    It's all a part of where we are today. Everything is "reality tv" and following the "famous and adored".

    They make it seem like "reality TV" is indeed real. It is not, every single show is scripted and edited for viewer entertainment.

    Which is what it is, entertainment, but it is not true to life by any measure. They play to the aspirations of riches and royalty . Make it look like they are living laviciously and leading the good life.

    Social media just allows them to carry that base beyond and between the shows or seasons.

    The internet has helped kill society as a whole, I grew up without it and was introduced with WebTV in the early/mid 90's. **** has went downhill ever since.

    Once technology is found, you will never be rid of it.

    Should this bill become law, ISP will knock on your door to seize and confiscate your firearms should you fail to comply within the 24 hour mandate.

    If and when that happens, I would bet they will have a NICS report of every date you were ever run via FOID report with every firearm you ever purchased.

    FOID was implemented in 1968, I would bet a wooden nickel they still have a valid data base that contains every person in IL issued a FOID since implementation.

    I would almost bet it is probably one of the most maintained data bases, paper or electronic, to date.

    Flying Delta thru Atlanta, I sat in your crap hole airport for two damn hours and you slackers could not get my bags on my flight to Baton Rouge? Sadly I have to fly back thru Atlanta on my way to DC for my weekend meetings, not very optimistic.

    No it reduces the down pressure on my spine. I have bad discs. The saddle allows me to lean out and with a added back strap supports my leaning back. When sitting in the saddle I can adjust the angle of that sit.

    I don't see ISP knocking on doors goin over to good is what I meant. Lots of lawsuits, legit or not, and a compliance issue all together. The local department's along with state's attorney have stated several times they wouldn't prosecute awb's and few other gun laws that have been on table. Can't remember now other ones, but ccw was one also before it passed. And that the system they have now isn't very effective new laws aren't goin to change that. It was 4 or 5 months after the fact that I ever got anything saying mine was revoked. And I'm pretty positive had I not tried buying something ot woulda never happened. Which was also odd seeing as that was second purchase I made in month or so. First one went through second didn't.

    What’s scary is it’s just going to get worse in Illinois.
    I used to think just how much worse can it possibly get and what other crap will they come up with
    The answer I’m afraid is A LOT

    I'm not saying what will happen, only what they see and wamt to happen.

    If passed it becomes law and I'll comply to an extent to where I am not jeopardized.

    Other than that they can piss up a rope and wonder what is keeping them hydrated as they climb it.

    I'm a pessimistic opportunist.

    I know the elected officials to this state are so delusional and inept to hold their jobs that they will overstep boundaries in order to do such. There are certain bills I actually wish would pass, but those even come with the fear of being held up.

    Very serious note,

    I fear what he has passed or implemented that will keep his reign on IL regardless of whether he is in office or alive.


    Trust me, slimeballs of IL will not die with that cancer.

    She is just living her truth VS... My sister in law is the same way, she posts the dumbest crap with the absolute dumbest quotes and puts this fake persona out there like she has all her crap together better than anyone else. Couldn't be farther from the truth. And yes, she has actually used the term living my truth. But whataya know, she is a yoga instructor, doula and a SJW. A real rebel without a clue with a hipster husband, whoops I mean forever boyfriend. They also have some hang up with marriage..

    I still haven't gotten a single camera or mineral site out yet this year because all of the rain (maybe it's a blessing I didn't get them out early)... I'm going to need to carry the buckets 1/2+ mile just to get to the areas, and then hope that the water isn't so high that I can actually put the minerals down.

    Regarding the share all mentality of social media and today's society, Rob Zombie said it better than I ever could: Not everything is everybody's business.

    yeah, they're awful this year. Dogs keep bringing them into the house; and I can't spray the lawn b/c it rains every other damn day and would just be a waste. I need 2-3 days straight of no rain.

    Heard on the news last night; 78% of days in April and May have had measurable rain. I knew it was bad but not that bad. Something like only 25% of fields are planted in IL compared to this time last year; and least year was fairly wet IIRC.

    "living your truth" really just means you are living a fantasy.
