Yeah, that dude went off his meds.

On an aside, I'm kinda pissed about the charge of "ethnic intimidation". Like, regular intimidation charges weren't good enough anymore? They had to go and make a special one?

I just don't like having to read a legal code as thick as my thigh when it only needs to be as thick as my arm. (and both are pretty thick because I'm a permanent profile and just go the the gym and lift weights 5 days a week.)

well the trick is don't be an rear end in a top hat and do illegal poo poo like trying to bomb mosques and you never have to encounter the law, its pretty crazy

I wasn't thinking you were being argumentative.

It's just that having served in a capacity to enforce laws/regulations/policies/etc for so long I have seen the kind of BS that comes from adding little clauses allowing different, or harsher, penalties for special groups or persons. Laws WILL be abused, and I've literally seen law enforcement at all levels sit around and search for just the right legal verbage in existing law to allow them to hammer a person they either do not like/agree with, or have been ordered to.

Heck, Martin Luther King was arrested over 20 times (and they WISH they had the anti-terrorism laws we have today) because the government thought his speeches were inciting violence, racism, and hatred.

It's because of the way that MLK was treated that I'm very leery of supporting laws that have the term racism in them. Because if D&D has taught us anything, it's that we're all racist in somebody's eyes.

Let's laugh at a funny pic or two.

Yeah basically the giant boner the government has for eliminating rights should give everyone pause no matter who's in office. The push to have people added to no-fly lists, watchlists, removal of due process all over, asset forfeiture and all sorts of horrendous War on Drugs fallout... it's a huge loving problem.

I love to party. I love going out. I freaking go nuts when I get sent off somewhere away from the wet blankets on staff here. Every Friday I'm like: "Hey let's go out and try every club on such and such street!". Then all the losers are like: "Uh, I gotta write a paper for war college." or some dumb stuff.

You're right about house parties being better. My problem is the stupid Army forces me to socialize only with people I don't care for too much.

I've got tons of enlisted buddies who I love to party with, but they're all civilians now and don't live anywhere near me. And I have been mentally destroyed by the military and can't be around civilians because they either think I'm scary, or if they're charitable, just an rear end in a top hat.

*edit* Hey, you young LT's. Do your minimum and get out.

Once you retire move to Florida because everyone of all ages there goes out and drinks somewhere, somehow. I always felt like a weirdo when I went to other states in the south east and realized most people don't drink like I'm used to in Florida.

The older you are, the more fun Florida is. Getting drunk on the beach owns.

Also, my active duty commitment lasts until summer 2018. Thanks OCS for not having me end up with a 5 year AD commitment or an ADSO.
