		<description>Jimbo, what&#039;s the matter.....were you CAUGHT &quot;keeping it real&quot; and living the THUG (a.k.a. CRIMINAL) lifestyle because your Mother and Father NEGLECTED their duties as parents?  The ONLY people I see whining about cops are the ones out &quot;Perpatrating&quot;...Waaaaa, the evil cops are picking on lil ol me because I am a wannabe criminal attempting to establish my &quot;rep&quot;...Waaaaaaa!

Wow...so you went to basic training as a reservist.  What do you want, a medal or a chest to pin it on?  I would suggest that you go down to the local VFW or American Legion Hall and take a look at some REAL heros, the ones that SERVED in the combat hellholes of Europe, The Pacific, Korea, Vietnam, and even more recent conflicts.  Tell them that you proudly completed basic training and what a &quot;real&quot; warrior you are!

If this current trend of NEGLECT and IRRESPONSIBILITY continues, the government will eventually step in and take control.  And dear &quot;Jimbo&quot;...if you think the police &quot;hassling&quot; you is bad, wait until the obamunists pass even more laws controlling your life.....because, obama&#039;s people are smarter and know better what&#039;s good for you - I know this, because they told me!

And it has already happened...irresponsible liberals with their &quot;enlighted&quot; philosophies on &quot;new&quot; and &quot;modern&quot; methods of education have turned our once great schools into to cesspools of minimum performance and undisciplined criminal hellholes where the average student fears for their safety daily, and have become nothing more than 8 hours of state-sanctioned day care.

Don&#039;t worry &quot;Jimbo&quot; and all of you other fellow-traveller liberals...the obamunist are now here to save the day from all of us &quot;evil&quot; conservatives.  HAH!  100+ days into his administration, and obama has accomplished the typical liberal agenda: NOTHING!</description>

		<description>Well, this is a result of the non-use of common sense in our laws.  I refer to Prohibition as an example of this.  You just outlaw (enter shady item here) just because a small element leads to (enter illegal activity here). 
This basically criminilizes activity which most people know will hurt nobody.

These prohibited activities include: alcohol, drugs, gambling,  censorship, crossing the border, carrying lots of money, gun control, and now includes curfews.     
These activities in and of themselves hurt nobody.  Alcohol and drugs in moderation are okay, but in excess for a very few lead to violence and crime. 
Having a poker game at home with a bunch of friends hurts nobody, but the lure of some easy money can lead a very small minority to crime. 
Someone reading banned literature hurts nobody.  Now, if they act in a criminal way based on the literature, punish the criminal, not the literature. 
Crossing a border into the US now gives the government reason to search with no cause.  So watch out if your computer happens to have inappropriate images saved. If not, you still may not get the computer back. 
A report from last year had authorities stop a person carrying 40,000 USD in cash.  There was no other reason to suspect him of anything.  But because some drug runners carry loads of cash, just having lots of cash in your possession warrants suspicion. 
Guns are banned in many situations, some common sense, but most because of the fear of a small minority who would use them for illegal purposes. 
Curfews are another government intrusion that punishes the innocent as well as the guilty.  

In all of these cases, there you suspicion or punishment of the innocent.  Where is the common sense in that?  Where is the Liberty?</description>

		<description>It does not belong to man who is walking even to direct his step.”—Jeremiah 10:23.  You see what happens when man tries to come up with is own rules.  We truly are silly people aren&#039;t we?</description>

		<description>Well, they need to give these little punks a good beating upside the head and shoulders. Everybody knows when you see a kid without his parents there&#039;s trouble in the making. Besides, they can&#039;t buy a beer when they&#039;re 18 so why should they be allowed to walk around when they&#039;re under 21? They need to be at home or school, not out bothering decent folk.</description>

		<description>Vexorg, at 17 I was emancipated and had already been to basic training for the Army Reserves (split option soldier). I had a GED, a job, and a military calling, I couldn&#039;t have done that with cops on my back all the time. Are you saying I didn&#039;t have any rights?</description>
