I know of and have heard of several people that have had there guns taken in traffic stop's. The guns were legal and registered but were taken even after they let the people go. Officers are supposed to give a receipt for these guns and sometimes they do and then people have to go to court and try and get the gun some are not givin receipts and the guns are never turned in and kept. If more responsible trained gun owners were out there criminals would think a little more before committing crime. Just my opinion and I know if will get flamed but there it is.

Smoking is a addiction, people will do it till they die, some will reach a point where they can and try to quit but for most like all addictive drugs it does not matter what it said they will not quit. I have a co worker whom I consider very intelligent, He knows what the risks are, I talked about it a bunch of time with him but he refuses to quit, he is addicted and has no control. The government makes many substances illegal because it think they are dangerous to the public's heath. Cigarettes are not on that list because they make a ton of money for corporations,the government, and individuals. To me that means our government makes money off of killing Americans. Sounds a bit intense I know but it is true. This August I will have quit smoking for 2 years and it is and was the toughest thing I have ever had to do. Smoking is one of many things we need to put in the past, it's not as fast as putting a gun to your head but it is the same thing.

Been riding a motorcycle all my life and have had time on scooters as well. True is most don;t see peeps on 2 wheels. Sad thing is people make their bikes loud to be obnoxious but in fact most people make their bikes loud so they are heard. On two wheel you will get pushed out of your lane, ignored, blown off and many more things. People in general tend to only pay attention to their own universe. If you ride on 2 wheels, ride like everyone wants to hit ya. Scooter are cool fun things but ya would not catch me on one anymore because of the way people drive. I need HP to get out of the way or sound to warn people I'm around. Sorry bout your accident and hope you guys have a full recovery.

I'm sure not all of them are like the bunch I ran into on Carrolton today. My god a group of 15 or so that had no idea how to properly use lanes and move through them. Spread out from Canal to Earhart almost causing a couple accidents by cutting cars off and moving through all three lanes in full traffic.

I have found over the years that most people are moving away from religion. I have also found that most people that don't claim to be a christian are generally good people. They tend to be educated people and follow their own code of what they feel to be good and right. I work at a place where most people are good god fearing people and the claim to be Christians but lieing when it suits their needs is just fine with them. I've seen them get in to fights and there is a lot of theft. You Christians can have and keep you god and everything that goes along with him or it or whatever sex you associate it with. I'll keep my beliefs to myself and you can keep yours. Thanks anyway though.

I see people all the time talking on cell phones and it causes a big distraction, much bigger then changing a station on the radio etc. Comparing it to a professional driver using a CB is ridiculous. Take a second to actually look for cell phone drivers and pay attention to the way they drive People on the highway driving 45 or 50 in a 60 plus zone. This is a law that will cut down on accidents.

Real simple solution, let the bar owners apply for smoking or non smoking business licenses. Then let the customer and the employee decide where they want to go and work. Or..... make a substance that kill illegal as it should be. Oh wait there's to many people including our government making money on addicted people that this thing kills.

Buyum and fix them or shut the hell up HBO.

It's a issue of sexism. Why a girl can have long hair and a boy can't, if the table were turned it would be treated differently. Culture may have a hand in this as well but there is no reason a boy should be required to have short hair and a girl is not. Anyone arguing against is stuck in the past

OK so your saying its ok to beat someone if they cheat on ya? Is that true for men and women or just when a man cheats on a women? because in either case violence isn't the answer.

Coming from a guy who miss quotes people on a regular basis and doesn't seem to care if his story is correct I think this confirms that he has issues.Commenting to the how hard is is to be creative on command post, welcome to the real world where we all have to do things on command.

At some point people need to stand on their on two feet. We are approaching the three years since the storm hit and I am one of the people that lost everything. My house was insured and I rebuilt it, not a palace but better than before. I payed rent till I could get back in my house and worked hard and saved as much as I could. Didn't apply for road home money cause I thought I'd leave it for people that really needed it. Plain and simple if your not disabled or elderly by this time you should be some what back on your feet. Shame on you if your just taking a ride.

When is the race card going to stop being put out. This city needs any good honest hard working people of any race. There are people in the city of all races and backgrounds trying to make New Orleans intop a great place to live again again. Unfortunately there are also s ton of people killing, stealing, and committing many different crimes here too as well as people asking for hand outs. I say we reward the good hard working honest people of the community and work together by standing by our neighbors in the areas we live in. Watch out for each other and lend a hand when we can. Stop bitchin and do something and screw the UN.

A lot of the stories are true and the race card has been way over played. White or black the powers in control droped the ball for both. Tailors and the road home moneys were handled in a very bad way as was the response to the storm. All this trash talk does nothing, we need put pressure on our elected officials. I know plenty of black and white people still trying to get the road home money and some are still paying a mortgage while living in a trailer. How do you decide who gettin over and who really still needs the trailers? Its a big problem and all this energy could be spent figuring the problem out rather then a verbal slam fest.
