so then why post it? unless you are being paid to post it... why bother? what is the point?
It interests and/or amuses me.

Take the diamond one. Full of innuendo and speculation. Signifying much while actually saying little. What is there to say about it really? Yet I did come up with a sentence about it. I even included that sentence in the post.

omg... when I was in china my hosts took me out to dinner... then they were shocked I knew how to use chopsticks... I thought you said this was your first trip to china well yeah but I eat chinese food all the time... /chinesemindblown so I tried to explain that chinese food is popular in the us...which blew their minds even further... and then I made the mistake of saying the best one was in china town... so then I had to try to explain china town...and then I made the mistake of mentioning the owner of my favorite one was vietnamese but nobody likes vietnamese food so he opened a chinese place and they were mortified...that's false advertising

so now they are all filled with a burning desire to come to america and confront non-chinese chinese restaurant owners.
In Bend OR there is, or used to be, a most perfectly integrated Chinese - American restaurant. Fairly standard American truck stop menu and decent Chinese selection. All the American items included a side of french fries or fried rice. All the waitresses were blond high school aged girls in red cheomsangs.

Something I've been thinking about for while now; there's this "what do I do" surrounding getting pulled over while carrying a CCW. From what I've seen, it's best to disclose nonverbally by handing over your permit with your license.

Driver's licenses have various classes where I am; motorcycle license, driver's license, commercial driver's license in various classes. Also added are whether or not you are an organ donor or a military veteran.

So, why not add something to tell if you have a CCP? Basically all you're doing is letting the officer know that you're lawfully carrying a weapon. You'd still need your permit on you but this would be an easy way for the officer to know.

I tell them straight up when they come to the window, I have a concealed carry permit and a pistol in my back.

Never had a problem.

Politifact with a pretty open handed evaluation of presidential vacations:

Is a 'working vacation' still a vacation?


And from the Murdoch owned New York Post:

Trump has spent nearly a third of his presidency at his properties

Say WHAT??? They drew no conclusions, they pointed no fingers, they explained carefully why no presidential vacation can possibly avoid work. And unlike the Post they counted no days.

I thought the post's was biased and that's a Murdoch paper.

I think it's more to prevent a bunch of bs 911 calls when you show your license to buy alcohol/cigarettes, ask for your balance at the bank, etc...

All it takes is somebody to see that icon and get all paranoid. Plus, it kind of defeats the purpose of concealing your carry if everyone can get a glimpse of your license when you show it.

Never had a problem.

You get pulled over that frequently for it to be enough of a routine to say you "never have" problems?

Not trying to be a smartass. But if you get pulled over so frequently that you have a good sample size, the gun might not be the most dangerous thing about you. D:

But really. Keep your hands on the wheel until the police ask for stuff, tell them where the things are that you're reaching for, explain that as you reach they may see your piece for which you have a CCP that you will also be giving them.

Move slowly. Keep hands visible. Narrate your actions if you have to reach for anything.

Shouldn't have any problems as long as you're not a ***.

Police officers are heroes Shruiken. They put their LIVES on the line for us EVERY STINKING DAY. They risks their lives every time they put on that uniform to keep us safe...WTF do you put up every day? Shitty posts on a stupid forum...NOTHING! you little bish... nothing nearly as valuable. You want to sit there in the safety they provide for you and criticize then for how they do it? FU! Yeah they're human and yeah they make mistakes. SO WHAT?

When the ***hits the fan you're racing for the phone to call them just like every other little punk *** out there...

Sorry. Police officer friend got killed during a routine traffic stop by some high as a kite piece of ***. I don't really give a damn if it's anecdotal evidence. I begrudge no officer being on high alert every traffic stop.

Being on high alert is perfectly fine, it's expected and completely understandable. Being aggressive and shooting at anything and everything isn't fine. Covering and lying for police officers who are clearly out of line isn't fine. Planting evidence isn't fine. The institution of law enforcement in the USA has severely abused the trust and benefit of a doubt the citizens have previously granted them, all over to protect something like 0.1% of the police force.

To put it in another light, US Soldiers on foreigner soil engaged in the act of warfare against a hostile enemy with clear intent to kill face a higher standard of conduct then Police Officers in the USA. If a soldier in Afghanistan or Iraq engaged with the same rules as US Police Officers, they would be found guilty of committing war crimes.

Shooting innocent civilians or unarmed combatants is illegal under the Geneva convention yet US Police Officers frequently shoot civilians and unarmed combatants in the USA. An armed ISIS insurgent has less to fear from the US Military then an unarmed civilian in the USA does from the US Police Force. This is not hyperbole, this isn't exaggeration, its the reality we live in now where Police Officers have virtually no limits to what they can do. They have no oversight and they know and abuse it.
