looking for trouble

Looking for trouble. An assumption of guilt. If it is a voluntary compliance that is being sought after then why are we hindering peoples travels?

i am sure that the majority of people are in compliance and move on their way with just a small discomfort of being interrupted. sadly those sheeple are making like harder for everyone.

just because it’s a legal ruling doesn’t mean that it’s right. that just means that the court said it’s okay.

fact is that the ‘safety checks’ or whatever they are currently labeled are an intrusion.

fact is that once a police officer engages you in any contact you in today’s time must consider yourself under arrest until he decides you aren’t and allows you to leave.

the fact is they are at least 2-3 steps ahead in aggression just by having the gun, taser, knight stick, cuffs, armor vest and badge. at the onset of any engagement. otherwise police presence wouldn’t be a deterrent.

are all cops bad? of course not. are all citizens bad? not even close. are there a lot of situations that go bad because humans are invovled? you better believe it.

the people must stand. without standing together as we haven’t for a long time we will be completely powerless. we are close that point now. the people we elect are corrupted by money and power, for a long time they have not represented the peoples needs. the sheriff’s in Jacksonville are a great example of this. we are forced to choose between the perceived lessor of two evils. most of the time we are deceived and led astray.

some support

Filed under: Uncategorized — bricepruitt @ 10:21

UPDATE:

Okay they tried to ship the watch and low and behold it has arrived in pristine order. Folks this is great. I am very excited and happy to see this watch it is even better in person than it is in pictures.

Okay i had to call to get them to try it but they are going to try and send my watch via UPS. they don’t advertise it but ups will get the package to NewJersey and had it off to the USPS for me. So here’s hoping.

Seriously

Guess it’s a good thing that the US military provides the right for companies to be completely non supportive. even of the military itself.

No support for their customers or countrymen

I love watches. Positively love them. There are some good values in watches to be had out there. Fossil is one. I have bought i think 4-5 fossil watches over the years. My best friend has been into Invicta watches for a while and has tried to get me to buy. Well i did. bought one off of a website i found sharkstores.com and another from amazon. now both of those places shipped straight to me no problem. I found on the Invicta website they have a deal thing called the Sunday Run. I sign up. Watch comes along that I really like they list it MRSP $595 sake for $89.00 + 0.01S/H. I buy the watch. Next day $$ is gone from account. Then I get the emails listed below. I gotta tell ya I really like Invicta watches. Alot great quality good fit and finish nice movement good designs.

Understand that I work in logistics and have for most of my adult life in one capacity or another. I have never not once made any one shipper an exclusive point of service as there isn’t one that can truly do it all.

granted i am just a contractor but if they won’t ship to APO/FPO then they wont’ ship to the soldiers sailors airmen or marines and that is the biggest load of bullshit i have seen in a long time. it’s not like they are standing on a trade agreement or similar import/export complication. no instead they are to effin lazy to use the USPS.

at this point i will not buy another of their watches from anywhere you folks make your own choice as to what you will do. regardless of war or peace this company won’t send to the military at all through the APO/FPO. funny thing is that UPS will send they charge more but they will do it and when they do all they do is drop it into the USPS mail stream at a designated point.

Dear Valued Customer,

Thank you for your time in placing an order at the Sunday RUN. Unfortunately, the address that we have is incomplete. Would it be possible that you forward your complete US physical address?

Best regards,
Roxsana

Kevin,

I apologize but we do not ship overseas. By any chance do you have a US physical address to send your watch?

Best regards,
Roxsana

Roxana,

That is considered a US address. All mail is handled by the USPS and the US military mail systems. As i am working on a US controlled base.

Kevin,

I understand but unfortunately we send the package UPS not USPS(Regular Mail). I will speak once again with our shipping department to see how much it will cost to send this UPS. I will keep you posted.

Best regards,
Roxsana

Kevin,

I confirm with our shipping department and they advise me that they are not able to send it by USPS> It has to go by UPS because we if sent it by Regular mail and it gets lost we are not in charge of that, in the other hand we do not want to take the risk. I apologize for the inconvenience about this.

* You don’t have an alternate address?

Best regards,
Roxsana

Roxana,

In the agreement i made with Invicta upon purchase shipping would be $0.01 there was no mention of exclusions for APO/FPO addresses. Also the billing/shipping information system accepted the information without hesitation. Which is in general an indication of doing business with an APO/FPO address. If the watch cannot be shipped per the original terms then there is no need to ship it at all. A full and prompt refund will be in order. This situation of even hasseling someone over seas that is serving this country at all is down right distasteful and will be noted. Which is really a shame because i really like Invicta watches and many of my collegues are really interested in purcahsing but now with this potential lack of support and regard I seriously doubt that will happen.

jackson is dead

that really does suck. say what you will about the accusations but the fact is he was/is an absolute legend.

step forward iraqis

Filed under: Uncategorized — bricepruitt @ 10:53

Iraq is one step closer today closer to what has yet to be seen. they are still killing each other. why not pull out let it fall to civil war they can kill each other and then we go get the oil. seems like a much cheaper and easier strategy to me.

Why are we giving aid to this country to begin with? Oh right to help fight a pointless ‘war on drugs’ wtf ever. look what our money has bought us nothing good that seems for certain. military there doesn’t have to obey the law or the leader of the nation. how about that. just now we are thinking about cutting aid. how about we cut it and get a refund of what hasn’t been spent there yet. trillions down i know it may seem like a drop in a sea of cash it has to stop somewhere. why not here?
