How did we get from paying someone a compliment to smacking them on the tush?

I had the female next door come to MY house asking for help after they got in a big fight. Her face was swollen, arms bruised, etc... Of course I let her in and called the cops. Dumb a$$ comes knocking on my door demanding I "release" his wife. When I opened the door to talk to him (he was banging on my door pretty hard), he tried to force himself in. I'm bigger, he didn't succeed. and the cops showed up before I had to beat him down.
So... yes.... I WOULD go over. I would NOT, however, consider it "interference". If I'm right and someone is being abused, it is a "rescue". If I'm wrong and nobody is being abused, it's an "embarrassment". If I do nothing ( And that includes time spent waiting for the cops to show), and someone gets seriously hurt, then I'm just as guilty as the offender.

Everytime I see, or hear that, I think someone should be shot.

The fries issue is easy. Just ask for your fries to be UNSALTED. Since they salt them as soon as they come out, that means you'll get a fresh batch. Then, get the little packet of salt and salt it yourself if you want.
Do it all the time, 'cause the wife really enjoys their fries... when they are fresh.

Well, she certainly didn't "resist". You could see PLENTY of opportunity for her to knock his dumb a$$ off the roof in the news footage.
Dude, you sit next to the edge of the roof with me up there like that, turned away from me... I"m booting ya.

Japanese law might put the fault on the driver most of the time, but the "Law of Gross Tonnage" will ALWAYS make the pedestrian the true loser. Vehicle's can't stop on a dime, and swerving INTO traffic isn't much of a better option. Walkers, bikers, etc... they may have the right of way, but that is very little comfort if they exercise it to the point of recklessness and get hit.

Incorrect... partially. All sales, even those at gun-shows or online, completed by registered firearms dealers STILL have a background check requirement. Only private sales such as individual to individual don't currently require one. They continue to make it sound like ALL gun-show sales are exempt, when the vast majority of gun-show sales DO require a background check.
And us "gun-nuts" are NOT against background checks, even expanded ones. We are against the records of that transaction being kept (they are currently destroyed) or anything that would lead to a "registry" of who owns guns (insurance, ammo records, etc...).
What makes it worse is that none of these "laws" being considered would have stopped anything that has happened, nor will they in the future. Criminals aren't liable to follow the law any-damn-way.

INITIAL strike would be a no-no, but a follow-on would seem rather "defensive", don't you think?

Anything to do with the "come back 3 or 4 times for one procedure" theory of dentistry that seems to be common in Japan?

Not quite entirely true. Boot camp beats you down so they can build you back up into their vision of acceptable.
Of course, you might be on to something. They just did away with the CPO initiation for basically this reason.

If he REALLY wants to "share sacrifice", he should remember that those cuts are resulting in a TWENTY percent loss in pay for those federal workers over that 14 week period. Not FIVE.... TWENTY.
I guess he only needs to feel 25% of the pain.
