The bad (typically gun related) things happening in America thread

And the old boy sang, bye, bye, Miss American Pie, took my klashie to the basey and let the bullets fly. Good old kids running around for their lives. Singing this will be the day that I die. Oh, this will be the day that I die. :(

Oof. Going to be your neighbor to the North in a month or so, so hooray to be back in the South! I wonder if my HOA fees will cover kevlar?

Now now. You know the south is basically a giant version of Chicago. Some places are amazing and beautiful and completely safe… and some places should come with a license to employ PMC’s.

This post deserves more attention. Not bad.

true words. Same in WI to be fair. The rural areas remind me of north Alabama.
Really looking forward to being back down there if for no other reason than the food.

@Carolina Red, hope the wife is doing well.

It is insane and completely about greed. A decade ago I woke up with an immense pain in my lower back. Wife was out of town so I drove myself to my GP (pro tip, if you choose a GP who works out of an urgent care facility, and they have kind admin people, you can get Urgent Care visits billed as GP visit). An x-ray show a possible mass on my spine but an MRI was needed to complete the diagnosis. I sat in my car, wracked in pain and freaked out about the big C word, for 30 minutes searching to find an in network MRI place. Found one at UAB hospital for the negotiated price of $1500 (all out of my deductible, but "list was $2800). Spent another 30 minutes searching and finally found a single for profit MRI place across town that had a final negotiated price of FREE after some weird rebate shit. Ended up being a really bad herniated disc, which was "good", but it also ended my footy playing days.

Anyways, all of this is contrasted to my dog. Yes, my dog. A month later she also herniated a disc (like dog like owner I guess). Likewise she was first diagnosed by x-ray and then confirmed by MRI. The MRI machine was in the middle of a medical clinic where one half was a human clinic and the other a vet. The humans used the machine in the morning and the pets in the afternoon. She then had surgery to fuse the disc. This surgery required a vet neurosurgeon (also the head of the vet school), the attending vet surgeon, an anesthesiologist, and 4 vet students acting as nurses. She then had 2 nights of post up care and months of medication. Total cost of ALL of that? $2750.

If someone was able to get ahold of his browser history I guarantee it would make even his most hated books blush.

would be a real shame if anonymous “found” it.

I've read that one too but it has never influenced me to be like him. I guess it's all based on interpretation.

It stuns (it really shouldn't by now) me how so many christians will scream Jesus all over the place but at the same time ignore his teaching in the New Testament and cherry pick shit from the Old.

I've never understood some people's obsession with cars in general. The thought of dumping $10,000's of thousands into rims/upgrades/sound systems/etc. baffles me.

When I was a teenager I enjoyed that kinda stuff. Once I hit my early 20s I basically grew out of that phase… too much wasted money for it to just get ruined by any idiot on the road.

I get that. I had friends with sweet rides in HS and college. I was driving a 10yo corolla and just hoping it would hold on long enough each day to get to/from school and work :lol:.
