Why do you feel the need to defend savage mentally ill people by noting other savage mentally ill people? Are you gay and feel like you’re being singled out? Do you have something against religion? It’s just a strange thing to be so offended by someone noting the sexual mental illness of murderers. Why?
Because some of us have to pay to get them and would lose everything if we got caught without them. Some don’t have that problem
Even here in Alabama I’ve had to use a translator on my phone to communicate with about 5-6 the last year. From car haulers to freight drivers
Sweet. Can you give me the lotto numbers too? And tell me me agin how we were all gonna die by 1987……Pffft

Yeah I thought it was supposed to be a bit of a hassle to get one. I guess not.

Damn it. It cost me about $180, fingerprints, background check and physical this past year to renew. It must be a state thing cause Bama ain’t playing.

No I suppose not. Barring a shift from President Trumps efforts to rein some of it in..we are at risk of being completely subjugated. But I’m certain unbridled liberty would not come with bridled self control and bring about a bit of a “Wild West” society. Most people will never go along with that. The search for the sweet spot continues……

Could it be the way the feds got seat belt and helmet laws? If the state didn’t kneel and pass these laws, they didn’t get highway grants. It wasn’t because they “loved everyone” or they cared about the people’s safety. Frick no. We have those laws for fed money

Ha haaaaa. “Ain’t no fun when the rabbits got the gun..”. Is it sugar?
What a great thread. Thought I was the only one….. :cheers:
Don’t think it’s serious. A look at her profile tells me this was tongue in cheek. Chick is a hardcore deporter
Really big church. It will have a lot of problems?



I’m trying not to besmirch my catholic friends

4 or 5 of my sons white friends attended an HBCU on scholarships. For the baseball team.
Numbers are probably right. I have to say it’s usually where it’s expected and a single arrest a couple of months ago solved about 12 of them immediately. Like I said it’s not great, but the yuppies are spreading unbelievably fast downtown. We’ll see if it continues to improve
Birmingham has been largely gentrified by virtue of the UAB medical system. Great? Nah. But I will strongly argue it’s waaaaay better than 30-40 years ago.
It’s the 3 names curse. Nobody wants the chicks with 3 names.
6% of America are black males. 30% are white males. Either white kids are doing other things or the black kids really are that much better or…… I don’t know. Seems like a big statistical question mark to me. The NBA and NFL I mean
I enjoyed the hell out of the thread but damn it your right

re: Trump: Ban all property taxes

Posted by TiderTom on 7/5/25 at 6:59 am to
I’m all in and for it. But my little town is mostly funded by property taxes. We have the second highest millage rate in Alabama. In the early ‘70’s it got passed to fund our own school system and get out of the county system. Then a federal judge said “No” but the rate never got changed back. The city started to shift demographics in the ‘90’s and accelerated by the tornado in “11. Now, we have a huge multi million dollar new high school and about 8-10 busses bringing kids in from surrounding communities. Very few local kids. I have to say, the city has been well run as far as services, etc. to this point. Elections in August will just about complete the transition and……….well, we’ll see. I don’t see property taxes really ever going away but if they do our new leadership will have to get creative.
