What a shit hole! Why aren't you out there with your guns keeping the streets safe? With your staggering intellect, incredible physical strength and considerable fire-power, you should be saving Oakland. Instead, you're out lapping the same old streets on your bike -- grinding along, trying to hit a meager 5K. What a loser. Dump the bikes and go save the world! https://live.staticflickr.com/7384/9321820509_77e2fa5f38_b.jpg I'm hoping for the Girl Scouts in Portland. https://i.pinimg.com/originals/1c/98/56/1c98561654ab32dd991cb2d0093bba74.jpg

Tell me Jay, why would I need a gun? I could kill you easily without a gun. Do you know what the REAL people are? When I fell yesterday out on a gravel path in the middle of nowhere, I lost my phone without realizing it. I got to the end of the gravel and going through the gate I discovered that my phone had bounced out. So I carefully reversed my course all the way home and getting there I called my phone which was immediately answered on the first ring. It was a man that was out riding gravel along the same path and found the phone. He called Verizon in an effort to find out who owns it. In any case I drove 16 miles and picked up my phone at a multi-million dollar plus home in the Hayward hills. THIS is the real world of which you're not part of.

Tell me, at what point did you surmise that I pulled a gun on a cop? What would cause you to lie like that? The article was self descriptive and yet you lie after showing the exact opposite? Exactly what is going on in your head?

Well, I'm sorry for any misreporting, but this is what you said:

"I went over and opened the door with relief and told him he could come in. He saw me placing my pistol back in its holster and taking it back into my bedroom. Apparently he told me to stop and drop my gun from out in the driveway but I was too far away to hear him with the TV on and the young woman crying. I came back out and he was still standing outside so I went our to explain what was going on. I was wearing a T-shirt and pants and it was obvious that I didn’t have any sort of weapon on me. He drew his large caliber pistol and pointed it at my head from about a foot away. He demanded that I sit on the lawn until other officers appeared and then they HANDCUFFED ME!!! And made me sit out on the curb with all of the neighbors looking out and seeing the police leading me around in handcuffs. If they were so afraid that I might have a hidden weapon why didn’t they frisk me or even ask for an ID? This was done for one reason only – to give themselves time to ransack through my home looking for other possible weapons or drug or some such. And yet without a search warrant this was completely and totally illegal."

You opened your door to address a police officer while holding a handgun -- which seems like a stupid move. No? I would have put the gun down (and into the closest drawer) before opening the door -- and I would have turned off the TV -- and maybe combed my hair.

And are you threatening me? If so, I am now shooting you with my AR15 because I feel in danger for my life. You are dead, and with your obvious mental issues and issues with the police, I was totally justified.

And what about your phone and gravel crash? I rode five miles with a broken hand to get to a phone. I've ridden with a separated shoulder, broken ribs, facial lacerations -- all with no phone. I broke a crank riding out to Sauvie Island and had to pedal with one leg/scooter home 13 miles with no phone. FYI, it is really hard pedaling with one leg and trying to find some place to put your other leg. That's the real world -- one leg pedaling. I've also ridden in an ortho boot, which is like one-leg pedaling, but at least you have a place to put your other leg.

You don't know the real world. This is the real world: https://tinyurl.com/bhd9sx4r The Rock Garden Tavern where they graciously gave me some ice for my broken hand. Thank you tavern people.

I hate to tell you this but there isn't a single law against holding a gun in my hand on my own property without even so much as that moron being able to interpret it as any sort of threat since I was not pointing it at him and was clearly putting it back into its holster.

Exactly why are you so afraid of guns? The FBI were interested in the reaction of this cop and now have his name on record. The San Leandro police reacted by pulling this guy's gun and making his job public relations at the farmer's market and it appears that he quit.

So everyone including his own police department found his reactions illegal. For a lawyer why is it that you don't know the law?

Who is talking about the law. It is a stupid idea to greet the police with a weapon in your hand. No? And I have more guns than you, unless you have a freakish amount of guns. I'm not afraid of them -- well, some are pretty old, and I'd be afraid to shoot them.

So exactly why were you treating this as if I were breaking the law? That guy is probably no longer a cop anywhere since that blemish on his record would stop any PD from hiring him. You were perfectly willing to complain about the cops when it was them leaving BLM and Antifa alone as they burned your city, but somehow an obvious fool with a gun hiding behind a badge is OK as long as I was at the receiving end.

You have a lot of guns but Rittenhouse isn't allowed to in the mind of the great lawyer who is even willing to defame a jury finding. Why don't you volunteer to help re-charge Rittenhouse?

Amazing. I see a few things that aren't quite right.

1. You rode home and immediately called your smartphone number.
Calling is good, but what you should have done is fire up your
computah and use it to locate your phone. For Android:
<https://www.google.com/android/find>
and Apple:
<https://apps.apple.com/us/app/find-my-iphone/id376101648>

2. I'm impressed that the person which allegedly found you phone
answered on the first ring. Normally, to answer a call, I need to
optionally unlock the phone, put my finger on the "answer" icon, and
slide (swipe) the icon sideways, before the phone will answer. I can
usually answer by the 2nd or 3rd ring. However, I'm familiar with my
phone, but the person who allegedly found your phone is not familiar
with your. It would take him some time and effort to work out the
procedure. If he caught it on the first ring, he would have had to
have been VERY familiar with whatever model phone you have. I just
tried to answer mine and was only able to do it by the 2nd ring.

3. Assuming the phone was locked, how would he know to call Verizon
instead of some other vendor? Verizon no longer attaches their logo
or name on their smartphone. See any logos on their smartphones:
<https://www.verizon.com/smartphones/>
There's also no VZW logo or name on the lock screen or the home
screen. In order to obtain the vendors name, the good Samaritan would
have had to dive into the phone, install a suitable app, and extract
the MCC/MNC country and network numbers (311/480 for Verizon).
<https://www.mcc-mnc.com>
I use Cellular-Z for the purpose on Android:
<https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=make.more.r2d2.cellular_z>
Just in case I missed something, I just dug though the settings on my
Android 11 phone and didn't find Verizon or VZW anywhere in the
settings. I do know some tricky ways to get that info from a locked
phone, but that requires someone familiar with field test mode. So,
how did he know to call Verizon?

4. If you call Verizon and tell them you found a lost phone, your
will be told to take it to their nearest dealer or store. They can
hand the details of getting it back to its owner.

5. I was wondering why you mentioned "multi-million dollar plus home"
and that he picked up the phone on the first ring. Neither item
seemed relevant to the effective delivery of your insult. My
guess(tm) is that both tend to elevate you in status. Having your
phone found by a wealthy bicycle rider rubs off on you and raises you
status far more than having it found by a mere mortal. After all,
important people only deal with other important people. Answering on
the first ring is an indication of status because important people
expect lesser individuals to answer them immediately, thus raising you
to the status of an important person.

Next time you contrive story for the occasion, please try to make it
more believable.

Jeff, since you've been participating in this forum, tommy's lies have only become more grandiose and elaborate. In recent months he gone from working at that company that created the tool used to isolate HIV to being personally involved in developing a cure for AIDS.

Would we not be the least bit surprised to find out the owner of that hayward hills mansion was the owner of the most successful data security software company in silicon valley who has positive proof that millions of voting machines in the USA were hacked to steal the election, and this owner also has proof positive that COVID-19 is a fabricated crises, and that this owner shared proprietary information with a random old dude whose phone he found, that was unlocked so that he could use it to call verizon? And that tommy helped him solve a software bug that had been plaguing a new product launch in a few minutes over a glass of the most expensive japanese whiskey ever produced?

Seriously jeff, you aren't thinking clearly.

Need you always be so ignorant? I looked carefully all the way back and so didn't need to know where the phone is since it was so obviously picked up by someone. It is pretty clear that you don't have any friends that might call you because you don't need to unlock anything to answer and incoming call. Always showing your supreme stupidity, on the unlock page, it SAYS Verizon. Why are you posting if you don't know this? Again, what do you know about Verizon? Apparently nothing since they said that they could only give the non-owner the phone number which was not helpful

As usual your idiocy ranges into the area where you cannot see the relevancy of a person who lives in a multimillion dollar near mansion walking on a bay trail, or perhaps riding since his car had a bicycle carrier on top.

Would you mind tell all of the people here why you would make such a posting from a point of absolutely NO KNOWLEDGE OF ANYTHING?

If that were so why are you spreading the radical Democrat socialist line?

When the Pilgrims came to Plymouth Rock they were SOCIALISTS as were the people in Jamestown. Both colonies almost starved to death before the American Indian demonstrated the worth of Free Enterprise Capitalism to them. They changed from socialism to capitalism and because totally successful. So why are you such an ardent supporter of socialism and the lie and lie and lie that you've been repeating with every one of your stupid postings?

A "multi-million dollar plus home" is not all that impressive in Silicon
Valley, lots of 1960's tract homes on small lots fall into that
category. Come January 1, the values of those homes will increase
significantly as SB-9 becomes law.

LOL, he didn't realize that there were people like you that could easily
debunk his story.

As an aside, it's a good idea to put some contact information on your
phone case, an e-mail address or a different phone number, so you can be
contacted if someone finds your phone. And put that on the lock screen
as well. I've found lost phones and it's hard to find the owner because
there's no identifying information.

On Android there's a Lock Screen setting that lets you add contact
information. On iPhone it's more of a hassle, you have to use something
like Microsoft Paint to create wallpaper with your contact information
added, see
<https://www.lifewire.com/add-contact-info-to-lock-screen-wallpaper-1701950>.

If Tom's story is true, then he was lucky that someone answered the
phone and that the battery didn't discharge before someone found it.

And of course, as you state, you can always use your computer to find
your phone (as long as it's on).

A lot of the people are struggling with the fact that to get the vaccine
would require that they admit that they were wrong. Tom is in that
predicament.

Sadly, the only thing that seems to cause people like that to get over
that reluctance to admit they're wrong is when a loved one who drank the
Koolaid and didn't get vaccinated is dying of Covid and begs them to get
vaccinated, or the family left behind begs everyone to get vaccinated.

As I've written here several times previously, the mRNA
products are helpful but not as effective as is often
assumed or claimed.

https://ourworldindata.org/covid-deaths-by-vaccination

Note USA numbers have been suspect for 18 months, GB numbers
are generally accepted as more representative of actual
experience.

So, yes, there's a benefit, not a panacea. YMMV and mine
surely does.

So, here is Tommy who claims to have been in the service and worried

Moto Z XT1650 8.0
Google Nexus 1 10.
Moto G Power (2020) 11.
None of the 5 Android phones show Verizon or VZW on either the "lock
screen" or the "home page".

I just found an AT&T phone.
Phone Android
Samsung Galaxy S10e 11.
No "ATT" on lock or home screens. ATT does appear during boot.

However, all the but the Moto G Power briefly showed a "Verizon" page
during booting on power on. For the person who found your phone to
have seen this, they would have had to turn off the phone, turn it
back on, and wait for the Verizon logo. The problem is that they
would then need to unlock the phone in order to use the phone.
However, they could answer the phone when it rings without unlocking.

For entertainment, please note the following pages of Verizon lock
screens and home pages:
<https://www.google.com/search?q=verizon+lock+screen&tbm=isch>
<https://www.google.com/search?q=verizon+home+screen&tbm=isch>
Most of the pages do NOT show "Verizon" except for 2 situations:
1. The various Verizon apps installed by default and which cannot be
easily removed.
2. A red "Verizon" on a white background, were indicative of a bug 4
years ago that froze the boot processes at the page.

My Moto G Power does NOT show a "Verizon" page on boot.

On some earlier Android versions, VZW would appear in the upper left
of the screen. I didn't see that on any of the phones I checked.
<https://www.reddit.com/r/ios/comments/80a9ji/why_is_my_carrier_logo_like_this_its_only_on_my/>

On some really old phones, Verizon would inscribe it's name or logo on
the back of the phone. Three of the phones had the manufacturers logo
or name on the back, but no Verizon. My guess(tm) is that a Verizon
name or logo might have been a problem for users wanting to switch
carriers.

It would be helpful if you would disclose the maker and model of your
smartphone.

So, that leaves us with the original question. How did the person who
found your phone know to call Verizon? I doubt that you left the
phone unlocked as that would leave the phone open to inspection by
anyone. If it were a recent smartphone, it would have face ID,
fingerprint, pattern, PIN, or other form of authentication. If you
had left it unlocked, they would have needed to have some rather
arcane knowledge of how the MCC/MNC country and network numbers worked
and how to find them.

Next time you contrive a story designed to make you look good, please
try to make it believable.

Good idea. On Android 11, try:
Settings -> Networks & Internet -> Mobile Network
-> Advanced -> Access Point Names
Mine shows: TRACFONE XXXXXXX

Incidentally, using several SIM Information type apps, the Operator
Name is "Not Available". I recall this appeared in Android 10 when
Google decided that having apps read some records on the SIM card was
a bad idea.

Yep. Also try LTE Discovery:
<https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.simplyadvanced.ltediscovery>
It's a bit buggy, but still useful. You may have to kill the app
after exit as it continues to run with no way to cleanly exit.
Settings -> Apps -> LTE Discovery -> Force Stop

Well, I think he knew. He fabricates stories and events quite often.
It's mostly a question of whether anyone cares enough to point out the
errors and problems. What bothers me is why he does it so often? A
day doesn't pass without revisionist history, amazing facts, superior
expertise, and financial gains. Approximately 1/3 of all postings in
RBT are authored by Tom. My guess(tm) is he's trying to attract
attention. Post something wrong and everyone (including me)
immediately offers a correction. Fairly soon, he's the center of
attention. I've spent most of my life trying to avoid being the
center of attention, but Tom seeks the opposite.

Done. I have a clear vinyl crash protector on my phone. I slide my
business card between the back of the phone and the case, so it's
easily visible.

>And put that on the lock screen as well.

Also Done. See below.

Too much trouble. I prefer:
Settings -> Search for "Add text on lock screen"
I have too much info on the lock screen, so it scrolls back the text
like a Time Square sign. I just tweaked it to my full name, home
phone, and email address.

Yep. However, most people have a few spare chargers left over from
previous phones. Then the problem is reduced to micro-USB, USB-C, or
Apple Lightning connector.

That's what I do when I get involved in a lost phone problem. The
problem is that I need their Google login and password in order to
find their phone. Most people are willing to tell me these, but since
logins are almost automatic these days, the don't recall either. I
then go to a machine which they have used to login to their account,
and fish out the info from their browser saved logins. So much for
security.

Someone in another Usenet group was insisting that being able to put
your contact information onto an iPhone's lock screen was unnecessary,
because of "Lost Mode." To activate Lost Mode," an iPhone user logs into
their iCloud account from a computer or other Apple device and pushes
contact information onto the iPhone's lock screen.

I decided to test out "Lost Mode" on my iPhone Xr. I went to
<https://www.icloud.com/>, entered my login name and password, but it
required 2FA (two-factor authentication) by sending a six digit code to
my iPhone (or other Apple device).

So to activate "Lost Mode" you first have to find your iPhone and enter
the six digit code, then lose it again (unless you have another Apple
device with the same Apple ID).

I ended up using the "lock-screen-wallpaper" kludge
<https://www.lifewire.com/add-contact-info-to-lock-screen-wallpaper-1701950>
so my contact information can be on the lock screen, but it's amazing
that something so simple to do in "Settings" on an Android device is so
kludgy on iOS.

Alas, this is not the only weird omission on iOS.

Someone did an interactive database of this at
<https://prepaidcompare.net/> so no need to keep updating that
spreadsheet. I forgot about it. I took it down.

As you stated, many things have changed. Now that Verizon bought
Tracfone, things will probably change a lot again.

For light users the 360 day Red Pocket/Verizon plan is now probably the
best deal (1GB, 1000 minutes, unlimited SMS for $7 per 30 days)
<https://www.ebay.com/itm/133051277200>.

I have four users on a 100GB/month shared Total Wireless plan for a
little under $100 per month. We use only about ¼ of that 100GB but it's
the least expensive 4 line plan on Verizon's network that provides
sufficient data. I don't even bother with Wi-Fi data on my phone anymore.

I suspect that living where you do you're on Verizon service whether
through an MVNO or direct, the coverage differences between carriers are
significant in your area <https://i.imgur.com/t8t7Xy2.png>.

Perhaps you'd like to tell us why you denied ever saying that before to the point that you deleted the message in which you first stated that?

The ONLY way that you wouldn't get a military retirement after 20 years is if you got a dishonorable discharge. So that pretty much shows you for what you actually are. No wonder you've haven't returned to the States.

Try going to iCloud.com from a PC.

For lock mode to work the Find my iPhone option has to be enabled. Then
once it’s lost you can activate lock mode from another IOS device directly
or your iCloud account online. You can also remotely wipe the data etc.

That's what I did to test Lost Mode. I used my Windows PC. iCloud sent a
2FA code in order to log into iCloud to activate "Lost Mode." The code
showed up on my iPhone and iPad.

If my iPhone were lost, and I didn't have another Apple device, or if
the other device was not available at the time, I would not be able to
activate Lost Mode. But iCloud did let me use find my iPhone even
without entering the 2FA code. I guess this is a marketing tool,
encouraging iPhone owners to buy more Apple devices!

The other thing you can do on the iPhone is to put your contact
information into your Medical ID. The Medical ID can be viewed without
unlocking the iPhone as long as whoever finds it knows how to get to it
(swipe up, click on "Emergency" then click on "Medical ID"), but I'd
wager that other than emergency personnel, not many iPhone users know
about this (or have ever entered any information into their Medical ID).

In any case, I went and created wallpaper with my contact information.
used Microsoft Paint, setting the width and height to the pixel count of
my phone's screen, see <https://i.imgur.com/nj1qrzt.png>.

It's annoying that the more expensive iPhones have a poorer and less
flexible implementation than Android devices, requiring the kludge of
creating custom wallpaper to do something that is easily accomplished on
Android.

Amazing. None of the Google Images photos of the lock screen on
phones equipped with in-display fingerprint sensors seem to show the
carrier's name on the lock screen:
<https://www.google.com/search?q=in-display+fingerprint+lock+screen&tbm=isch>
I'm really starting to wonder if you own a smartphone?
Did you find the maker and model number of your phone yet?

Note that in 2015, Google and Verizon did add "VERIZON WIRELESS" on
the top line of the lock screen:
<https://community.verizon.com/t5/Samsung-Galaxy-S-Series/how-do-i-remove-the-VERIZON-WIRELESS-banner-from-the-lock-screen/td-p/729229>
Skimming the forums, there were quite a few complaints because it made
a mess of the icons displayed on the same line. In about 2018, when
phones appeared with a "notch" in the same area, Google shrank the
size of the icons and Verizon re-inserted their name in the upper left
corner on some phones. Of the 15 phones with a notch reviewed by
CNET, only one (Apple iPhone XR) had Verizon on the lock screen:
<https://www.cnet.com/pictures/phones-with-notches/3/>
More recent images of the iPhone XR do not have Verizon on the lock
screen. Besides, the iPhone XR does not have an in-display
fingerprint sensor, so you probably don't have one.

After John spent ALL of that time saying that he never said that he hadn't drawn his military retirement, he said it again. Just like you - he is a complete moron. You don't "draw" a retirement, as long as the service has your bank account number it is put into your account automatically. The ONLY way you can't draw your retirement pay is if you DIDN'T put in 20 or 30 years or you had a dishonorable discharge.

An John DENIED that a B50 was a B29-D with no changes at all - renamed ONLY to get an extended contract. We also had John say that he was in Vietnam proper when there were NO bomber bases there whatsoever.

Looks to me like all of you big mouthed idiots have to say is lies. Does that somehow make you feel important when everyone can see right through them?

On the lock screen on my Samsung Galaxy Note 9, the lock screen says
Verizon in the upper left hand corner. But the phone is on an MVNO, Red
Pocket, using the Verizon network. Contacting Verizon with the IMEI or
the SIM card number would not help someone that found my phone get it
back to me.

The lock screen on my iPhone Xr shows "TFW" in the upper left hand
corner. That phone is on a Tracfone brand, Total Wireless. Again, there
is really no way someone could get that phone back to me just by knowing
the SIM card number or the IMEI, since Tracfone customer support would
almost certainly be unwilling to do anything to track down the owner.

Bottom line is that it's a good idea to put some contact information on
the lock screen of your phone.

Android: Settings > Lock Screen > Contact Information then enter up to
65 characters

iOS: Create lock screen wallpaper (see
<https://www.lifewire.com/add-contact-info-to-lock-screen-wallpaper-1701950>).

You lie (again). I never referenced a wccftech.com URL. The only

posting (and probably this reply):
<https://groups.google.com/g/rec.bicycles.tech/search?q=wccftech.com>
Post the message ID or Google Groups link that points to where I

or VZW on any screen.

>Does that somehow make you feel important when everyone can see right through them?

I doubt that anyone in RBT, except perhaps you Tom, has the need to
feel important. As long as someone can answer the questions, solve
the problems, and effectively defend their point of view, it doesn't
matter if they are or are not an important person. I tend to judge
people by their willingness and ability to learn new things. You fail
that test miserably. If you must feel important, then do something
important that you can be proud of, instead of lying about things
which never happened.

What I find sad is that you undermine your own efforts to become
important. Your posting are littered with multiple questionable
"facts" and unsubstantiated opinions. All it takes is reading,
research, background knowledge, logic and your "facts" become less
factual. When you are challenged or asked for details, your tendency
to evade the problems and change the subject adds even more doubt as
to your knowledge and importance. In other words, I don't need to do
anything to trash your credibility. I just point out the problems
with your "fact" and you do the rest.

Before your head explodes, please answer a simple question. Why do
you need to feel important? What benefits do being important bring to
you? I see nothing of value to be gained by attracting attention.
What do you see that I seem to have missed?

So you are so far gone that you cannot even reference your own posting just one above mine? <https://www.google.com/search?q=in-display+fingerprint+lock+screen&tbm=isch> All over that page is the sort of thing I was talking about and YOU can't find it? Are you blind? Stupid? Or just stupid blind?

I don't need to feel important you slimy bag of shit - I had all of that I need. I have a dozen companies a day asking me if I'd like to go to work in Illinois, Texas and now even Nevada for Tesla. I don't wish to work any more and be faced with "educated" morons that can't write a program to spell their own names. Intel would like me to design some microcontrollers for them but that is so time consuming I do not wish to. I would have to relearn all of the modern chip design software.

It is some piece of human garbage like you that imagines that I have any care to be important and face an entire company and the workers there depending on me to keep their jobs. This is your imagination just like Jay's sick imagination that after saying that I was slow and got a head start on some guy 50 years younger than me and he couldn't catch me until I hit a light that I was saying I was fast and not that he was slow. Neither of you apparently can read the English language. So perhaps we should send you where they can speak your language? Say the pit at San Quinton?

I'm still waiting for you to explain why you said that a B50 was different than a B29D

Ah Tommy! Your reading comprehension is very near zero, isn't it. In a
recent post where the subject being discussed was why a 17 year old
boy would travel to another town to defend a car dealer you interject
a comment about the German offensive into Holland some 80 years in the
past.

No Tommy, when you quit school before graduating you did the right
thing as obviously school wasn't going you any good, why, you can't
even comprehend what is written down for all the rest of the world to
see.

Didn’t you get an option to send the 2FA code via email or a different SMS
number?

No such option. This is what I get <https://i.imgur.com/sXinp23.jpeg>.

Just checked with iCloud. You’re right there’s no longer an option for
email when configuring 2FA. But you can set multiple phone numbers either
SMS or voice.

Really no need since most phones allow incoming calls without security measures.

True. I just went in and added a second phone number just in case. But
now that I did custom lock screen wallpaper my contact information is
always visible.

Gavin Newsom gets the credit. Newsom released criminals back onto the
streets after his Recall Election.

"In Oakland, the six members of the City Council that voted to defund
their police department responded with deafening silence."

Recall/replace ALL "six members of the City Council" in Oakland.

The problem with that is that most of the honest people that wouldn't take those offices simply to loot the treasury are now gone. Some of the strongest Democrats I know have deserted the sinking ship. Even ex-governor Brown who lived in that Castle on that Private street a couple of blocks away from the fire station on Skyline Blvd. Has moved to east of Sacramento. The entire bay area is no longer livable to the common man.

Oh, wait, telling things the way they are to Frank is "whining". Hey Franks give me your address so that I can give you something to whine about. I will post your address in the local papers along with your description of your area and Biden will send in thousands of illegals for you to feed and house.

Complaining about it here while doing nothing to better your
circumstances is pretty stupid, Tom. You're just adding to your misery
while displaying it to everyone else.

As I recall, Andrew decided his shop's area was no longer desirable. He
moved.

I once worked in a distant state where I was unhappy with the culture
and the climate. I moved.

You need to man up and get out of that hellhole.

Tell me what you know about where I live Frank. How long did you live here? Or are you inventing things in your imagination because those are the sort of sick dream worlds you live in? I bet you couldn't live here for 2 days without getting killed. But no one bothers me. My neighbors are illegals and they now speak as good English as you do. Of course that isn't saying a great deal since you seem to think that typos are the worst thing possible while you continually make last grammatical errors.

You are such a fool I can only think that you never had any children. Your comments about the world would be to put children on ropes pulling large stone blocks to make a new Great Pyramid to honor communism.

I'm basing my advice on what you have told us, Tom. If it's not the
stinking stable of misery you keep talking about, stop the whining.

If it is as bad as you say, man up and better your circumstances.

You make yourself look like a powerless fool.

Far better you move out of the hell hole you live in Frank. Why did the college you supposedly teach in not offer a PhD program for engineering students?
