So I'm not entirely sure 'blaming' the Klan would be appropriate in the case of that 1953 law. I think 'excusing' is maybe more appropriate. N.C. Gen. Stat. § 14‑12.3 says: It shall be unlawful for any person to join, unite himself with, become a member of, apply for membership in, form, organize, ...

Bring waterproof shoes so you can easily hose off the human feces and hippy stink.

There is an express exception for motorcyclists in the statute. The intent of the law is to go after and arrest all of the mask-wearing little s**ts who have been doing stuff like blocking roads and setting up "occupation" camps on college campuses. If people don't like the law, blame those folks fo...

It's possible that the courts in NC have interpreted the statute to impose an intent requirement. But if not, then I would disagree with Senator Britt that the statute on its face requires intent to conceal identity. The statutes make it illegal to be in public places "while wearing any mask, hood o...

Well yeah, but a lot of GA manufacturers have gone bankrupt at some point. Beechcraft went BK, Piper went BK multiple times, Mooney went BK and is no longer manufacturing, Columbia went BK and was bought by Textron and made part of Cessna, etc. Even Cessna and Cirrus might have gone BK in the past i...

So you're saying the North Carolina Republican party is advancing this law with the hopes of eliminating the KKK/Proud Boys? Wonder why they included language to allow exceptions for groups such as the KKK or Proud Boys to get permission to wear masks at public events? If you are referring to parag...

Is that why they passed the current law? I would say yes. The title of the bill is "Unmasking Mobs and Criminals," if you look at the various antifa, pro-Hamas, environmental, etc. protests out there these days, pretty much all of the protesters are wearing medical masks. They aren't scared of Covi...

I wouldn't have a problem buying a kit aircraft that I'd built, like something from Vans, which has sold thousands of kits. But of course that's very different from flying an aircraft that you also designed yourself.

https://twitter.com/NoLieWithBTC/status/1791088750983893236 I assume this would apply to everybody? https://www.starnewsonline.com/gcdn/presto/2022/05/07/NSTN/443a4121-4c3d-48c4-b7fa-03c0ad075b69-NCWIL-111221-NEWS-MASKS-12.jpg I have a feeling you are not aware of the history of these laws. In addi...

Depends on what we mean by "chain restaurant." I mean, if I want a burger, I have no problem going to Wendy's or Five Guys or some fast-food place like that. If we're talking specially about the category of sit-down restaurants that are generally given the label of "casual dining" in the restaurant ...

I have questions.

Hershey caught mice four and five yesterday. Mouse four was DOA, and while mouse five was still alive when I got it away from him and then later released it, I'm betting it didn't survive the night. I'm nicknaming that cat the Black Death.

The Red Lobster on McKnight seems pretty busy to me. This was briefly mentioned on KDKA yesterday. Supposedly the company ran several "all you can eat" specials on shrimp and lobster in the recent past and completely loss their ass on the cost. People would come in and eat like 100 shrimp in one sit...

Käsespätzle > > > any form of macaroni and cheese. Fight me.

Evelyn?

We went from importing some sort of Thai rice to holy wars in about 4 pages. In the NFL thread. Well done, fam.

Red cargo rice is really tasty. Way better then regular brown rice.

My gawd man. "fight against the cultural emasculation of men" is a phrase an adult said in a commencement speech. Is this a bit? Not at all. And I would agree with him on that point. I just listened to his full speech. It's obvious that he's really Catholic. Like toward the end he talks about how m...

I saw all the abortion and motherhood stuff yesterday and didn’t care. But then saw the one today that I shared. That’s an hilarious thing to say in public, for a grown man with a job, in professional football. You think it's hilariously wrong. That does not mean that it is objectively wrong. Your ...

And telling a bunch of young women who just earned their degree that they won’t really accomplish anything until they get a husband and a child.

This.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Are you assuming the gender of those "women"?

I’m only seeing one butthurt poster here Dude, you're the one who started all of this by posting that tweet and saying, and I quote, "lol what a **** loser." I mean, you could have seen that tweet and said, "Huh, I see that Harrison Butker has personal and religious beliefs that I personally disagr...

Let's assume that's correct and 30% of the country are idiots holding onto outdated beliefs. Does that mean the other 70% shouldn't mock them when they say stupid ****? Nope. But I should think it means that you shouldn't be butthurt when they say stuff that you disagree with, because just as you a...
