Potato summed up the crime situation pretty well. For the most part it happens where you would expect it to. Do be where you shouldn't at times you shouldn't be there and you shouldn't have any issues. One thing I really like about living here is most of the neighborhoods are in subdivisions with cute names like "the hunt club" or "Quakers run" and so on. There's only one or two ways in so there's no through traffic. If you are in there its because you live there or are visiting someone who lives there. Otherwise you don't belong there and you'll stick out. Unless you're a social recluse you'll get to know your neighbors and hopefully make some good friends. Another thing I like is all the homes in the subdivision are similarly priced, so everyone should be on the same financial/social scale. Are you looking to rent or buy? If you can give us an idea of what you expect your household income to be some of us could probably recommend neighborhoods for you to look. We don't have fleas down here, we have tics. Not sure if that's better or worse, but that's what we have.

Yes, I know it. It's no Broadway, but it don't suck.

You answered your own question as well as I could have. It's that simple. Buffalo fans care that much about hockey that they'll pay the price. It's $30. Who gives a . If that's going to break you, maybe you shouldn't be there. If that $30 is enough to keep you out, I'm happy, you're probably not someone I want sitting next to me.

Why is it bush league for a business to make money? Why do you(the collective you, not you specifically) feel entitled?

I work in Hendersonville and live down the road in Clarksville. If you have friends in the area I would imagine there isn't a whole lot you can get from us that you can't get from them... I'm familiar with the builders and framing crews in the middle Tennessee area. As with anything, some are better than others. A common practice is to inflate the lumber estimate, have the lumber company pick up the excess lumber for a credit but not pass that credit onto the customer. The difference often reaches five figures. Most framing crews are made up of illegal immigrants, if having an American crew is important to you there are very few of them. If you plan on having a home built I can advise you. Lacrosse is not big here, if one of your kids play let me know when you get settled and I can put you in touch with a coach in your area. Same with rugby. The best aquarium I've ever been to is in Newport, KY, just south of Cincinatti, 4-4 1/2 hours away depending on where you settle. Definitely a must for the kids. Tornadoes are not an issue where we are. I've lived here since 04 and I think I've heard the siren go off three times with nothing actually touching down. Of course I was deployed to other parts of the world about half the time so that may not be completely accurate. I'll check with the wife but I would think if a tornado hit the area while I was gone she would have told me. Preds season tix are insanely cheap. If you decide you're interested I get 25% off. If you want to split a season or a half season I can help pair you with someone. Many lakes around here. You can swim seven months out of the year and boat 9-10 months. If you don't have a boat, get one. Day one - get season passes to Nashville Shores. Many great places for brunch, my favorite is Stoney River. Nashville has a great night life and great food.

I agree with everything you said. Glad to see you're finally coming around.

There are at least six candidates whom I would have rather seen get the republican nomination over Trump. I hate Clinton so much that if there are only two options I will vote for Trump. If there is a third option, almost ANY third option, I will most likely vote for them. I think there are a lot of people like me out there and if Sanders ran as an independent he might have a shot.

I'm tending to a sick granddaughter while on vacation and I'm bored out of my mind. I'm just trying to find ways to pass time while Nick Jr. Slowly puts me into a coma.

I'm not trying to dispute it. Or debate with you, I agree with you. I'm just saying that guy is not neutral, he's nowhere close to neutral.

Entertaining, but he's not exactly neutral.

I'm not wrong about anything, I stated that the quote was stolen from another site. At no time did I attempt to pass those ideas off as my own. That being said, it is a fact that some states (Most?) require some form of photo ID to apply for government assistance. So it's logical that if you receive assistance in those states you should already have an ID. Look, I'm not a republican. I've seen many examples on here of republicans setting up hurdles to voting, and I believe everyone of them. I also think maybe too much is being made out of needing an ID card.

Stolen from a site I'm too lazy to give credit to, but the points may be valid.... "The fact of the matter is that you need valid photo identification to establish your identity in order to qualify for government programs as well. The exact government programs that are designed to help the poor require photo IDs. Of course this makes sense because the administrators of these programs want to eliminate fraud. Poor people have IDs just like the rest of us, even the poorest of the poor. To maintain these people do not does not withstand scrutiny because otherwise they would not be eligible to qualify for the programs the left surely wants them qualified for and dependant upon. There is no malicious purpose for asking a person to show an ID and prove their identity prior to voting. To prove that their is no malicious intent, states like Georgia have enacted programs for free identification cards. This entire argument against providing an ID to vote is nonsensical. The government enacts social welfare programs that are intended for the poorest citizens yet they are required to establish identity prior to receiving the benefits. If the poorest people really could not acquire an ID because they did not have the means to, that would mean they would starve on the streets because they could not qualify for government assistance. Obvioulsy this is not the case. Nor is it the case that people cannot provide an ID to vote. All of this posturing is nothing more than a thinly veiled cover for groups who actually do perpetrate voter fraud like the good gentleman from Mississippi who is now spending 10 years in prison."

Anyone know if some form of photo ID is required to apply for food stamps? Medicaid? Welfare?

That probably makes the most sense. But I would think the number of legal residents that can't obtain legal photo ID would be insignificant to the point that republicans wouldn't push for it so hard and it wouldn't piss off democrats so much. I don't understand it from either side.

I'm cooped up on vacation taking care of a sick granddaughter and I'm bored out of my mind watching paw patrol and bubble guppies. I've also posted more today than I probably have in years. Coincidence?

Yes, a constitutional right. Do illegal immigrants have a constitutional right to vote. Is the reason for showing photo ID at polling booths to establish American citizenship? Fair point. I wish I had a better argument but I don't. But I still think there's an argument there to be had, even if I'm not intelligent enough to articulate it.

Sure. And at 45 I usually don't either. Once in awhile a cashier will ask for it and have right to refuse to sell it to me if I don't produce it. Wether or not a cashier is able to guess our age appropriateness and exercise some common sense, they are legally required to ask for photo ID and confirm the ID belongs to the person they are selling to. Do you know of people who are being denied the right to obtain a legal photo ID? I do not.

Is it possible that management is shelving some of our better players in order to attempt to secure a better draft pick. Could/would they finish the year if the team was fighting for a playoff spot?

You need photo ID to buy beer. Should it be easier to vote for the politicians who represent us than it is to buy beer?

Thank you MattPie Can it be argued that the propose of providing a picture ID when voting is to provide proof the person voting is who they say they are and to ensure they are voting only once? Do you need a voter registration card to vote in every state or just specific states? Do you need picture ID to get a voter registration card?

I've seen ID laws mentioned on here a few times, can someone explain this to me? Does it require voters to have a special ID specific to voting?

I believe it's human nature to want to be a part of and have input in a business that you own. ESPECIALLY if you are a fan owning a team. I believe almost everyone of us posters would "meddle" on some level. If you say you wouldn't I wholeheartedly believe you, but you sir, are a rare bird indeed.

I'm a fan, just like you. Not better, not worse. Wether or not our glasses have the same tint doesn't change that.

Terry's the owner. It's his team, it's his money, he can be as involved as he wants to be. There's no "we". There's no "us". It's his, and he don't owe the fanatics a damn thing. It amazes me the sense of entitlement some seem to have. I'm also amused and entertained, so please, carry on...

Thank you.
