Comment Where do they get my number in the first place? (Score 1) 216

I'm curious as to where they get my number in the first place. Are the calls just randomly generated to call any ten digits? Or does some company I'm affiliated with sell my info?

Either way, phone rings there's only two people I answer to. The rest goes to VM. I for one wish there wasn't such a need for a phone.

The Second Amendment is a stupid anachronism. It needs gutting.

There is no longer a need for a militia - the USA has a nice big standing army with which to defend itself and it has much better weapons than assault rifles, like aircraft, helicopters and tanks. And if you want to claim you need guns to defend yourself against the US Government, well it has a nice big standing army with aircraft, helicopters and tanks. How long do you think the militia with the weapons it is legally allowed to own is going to last against the US military?

Get the fuck out of my country. Someone threatens my property, my life, or my loved ones I will do whatever it takes to be sure all is safe. You want the government to watch out for you? Call 911 and see what the response time is. I can assure you, when they arrive they'll be taking pictures of you and your dead family. I'll dial 911 AFTER I've taken care of the situation.

Just because we can't fix all the problems at once, doesn't mean we shouldn't try and help with the ones we can.

I think a good place to start is the problems that exist within our own borders. Once we got those figured out, King O and start working on policing the world.
