1. Relocating to South Florida from NYC

   A 2 bed in the city of Boston or NYC is 2500-4k all day. That's a base price. In nice areas, upper end neighborhoods, if you have to ask the price you shouldn't be looking there. Those prices make 4k look like chump change. Not kidding. Avalon in Cam...

2. Concealed Carry...as a nurse?

   michaeljr replied to mcknis's topic in Activism

   I carry daily regardless. Rather have it and not need it, than need it and not have it.

3. Nurse brutally beaten in a Brooklyn Hospital

   michaeljr replied to HGTVrn33's topic in Headlines

   I was actually using the words "old woman" because I wanted to stress just how dire the situation was. Anyone over 65 in a physical confrontation is a recipe for disaster, and I was stressing just how awful the situation was. Stop trying to twist wha...

   And the over 2,000,000 times per hear that guns are used to stop crimes by average citizens? (That's a real number per FBI database, look it up for yourself, inconvenient truth for antis). Rapes, attempted murder, assaults, robbery....just write them...

   So you're not familiar with the real stats behind my opinion are you? Actual numbers, not emotions and knee jerk assumptions based on nothing but fear and misinformation

6. Nurse brutally beaten in a Brooklyn Hospital

   michaeljr replied to HGTVrn33's topic in Headlines

   I'm just stressing the importance of armed individuals in hospital settings. This incident was stopped, thankfully, but next time someone might not be as fortunate. I feel as though this is a perfect time to address a serious concern at hospitals, be...

   I didn't use it as a soapbox, you're twisting my intention to demonize me and my opinion, failed on that. As for radical, you need to do some reading. Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but 88,000,000 Americans disagree with you, and as of late, th...

8. Fired for refusing??

   michaeljr replied to Indyrn00's topic in COVID

   Education and life experience has no bearing on someone's ability to question authority. It's even worse if they have said life experience, and chose not to utilize it. I have a finance background, went to Suffolk. This is a second career choice. Lo...

   Thankfully, he's going to prison. Unfortunately, our prison system is backwards, and he will more than likely slip thru the cracks, being that he's a "victim of circumstance" of the "disease" known as drug abuse. And, how am I a ridiculous human bei...

    michaeljr replied to HGTVrn33's topic in Headlines

    Disrespectful? Really? Where did you come up with this conclusion? Okay...so, you'd rather nobody stop the incident? Supposedly it was the other way around, said maniac has a gun. Are you going to stop this individual with harsh language and prey he ...

    michaeljr replied to HGTVrn33's topic in Headlines

    Judged by 12, or carried by 6. Won't matter if you have a job or face charges if you're not around anymore. I'd rather be breathing and pleading self defense than dead. IMO, concealed means concealed. What they don't know won't hurt them, and it coul...

12. How do we support our mentally ill

    michaeljr replied to MatrixRn's topic in Activism

    Deinstitutionalization was a huge blow. They made mistakes, but were in their early stages. If they turned it around, brought back facilities, we would be heading in the right direction again. We simply don't have coverage or resources.

13. Lifestyle Discrimination

    michaeljr replied to utadahikaru's topic in Activism

    Live and let live. If you're not hurting anyone else, I don't see how your lifestyle has any relevance. That being said, I so believe private entities should be able to hire/fire as they please. Private market has a way of sorting itself out.

    Law doesn't protect us. It's an illusion of safety, nothing more. The implied notion that all people follow laws. Criminals do not, making them criminals. Laws are invisible suggestions that protect you as much as air. They don't stop people. I'm sur...

    I'm fine with open carry too. I think it's completely relevant. Nobody was armed, nobody defended the old woman. If people were Armed, I dare say it would have ended much sooner.
