“I predict future happiness for Americans, if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.” - Thomas Jefferson
“Silent acquiescence in the face of tyranny is no better than outright agreement." - C.J. Redwine
“The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles." - Jeff Cooper

They're hoping soon, my kind will drop and die
But I'm going to wave my freak flag high

The reason I refuse to use video for this call is that unless it's people I know I'd be really worried about like showing things I don't know are there. Besides, I'll be with my whole family and you don't show people who don't give consent on video. I'll definitely be there on audio though.

That is what I've settled on as well.

is thisgoing on everyday for april?
I am Center-Left Libertarian. (-3,-3) on the Political Compass. My friends call me Whiskey cause I was named after a bottle of Jack Daniel's.

I've been drowning myself in work, I just started Culinary School, and I recently got called a Boot Licker for thanking a veteran for their service. I'm sad that I have to witness the part of history where supporting Cops and Troops is seen and a radical ideology.

And then one day you look in the mirror and you realize that you ain't you anymore. You're just another monster, and thanks to your actions, someone else will eventually become as warped and twisted as you. Never forget that the best of us are just the best of a bad lot.

We use to do in person meet ups. I went to one and missed out on the second one because I had to work. Turned out I lived on the same tiny island as a mod at the time. She was cool, I wish we could have hung out more.

I'll probably forget about this by the time it happens and sleep through it. Also, I'm not much for day drinking and this hits me at 1pm.

"Who are these friends'? Where do you know them from? How long have you known each other? You don't even know their name? Do you know these people can be child smugglers, kidnappers, etc?"

I remember that song from when it was a hit.
But that's not the best coincidence, it's this: yesterday and today I've had ads for a brand of toilet called Toto!

Why? Being in the virtual presence of drinkers isn't (afaik) illegal anywhere. It's not like being in a bar (drinking or not, forbidden).

The host is in the US, would it therefore follow that no-one under 21 should attend? That would rule out 18-20 year olds who can legally drink in their own countries.

It's not for you and I to decide, and the host is conveniently a lawyer. But that's just my take.
I report offenses if and only if they are crimes.
