They can’t just quit. They’re under a signed contract, which can be penalized with jail time if breached. Refusing orders is also not as simple as it sounds. Each soldier has a duty to refuse an unlawful order. However, if you disobey a direct order, and it is later determined to have been a lawful one, you will now be punished for failing to obey orders, might be a slap on the wrist, might be a dishonorable discharge, or could even be a court martial with jail time.
Same. I can’t wear shoes without socks, and I can’t wear socks without shoes. It’s a both or neither situation.
Street racers aren’t just criminals, they’re also extremely selfish people who put their “hobby” above the safety and well-being of the general public.
If you want to race a car, go find a track.
Did I read that article correctly that they accidentally did it on purpose?
Claims it was cut down in error, then a few paragraphs later talks about how it was removed because it was obstructing train drivers view of signal signs.
Yup, black bears are lower risks than browns, and attacks rarely end with fatalities. That doesn’t mean I wanna fistfight a bear because it felt like starting something while I’m alone in the woods miles from help.
Yes and no. They’re not as large or aggressive as a grizzle bear, but they’re absolutely still bears. I’ve had encounters where one walked right up into my camp and stole my dinner completely undeterred by me or any noise I made. I’ve also been stalked through the woods by a lone thin looking bear, probably looking for an opportunity to get the drop on me… and then there’s the mama bears. I don’t go out in the woods without bear mace and a heavy caliber handgun with bear loads, better safe than food.
After thought: I also have bear bells that announce my presence as I walk, and more often than not, that will be enough to scare off any in the area so my encounters are rare and spread out over years… still would rather be safe.
America doesn’t have insane gun laws. We have outdated gun laws that are in need of some common sense reforms, which is a monumentally difficult task due to gun ownership being baked into our country from the founding. The only way to change this is through a constitutional amendment, which would need to be approved by 38 or more states, and more than half our lands are still mostly undeveloped rural areas where guns are very much still a necessity to live there.
The world is not like the US period. What works for the world won’t necessarily work for America.
Switzerland has 28 privately owned guns for every 100 residents.
America has 120 privately owned guns for every 100 residents.
Please explain how 28 is more than 120? Must be counting with that metric system I’m to American to understand.
I’m no expert on the subject, but if I were to venture a gues as to why that is, I’d probably point to Switzerland’s population being just 9 million while America’s is over 340 million as a starting point.
I’m not trying to justify any gun deaths, especially of children, because I hunt. Those are your words, and I’d thank you to not put them in my mouth. What I said is there’s still parts of this country that people need guns for food and protection from dangerous animals.
Believe it or not, there are some of us out here in the woods that still rely on firearms as a part of our daily lives to both put food on the table and protect against dangerous animals in the area (mainly black bears around me).
At this point, I would be shocked if the far-right responded with anything but calls for violence.
My grandpa always used to say, “aging ain’t for whimps.” Never really understood him until more recently as I age.
Nacho or cool ranch?
Guess it’s time for an impulsive road trip since the other sources don’t appear to be working currently.
Noting like dropping bombs while professing a desire for peace.
I agree with you… but
I’ve wanted to learn the guitar my entire life, but I can’t just start slow and easy with some chords, I keep going all in trying to learn classical guitar simultaneously with music theory because chords seem too simple and I hate myself… I didn’t mention the research phase where I learned all about the origin of the instrument and its importance through history.
It can get worse after school because not having a schedule imposed on you means you’re left to your own devices and will often focus too much energy towards the wrong endeavors. Building a routine of healthy habits and sticking to it can make a world of difference.
I’m not sure Trump has the authority to investigate Springsteen. Bruce is The Boss, after all.
I mean, if they want a month long reminder that they’re a bunch of losers, I guess I’m ok with that.
What an obnoxious whiny little bitch… goes and starts a trade war for no reason, and then loses.
Sure, genocide is bad, but why not start a second front so we can get it done sooner.
