The Cycle Just Continues... Never Ends... by Zintenka July 8, 2016 at 1:07 AM UTC

Has anyone considered that it was an accident? Stop pulling the race card so soon ffs

Cops make correct decisions all the time and incorrect decisions rarely. But when they make one mistake its over hyped by the news and everyone starts freaking out

'I don't feel safe in this country anymore, I want to move out now'

you're like 15, if not, 16 rofl

This story sounds very one sided.
Now I'm not saying the racism isn't a terrible thing but,
I wouldn't make conclusions without knowing exactly what happened.

Why were the police called?
Was the man doing anything that would justify such a conflict that ended in gunshots?
Did the man reach for his gun? 
Was he or did he inflict harm on an officer?

These and many more questions need to be asked before you make conclusions on a story.

Wow. Wow. Wow.

I get that you have a differing opinion compared to mine... however, you essentially said that I was pulling the race card and essentially said that this thing was overhyped by the news.

The dude was merely selling CDs! He's been doing it for 5 years straight and his family was observing from his car the confrontation. 

A lot of things could be said on the police man's intent, whether it was racism or not is left up for debate.

However, to say that it was an accident..? The police man held a gun inches from his face, he hovered it there for a few seconds with the man screaming.

Then the camera looked away in horror and two gunshot sounds.

If you honestly think this was an accident then you either need to take a look at the video yourself or you're deliberately spitting on a man's death.

I hope it's the former.

Murder, no matter what race, culture, creed or religion IS A PRETTY DAMN BIG DEAL!

Considering the recent happenings with minorities as well as Muslims (A muslim was literally swarmed by police for "looking too Muslim". He was a business man from the UAE coming to the US for a medical procedure when a hotel employee called the police on him) you cannot really blame me for making an educated guess.

With the recent happenings you have to either be really naive or you just play too many games with little room for your surroundings to really gauge the magnitude of how crazy this world truly is.

Intolerance is a common share of society. A lot of people, on both sides, will hate each other no matter the cause and can't face any denomination of unity. It has been a cruel nation and will continue to be a cruel nation until something is done, which may be how long. We shouldn't live in fear of those who protect us, and we could use a non-violent revolution, for both parties to come together and stop these prejudices from our enforcers. Corruption and scandals erupt more than they should in what is supposed to be a developed country, and I would personally make demands for transparency if this were the case for these scandals to be disproven, which the United States is notorious for not doing. It's supposed to be innocent until proven guilty here.

People take disagreements to the extreme, and those are the ones who are mentally ill and aren't afraid of taking a life for their opinion. A foundation needs to be structured for the citizens of America, keep education strong and not cut it. We should have any sort of authority heavily evaluated mentally, and take more intensive training courses. I also think that we need body cams on every acting officer on duty, and no excuses like other cases where they 'accidentally turn off' while handling a suspect.

The more liberal side of me came out, but oh well. I actually don't really want to narrow it down to one race, but to everyone on both sides.

That's the thing. Cops shouldn't make any mistakes. This one small mistake ended in a guy dying in front of his girlfriend and son.

You and many others did pull the race card and this was over hyped.

When I say it was an accident, I mean a misunderstanding. A cop had to make a life or death choice on the spot and that's a lot of pressure to put on one guy. If the cop felt threatened, he had to make a decision (in this case he made the wrong decision).

I haven't seen a white person shot by the police get this much news coverage...

The police were called due to the fact that people felt threatened by this man because he had a gun. The man was also being restrained by police, which made him unable to harm the police, let alone reach for a gun. I don't know the full story either, so I can't reach for conclusions, but this is all I know of so far.

Can you give a reason why this would be over-hyped without sounding like a callous person?

This is a MURDER. Someone lost their life, a wife is left a widow and children left without a father.

I can agree with you on one point, I would wish for more cop on white situations to be more publicized. I really do, but that is just the result of a vaunted media system that needs severe reformation.

NO he wasn't feeling threatened! Nor was this a misunderstanding! The guy was restrained, he couldn't even move to get out his gun to shoot at the police nor did he even make a move in the first place towards his gun when he was standing in front of the police.

The owner of the property allowed him to sell those CDs! What other reason should the police come to see to the guy?

I do believe that the majority of police officers are good people who believe in the "To Protect and Serve" motto. All cops are not bad people, lets not get into generalizations. However, it was very, very unnecessary to take this man from his family. On the contrast, who knows what was going through the officers minds. They could have some unheard reason to be afraid as well. I doubt they went about it with malicious intent, they probably thought they were doing the right thing in the moment. The thing that would keep THEM safe. The thing that would let THEM go home and eat with their families. Was it the right choice? Certainly not. Another note, this type of stuff is VERY overhyped by the media. You can't say I'm wrong. For every mishap the police commit that the media report on, there has to be at least 1000 good deeds done by officers. Maybe more. They are not a force for evil.

Of course they shouldn't. I'm sure this mistake costed this cop his job and probably his social life.

However, he is a human and nobody is perfect. Like I said cops make many correct decisions and rarely make false decisions.

Are you asking why its over hyped or how its over hyped?

Yes this is murder and this is terrible. Don't get me wrong, I feel sorry for him and his family, but the peoples reactions to this are insane. Murders happen all the time but you don't see them covered on national news.

Why else would he have shot him then? I really find it hard to believe that this cop really wanted to risk everything he had just to kill one person. Cops are good people.

Read the other posts

You have to realize that not all cops are good people. Some are festering pieces of human shit that need to be imprisoned.

You have to understand peoples' reactions to this, this is a person who is a public citizen that is expected to protect our rights and lives from people that would wish to destroy those things.

If you cannot even trust individuals such as these then who are you supposed to trust? This is essentially betrayal because they spat on their oaths, their government, the people, everything.

It is expected that a situation like this would get a lot of attention from the public. You'd be more angry and shocked if a family or friend of 20 years were to betray you than your worst enemy doing what is... predictable.

Perhaps he was overreacting or something else? He is an officer of that state which allows for open carry, he is expected to know these things. They've served for 3-4 years, I highly doubt they were ignorant of this law.

If he didn't know these things yet he lived in that state for probably his whole life then why is he a police officer? Why is he even IN Louisiana? Perhaps if he lived somewhere else and did another profession, something like this wouldn't have happened.

There have been occurrences where the police have tried to plant guns onto their victim's body or do self-inflicted damage to themselves. I don't want to assume but maybe they were unaware of their family car which was a little ways away and the area was dark and secluded.

A perfect area to fabricate evidence... maybe.

Now, I ask you... Why else would they've shot him if he was restrained in the first place? Would you shoot a person who is held down by you and one other dude on the floor or would you arrest them?

Yes, some cops are bad people, so are some gardeners, some janitors, some presidents. Here's the thing they can all get guns and somewhat easily.

We're not doing this based on race or anything in general, we're talking about a specific incident that happened quite recently.

You have to be really calloused to bring in statistics in a man's death. We're not talking about numbers and we're not talking about ONLY African Americans. We're talking about what happened in this current situation that led to a man's death.

You bring in something that is overall unrelated to this incident - related in the fact that it's police encounters but unrelated in the fact that it's not this specific incident at this moment.

The man was selling CDs and had a right to own a gun in Louisiana.

Also, it's a no-brainer that there are bad people all over... now how do we limit or halt them from getting access to weapons so easily that can kill so easily?

All you're doing right now is just... trying to steer the topic slightly off-track. Seriously.

haven't read all the posts on this topic, but I just wanted to state my opinions. from my own personal view saying Muslims and African Americans are minorities seems a little much. since you're still a fucking human, just because you have a different skin colour or have a different religion you shouldn't be treated differently then anyone else. That being said... you also have to do your part. African Americans especially were treated like shit for hundreds of years as slaves but after that all ended they turned in to homie gangsters shooting each other in the downtowns of big U.S. cities. that's why I don't particularly enjoy the race card being played but police do profile by colour because of the reason I stated above. when you have most black people being apart of gangs they profile it in a way that is unfair. I don't agree with these people losing their live but all the media pisses me off seeing "black lives matter" shit EVERYONES LIFE MATTERS. if you don't want to be treated like a minority stop acting like one, quit playing the fucking race card at every turn. white people get shot every day too, along with blacks. I dont see people parading around saying white lives matter? black lives would matter a lot more if stereotyping and rappers saying nigga every two seconds would stop? our society has caused this not the police. putting cameras on the police isnt going to do squat. its not a police problem its a problem with the society we live in. you saying that you dont feel safe and want to run away is a major overreaction. every place has its problems not just america.

"I don't feel safe in this country anymore, I want to move out now. Not only because of the continuous prejudices I face with my skin color but how the police forces handle situations such as this."

You brought in race and are talking about how you don't think its safe. If you don't think it is safe due to one incident, you need to re-evaluate how you qualify something as a threat to your safety, if on the other hand you believe that police brutality is widespread, I have given you clear evidence rebuking how valid that claim is.

If you want a discussion about this incident and not police brutality as a whole then don't include

"So, on this side note... I feel that this is necessary for multiple reasons. Not only am I Minority who is likely to targeted more often by police forces, I also wish to survive, I want to grow up and have a family... away from such a harsh atmosphere this country continuously exudes.

I'm about to be in college, and I'm one step away from going out into the world on my own.

I want to live. I want to get a future WITHOUT occurrences such as these...

I'm scared shitless right now, what countries would be a good place to live where the laws are fair, free healthcare and the police don't have a mindset akin to a third world country."

from my own personal view saying Muslims and African Americans are minorities seems a little much. since you're still a fucking human, just because you have a different skin color or have a different religion you shouldn't be treated differently then anyone else. 

We don't mean minorities in the way that you're thinking, my friend. Minority literally means as it says in terms of population. Pretty soon, Hispanics will be among the majority. Also, I agree with you that everyone should be treated equally.

African Americans especially were treated like shit for hundreds of years as slaves but after that all ended they turned in to homie gangsters shooting each other in the downtowns of big U.S. cities. that's why I don't particularly enjoy the race card being played but police do profile by colour because of the reason I stated above. 

*Snorts* It ended? My.. my... my... I didn't even know. The "homie gangsters" started popping up around the 1970s to 1980s due to the poor economic conditions that their families has suffered for generations. Maybe you try solving the problem?

President Nixon's secretary admitted in 2002 or whatever that the War on Drugs was initiated to target Hippies as well as Blacks. We have so many laws and institutions set in place that only benefit the few and make the majority suffer greatly.

when you have most black people being apart of gangs they profile it in a way that is unfair. I don't agree with these people losing their live but all the media pisses me off seeing "black lives matter" shit EVERYONES LIFE MATTERS. if you don't want to be treated like a minority stop acting like one, quit playing the fucking race card at every turn. white people get shot every day too, along with blacks. I dont see people parading around saying white lives matter?

Most blacks part of gangs? You need to rephrase that, pronto. I don't necessarily agree with Black Lives Matter but they're the result of continued frustration in result of government, civil and institutional oppression. It's like ISIS, you have to realize that you need to attack it from the source and the US government has been a result of many problems within our world for years now. 60 years now.

It's hard to act like a minority when you're population is lower compared to the more populous ones :/

I agree with the fact that ALL LIVES MATTER. Because it's not only Blacks that suffer but others as well. However, overall whites have it more easy than blacks in terms of applying for a job... meeting new friends... overall day to day actions.

Now, I cannot say this for all of you on here as I seriously do not want to sound ignorant. But most of you guys were not as exposed to the world as much as I was.

I used to get into physical fights in Middle school often or not because of my ethnicity. They'd call me an "African booty scratcher", "Jumungee", "Mud person" or "Mr. Monkuku".

They soon realize that fighting me one on one wasn't really doing anything for them, I still remember breaking a lot of noses and putting people in choke holds... I was never proud of it.

I'd often be targeted by the bus stations by 5 or more people. So don't presume to tell me that we don't really suffer in today's world.

black lives would matter a lot more if stereotyping and rappers saying nigga every two seconds would stop? our society has caused this not the police. putting cameras on the police isnt going to do squat. its not a police problem its a problem with the society we live in. you saying that you dont feel safe and want to run away is a major overreaction. every place has its problems not just america.

Your phrasing is sending me a lot of red flags. I get your intent but please rephrase your sentences "black lives would matter a lot more if". I don't get why people say Nigga either, it's a personal pet peeve of my own as well. The police is bred from society. Laws, governments as well as institutions is based around society.

These policemen are citizens of society, by them reciprocating society's teachings they are part of the problem. 

Yes, every place has it's problems however, I don't want to encounter problems in circumstances in which is out of my control. Such as my skin pigmentation.

Also, my brother nearly had an encounter with police just last year when he was on his way to the bus to his college. So I know these things from my own experiences, my family's experiences and the experiences of others.

RIP the police officers in Dallas.

Also the Minnesota one was even worse. He was pulled over for a broken tail light, and he was told to reach for his driver's license, and was then shot, like what the actual fuck.

Very sad indeed :(

But Zinny, you should move to Canada (we have syrup!)

I live in the UK where the majority of police on duty do not carry firearms, only specially trained officers can carry firearms with them.

I'm shocked hearing this story, but Zin, you shouldn't feel like you in danger. I know you can relate to the victim, but America is not a war zone, it's just poor decision making but the cops.

Big fucking whoop, shit happens, accodents happen. Don't play the race card so often. "I don't feel safe...?" Grow a pair and move on. Police aren't perfect. If that guy was carrying a gun and already served time in jail. Shit happens. Be more worried about Isis...

"If that guy was carrying a gun and already served time in jail. Shit happens" I don't understand this >.>

Me neither...

"If that guy was carrying a gun and already served time in jail. Shit happens" I don't understand this >.>

What I'm saying is the guy doesn't seem like the best guy in the world, if he's already served jail time. I guess the cops felt a little like the guy could cause a big problem when he's carrying around a gun.  So they felt like they had to deal with this guy. But in his defence, I think it was too harsh to kill him just like that.

The messed up thing about the situation is yea he was carrying a gun but he had a permit to like a lot of other people also he wasn't able to grab the gun so killing him was pretty pointless and a bit overkill if you shoot him in the chest 4 times :/

Big fucking whoop, shit happens, executions* happen.

So callous, I wonder what you would say if your father was executed in front of you. No, this wasn't an accident because he was restrained. It was an execution.

Don't play the race card so often. "I don't feel safe...?" Grow a pair and move on. Police aren't perfect.

Yeah but I don't feel safe, I often times witness these events myself. Right, because putting a heavily flawed person in a position of power and the ability to kill multiple people quite easily is not a big deal.

Also, those who often times tell others to grow pairs are often lacking ones themselves.

If that guy was carrying a gun and already served time in jail. Shit happens. Be more worried about Isis...

Cool. "Shit happens" right? What if that shit happens no more when you're dead, my friend.

I'm more likely to be killed by a crazy cop, a murder, a car or my aged neighbor who exudes an aura that is awfully similar to that of a pedophile (Why does he want to hug me? Why did he try to kiss me? Urgh!) than a guy who can somehow make explosives in his apartment or backyard and scream to the top of his lungs and blow everything to bloody hell.

The last terrorist attack on US soil was the boston bombings I believe. The massacre in that nightclub was not a terrorist attack. It was just a guy who lived in a hating household, with a hating father and he hated himself for being homosexual. He only declared allegiance to ISIS after he started killing and he did it because of pressures his religion weighed upon his mind.

As you said, you're 17 turning 18, your a man. If your getting scared about this you need to grow a pair. Unless your walking around with a gun, I don't think the police are gonna give a shit about you.

If you don't feel safe, take up martial arts or buy a gun of your own when you're old enough.

Yes, a man was murdered, and he happened to be black. It's unknown of the officer was doing it because of his skin, or if there was another underlying reason. I wouldn't go pulling out the race card without knowing the TOTAL story. Anyway, I'm sure you wouldn't be making an issue about this if a white man was murdered. I realise that I am coming across as harsh and nonchalant, and I apologise if I insult you in any way.

On another note, you mentioned that your neighbour is displaying pedophillic actions towards you. I suggest telling someone and avoiding him.


Just my two cents.

"If that guy was carrying a gun and already served time in jail. Shit happens" I don't understand this >.>

Let's don't forget, who allows guns and killing. *looking toward the Washington* Your government. And who doesn't want to prohibit that. Your government. And which army entered Ferguson. Wow, third match, your government :D
People got right - people kill each other. 
Government is ok with that. Gg

http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-interactive/2015/jun/01/the-counted-police-killings-us-databas...
An estimated 3 in 1,000,000 African Americans killed by police.
More specifically since you are from New York here are the statistics from the NYPD firearms discharge report.

Canada has strict gun laws 
Canada has free healthcare 
Canada has FUCKING POLAR BEARSS!!!!
ye i think Canada is the better country here

How are we going to protect our country from other people when we can't even protect ourselves from other people in our country, much less that "protect" our country. No offence, but you're being ignorant as fuck. Go tell the family, that's a girlfriend and a son which I'm pretty sure was a toddler to "grow a pair".

You need to look at those statistic proportionally. 

Just over 10% of the USA's population is of a black ethnicity. 

Therefore 10% of the people being included in those statistic 22% of the time really does make a huge difference. 

You'd need to look at the number of white people killed per white population, not just overall population to see whether there is any true correlation between ethnicity and deaths. 

To the OP, 
Just take what Martin Luther King Jr said: 

5 officers just got shot and 7 injured last night... What do you gotta say about that..?

I just found out about that 30 minutes ago. My opinion does not change. But it also brings up another one of my opinions.

The world is a fucked up place.

Also, how does that statement defend your argument? If anything it should support my argument. It's simply the domino effect. One person gets killed and five others get killed because of it. Another reason why that policeman probably made the biggest mistake of his life.

What I was saying is that when this black guy just got killed, there's a big forum post about it and everyone goes nuts, 5 cops just got killed and nobody makes a post about it. As I have said before, the cop screwed up  but nobody is perfect.

You're all clueless and basing your statements out of something you didn't live. You can't just take 1 side of the plot by merely looking at a video (Which doesn't show what happened a significantly amount of time before the issue). Leave it like that, talking about it won't change what happened plus, I'm pretty sure none of the news programms would've given this much of a deal to what happened if the person being killed was white.

I would've but I already made a post about this one. If I made three posts for three issues that happened that relate I'd just be spamming.

I did mention the 11 police officers that were sniped in Texas. The actions of bad and idiot cops will only make the good and neutral cops suffer. It's the cycle that I'm talking about.

And... I want to be far away from that since there's still so many people like you here who are either oblivious and ignorant to what is happening or there are people who know exactly what is going but just don't really care.

I'm telling you, with people that have a mindset such as your's nothing will change.

Everything will stay stagnant and more people will die as a result. Why are you so content with the current system in place?

I was going to post about the cops being killed but you replied to me before I could. But I guess you have a point.

Because how many times does something like this happen a year..? Like barely any. One thing like this won't change your day to day life.  Also, instead of making a forum post about your life, and saying your scared and stuff, next time just make a post saying ; "I'll keep this family in my thoughts and prayers."  Something like that.

No, but I can encounter a similar situation like the two men that were murdered in the future. Whether tomorrow or a decade from now.

That feels over used and whatnot, too many people saying that likeness of "thoughts and prayers", I didn't want to seem like I did this for attention. I did this because I genuinely am scared of how dangerous things like this happen can possibly effect me.

You may not realize it, but things like this can definitely effect you too. New legislation that will limit your freedoms and whatnot?

The Patriot Act was a direct result of something that may or may not personally effect you, but legislation was introduced that basically shat on everyone's privacy - and yes, your's included.

Because how many times does something like this happen a year..? Like barely any. 

Really?

Just a month or two ago, a Chinese officer did police brutality against a man - forgot what it was about but the offficer was left off the hook with a meager community service meanwhile what he did would warrant at least a four-year prison sentence.

And yes, this was in New York - specifically Brooklyn. The whole borough and a healthy portion of other boroughs were angered by the police chief's actions and the officer in the hot seat.

You need to open your eyes and ears. This uncaring and oblivious attitude will do a lot of harm to you in the future.

Talking about it won't change what happened, yes, but slowly bringing people to awareness about these kind of things, revealing new horizons and altering opinions will change the future. Stuff like this is going to happen again, and again. If you look at situations like you currently are, then the world will stagnate. Like previously said before me, the problem is in society, and only society can change themselves.  

@Hundres How many times does it happen that affects 'you.' Not much at all... If something happens in China, that's their problem unless it something huge. 

No, it won't effect 'me' much besides destabilizing the world economy since China holds most of the rare earth minerals in the world and since most things in the US is manufactured in China...

My eyes and ears work perfectly and I'm sticking with my thoughts and opinions, as your probably already know, I don't agree with most of your opinions. I'm not oblivious to the situation, I'm just not making a big deal about it like you are.

Of course, you're entitled to your opinion. Now I'm simply telling you to do a little more research - telling someone to grow a pair when the same could possibly happen to them is not really a good way to state your opinion, my friend ;)

You may not take in the sight of someone being killed in the same way a lot of others do (Which is quite morbid) but that's you... fine.

The guy died, it was a bad call by the cop, but move on man. Stop making this a massive problem,  Like unless your involved, there's no need to get so defensive about what I say about your opinions.

The incident happened a few days ago with another one happening very recently. I'd understand if you were dogging on me for bringing up Christina Grimmie or the horrible mass shooting that recently happened a little ways away by now (Even though you'd be heavily scrutinized because 49 people were killed) but these happened literally within this week and 11 officers were sniped in Texas, I think that I'm allowed to talk about it for now.

I wouldn't be so "defensive" about your opinions if the way you barged into the conversation was a little bit more respectful. (All I did was just point out your callous demeanor and told you to be more aware)

@Oraporo I'm not saying that his attitude will do harm to me or anyone else for that matter, only to himself. The uncaring and callous attitude will cause him to run into complications later in life that he could've avoided if he just cared a little more.

I'm not really taking offense to what he said, I'm only pointing out that he needs to do a little more research into the world before saying things such as this. These cases may not be reported as much but these cases happen inside the US almost every month - especially in New York and many other states.

Perhaps I may or may not run into later complications in life, but I'm definitely very prepared and aware enough should they come to pass.

@Hundres How many times does it happen that affects 'you.' Not much at all... If something happens in China, that's their problem unless it something huge. 

No, it won't effect 'me' much besides destabilizing the world economy since China holds most of the rare earth minerals in the world and since most things in the US is manufactured in China...

My eyes and ears work perfectly and I'm sticking with my thoughts and opinions, as your probably already know, I don't agree with most of your opinions. I'm not oblivious to the situation, I'm just not making a big deal about it like you are.

Of course, you're entitled to your opinion. Now I'm simply telling you to do a little more research - telling someone to grow a pair when the same could possibly happen to them is not really a good way to state your opinion, my friend ;)

Alright, fair. Lets leave this conversation at that. I'm not saying anymore I respect what you said. You seem like a guys who knows a lot, I'm done with this forum post. I'm not trying to make enemies.

I'm.. not.. trying to make you an enemy...

Everyone has their points, I agree with things you said and also disagree. Everyone has their opinions, I'm done arguing with you guys, you seem like nice people so I don't want to cause anymore problems.

Everyone has their own opinions. I don't blame you for expressing them.

Cause you're totally bringing people to awareness by talking about this on a Minecraft forum, If you're really into changing this matter then organize a speech aimed to a major audience cause this ain't helping at all here.

Ok I want to say something about this.  This country does a bad job of making things a us versus them situation.  I wish Black Lives Matters was Pro justice and less anti police.  Because as much as they are wrong of  making this seem cops are terrible they are also not wrong this happens too often and people shouldn't feel the police don't have their best attention.  Now I heard a post saying body cameras don't do shit, they actually do a lot http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/police-body-camera-study_us_561d2ea1e4b028dd7ea53a56 I saw this thing on the Daily Show where in Las Vega their police department acknowledge a problem with police brutality and police complaint went down 36%.  We as a nation need to do better at listening.  Just because they say black lives matter DOESN'T mean they think they are more important or they are don't care about other  ones, that's just assuming.  I u derstand these officers made mistakes but please, instead of justifying why someone had to lose their life, why friends, families, sons, and daughters no longer have their loved ones to these stupid and unnessary accidents is kind of ridiculous.  I think we need to stop making it a race issue, I think we to stop making it a police are evil issue.  I think we honestly just to make the right steps to get better.  To listen to the other side.  The cops that were killed from that sniper disgusts me because these men who serve their lives for those loose them.  You cannot disagree there is a fundemental issue in our policing system.  One of those examples was the stop and frisk program which basically said "If you get question anybody without justification". causing many minority group frisked without real justification http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/05/13/nypd-stop-and-frisks-15-shocking-facts_n_1513362.html Look this should be a bipartisan issue, we shouldn't justify innocent people loosing their lives. There must be justice to all that are innocent,  and Zinktenka, I'm also black I learn to don't always listen to the media because the place nicer than what they say and if you live with conviction and passion for something these things don't bog you down.

Yeah, that was one the places I was thinking of moving to since the border is within my state.

Do you guys have polar bears? :>

Only in the north part mate :)
