    Have any of you ever had your ID ran for no reason?

    I always ask cops if i'm being detained and inform them that if I'm not than they have no legal right to ask for my ID. It all depends on how you present yourself and how you talk to them. I've looked crusty as fuck, jacket w/ an Anti-Cop patch on (it was a band from kentucky I saw) and have had...

    Have any of you ever had your ID ran for no reason?

    You're not required to give the cop any info like that unles you're being detained. If they ask for it just ask if you're being detained or arrested and why.

    First-timers: Hitching/hopping to CA from Chi.

    Couchsurfing.org is legit and pretty useful. If you dont mind taking somewhat of a detour you could go south to nola and west from there. Google maps is a great tool, also google shit like "online railroad atlas" etc etc. There's an 06 version of a disorganized cc on piratebay which can be...

    If you do get a dog make sure to take care of it, it comes before your health, enjoyment etc. Its like havin a kid xD If you have an ID than you can go to a animal shelter and get one. Save it from being euthanized etc etc. Honestly though, if you get a dog and you're traveling you still need to...

    What Can We Do To Support Peace?

    I cant stand dogmatic pacificsts. Look at any "great non-violent leader" and whatever social movement they were part of and you'll find that they werent, or the movement succeeded because of violent means.

    - abortion -

    I think people need to stop being so dogmatic about it, happens in the "natural world" all the time. World is over populated anyway, and birth rate needs to go down. People also need to realize that having a child is an economic responsibility as well as a social one. If you cant supply the...

    Any advice on going to Europe? Can you be houseless traveler as in USA?

    Europe is great for traveling, its a lot more socially accepted and some countries even have designated hitchhike spots. I met a guy from latvia a couple weeks ago and he traveled all over europe for the last few years before he headed to the states for a bit.

    looking to make some friends

    Well if you're gonna hit the road than make sure to get good equipment etc. You might be able to make good $ selling art depending where you go. Are you gonna go hitchhiking, rubber tramping, hopping or? If you're completely new to the streets and female I'd suggest finding a road dog to travel...

    Protection?

    Being a bit over the top here, but if you wanted an obnoxious amount of protection you could always turn a sawed off shotgun into an rpg launcher. On a more serious note though you can get a very small .22 handgun.
