Happy New Year! So hopefully, if I have time, there will be pictures of a painted car up tomorrow. Have a few more hours to put in on it tomorrow morning, even then sometime over the winter I will have to pull the mirrors to repaint them, and do the black portions of the front bumper (headlight buckets, and I may or may not do the portion where the fog lights normally reside), for now it is all green.

dood...im sorry...but fuck chicago.
its like a prime example of dems gone wild.
True. But honestly, it's not as bad as it seems. I know it looks like a total cesspool from the outside looking in, but it's not as bad as it seems. The only really, really shitty/dangerous parts are on the south side. It's really bad down there, and it's where the majority of Chicago gangs and shit call home. I live on the northside of the city where crime isn't nearly as bad. I've never felt unsafe walking the streets at night. But yeah, the liberal bullshit is annoying, but other than stricter gun laws, I dont really notice it all that much.
I don't think it's necessarily the crime rate that's a turn off for me, it's the fact that it's pretty much a police state as it is, not to mention the liberal mentality that is lobbying for even more rights to be stripped away. I feel the same about California and New York. What I do like about them though is that there is always a lot to do. See I think that's just the stigma of the city from outside looking in. Chicago get a lot of bad press, you really dont see any of the liberal bullshit in daily life here, it's just the only thing they like to show on TV. I interact with just as much conservative bullshit daily as I do Liberal bullshit. It's just that all the liberal shit gets put through the media, and IMO all forms of media are bullshit anyway. I know that Chicago has a poor image to outsiders, but it's just not true. It's like saying all of NC is just a bunch of white, racist bible bangers that want to strip away the rights of women and gays and want to see all the teachings of science completely taken out of schools so they can teach theology and intelligent design. And that Florida is just a bunch of old people that moved down there to die and shouldn't even be allowed to vote because they have an assload of problems getting votes together EVERY SINGLE ELECTION . But they're just a bunch of untrue sterotypes.

He has a sort of paint booth at his Dad's house, even still there was a lot of dust to wet sand out. Car isn't going to take 1st place at cocours d'elegance or anything, but it looks ridiculously better than it was! Pictures tonight. Hopefully.

If you live here, and you're not from Florida, you're from NY, or Jersey. It has been a constant battle of New Yorkers leaving NY, and bringing their NY ideals, and politics which by the way failed NY (socially, and economically), and trying to convert NC and bring it down the same way. As of right now though we are still a free state, and believe in the constitution, but its a battle were slowly losing. Those fucktards are trying are trying to lobby for union labor as well around here. If it failed up there, ts not gonna work here.

Well this doesn't look good...Chicago murders by neighborhood in the last 12 years.
I live in Lakeview, right north of Lincoln Park. Those murders must have been old data because there hasnt been any up here since the 2 years I've lived here. One things for sure tho, something needs to be done. I'm not sure what...but this is getting ridiculous.

Nah, Chicago will never be Detroit. The problem with Detroit is that it was overbuilt and over populated based on one fucking industry. When that industry left, it turned into a shit hole. Chicago has a huge variety of business and industries, there's no risk of it turning into Detroit any time soon. These areas of Chicago have been this way for decades, and they're actually better than they used to be, but still shitty. The map is also kind of deceiving, making the crime look a lot closer than it is to the nicer areas.
but while we're on the subject of Detroit, I'm so godamn sick of hearing about how we need to save Detroit, and why we need to build more industry there too keep it alive. Why? What purpose does Detroit have? Why do we feel the need to pour resources and money into keeping it around? It's a shithole place with no value.

yea i was starting to wonder WTF was up with NC.. each election im thinking uhhhhhh why is it even close... these damn snow birds Half of our state's population live in the two major cities, and they mostly vote blue. It seems it's like that in every state... People who live in large cities lean to the left.

Legalize some drugs, cut welfare spending, and let the citizens be armed. That would cut down a lot of it.
Most of the murders are probably drug/gang related. Legalize some drugs, and it would empty out a lot of the prisons.
Stop giving welfare recipients cell phones, and give them a reason to work. Get rid of their sense of entitlement to shit. It's well known that low income areas have the most crime, well make people work, and reduce low income areas. Yes, I'm talking about black people. Encourage education instead of freeloading, skilled laborers also commit far less crimes.
Let the citizens be armed, and defend themselves. Statistics show that states/cities with an armed populace have a very low violent crime rate compared to gun free zones or liberal party zones.
