NorthRaider Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 Anyway, brighter thoughts. Let's have a fun question: Be it due to weather, or strange terrain, or anything due to your location; who's house will be the most difficult for Santa to get to tonight? I can already say that it will NOT be me. I think Santa looks foreward to Georgia. We've never given him a hard time here. And at least here he doesn't have to worry about sleighjackings like he does in South Florida (I have a teacher who was a cop in South Florida, so I know the stories.) I'm pretty hopeful Santa won't have a difficult time visiting our place... bar the fact that very few houses here actually have chimneys and the weather here fluctuates wildly between searing summer heat (in December!) and gloomy, rainy days with gale-force winds. Blasted global warming! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minimadman Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 Santa had no problem getting to me here. It was 86 degrees here today. On a similar regional note did anyone else get a gun for Christmas. I got this it is a Glock 23 and is awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got Wii boxing gloves, monster slippers and books.

you_will_forget Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 I know, it just shows how different our countries are really. We don't even arm most of our police. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minimadman Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 I know, it just shows how different our countries are really. We don't even arm most of our police. I am in the process of a degree in criminal justice and I plan to be a police so I find that disturbing. I could not imagine law enforcement without a gun. Didn't Britain outlaw guns to cut down violent crime? I read something over the summer about a bunch of stabbings, it's like you can't win.

Guns are not outlawed in the UK although to own one you require a licence. Whilst many police officers in the UK carry firearms especially when on duty at 'sensitive' areas, airports etc., most do not. Many sad individuals in our country carry knives as weapons & in my life-time I have been threatened twice by such a dick-head, it is not the norm & very uncommon .

groundhog7s Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 This is where I live. It was interesting to find out the population was 97% white in 2000 because it has become much more diverse since then. We are much more diverse than where I grew up (99.15% white). I suppose that's what happens when you name a town 'Whitestown'. Here's how to get there. Things have changed a lot around here, but there's still an underlying sense of racism around here, but it's more toward Hispanics now than African-Americans. People suck sometimes.
