No Texas just requires you to show an ID to vote.  Nice little move by the Republicans to disenfranchise those individuals who have a hard time obtaining an ID, or no longer have a need for one.
Yep, wouldn't want to disenfranchise the illegals, funny how that fight is coming from Washington and not from the people here. I'm not sure why your upset, as of yesterday gays have the right to ft married here in Texas. I figured you'd be out celebrating.

Maybe we should stop requiring id for alcohol, marijuana, and gun purchases.
Not sure what point you're trying to make (as usual, except to incite some controversial rhetoric yet again).

I'll take your removal of ID to purchase anything, and give you -

"Let's abolish the ability of religious groups to push their agendas on anyone who doesn't believe in their ideologies."

Oh wait, there's that "right vs. privilege" thing.


So we continue playing your little game - the reason for requiring ID's to purchase those items, along with other items like cigarettes, is because multiple studies have shown that certain age groups in our society are unable to control themselves, or have the maturity levels when it comes to the consumption or usage of these products. The tolerance levels of alcohol consumption for a 10 year old are quite different from someone whose 19 or 20. They also don't have the experience or maturity to know when it's time to stop, or the medical affects of drinking excessive alcohol at a young age. Gun purchases? What the heck. Just make them standard issue when someone turns 10. Have an argument with a playmate on the playground? Just put a bullet in their head. That'll resolve the conflict. Everyone packs like the Old West. We can designate areas in each city for shootouts when it comes to conflict resolution. Get into a road rage incident? Drive over to the OK Corral in your neighborhood, walk 10 paces each direction, and let the fastest draw continue down the road. Want that new Mercedes on the car lot? Grab your AK and give it your best shot to drive off before the car salesman can pull out his AR.

There are a lot of You Tube videos on this.   I didnt think you were required to provide them with ID unless they acuse you of a violation.  The cops have far to much authority today since they know they cannot be sued as individuals for malpractice, are rarely sued as a dept and are promoted based on the # of arrests they make,  the camera is leveling the playing field although many dont like being filmed one has the constitutional right to do so.  The police seem to have forgot who they work for. 
They work for beaurocrats, not the citizens. Cops down here are some real jerks. Should have seen them jerking these kids out of their car the other day. Ridiculous. They weren't even resisting.

Even the homeless need an ID to get a link card. Drug addicts need an ID to get their Methadone. Ask me how I know? I volunteer at food pantries and soup kitchens.

If you no longer have a need for an ID, it's probably because your living off the grid because you have something to hide or your totally anti disestablishment and want to hide from "the man" or an illegal alien. In which case the latter should be deported.

If we spent as much money on border protection and immigration as we do on "The War on Drugs", unemployment would drop dramatically and as a domino effect there would be more spending by the consumer and this recession would be over.

You can make the argument that a lot of people don't want to work but there are plenty of people that do and can't find work.

But that's a whole different topic for another thread.

Just a thought.

You need an ID to get into the building where your Senator or Congressman has their field office. What is so outrageous about having to show ID to vote for them. You have to show ID to board a plane, rent a hotel room, have a bank account etc. If you are too stupid to obtain the free ID Texas gives out you are too stupid to be voting in the first place.

That's how incompetent you are regarding that slick move by the Republicans. Yea, all those elderly people and individuals who live in urban areas are all "disenfranchised illegals". Include all the dead voters in your conspiracy theories while you're at it.

Nothings changed in Texas regarding same-sex marriages. Wheelchair Willie will do everything under his pulpit power to fight that battle. It'll end up in the SCOTUS before any marriages are performed here. Hopefully it will pass, and all the homophobes in this state will pack up and move out.

I voted for over 55 years with the Voters Registration Card my county issued every year with no issues or problems. So did millions of other voters in this state. Boarding a plane, renting a hotel room, and having a bank account is a privilege. Voting is a Constitutional right. The only "stupid" voters I know are the one's that walk into the polls and simply push the button "Vote Republican Party" and walk out the door, clueless of knowing who they just voted for.

If you want to debate that go ahead. start your own discussion.

So you are saying those things protect the population and minimize crime to a degree?

The majorty here support your right to marry so it's only a matter of time. Corpus is actually a pretty gay friendly city. Perhaps not back in your day. Why are you so angry? lol.

Dude, I don't know where you got the notion that I'm gay. My wife of 25 years may disagree with you.

I'm not angry at all. Just get frustrated when people like you make ridiculous inferences that you have no evidence to back your claims to support them.

It's alright if your gay or bisexual what ever works for you. Thats your business. Many have the evidence provided to them by their own experiences.

How can people stop the police from overstepping their bounds since they are immune from individual lawsuits and dont normally get fired?
