I had a neighbor call the police on me because they heard one firework, at 2PM on Christmas Eve.

Think about that.
This asshole called the cops on the father of two little kids, because at 2PM, in the middle of the fucking day, on Christmas Eve, he heard a firework.

Fuck that asshole.

Took the cop two weeks to get around to questioning me about it too. So I didn’t even know this weasel was trying to turn me in to the state until January 9th or so.

I, of course, had no idea what that human scrotum might have been talking about, especially weeks after the alleged incident, officer.
Case closed.

But fuck that guy.

It was me. I was out visiting my family in Seattle. I'm sorry, and in hindsight I wish it hadn't gotten to that, but I was fearing for my safety and thought I was about to die. I just want to put this behind us.

Where I live, people are shooting all the time. DB's neighbor would get PTSD here, and the deputies would laugh at him.

We're adding a new rule here, flying drones over someone elses property is going to be prohibited, also to be prohibited over public parks and school grounds, also prohibited to fly one within 100 yards of people, animals, cars or buildings at all times and in all places.

Federal law prohibits drones flying above 90 meters and within 9 kilometers of an airport, which is pretty much everywhere here, because the airport is within nine kilometers of everything.

Didn't you fly a drone into the girls bathroom?

Cracking down on them here too. Especially around prisons, too many cases of flying phones and drugs in to inmates.

We're also adding light trespass to the bylaw, previously you coudn't shine lights into peoples windows, now you're going to have to restrict light to your property, holiday lighting ie Christmas decorations is exempt.

Democratic republic.


The Soviet Union was technically a republic. When we refer to ourselves as a democracy, we are referring to the fact that we are a democratic republic; i.e. the democratic component of democratic republic.. When people make this retarded "but we're a republic not a democracy" meme, they confuse democracy with popular democracy. Athens was a popular democracy. Rome was a democratic republic (or more accurately, a representative democracy). Both were democracies.

They also don't seem to understand what the word republic means.

A republic (Latin: res publica) is a form of government in which the country is considered a "public matter", not the private concern or property of the rulers. The primary positions of power within a republic are not inherited, but are attained through elections expressing the consent of the governed. Such leadership positions are therefore expected to fairly represent the citizen body. It is a form of government under which the head of state is not a monarch.

Indeed, it's theoretically possible for a republic to use direct democracy instead of representative democracy, especially now with the state of communications networks and transportation networks. One could argue the entire reason for a representative democracy has been made moot by technology, and it now only serves as a tool for corruption and oligarchies.

Guess what bomb dropped today?

Those weren't real democracies. Real democracy has never been tried.

Guess what came next? Democratic collectivization for the minorities.

I just laughed.

I don't think that Real Democracy has never been attempted in a group larger than a tribe. The native Americans and Athenians were probably the closest thing to it.

Check your privileged white boy. That wasn't real democracy.
