I forget, is Drew for mandatory background checks in every state (private sales)? I think that's a pretty basic litmus test for whether you accept common sense gun regulations or not.

I'm not naive to think, "one size fits all" of course but it someone really, really wants it they can make it happen.
That said why would you want to? How many people that really want to leave have actually lived and worked outside the US for more than 3 consecutive months and did so with all of the above attached? The US is not perfect but I've yet to find a place that is. My wife and I are fairly certain that when we retire we will split our time between the US and Thailand but it's not because we hate it back home.
As for all the ugly American rhetoric tossed around here (not necessarily from you) have those that insist it's an apt stereotype ever hung out with an Italian, German or Russian in Koh Samui? A North Korean in Manila? A Brit in Naples? A Mexican in Uruguay? How about an Aussie or Brit in Bahrain or South Africa? Ugly American isn't half of it.
As for the 1 ugly American we can all appreciate:
President Nixon asked the Department of Justice if he could pardon himself. They said no, as no one may be the judge in their own case. He resigned three days later.

Re: POTUS 45.34: Spy Gate. No Spy. No Gate.
Anecdotally friends of ours did an expat assignment in Paris for several years. Great for us because we got to visit and stay for free at their chalet out near Versailles. However, young kids did have a tough time adjusting and they ended up coming back after a few years.Legally drunk???? If its "legal", what's the ------- problem?!? - George Carlin

I don't think Chump wins a "I can do whatever I want whenever I please" argument. Best he can do is run out the clock until he's mercifully defeated for re-election or committed to the insane asylum.Legally drunk???? If its "legal", what's the ------- problem?!? - George Carlin

I'm more appalled about how Trump is spinning this into a "patriotic" rally. The perversion of how a silent "protest" (moreso just an awareness) about the injustice and inequality for minorities has turned into a bare chested masturbation during the playing of the National Anthem, and if you won't join the circle jerk during the trumpet playing, then GET OFF MY LAWN!Last edited by aparch; 06-04-2018, 06:44 PM.“Demolish the bridges behind you… then there is no choice but to build again.”
