Everyone's pissing off to Texas

Syl · FIRM BUT FAIR.

Maddog posted a good link the other day on NF...comparing house and rent prices, cost of living, wages etc from one place to another.
He posted Dallas v Manchester as an example....very interesting, Dallas came out of it very well.

California lost population for the first time last year...

It feels like the whole planet has picked up and moved here. Small cities that were 5000 people 30 years ago are now 100,000. It is starting to strain our infrastructure. You have to provide roads, water and electricity to all these new people.

My business does better when folks move here, but I often forget that while trying to negotiate all of the traffic. I probably spend an extra hour a day in the car because if it.

And we have taxes, just not an income tax.

Yeah, that's how we feel in the UK. Only we are tiny compared to Texas.

Syl · FIRM BUT FAIR.

No ones pissing off to Bolton that's for sure.
The government are coming under fire for advising people to stay away....but seriously, isn't it just common sense to stay away from an area that's having a huge surge of the virus?

They won't stay put. And it will spread.

Remember the exodus out of London the day before the lockdown came official....just when the Kent virus was beginning to cause concern?

Yeah, so bloody selfish.

Talking of Texas - anyone over 21 with no licence, training or background checks carry now carry a concealed weapon.

Jesus Christ - what could possibly go wrong?

Like plenty of other states.

How's the carnage in New Hampshite which has the same laws?

This is where the US and the UK truly differ.

I simply cant imagine walking around in a town or city where everyone is armed especially if it is concealed MD.

There seems to be a mass shooting in the states every week where it is incredibly rare in the rest of the Western world.

We will just have to agree to disagree.

Very few people are armed.

We have 350 million people. Sometime one of those people goes off the rails.

Sometimes a woman blows the fucking head off her attacker.

How often does that happen in the Western world?

Don't want to carry a weapon?

Then don't. See how easy that is?

Yes, we will have to disagree because I live my life by a pretty simple concept.

"Leave people alone and mind your own damn business".

"A woman was inside the home with her 8-year-old son and heard a noise downstairs, according to Sugar Land police. When she went to check on the noise, she saw a man trying to get into her home through a window, police said. The woman fired a gun once, hitting the suspect in the chest. He's been identified as 21-year-old Santana Hudson. He has a warrant out for his arrest with the Houston Police Department for burglary of a vehicle in 2018.

He ran away from the home and left a trail of blood before officers were able to find him in a neighbor's yard."

This guy pissed off to the hospital.

I'm OK with the fact that this happens daily in the US and fairly often in TX..

As I say it's the main difference between the US and the UK, the cultural attitude to gun ownership especially in your neck of the woods.

Don't forget MD even the vast majority of our coppers are not armed - only the (very) highly trained Firearms Units.

It's that way between much of California and Texas.

And yet they keep coming.

Heck, you should visit Chicago. They have gun laws much like yours.

And I don't give a shit what someone's culture is, as long as it doesn't involve trying to control me.
