If your goal is to steal a cell phone, don't do it in Mt Greenwood. Good to catch the crooks. I love my old Mt. Greenwood neighborhood. We didn't even have to lock our doors back then, Hopefully they'll be charged to the full extent of the law. ... I followed Bro Rice baseball Harry. Damn it's hard to win a state title in Illinois. You have to win so many games in football and baseball to claim the crown. Looks like the guys had one "bad" game. Any controversy regarding the game? Did the right guy pitch and all that? I heard Rice had one amazing pitcher. Obviously can't pitch the same guy every game. I watched some games on Rice TV. That catcher is amazing and of course Lausch. My prediction is he'll take the baseball money. That Rice team was dominant. Edited June 16, 2022 by greg775 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 I don't remember where the VA came up before but this is the stuff they did to Agent Orange vets too. They pretended it wasn’t real until many died and suffered needlessly. The data is unavailable because the US government classified it to cover their own gross negligence, just like Vietnam. https://www.usnews.com/news/politics/articles/2022-06-16/senate-set-to-enhance-benefits-for-vets-exposed-to-burn-pits?context=amp Currently, more than 70% of disability claims related to burn pit exposure are denied by the VA due to lack of evidence, scientific data and information from the Defense Department.

One of my uncles actually was treated for agent orange exposure, but he never felt like they told him everything. It's hard not to blame anything that was wrong with him on agent orange even if it was unconnected when you don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it hard to understand how Americans can be so different. I am 100 percent worried about the carjacking problem and unabashed violence in cities and now suburbs. I personally find it impossible to believe you guys aren't concerned seemingly at all. It just shows the amazing divide in America and how the country probably really does need to split into several different countries. We are that different. p.s. Another cousin of mine is abandoning Chicago. He and his wife are heading to Texas. Both are teachers and both are sick of the taxes, poor leadership in government and crime. I also have cousins who have headed to Arizona and Tennessee respectively and one great friend and his wife wanting out to San Diego if his adult daughter can get her life together so he can leave her. He is a very intelligent rich man having been one of the heads of the Fed in downtown Chicago. ... Also my nephew the firefighter in west chicago says the neighborhood is one big drug infested crime infested mess.

Kyyle23 Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 West Chicago is a pretty decent sized town with a lot of neighborhoods, which one are we talking about here? I have friends that live in that town and they are in a very nice area near Prince Crossing road, I went to high school in west Chicago for my freshman year and went to middle school at Benjamin in west Chicago and the area was pretty nice around my middle school also. what I am roundabout getting at is these anecdotal fear posts about where people live and the crime that is happening in those places suck. Illinois isn't some icky pool of crime, Greg. People aren't getting carjacked every ten seconds and your weird obsession with it from way out in Kansas is super strange 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted June 19, 2022 Author Share Posted June 19, 2022 Starting in the 1990s the gun industrial complex realized that hunters were a nice market but they could sell millions more by selling to the rest of America. They ratcheted up the advertising and within a couple years they dropped hunting related ads to about 10% of their overall budget. The most iconic ad of that era appeared in Ladies Homes Journal. I forget the handgun, Baretta 9mm probably, it was sitting on the kitchen table with the tag line Home insurance. Companies are getting rich by making Americans afraid. Drug testing companies manipulate Americans into believing most people on assistance are drug users and we ought to buy millions of their drug testing kits. States discovered that most folks on assistance weren't drug users. We stopped locking up non violent drug offenders. The for profit prison industry convinced Americans to lock up undocumented workers. Another nice group of non violent offenders that they can profit from. There is a lot of money to be made by making America seem full of problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of funny they’d be moving to California, Arizona and Texas which are full of murderous, thieving illegals from Mexico and Central/South America (if you believe the Republican propaganda).
