  @25 When I said Iran is a peaceful nation, I mean peaceful towards America and other governments in general. All governments steal, imprison, and abuse their own subjects, it is their nature. In that respect, the US government should not...
• Commented on Alaskan Independence Party sponsored By Iran
  Okay, a couple of things: 1) Iran is a peaceful nation. The political side games that they play in other countries are miniscule compared to the international meddling of the US gov't. 2) Joe Vogler's a crackpot, but that has...

  I agree with most of the other posters. I would consider being pulled over for anything other than a violation of the law harrassment and a gift card would not change that. This might be different if cops in my...
