I guess I use to drive 400-500 hours a year. I'm still here. If being shot at 400-500 hours a year. I don't think I would be here.

I guess it really all depends on who is doing the shooting.

That's true. But when you get killed in a car they call it an "accident."

Wow ! The Chicago Tribune site now reports that as of 1:30 PM today there have been over 40 shootings in Chicago this weekend .

I think that this is outside of any number anyone has chosen in the pool .

And, yet again the 'Black Lives Matter' crowd is conspicuously absent - what a surprise.

Ok so are you one of those 30 to 40 something guys who are on parole and living with your aged Mother on the far North end of the Villages ?


Not even close. You failed to make an excuse for the Sheriff they arrested. How about the ignorant cops who recently arrested a woman with a medical emergency (RX interaction) as opposed to getting her to a hospital? Have an excuse for them? I know, the cops who like to harass golf carts for not coming to a total stop near Sumpters Landing? How about the fact that MOST cops can not pass a narcotics drug test due to "pain killers" they take for "on the job" injuries?

Where I worked we invited the police to NOT go there. They would blatantly steal food from staff areas and walk around like they owned the place...all of them, idiots. Low self esteem, power mongering idiots.

Okay, go get your white hood ;) Black lives only matter when they risk not getting something for nothing...oddly, they cant pay rent but they can afford custom Tee-Shirts when one of their brethren is gunned down.

Make sure that you tell them how you feel next time you need one. You are a prize piece of work, to put it politely. Maybe once a stop sign violator almost takes you out, you will see the value of "COPs" writing tickets for running stop signs. I have a real surprise for the one that does that to me next time. And if you use you golf cart in The Villages very often, you will see offenders run stop signs on a daily basis. I am surprised there are not more accidents.

Thank goodness for those guys in "blue" that protect folks like you from folks that would otherwise have to enforce the law themselves. And you would not wish that to happen.

If you are here your position in life should have been on solid ground prior to the last 8 years. I am sure you were not "broke" 8 years ago and because of Obama you struck it rich since 2008. Most working citizens have not been that fortunate in the last 8 years. Just remember that "your" President stated about your life, great job, great house, 2 cars, and golf cart: "If you've got a business-you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen". So who made it happen for you?

2015 was no peach for investments.

In the past when I needed one (burglary), they were worthless, did nothing and I am the one who found some of my property at a pawn shop. Again, unless there are HUGE changes in law enforcement on a whole, they need not wonder why not many of us respect them.

Your analogy as to running stop signs in the villages - puleeze...(then again, I NEVER carry a driver license on my cart and rarely carry the Resident ID)...crime is RAMPANT and they are busy messing with people for tickets so they can fund their budgets.

Oh, and when the cops pilfer our lounge areas, steal our food and take anything down to a bath towel as their own...well, who do we call? The Sheriff who is in jail?

Could you be a little more specific about where they are stealing food from and other items ? What lounge ?

From the staff area where I work(ed) before moving to TV. More than once we invited the police to wait in...oddly...the WAITING AREA. But, they collectively think they are special. (But for State Police and US Marshals who were in every instance professional and respectful)..

Some of what I have seen them do to people, first hand is inexcusable. Then they "testi-lie" about it in court...I suppose everyone needs a laceration that oddly matches the profile of a flash light. Even more odd, the injuries are typically "falling down running"...yeah, sure.

What is super neat is when a cop, while "on the clock" OD's on heroin in the bathroom by radiology...none of us were shocked. Dont for a second think that body cameras will help even a little bit. Cameras in the cars did not help much either when you were on the wrong side of the badge of arrogance.

You paint with a pretty broad brush when it comes to police officers. Do you do that with blacks, gays, women and liberals as well?

Seems that the real problem is too many bad people in certain areas such as Chicago!

So lets spread them out?

The home front: So many people die annually from gunfire in the US that the death toll between 1968 and 2011 eclipses all wars ever fought by the country. According to research by Politifact, there were about 1.4 million firearm deaths in that period, compared with 1.2 million US deaths in every conflict from the War of Independence to Iraq.

1.3 million of them were minorities shooting minorities...so why do we care?

Just plain B.S.! You are a miserable person. Like I said before, your type wants police protection, but you want it with their hands tied behind their backs, and body cameras to look over their shoulders.
You hate the police the military and just about everyone out there. Apparently, your life has been miserable in totality. Your broken and I doubt you can be fixed.

Guest 05-30-2016 04:03 AM

Chicago has always been a blight on America. Even their pizza sucks. The weather sucks. And who cares how many of them kill each other? No one will miss them and they are no longer leaches on society. It's probably the safest city from terrorist attack in the U.S. Other than the White House with it's current Muslim resident.

Actually despite Bush's 8 years i've been good. i'm self employed and doing great, not millionaire great but politics/gov't doesn't influence my life greatly which is true for most Americans. Most working people's bottom lines aren't affected by the president, but their laziness does. Gov't in general doesn't change much of anything because the republicans block anything from happening including useful legislation that most Americans agree on. Good job republicans, way to move our country forward. You even got rid of your speaker because he was try to get both parties on same page to pass legislation. At least Obama is trying to accomplish things even if you don't agree with him

Unless if course you are in business for yourself and have MD or DO after your name (PCP). Then, what you do is NOT get paid for treating patients. Thusly, NOT see them as patients. You have them go to the ED where they are a burden to the rest of society while you fight ever lowering reimbursement rates from Insurance providers and laughable "loss leaders" on Medicare patients. Then, people can complain that they can not find a doctor who "takes their plan" while they bitch about co-pays.

Obama has DESTROYED healthcare in this country, even more so for the under-employed and those who would prefer to opt out of coverage (most people between 18-35). But, in some delusion those who are 18-35 will somehow pay for the care of those who are older and needing care...heck of a system, sure worked with Social Security.....

So the NRA and conservative party's constant push for guns in this country has nothing to do with increased access to guns and therefore gun violence?

Oh I have no problem with abortion especially if its a future racist, discriminatory, sheep of FOX news conservative that's being aborted.

Anyway I finished my coffee and am now bored. I'm going to go enjoy my horrible life that supposedly Obama has created according to conservatives. Oh no the horror of my life filled with sunny days, beautiful wife and kids, great job, great house, 2 cars and a golf cart, retirement funds growing and growing, I'm just so miserable......this country is so horrible and the last 8 years has destroyed my life.

Are you suggesting that the wonderful life you describe was somehow created by Obama? Nothing could be further from the truth. This Islamic/Communist is trying to take all this from you, he thinks you live too well compared to the parasites who are his constituency. He is determined to level the playing field. Please get your head out of your a$$

They get their information from TV, they're kept ignorant, it's not their fault.

The nation collapses in front of them, and they believe the lies on TV.

They don't realize that the economy is being kept alive by over a $ trillion in debt each year. They don't realize that the CD that used to pay 6% now pays 0.1% because the Fed lowered interest rates so the government can pay the $500 billion a year in interest payments. That's right, we borrow, create new debt, to pay the interest on the old debt. Yes, we're doing REAL well economically.

How about culturally? Socially? We've never been lower. We're going to be a 3rd world nation, speaking spanish, the next generation. We have 30 year at most before we're done.

Something to look forward to!

Think of the seediest part of cities...everywhere...as we diversify.

Guest 05-30-2016 08:25 AM

Maybe The Villages will create a new development to accommodate the 3rd world residents.

But seriously, how do you interact with the world with your fear of diversity and people speaking spanish, oh no!!!! Do you actually leave your house or just avoid the diversity of our world???

No, their aim is to mix them in with us. You'll have a section 8 "family" next door, across the street, more down the road. Because it's "not fair" that we get to live so well and after 150 years they can't.

That pretty much covers it...the last bastion of Norman Rockwell's America. Hopefully, the last place to diversify.

You fools are quickening our demise as a prosperous nation. Already minorities are the MAJORITY for everyone age 6 and under. Don't you realize what that means? Have you NO vision? Do you not see what happens EVERYWHERE they increase in numbers? It becomes 3rd world because that is ALL they are capable of. It's no accident that white people, not brown or black created "the west" and all it's advances. They didn't do it, they're not capable. That's why after over 550 years of freedom and 50 years of "equality", they've yet to improve. They're still hopelessly mired at the bottom.

Why do you think we're special and will survive the onslaught? The invasion.

I am a provider. You are simply ignorant to the reality. I imagine you are one of the people who also like to complain about providers from other countries.

Dont worry, "Treat 'em and Street 'em" is the game of the day. Dont for a second wonder why more and more companies are opting out of providing coverage for employees - and more so, why the carriers are no longer offering coverage to people.

Not a far cry from Canada. Just wait until the day that YOUR care is based on YOUR "RVU", and, if you as a person are worth the cost of the care as it relates to your potential earnings into the tax base. That is the cold hard reality. Chances are, if you are over 80...um....yeah, we just cant justify the cost of "procedure X". But, you are welcome to wait in line for the next available slot for "procedure Y" (much like Canada and European models of "care").

Just remember, health care is a privilege, NOT a right. Also remember, just because a Doctor "COULD" treat you does not mean he/she HAS to treat you.

Dont let the reality get into the way of your delusion. The fact is - this is mostly gangsta -vs- gangsta. On rare occasion there is collateral damage.

Pretty much the ghetto trash in Chicago is playing "New Orleans/Katrina" games. They are bad off so what are they to do? Destroy their own neighborhoods, kill their brethren and rape each others daughters. Rules of the jungle baby. :spoken:

The USA has always accepted diversity very well, but no country does well with a flood of millions entering their country illegally.
Yet some narrow minded people can't seem to see how that may effect a country negatively.

When my great grand parents came to the USA (at Ellis Island) they assimilated very well. The FIRST thing they learned to do was SPEAK ENGLISH and join society, work, work and work some more. There used to be shame (of sorts) in not speaking English. Now, we are supposed to change OUR ways to assimilate to Spanish? Um, NO.

You are obviously very young or not very knowledgeable,
if you are not aware the America has accepted
millions upon millions of legal immigrants from the distant past until the present day.
Probably far and away more than any other country.
And many of those legal immigrants spoke other languages!

Think about it. Why do you make your comments? Why be outrageous in a forum with a bunch of people over 55? You're pretty desperate for attention. Any kind of attention, even if it's negative. You call everyone else is a troll but you want to shock people and get them talking. Otherwise you would have ignored me. It's a substitute for a relationship.
