    Nah, those are shell casings as we shoot at signs going down the road. 1 honk for a hit, two honks for a miss.

    Then stop using semi-automatics. They leave evidence behind. ;)

    I witnessed some off these scumbags doing that behind their truck in parking spots or opening drivers door and peeing in lot. I’d there a reason they can’t walk 100 feet to the bathroom. They deserve to face indecent exposure charges

    When I started in the mid-1990s driving behind a backing truck would get you a a free knuckle sandwich. Now, the trucks driving behind the backing truck are the ones blowing the horn mad that the backing truck won't stop for him. smh

    I was doing frequent TN to CA turns in the mid-1990s, so seeing Indian and Sikh drivers is nothing new to me. But it was last year the first time I saw some of these "diverse" drivers pouring out a gallon-size P jug AT THE FUEL ISLAND. If you want to know why your shoes are sticky after walking around the fuel pumps, that's why. smdh

    There is NO EXCUSE for being a filthy animal. Some of you CHOOSE to be filthy animals. 10 seconds of advance preparation and planning and you will never ever have to dump your filth on the ground like some refugee stuck in a cattle car.

    As you add diversity the culture gets more balkanized. One group practices their habits and another culture practices their habits. There is a reason not every country is the same as every other country, for better or worse. ANYONE can become as upstanding and successful as anyone else IF THEY PRACTICE SUCCESSFUL HABITS. When you get a critical number of "permanent visitors" you find they have enough numbers they can hold onto the culture of their past home. If you bring in very small numbers of the same people or the same number but over a much longer time the same people in that group will adopt the current practices of our culture. The people in favor of large numbers of foreigners don't value our culture and don't care what happens to it.
