US Politics - A Society in Meltdown

Ya that’s exactly the conclusion any sane person would come to alright :grinning:

Believe what you want young man.

What’s the alternative? No jury? It’s the jury that acquitted him, and sometimes they get it wrong. Or maybe the prosecutor overreached in going for second degree murder.

The gun the cop used. His own it seems.

I read somewhere that police training in the states is dreadful. Literally only weapons and tactics, no interpersonal skills or engaging with the public training at all. All fear based and all based on the assumption that everyone is packing.

It also varies massively by state and even cities. What they have to deal with in some areas is not unlike a war zone. Gangs are the worst obviously but domestic violence call outs can be very dangerous as people have already lost the plot. Assuming they are going to be shot at is always close to mind. A lot of it is panicking.

You missed the baby, you missed the blind man…

Mate whatever herb you are putting in your herbal tea isn’t working, and wanking furiously to bestiality doesn’t count as yoga. Kindly fuck off and stop following me around whinging like a 13 year old girl on the rag.
You are an insufferable simpleton, a pox on this site.

They are more or less starting from scratch again. They don’t have the rocket power to get themselves and a decent sized payload to the moon anymore.

Did they ever?

The Saturn Rocket could have apparently, and the successors planned for it definitely would have been capable with technology in the 70’s & 80’s but it was scraped.
I read an article about it recently and apparently the Saturn Rocket had an estimated 1/20 chance of blowing up, not to mention all the other things that could go wrong. The US were happy with that in the race to beat the Russians but eventually the US decided they’d been to the moon a few times already so blowing up astronauts wouldn’t help the cause.
Then came the budget cuts so they decided they needed a shuttle they could reuse, and to get to that, they had to sacrifice power.
If they’d kept going we’d be holidaying on Mars by now.

And while you’re there, could you pick up some of that nice green moon money for me?
