I can absolutely answer them.
I don't trust anything or anyone. I needed something machined. I bought a Bridgeport.
I needed something welded. I bought a Miller TIG welder.
I needed something turned, I bought a Hendey lathe.
I wanted to port and polish a race head for a car, I did it. I built a flow bench. I flow tested it.
I wanted to rebuild an engine, I did it. I outsourced the bore and hone but I have a set of telescoping micrometers and I was able to confirm the dimensions, roundness, and squareness to the deck.
How do I trust my measurements were good? Pre inspected the set master and double check the calibration on the tool.
I observe or have influence over these factors.
I didn't vote. I opted to follow George Carlin's idea:
Quote: Everybody complains about politicians. Everybody says, “They suck”.
But where do people think these politicians come from? They don’t fall out of the sky. They don’t pass through a membrane from another reality.
No, they come from American homes, American families, American schools, American churches, American businesses, and they’re elected by American voters.This is the best we can do, folks. It’s what our system produces: Garbage in, garbage out.
….I have solved this political dilemma in a very direct way: I don’t vote. On Election Day, I stay home. I firmly believe that if you vote, you have no right to complain.
Now, some people like to twist that around. They say, “If you don’t vote, you have no right to complain”, but where’s the logic in that? If you vote, and you elect dishonest, incompetent politicians, and they get into office and screw everything up, you are responsible for what they have done. You voted them in. You caused the problem. You have no right to complain.
I, on the other hand, who did not vote — who did not even leave the house on Election Day — am in no way responsible for that these politicians have done and have every right to complain about the mess that you created. That I didn’t have anything to do with.
So when you’re having one of those swell elections that you like so much…on that day I will be doing essentially the same as you…the only difference is when I get done masturbating I’ll have a little something to show for it.
I don't trust the police one bit.
My 9mm Hydroshoks are 1496 FPS. When my dog alerted my neighbor that the house across the street was being broken into, it took the police 45 minutes to respond.
When my friend, in the same town, had a brick thrown through her front window, it took the police over an hour to respond even though the station is a 5 minute drive at normal speeds.
In both instances, the suspect had fled long before the police responded to the scene.
One night, I had 4 or 5 guys getting rowdy in my street at 3AM. Pounding nip bottles, discarding them in lawns and in the streets. One urinated in my front yard. I called the police. They were no where to be seen.
I was working pizza delivery in my youth. I had a bunch of town maps in my car and worked late hours. I got pulled over. I was questioned why I was out late, why I had the maps. The officer said I had a license plate light out. I asked if I could see it. He said yes. I opened the door and he slammed the door on my foot with his hand on his sidearm and yelled to stay in the vehicle.
I explained that I just asked him if I could see it and that he gave me his consent. He suggested I check it at home on my own time, and get out of here.
Guess what I didn't need to buy the next day? A license plate light. Because it worked fine.
Someone backed into my girlfriends car. The officer on the scene was someone who went to high school with my girlfriend. He let his guard down and started talking to us casually. He said if he ever sees a suspicious car and wants to pull them over, he just tells them they have a marker light out. He added that people are stupid and don't even question what that is.
I witnessed these events first hand. Are you going to tell me I'm wrong?
A person is smart. People are stupid.
I could always review court records for myself, if I cared. Public records. Nothing to hide.
I will assume you ride a motorcycle. That should be evidence enough that you can't trust anyone else on the road.
Based on all my observations of her I have arrived at the conclusion that she is fishy.
