do, but they do it legally. Blame Congress and their laws for that. You on the other hand are supporting tax fraud by paying in cash to people that might give you a discount and them not declaring that income. It's people like you multiplied by millions that really hurt our country and economy. Very double standard. When a few customers paid me in cash, they got no discount and I deposited that cash and paid my proper taxes on it. |

You're packing serious heat. Hollow points have the advantage over standard ammo in that they'll rarely punch right through someone (or something) and hit an innocent bystander behind the target.

Not too often. My brother thinks it should be on me at all times when I'm out. Carrying a loaded gun in a purse begins to feel like you are toting a concrete block around. |

More than once a single shot by a policeman using a revolver has put a criminal on the slab. Now they favor automatic pistols. |

They sure can't do that here. Even if a cop shoots a guy coming at him with a knife there is a chance he will be charged. In fact. we had a case here a few years ago where a young man with a knife was shot by a cop. They guy was messed up, had been laughed for exposing his dick in a streetcar, then slashed at woman seated nearby. Passengers all fled, exploding through the doors as soon as they opened. Cops arrived, one kept telling the guy to drop the knife, warned him not to advance..... guy advanced and the cop fired a volley of shoots into him.... all legal so far. But... then the cop fired a second volley of shots into what an expert witness claimed was a dead body. Cop was charged and convicted of attempted murder. ... even though the initial shooting and killing was legal. |

Now they favor automatic pistols. That would be semiautomatic pistols. They give them more firepower. They can carry several extra magazines with 15 rounds each rather than revolver speed loaders with only 6 rounds each. I don't know about the US prices, but up here a revolver is usually more expensive than a decent quality semiautomatic. I remember reading that the US marines went into WWII with the old Springfield bolt action rifle because it was reliable and accurate and troops would not need as much ammunition. A semi automatic can blow off a lot of heavy ammunition very quickly. |

They're not acquitted, they've been found guilty and the lawyers are dragging out the sentence being carried out. The cancer on society is sitting in jail and getting three meals a day and receiving visitations from his family.

Agreed but the sentence was way overkill. > > just so wrong. > So, you already had your mind made up instead of listening to all sides > and consider what you'd heard in the courtroom. As I said, I listened to all sides that morning and was convinced that the guy was guilty. I still wasn't going to vote to send him to prison for many years for that. Just because something is "official" doens't make it right. After the trial was dismissed, I talked to a couple of other jurors on the way out to our cars. Both agreed with me that the guy was obviously guilty but the harsh sentence was way overboard. Both had also planned to vote not guilty. |

Some people do seem kind of sleazy so human nature would make it easy to lean to guilty in spite of evidence. Easy to say sitting at a keyboard versus hearing testimony. Cases like that can be difficult to determine who it truthful. Good chance nither for part of it. |
