xmusicman92x reacted to Mikofiticus in Homeless man shot by LAPDI didn't want to weigh in on this, but this is the most ignorant way of thinking about this, and people need to stop this thinking.
Have you ever gone shooting? Do you know how hard it is to aim at a small target like a leg or a foot? Especially if it's moving? Not impossible, but so unbelievably unlikely. Cops are trained for two things, aim for center mass, that's the most square area for your bullets to hit. You have adrenaline pumping through your body, you won't be able to hit shit. You're panicking because your life is in danger. I'd like to see someone under that kind of duress be able to actually hit something. Even that close. And the other point is, the police (at least in the states) is trained to keep firing until the subject is down. Neutralize the threat, stop the subject from doing any more harm. It's sad that that usually kills the person, but you have to stop any potential situation from escalating any more than it already has. Any chance of just hitting him in the leg is not an option, just because he's shot once, doesn't mean he'll stop. There's plenty of officer's videos that prove that.
As for the need for 5+ officers for one guy, it's usually due to drugs. Not saying he was on them or not, we don't know, but there are plenty of videos showing how even 10 cops can't subdue a subject who's on PCP. That stuff is ridiculous. I've seen footage they showed us in cadets of a subject who broke a pair of handcuffs that the officer placed on him. That's insane. The paramedics found out that he broke both his wrists and dislocated his arms doing so. Did he feel it? Nope. Got pepper sprayed and tazered. Did that do anything? Nope. PCP is one hell of a drug.

xmusicman92x reacted to XBR410 in Terrorist Attack on School in PakistanThis isn't about bashing islam, its about bashing Crazy Nuts with no regard for Human Life, there are tons of good Muslims, like for example most of the families of these Children who were killed by these Idiots. And Since you would like to bring up this whole Muslim Bashing thing, I For One think Religion (As A Whole) Causes More Trouble than its worth. I'll leave it at that I Respect People Who Believe in Religion, But I Don't Respect Religion itself, And I Won't Until I See the Peace that Most of these Religions Promise..
Back on to the Topic of the Attack itself, The Afghan Taliban issued a Statement Condemning the Attack on the School, even though they are Responsible for a Suicide Bombing at a School Play About a Week Ago..

Executive action on immigration. What does that mean exactly?
It's a way for the president to make a major change to immigration policy without consulting Congress, and this one could ease the fears of many undocumented immigrants … for now.
In an announcement on Thursday, President Obama unveiled a reform plan that will allow 5 million undocumented immigrants to stay in the United States without having to worry about getting deported.
http://news.yahoo.com/katie-couric-now-i-get-it-immigration-135012408.html
===================================================================================================================== LISTED BELOW are several of the arguments that have been used by misguided people to try and justify illegal immigration. Next to each is the reason why that argument has no merit. They are an economic necessity - Not true. The idea that a bunch of desperately poor, uneducated, unskilled, non-English speaking foreigners are an economic necessity is ludicrous. In fact, when you compare cost vs. benefit, it is obvious that they are not only NOT a necessity, they are not even an asset. Rather, they are a liability and a huge one at that. They do work Americans won’t do - Not true. They do work Americans won’t do for $7 an hour (especially if Americans can collect welfare and unemployment instead). Of course, if you got rid of the illegals, the jobs wouldn’t pay $7 an hour. The people who wanted the work done would have to pay a wage that was attractive enough to get Americans to do the work. And it might even be enough to get Americans off the unemployment and welfare dole and back into the taxpaying workforce! We benefit from all that “cheap” labor - This is nonsense. The only people who benefit from the cheap labor are the unscrupulous people who hire illegal immigrants. Taxpayers are left holding the bag. Ultimately, it is they who must pay to support all the Americans who have been put out of work by illegals and must also provide billions of dollars in services and benefits to the illegals themselves. They are just trying to make better lives - Aren’t we all? The difference is that most of us understand that we DO NOT have a right to acquire by illegal means those things that we find difficult to acquire by legal means. And we certainly don’t have the right to do it in a foreign country. It is impossible to round up and deport the illegals - We don’t have to. All we have to do is remove the incentives that brought them here in the first place. No jobs. No housing. No taxpayer financed services or benefits (including education). Once we remove the incentives that brought them here, they will leave on their own. Immigration control is racist / xenophobic - This is just another play of the race card by people who have no other cards to play. Immigration control is the world-wide status quo. There is nothing racist about it. Furthermore, the USA welcomes LEGAL immigrants of all races and ethnicities from all over the world who have gone through the legal immigration process. This is not just a bad argument, it is an attempt to create racial hatred and division. We are a nation of immigrants - This is the “BIG LIE”. The vast majority of Americans are native-born. I am not an immigrant. Nor were my parents. Nor were my grandparents. We are a nation that has, historically, allowed and even encouraged LEGAL immigration. And we continue to do so. The issue at hand is illegal immigration, which has nothing to do with legal immigration. They are people. We must treat them humanely - Yes & yes. But lets not pretend like they are victims who were dragged here kicking and screaming against their will. Nothing could be further from the truth. They came of their own free will and for their own benefit and they broke the law to do it. PEOPLE SHOULD NOT BE REWARDED FOR BREAKING LAWS AND COMMITTING CRIMES. SENDING THEM HOME IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO. There is nothing “draconian” or “mean-spirited” about it. It is wrong to break up families - Yes. Unfortunately, families are often broken up by criminal activity. If you don’t believe it, just drop by any prison or jail on visiting day. We can’t keep families together if some family members choose to participate in criminal activity. They work & contribute to our society - So do I. And if I break the law and commit crimes, I can expect to pay a penalty of some kind. Anything from a small fine to the death penalty. I do not receive a reward. WHY SHOULD WE TREAT FOREIGN CRIMINALS BETTER THAN OUR OWN CITIZENS? -

xmusicman92x got a reaction from Rocking_Star101 in Are You Religious, Or Non-Religious?I'm agnostic leaning more toward atheist, but I don't have all the answers and think there's at least the possibility there could be a god out there.
My reasoning is this, through various events in my life I have found it hard to believe that God, I was brought up Catholic, would allow these things to happen to good people. As I got older and continued to take a hard look at the world I live in I find it unlikely God exists. So I suppose I can sum it up with a good helping of cynicism from Saving Private Ryan when Tom Hanks says something to the effect of "I took a good hard look around and realized God left this place a long time ago." I also prefer the thinking behind scientific theories and the like as opposed to it was "God's will" or something to that effect.
However, I have absolutely nothing against religious people and completely respect their decision to be religious. It's even better when the religious people can respect my point of view.

Not sure if it is just me, when I press E and check the officer in the officer down call, I get loads of LCPDFR Unexpected Errors, and they just keep making that "ding" sound. My character just remains squatting... Not sure why this happens.

xmusicman92x reacted to DivineHustle in Gay Marriage Now Legal in Indiana, Utah, Wisconsin, Oklahoma and VirginiaI say that homosexuality is wrong, but I don't believe that my views and opinions should be forced on the public. I'm a Christian and according to what I believe in, being gay is wrong. Don't try to convince me otherwise, I don't care what anyone says. Nobody will ever change my opinion of same-sex marriage. Call me ignorant, dumb, incompetent, stubborn, I don't care. My opinion won't change, regardless of what anyone says. So I'm making this as a general statement, please don't try to start an argument with me about whether or not gay marriage is right or wrong. It won't get anywhere.
As I've already said, I'm a Christian. In our religion, God says to love all of his children (All people) and treat them the way that you would want to be treated. Like I've said, I don't agree with homosexuality, but I disagree that my opinion should be forced on society. Who am I to tell someone that they can't marry the same sex? Why is that my business? Why do I care about what you do?
