Every time I come back from a deployment I get even more irritated by people bitching and moaning about the US not realizing how lucky we are.

But I agree. Although OP makes it seem like you're somewhat screwed regardless. Which I believe him if that's the case.

You don't have the pyramids, Mount Vesuvius, the leaning tower of Pisa and best of all, the Nurburgring though😉. It strikes me as a bit odd, that people wouldn't want to see other places.

What's the ratio of attacks with pistol calibers vs rifle calibers? Does that highly support IIIA being the sweet spot for protection, or is level III or IV more appropriate (but at what cost)?

We also have a lot of poverty. Not 3rd world shantytown poverty, but poverty that means not a whole lot of travel. The education system is also horrific.

Level 4 is very expensive and very heavy. Don't forget you should modify suspension, brakes etc also, not just the frame. With level 4 you are NOT EVER opening your windows. Not possible unless you pay a VERY HEFTY price (over 300-500k).

That's certainly BMW modding that we don't see much on here. Good job.
I work for a Brazilian company and go to SP a few times a year. I know how much a BMW stands out over there, so completely get it. First time there I did ask myself why no Brazilian wears a watch. : I've got to ask the question though, surely there are much better base vehicles than a BMW for bullet proofing? Wrangler, F150, Range Rover, etc. come to mind. |

Also, I don't think I'm a "big contributing factor for why the US is on a downhill trend" as I don't live in the US (I'm Canadian).

But considering the sheer number of guns here, America really has very little gun crime (we like to make a big deal about it)... 300+ million guns go every day without ever being used in a crime. It's something like 1% of 1% that ever actually gets used in a crime and something like 90% of those are stolen from law-abiding citizens. The numbers are really really tricky since it becomes such a hot charged topic, and rarely is data compiled without a bias. |

In the U.K. it's hanging. Grim whichever. Have done some mental health work, there's a school of thought that says a lot of people who failed suicide attempts are glad. Which suggests that if you make it hard to do, people benefit. Anyway, enough of that, stay safe all,

My old company had an office on Faria Lima Brigadero and I and was in São Paulo quite a few times over the last couple of years. Inside the office was a map, with concentric circles, safe, do not go to after 6, and do not go to ever. Avoid conspicuous signs of wealth (watches, even cell phones). It was one city where I never felt safe out of the downtown core

Yeah making it harder probably saves lives but at a cost to the freedoms of those who obey the laws. We really need mental health reform in this country... not nerfing anything dangerous. A big part of that is being honest, talking about mental health, and not just medicating everyone because they are sad that their life isn't what they wanted. Life is hard, it sucks sometimes, it's not fair... but to be honest, struggle makes you into the human you are supposed to be. All my friends are a little fucked up... even if they grew up with the money... bad shit happens and its how we deal with it that builds the character. I grew up with money but in order for my family to have the money, I had a workaholic dad and a Mom in Med School.... so money wasn't an issue, but I raised myself. I would never ever wish that on my kids, but then I look at how that has shaped me, my friends, that were raised similar... The struggle is a good thing and teaches you what you are capable of. Sorry for the off-topic thread jack, but everyone on here is pretty good about decent intellectual conversation. Last edited by dakine_surf; 05-20-2020 at 05:48 PM.. |
