"You do realize that forcing folks to do things they don't want to do shows a lack of class, right?"
That is a totally ridiculous statement! Every single days of our lives, we are "all" forced to do things that we really do not "want" to do.
Would you want to pay for Internet access if you were not forced to do so?
Would you want to pay for license plates or insurance for your car if you were not forced to do so?
Would a convicted criminal be willing to go to jail if he were not forced to do so?
Would people obtain permits to buy or carry their guns if they were not forced to do so?
How many people would obey (or disobey) traffic laws, hunting laws, fishing laws, drug laws, or in fact any other laws you can think of, if they were not forced to do so?
By your statement, implementation of any or all of the above "shows a lack of class". Really? I truly hope you were joking, and can see just how ridiculous your statement was.
"Join us"
Join Who? or What? Who or What is the "us"?
Not by people with class, you aren't.
There wasn't much crime in the west.
What criminals there were knew the deal.
Likely execution, by rope, or bullet.
Crime is much more distributed today.
Far more widely available.
You calling more cops a bonus?
Because it looks to me like more cops, more crime.
Put your head back in your ass, statist.
You fail to entertain me, ATP.
