That study on Morton Grove and Kennesaw is just looking at burglaries, not murders or other violent crimes.

So the Encyclopedia Britannica is wrong when it says the US Constitution is the oldest written constitution in the world?

You might have local laws and traditions that are old, but I'm talking about the national level constitutions that dictate how the governments operate and what freedoms are afforded to the people. Not one European constitution is older than the US Constitution. Sorry if you don't agree with facts and history.

You're only kind of right...

The US is young compared to European countries as far as a large amount of people occupying those territories. Over their thousands of years of existence, European countries have endured many regime changes, constitution re-writes. The US Constitution as a ruling document is the older than…

Canada is still a young country historically speaking. They also don't need a large military presence due to the US's capabilities. Therefore, there's not a large threat of a police state takeover. If the US falls for whatever reason, look for that to change, and I bet then citizens won't be thinking it is working out…

While I do agree with you, they did said he was a big proponent of gun control... isn't Democrat implied with that?

Yea, most posts about firearms on Gawker are from Jesus Diaz talking about how irrationally afraid we should be of them.

Speaking historically, trusting government doesn't normally work out well for the people.

Mexico is one country I'd be wary about journeying too far from the "touristy" places. Been on too many trips there where someone in our group did just that and it went poorly for them... either getting assaulted, mugged, injured, etc, etc. Almost every trip I've taken to Mexico has been accompanied by something…

LA as in Los Angeles or Louisiana?

Yea, being a cultural sponge is fun... you try new things, and if you don't like it, don't do it again (especially when it comes to food), but a lot of times you can find new foods. However, you might find new favorites.

Being military, I know exactly what you're talking about. When I lived in overseas locales (unfortunately I was never stationed at Hickam AFB, but I have been to Maui). Personally when I was in a new culture, I would try and get out with the locals as much as possible and enjoy a new culture, but there were many of us…

I've never played an Infamous game... can anyone explain to me why they switched out the use of electricity from the first two games and switched it out for shooting rainbows?

I wish companies would actually use artwork like this for box covers every now and then. I wouldn't want to see everything look like this, but it would definitely be nice change of pace to see it every now and again.

You said beat-off... huh-huh-huh... huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh

I want to get a truck for my next vehicle (not sure what size), and I really like this truck, but I don't think I'd pick it over the new F-150 or even a Tacoma. We'll have to see when they're all out.

No problem. My career field worked very closely with them (we call them BMETs), and I thought about going guard because there was a SSgt slot open in that field here in Minneapolis. I decided against it because my wife and I had only been married for 2 months at the time, and going on a 11 month TDY after you've been…

If you like fixing things, but don't really want the stress of the flightline environment, look into 4A2x1, Biomedical Equipment when you go guard. Basically you're doing maintenance for hospital equipment. It's a long tech school (11 months), but it's pretty much a six figure job on the civilian side when you have…

I just separated last year and am using the GI Bill. I was in the first wave of cuts. No CJR was offered to me. I was kind of surprised because in my first enlistment I made BTZ, got selected for SSgt, was named the Air Force level Airman of the year for my career field, and helped re-write the CDCs for my career…

Active duty Air Force. I spent most of my time enlisted overseas in Germany. It sucked being away from home, but travelling Europe was fun, and we got a lot of free entertainment from acts going down range to support deployed troops. Its really cool when big acts like Five Finger Death Punch or Korn come drink and…

I'm prior military, and there were lots of games sold on base that came with coins. Most of the Call of Duty games came with them, and I have a Skyrim coin somewhere still, I think.
