What happens if you hire your nephew and it doesn't work out? Say, the van needs a major repair, which you should pay for, but you believe it's due to his negligence? Or he decides he doesn't like living in a tin can? I don't think you have any idea how many things can go wrong with hiring a...

I guess "questioning" someone who is standing up is too hard, as the agents "took him down" before he had a chance to get belligerent. [When I worked on the Trauma Unit at a Level 1 inner city hospital, intoxicated patients were frequent - I know how it can be. Oddly enough, not one of them ever...

Not a believer in the 'butterfly effect', huh? ;) Seriously: paying more attention to how much water we use is like recycling: it's something we need a nudge to do, [most of us] because it's easier not to. Anyhow, all they're doing is trying to find out how much of an issue it is - nobody's...

If it comes to that, sure. Just like it took the Feds to make some stop dumping toxic chemicals in the rivers, or strip mining & clear cutting entire states, for their own benefit. Because some people are just too self centered to care about anyone else. So what if California runs out of water...

Another benefit to the well equipped sleeper is meals - you'll eat better and spend less when you cook your own, rather than relying on restaurants.:D

He said he thinks it's an idea with merit [I agree] but it would not be permitted in the US, and he's right about that, the Repubs would be reading Dr Seuss from here to eternity to stop it from a vote. If you "read between the lines" and "interpret" that to mean we WILL be required to vote...

The race component wasn't part of the early reports, [except Johnson yelled it while on the ground, when he was shocked] so it's not my misunderstanding, it's a late addition, lol. And I think it's a false one - the ABC agents have been in trouble before, for arresting a woman whose case of...

Now we know you don't know what's going on, because the Va U student incident doesn't allege racism, it's about the aggression of LEOs. They wanted to talk to the student, so they took him to the ground, after which he needed stitches. He wasn't being arrested, or handcuffed, and there was...

My response was directed to this comment, in post #22 What's utterly retarded is that statement and its complete lack of logic or justification. It's obvious from the video that it is indeed an ATTACK - assault and battery to be exact, upon a white girl and her 5 year old brother by another...

The news outlets are using it to inform the populace. Those who read the entire story may be outraged at the need for ABC agents to "take to the ground" someone they want to "talk to", but they will also know that the victim is requesting that people respond calmly, and not go off rioting in the...

He said it's an idea that has merit, and too many Americans won't go for it. I agree. How does that equate to "You WILL vote in the next election"?

Actions have consequences, and some people don't givadam what the consequences of their behavior are to others, which is the whole reason we need laws and regulations and rules. We'd all like to keep them to a minimum, which is why the EPA wants to take a looksee at whether it's a problem...

What's racist is the assumption that because the parties were different races, that is what motivated the attack.

I can't answer that, but I do know that In & Il use a higher % of bio in diesel, which makes it gel at higher temps, so keep that in mind when fueling in the winter. [Use extra antigel!]

Not enough info to even call it suspicious, so far - the man may have committed suicide.

Yet another "story" that doesn't confirm the premise of the headline - somebody needs to quit mimicking those clickbait sites already. What the story says is the EPA wants to monitor usage of showers in hotels, to see whether some guests waste water to a ridiculous degree, and if so, find a...

The second line of the OP begins with "In all seriousness, this is what a few of you sound like" which negates the accusation that it insulted everyone on the Soapbox. As for insulting, if those who post batsh*t crazy articles & contentions [what you characterize as "those you disagree with" as...

That's not even close to what he actually said. Apparently, reading comprehension is not a strength for you - or do you just deliberately misrepresent what people say when you don't agree with them? BTW: the clickbait headline outrage tactic backfires when the audience catches on - just...

I understand that some blame Obama for everything, but claiming that he is responsible for "creating racial upheaval and fomenting unrest" is among the most ignorant and plain stupid things I've read/heard, and that's a pretty high bar to clear. Racial upheaval and unrest would be even worse...

Absolutely. It's well known that it can make one more interested in scoring Doritos & Twinkies, and just hanging out/kicking back than doing anything like work. It can even make one laugh at an Adam Sandler movie, and judgement doesn't get more warped than that, IMO. ;)
