As odd as it feels, martial law in Chicago makes sense. There's such an open disregard for the law that you could call it an insurrection that needs to be put down. Tell people they have 48 hours to leave then waste it. Two big problems: 1. THAT IS SO RACIST AHHHHHHHHH 2. You can't seriously trust the government to not abuse that precedent whenever possible to establish a police state

Whites people do this all the time, they just don't announce their rationale so bluntly.

Every time a 90's Lincoln dies a part of me dies with it. Detuned V8's, crappy slushboxes, staggeringly awful fuel economy and just luxo barge glory. How much would you want for it? As for replacement (as if there is any suitable replacement other than a Lincoln Town Car), the Grand Cherokee will do you just fine. Though I'd at least look into those unkillable K Chevys or a Ford Ranger as well. I do think the Grand Cherokee soiled the Jeep brand for personal reasons that I do not expect others to share, but I will admit it'll do pretty much what the Lincoln did without much fuss. Beware, its AMC engineered and Chrysler manufactured--but if it lasted this long to be put on the market you can.be assured its a decent machine.

Oh we do, which is why we aren't in the right lane. Because it pretty quickly turns into "THIS DAMN TRUCK ISN'T LETTING ME ON THE EXPRESSWAY GOD." The passengers side blind spot isn't something we chose to have, its a reality of our vehicles that is really unavoidable.

But I didn't say never drive there. I just said dont use that lane to pass a truck because its very risky. Its really not that difficult to pass a truck in the middle lane from the right lane. You just take your time a little getting over, pass, then go back to the middle.

You want to merge into a 70+ ft. long 80,000 lb monster that cannot see you? And I wouldn't call trucks "useless", I mean were just enabling the American economy to function.

Honestly, if 4 wheelers just used the left lane for passing trucks, cruised at highway speeds in the middle with the trucks and the right lane was used for very slow traffic and merging on/off things would go very smoothly.

So after a couple months at the helm of a big rig I feel qualified to give your 4 wheelers some tips on dealing with us that will help you: 1. Never pass on the right. Never pass on the right. NEVER PASS ON THE RIGHT. Once the highway goes to the 3 lanes trucks will mostly camp the middle lane, this keeps us from having to get out of the way and let in merging traffic while not blocking the passing the lane. A lot of 4 wheelers take this as an invitaton to use the right lane as a 2nd passing lane. I've come very close to running over numerous cars because on the passenger's side of the truck I dont have blind spots, I have blind fields. I cant see you down there, you're underneath the field of my side mirrors and unless you're driving some lifted truck I cannot see you out the passenger window. Everytime you do it you are risking death, I'm not kidding. If there's one rule you can follow around trucks its this one. 2. If you find yourself in the lane to the passengers side of the truck and see the right turn signal come get out of there immediately. Dont try and accelerate out either, either merge quickly into the open lane beside you or if there is no lane there brake hard and get out of the trucks way. Drivers will check their mirrors a few times after they put the signal on but there are spots where we cannot see you and if the coast looks clear we'll merge. If a truck is changing lanes its usually for a good reason, not just to get in the lane that's moving 1 or 2 mph faster than another. 3. Dont sabotage our following distance. This is not a dire mistake to make, but trucks try to keep 4 or 5 seconds at least between themselves and the vehicle in front of them. You stop in about 1/4 the distance we do, so we need that extra room. Taking it because you can WOT for a little and speed past traffic you're just forcing the truck to slow down and re-establish his following distance behind your dumb ass. Now we are 9 sitting 9 feet above ground, we can see traffic to the horizon so we have some pretty advance warning of slow downs. It's just a courtesy thing mostly, though if traffic is slowing and you cut in front of a truck who's hard on the brakes then brake yourself once you're in his lane he'll run you over and kill you. Dont do that, that's a bad idea. 4. We talk. If you do something catatrsophically dumb the message of it will get ahead and depending on who's up there they'll block you off or, if you're really unlucky, they'll corral you. Some of you have had this happen to you, maybe you didn't even know it was intentional. I dont participate in it but it happens. 5. Tailgating. Many drivers go crazy over this one, I really dont. You're trying to save on gas it's cool. Just know that if I lose a tire that's 100 lbs of steel and rubber flying at 60 mph towards your windshield. I take so much longer to stop than you do you'd have to struggle to rear end me. Just kinda make sure you can get in our mirrors every once and a while so we know you're there.

Tex, I only a couple of months ago left Chicago and Cook County for the first time in my life (except for college, but that doesn't really count).

I do miss the White Sox and Bears. I'll give you that.

All but two cities in the country are "fractions the size of Chicago." Dallas / Ft. Worth, Houston, San Antonio and Phoenix are pretty large cites in their own rights. And hey, none of them are in a death spiral while Chicago just posted its lowest census figures in like 100 years. But I really dont see the appeal of living in some massive city. What's in it? You're just stacked on top of one another, you can only really go as far as your lame bicycle or public transportation can take you (unless you have a car, which most cities will put in the poor house for having the audacity to own) and everything is more expensive. I guess that's whats cool now though. Urban grit, the concrete jungle. "Yea man, I could totally have gotten mugged on my to Yo Yo Yogurt time from the boutique pet salon." They dont even have that grit anymore, I'm guessing it might've been cool back in the day where if you wanted to do some depraved s*** that skirted legality you had to find a New York or Chicago; but pretending that still exists when most American cities are some combination of hipster dens, yuppie Disneyland and gang warzones is just delusional. Oh, and that's not even getting started on the taxes. So yea, go ahead... if you want the cities you can have them. Most logistics and manufacturing infrasture got kicked out to build ugly condo's years ago and a vast majority of jobs provided are in crucial sectors of the economy like food service, "working" for the city or, if you're lucky, some wealth recycling plant where you camp in a cubicle before you take the bus home. Some existence! By the way, I'm talking about cties that aren't entirely run by liberals. People may have voted for Obama to destroy the country but many of them had better sense in electing local officials.

I keep reading thus as 3000 Koreans

Salt Lake City, Dallas, Houston (sadly is turning liberal, its fate looms), San Antonio, Charlotte, Indianapolis, Anchorage, Phoenix... I think combined those cities have fewer murders every year than Chicago. And they cost less to live (EVIL RICH PEOPLE MAKE THINGS EXPENSIVE GRRRR) in than New York, Boston or Chicago. Portland hugely benefits from the rest of Oregon being so conservative. I mean none of these compare to liberal boomtowns like Gary or Baltimore but one day I'm sure they strive to be as successful as those cities are now.

And Detroit once upon time made enough stuff to win a world war. Its over for Chicago the same way its over for Detroit. The best outcome the city could hope for is not being on the ledge of being unincorporated like could very well still happen to Detroit. Its the city listed on my birth certificate, it is home to me, so while it does bring me some joy to see the liberals fail yet again I just wish it couldve been somewhere else. Expecting a return to former glory for Chicago is going to leave you disappointed. The future of the city is basically North Platte NE mixed with Cleveland/Detroit/Milwaukee type rot... whole lotta trains, whole lotta vacancy.

But banning rape isn't someone roundabout way of preventing rape. Its directly saying "if you rape people ans you're caught we'll send you to prison." Firm, direct and simple. No social engineering there. Now, thinking we have too many murders than start banning things we think might cause them not is actually doing anything more to punish or dissuade murderers than the preexisting law against murder. Its just social engineering for the purpose of disarming the population and eradicating a way of life for many people. And Jake, I know in your fantasy world gun owners have nothing but contempt for human life and deserve to be killed from the sky by your deity-government abomination thing you believe in. But the reality is if some dude from Chicago shows up to buy a rifle almost everyone will say no because they are worried about whqt it'll be used for.

A comment like that shows how little you know about the things youre so drsperate to ba.

But its impossible to legally buy guns in Indiana if you're from Illinois. I tried. So these guys in Chicago are probably getting them illegally. Now do you think illegal arms dealers are going to obey a new gun law? And even if you do pass it, how the hell are you going to be able to enforce when you cannot enforce the current laws worth a damn? When laws are not working, the solution is not more laws. I know you're answer. A big dump truck of money, if not from the Feds then from Indiana taxpayers because you know Illinois is way too ingrained with the liberal entitlement mentality (also IL is broke) to pay for anything.

I've tried buying toys like that from the fun stores in Indiana. They won't sell it to you if you're from Illinois, even with a FOID. You could try Armslist I guess, I don't know if those guys are willing to risk having it come back on them either. Its not as simple as just saying "Hey Mr. Indiana, 4 ASSAULT STYLE KILLRIFLES, a box of bombs and 7 BANANACLIPS with 2000 rounds of your best BABYSEEKING AMMO, please. Oh, and some cheap smokes." You have to first get your hands on the weapon, which isn't easy because they are expensive things that people are usually very protective of, then you have to break a whole heapin' helpin' of laws. But yea, I guess if you're a murderer you don't really care about breaking laws, which makes me wonder what good banning guns would do. Except Chicago effectively has a gun ban. And people get shot everyday. So we already know, it doesn't work banning guns. Even if you try to blame it on Indiana.

Wow go Africa! Too bad the combined GDP of the entire continent is less than Spain. Failed state Spain, the same Spain that has only like 50 million people to Africa's billion. I'm not impressed that they're allowing the Europeans (so much for not falling for for that one again) and.Chinese loot their natural resources. I don't think its worth the trouble, really. The world "tried" Africa, even though its a lot less P/C than it was in 2000 its still The Hopeless Continent.

I remember the day I got my car I was so goddamn happy I'd never have to suffer through it again. How do really come off the L with a positive experience? Its a dinky train filled to the brim with the worst America has to offer. And being faster than the bus is like being better at drawing than Helen Keller, the big difference is buses are a lot cheaper. Cities royally f***ed anyways, now that I'm out I'd rather they continue the downward spiral because its at least entertaining from a distance.

The L has been and will always be an albatross. It provides nothing buses cannot already do except more convienent places for theft and rolling homes for the homeless. The city cannot afford it, much less afford to keep it running 24/7. For what you pay (last time I took it was $2.25 but I heard it went up in some convoluted scheme only Chicago would conjure) you get what? Frequently late, always filthy and generally crime ridden train rides. They'll never take it down like they should. Its an icon of a time when Chicago was even moderately relevqnt, before it had a spiraling murder problem and got globally humiliated by the one institution more corrupt than they are

Egypt sentenced them to death lol

What a peaceful place, take notes America: Banning guns works!

Why do you care if people want to drive? If they want to pay for fuel and registration because they don't like the bus that has nothing to do with you. Oh, and hating public transportation because it sucks isn't racist.

It sounds like you have a bit of a problem with cars? Don't like the civilized world where we have nice things like cars that allow to make those kinda of trip? Rather live ina country where that isn't even an option? Great! Africa will take you I'm sure. You'll live a nice progressive lifestyle until you're burned alive for being a witch.
