KATU - Portland, OR : Food cart panhandling is getting a bit aggressive, some say | Local & Regional | KATU.com - Portland

And you are just talking tough. Honestly though I hope you pick the right panhandler to kick in the nards and have the wherewithal to deal with any consequences without tying up our police force. They have better things to do than follow up on kicks to the groin deserved or not.

Fairview has those speed bumps and they aren't a problem for longboards unless a pile of muck builds up along the edge.

Huge +1 for the fitting yet sad application of His Dudeness. Somehow I feel like we as Oregonians are both the whizz and the rug here.

KATU - Portland, OR : Gangs and crime ride into town on MAX, survey finds | Local & Regional | KATU.com - Portland News, S

Not gonna dispute the finding that gangs are using the MAX, because from experience I knew that to be true well before the green line came around. However I agree with you in questioning the complete accuracy of the study just as its authors did. The last paragraph in the summary subtitled "Information Gaps" acknowledges its limitations: "Known information regarding gang activity in the County is mostly anecdotal. Until gang data documentation/reporting issues are resolved and more accurate data is generated, ability to accurately evaluate the level of threat in the County will remain poor."

Willy salmon spend loads of time around AK before coming back home. Nearly all I've caught still have sea lice on them. Believe whatever you want.

They are very safe in accidents not involving other cars especially head on. Physics dictates that less mass equals less potential energy to be turned into kinetic energy or something like that.

I'm having a hard time thinking of anyone that is going to be better served by the new bridge than those who live within earshot of the chainsaws.

I stand by my example. I'm not equating the merits of the issues, rather pointing out that legislators passed a law that SCOTUS had to weigh in on. Extract the tyranny they did.

I did the adult version of catechism when I was about middle school age. Honestly I can't distinctly recall any of it. Probably daydreaming about girls. My favorite take on papal infallibility is that of Pope John XXIII, "I am only infallible if I speak infallibly but I shall never do that, so I am not infallible."

That's fine by me. You are entitled to your take on it. I agree that some of whats in that document is chauvinistic gobbledy guk, but there is some good stuff on how to be a loving parent as well. For the record I gave you a TU. The Church has it's reasons for the stance they take on birth control, but a lot of us Catholics disagree on this and other issues like women being priests and priests being able to marry.
