  1. All valid points brought up in this thread.

     

    I am also inclined to look more towards the income inequality having more of an effect on racial tensions: if you travel around the state like I do, there is far more NEW examples of poverty and government-assistance need/abuse in rural white America in 2015 than black America these days. Look at the opoid/meth/heroin abuse...was a problem for generations in the black community, when there was a "War on Drugs". Now that it's a white problem (even in the suburbs), we preach tolerance, understanding, and treatment.

     

    Larger picture, the problem is even more rooted in our society and how we treat each other: "fake it til ya make it" on social media has more of a value than face-to-face relationships, hard work, and personal success/satisfaction (however that's measured!). As a father, my thoughts go out to his family and friends for their loss, not how the rest of the world reacts to a senseless death.

     

    Just moved to marion from the dublin/powell/lewis center area. Holy shit the walmart up here is filled with these people. Usually have several hundred dollars in junk food piled up among 2 carts making me look poor as fuck.

  2. I imagine this was probably designed for those folks that went to the store only to find out it was closed. And as form of repayment to those that wasted their time, they were giving out free burritos. Unfortunately a lot more people than just those that went to a closed store signed up.

     

    Unfortunately, i am one of those people.

  3. This is flawed logic clay, you got a warning because you were white. I don't have one and my last two interactions with police ended in warnings as well because I wasn't being a douchebag to the officer. same for my wife.

     

    Also, that BMW is a bit of a cop magnet. srsly.

     

     

    Also, getting a CCW for the sole purpose of avoiding tickets is the wrong way to go about things.

  4. I am currently shopping for rates too as my current insurer is dropping me due to no longer living at home (havnt lived at home in years lol). the $100+ a month ive been quoted just seems redic.

     

    Even bundling my home owners ins with auto was still high. Here is what they are telling me:

     

    When i drove a 16 year old piece of shit: buy a newer car, rates are cheaper.

    When i drive a newer safe car: Its newer, that's why rates are high.

     

    I really fucking hate insurance companies.

  5. Oops that was for the cedar, but I did not see 5/4 oak on their website. I'll just have to go in and look.

     

     

    The table won't have the leaf in it except for when we have company, and would likely have a tablecloth over it so if cedar is the best I can get I won't sweat it.

  6. Also, you're not going to find 5/4 2" strips. If you just need a glued up plank of oak in a certain size, lmk

     

    Menards has 5/4X 8, http://www.menards.com/main/building-materials/lumber-boards/outdoor-lumber/5-4-x-8-x-4-3-or-better-red-cedar-board-cutback/p-1444422748633-c-13115.htm?tid=-8542563001068956622

     

    If i just get two of these and make 2 8" leafs i wouldnt even need to have it planed. Just cut to length, route the edge then sand/finish.
