Ask an American....

that's a perspective of hawaii you don't hear/see much of.

 

never thought that stuff went down. watching dog the bounty hunter is the closest i've ever been to hawaii.

 

you watch dog? First off.. blech.. secondly.. Yea.. thems my peeps. Those guys they're chasing, probably an honest 30% of the population. There's a lot of rich people here, most not year round. A decent middle class and whatever you call infantry and fleet sailors.

I have been here 10 years. Or just about. Have not set foot off the island, not really. Costs a lot of money, I hate flying (cramped, not fall out of the sky type) and a $2000 ticket isn't exactly a durable good. And like I said earlier. It's just torture to visit and have to come back, well now that I live in the "city". When i lived in the so-called "country", it was fairly relaxing. But I had a better job at the time too.

 

i just watch dog because its so dumb and staged

 

YEa, its like magnum PI. They drive in all the wrong directions to get to a place. Everything is "up H1" why you showin me pictures of them driving down the strip.

I bet its not too staged though, looks real to me, I mean, interestingly edited to make it look other than it is, but the people are genuinely like that here.

Last time my house was broken into (nothing stolen) when I called the police they transferred me to the theft division or whatever, the detective said... and I quote "well, if nothing was taken, it's not really a crime ya?"

Time before that (something was stolen so a cop showed up) the cop said.. and this is actually the cop, not some gun crazy hillbilly, a japanese american cop... "next time, shoot em and drag em in the garage and put a screwdriver in his hand and say he came at you. That's what I'd do"

Then he went on to say how frustrated he was, if I had cornered the guy and he admitted stealing and all, there's nothing he could do. HE can arrest him, but they're full on holding, so they go on bail (see dog) then they don't show, and the police don't look for em. If they do show, they ALWAYS get probation for theft because there's only so many jail cells on the island. THey send bad guys off to the mainland, but people hate that because they get killed like 10 times more frequently than anyone else. No racial groups to hang out with I guess. Oh yea, and it's cruel and unusual to remove a Filipino from hawaii. Apparently the mainland is too scary for them or something. Oh and Filipino means hawaiian here for some reason.

 

the one episode i remember was dog looking for some guy and they lived in a tent in a tent city. it was pretty wild.

 

yea.. down in aiea. Right off the bike trail. I KIND of like to ride on that trail. No where else to ride.

But, there's trucks and motorcycles driving down the bike trail (clearly marked and gated) squatter houses, pit bulls, tent cities, the whole place smells like human waste.

There's a lot of tent cities and squatter communities.

You all ought to come out for a Vaycay. Free squatting and just steal from sizzler for supper.

 

all right here is my question : Which state has the cheapest tobacco prices and what is the cost of a sleeve of chewing tobacco tins cost down there.

 

indian reservations, non casino ones ;p

He does kind of have a ted nugent vibe.

Intensity in tent cities

 

Why did Americans invade Hawaii ?

 

the women didn't have shirts before we got here.

But seriously, pretty sure it was "invaded" before there was an america.

Interestingly enough, a lot of the local white folk tried to keep america out. Cause america would take away their slaves.. er something like that. Then the portugee came. Dr Sun yatsen (孙中山）grew up here. His brother was the "king of maui". Big chinese slave importer. Kicked his brother back to china when he started admiring abraham lincoln too much, brought revolution to china. Didn't quite work out like he planned though.
So.. Abraham Lincoln is the father of Communist China. DOes that answer your question?

There's a good documentary on it shows up occasionally on discovery/history channel.

 

Why is it illegal for women to be topless in public in the US ?

 

Its not Depending on locality.

New york made it legal in something like 1994.. boobs showed up on tv.. though only when clinically portrayed back in the early 90s too.
EDIT: I take that back. Must have been much ado about a proposed bill. Can't expose the part of the breast below the areola unless performing or breastfeeding. So, carry some music and they can go topless.

EDIT EDIT: but there was a court case that was won that said that a woman CAN bare her chest anywhere a man would be expected to do so.
SO.. not a law, a precedent

 

Would I want to see the AVERAGE American womens knockers ?

 

when did hawaii become a state?

 

1959 HAd a muted celebration a couple years ago.

 

what was it before?

 

Why are you ignoring my question?
