I don't have a police phobia. I have a pair of 20-20 eyes. I have lived through civil rights, womens rights, gay rights and every other kind of rights actions, and I have seen what police do in these cases in the US when they are not obeyed. If you haven't, then lucky you, jackrabbit.

No offense, but what does Obama have to do with what I'm saying? I happen to be an Obama supporter, and I can never understand how he winds up being blamed for everything.   No, this is not the same thing. For one thing, muslim police would never put their hands on a woman unless necessary. My point is the disrepec...more

I don't who you think you're calling a retard, homeboy, but my point is that too many women in this country are abused, by police, husbands, total strangers for that matter--for people to get so high and mighty about this woman's treatment. In this country, this woman would have been in the back of squad car after the ...more

Say what you want, but before you criticize these guys maybe you should go back and take a look at how women have been treated at Occupy rallys. Gassed, stomped, pepper sprayed, pushed, shoved, cuffed and hauled off.

My guess is she'll squabble, she'll rant, then she'll take it off.

Cute girls. Nice to see people having fun with their lives for a change.

I'm with Libretto. This beautiful woman's name is Peggy McAlpine. She's a 104 year extreme sports enthusiast. Her name is not "Granny." It's one thing to call someone "Gran," grandma, grandmother, or even grammy, but internet and media writers & editors have a habit of calling all older women "Granny," no matter what t...more

Amsterdam has had a significant drug problem for years, meaning a portion of the population that is basically dysfunctional because of drug use; crime; domestic troubles; and the questionable value of the dope-economics supported by the foreign dopers that this law is now trying to cut off.   I made my first trip ...more

New Yorkers are a tough breed. Born a southerner, I learned to love and respect NYers over the last 30-plus years. Unfortunately, many people only got to know NY, and people like Joe, when Sept 11 happened. It was a terrible time for everyone, but it was an eye-opener for the many people who had such wrong ideas about ...more
