(300Busa @ Nov. 25 2006,10:34) Scenario: A group of motorcycles are riding through town together.


1973:  They are feared as a deadly motorcycle gang


2006:  People don't even notice us.

Hell 1991 Me and Buddie building pipe bombs and other improvised munitions to take to the quary and blow up dirt.

Big Fun!!!! Lots of Cannon fuse, Black powder, powdered aluminum, Fertalizer and Diesel fuel, magnesium, on and on... We blew up rocks and dirt and we made rockets and Thermite...

GOOD Harmless FUN! Never destroyed anything, but dirt.

After Oklahoma though? Holy crap, we couldn't get ourselves out of the hobby fast enough. If you couldn't see the chain of Dominos falling from there, then you were blind. Oklahoma took all of the "Kids being Kids" out of making things go BOOM.

Sucked alot because we had a decent amount of materials and were really pretty good at building these things.

The college kids choose to spit on cops and call them a-holes to their faces. Products of parents who never disciplined them with a paddle or belt.
Parolees have rights and are afforded an attorney (at your expense good taxpayer) during revocation hearings.
Illegal immigrants are driving drunk, unlicensed, and uninsured. They are crashing into good citizens in record numbers, getting arrested, failing to appear and doing it again.
Gangbangers are terrorists and should be treated as such. They are not and continue to prosper in our neighborhoods.
The ineffectiveness of our legal system is based on constantly changing case law. Attorneys for the bad guys interpret the law, not the judges. The current state of policing is a joke.

There is another 2006 scenario to one of 'em.

(psycobusa @ Nov. 25 2006,02:21) Scenario: Johnny and Mark get into a fist fight after school.

1973 - Crowd gathers. Mark wins. Johnny and Mark shake hands and end up best friends. Nobody goes to jail, nobody arrested, nobody expelled.



2006 - Police called, SWAT team arrives, arrests Johnny and Mark.   Charge them with assault, both expelled even though Johnny started it.

2006 - Johnny goes home, gets his dad's gun, and shots Mark even though Mark won fair and square.

Scenario: Johnny falls while running during recess and scrapes his knee. He is found crying by his teacher, Mary. Mary, hugs him to comfort him.



1973 - In a short time Johnny feels better and goes on playing.



2006 - Mary is accused of being a sexual predator and loses her job. She faces 3 years in State Prison.


You forgot that Mary will be on the National Sex Offender Site for life. Hounded by neighbors, etc.

Of course Mary writes a book that becomes a movie and is worth millons
