It's 106 miles to Chicago: Hosted by Old Pio

Re: It's 106 miles to Chicago: Hosted by Old Pio

I have not and will not (with this one exception) post on this thread. Any post attributed to me has been moved here by someone pretending to be me, which is in violation of USCHO rules. It's also arrogant and childish. While you're within your rights to object to my posting gangsta gun crime statistics from Chicago, you're not within your rights to move my posts or pretend that you're me. I'd recommend that you cut it out.

Only a board moderator can move your post. And this is a privately owned forum, so your "rights" here aren't so much rights as permissions granted by the site's owners and operators.

"12 is about as old as I can handle. . .I love them 6,7,8." Online chat apparently quoting a former Illinois legislator, who resigned "suddenly," and is facing serious criminal charges for sexual abuse of little girls. Did I mention Abraham Lincoln came from Illinois?

Nah, not in the loop area.



The floor is (from what I read and remember) made of three layers of glass and combined is almost two inches thick. It was the top layer inside the building that cracked.

One article I saw said it was designed to break that way and didn't pose harm to the rest of the structure (but people shouldn't use it while it's cracked). Obviously a simplified explanation.

My uninformed opinion is the top layer is like hockey glass, was tempered and fractured due to small scratches in the surface. The guys who were on it prior had something in their shoes (sharp rocks), on their pants (bent/broken metal rivet), or were wearing jewelry (watch/rings) which caused the scratch. I saw that the park service makes observers on the Grand Canyon's glass bridge wear booties to prevent scratches.

Another article I read (Gawker? Deadspin?) had comments from people who said all they do is see people and kids jumping up and down in the boxes to see "just how strong it is." :rolleyes:

Point of info: The glass bridge at the Grand Canyon is outside the park and is privately owned and operated.

The reality is that blacks are 13% of the population and half of all homicide victims—90% of whom are killed by other blacks.

and so of course Al Sharpton is in Chicago today, highlighting this problem, right? :(



Today's ghetto culture not only indulges criminal behavior but celebrates it. And so-called black leaders are much more interested in making excuses for this behavior than they are in denouncing it unequivocally. It was not always thus.

Here's Martin Luther King quoted in Harper's Magazine in 1961. "Do you know that Negroes are 10 percent of the population of St. Louis and are responsible for 58% of its crimes? We've got to face that. And we've got to do something about our moral standards," he said. "We know that there are many things wrong in the white world, but there are many things wrong in the black world, too. We can't keep on blaming the white man. There are things we must do for ourselves."

Not that it should matter, yet somehow it does, to some folks here......the author cited above is black.
