I repeat it, sir, we must fight! An appeal to arms and to the God of Hosts is all that is left us! Gentlemen may cry, "Peace! Peace!" -- but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle?" 2011-11-10 11:35:09 Permalink

Etz Posts: 13889 Incept: 2007-06-26 LA	Police last year said that 618 kidnappings were reported in 2009, and the numbers have grown rapidly in recent years. It is a known fact that most kidnappers are or have been local police officers. Most kidnappings go unreported. ---------- Legal chicanery and beneficent darkness are the banker's stoutest allies - F.Pecora. 2011-11-10 12:32:34 Permalink
Striker754 Posts: 671 Incept: 2009-07-09	So what if he's a citizen there? You are still asking for trouble going to live in a 3rd world country if you are rich. The chances for extortion and kidnapping are extremely high. 2011-11-11 08:17:56 Permalink

The chances for extortion and kidnapping are extremely high. That's why it's so great that we're importing so many second/third world people here. We're already getting the complimentary kidnappings, gangs, drunk driving, murders, and now the Obama admin is allowing foreign truckers on the roads, too. Happy days.

Hey, it ain't my fault if they're more prone to doing those things. Take it up with your maker or whomever, if you believe if one. ---------- "Shut up.
