Texas Drivers Stopped At Roadblock, Asked For Saliva, Blood
schwit1 writes "Some drivers along a busy Fort Worth street on Friday were stopped at a police roadblock and directed into a parking lot, where they were asked by federal contractors for samples of their breath, saliva and even blood. It was part of a government research study aimed at determining the number of drunken or drug-impaired drivers.The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, which is spending $7.9 million on the survey over three years, said participation was '100 percent voluntary' and anonymous. The 'participants' hardly agree."
But those come after the semen and stool samples, right?
The police are unwitting participants in this experiment. Gathering data on intoxication is just the cover story. The real experiment is to see whether Texas is as tough as they talk, or if they're going to bitch out and take this shit. If the result is positive, somebody will roll up to the roadblock with an AR-15 and pop a few skulls. But my money's on the pigs not having anything to worry about, 'cause Texas is full of trash-talkin' BITCHEZZZ!
And most schools have penis inspection day.
Tipping?
Dude! It's doing a wall-walk a-la Trinity from the Matrix!
Chas - The one, the only.
THANK GOD!!!
one - as far as i know cars now officially kill more people than anything else on the planet. more importantly - cars kill more children than anything else on the planet. as far as i know the situation in north america, in particular, suggests that the safest place to be is behind the wheel of an american dream, because - apparently - cars don't usually kill car drivers - just the pink and brown squishy things, the stuff without air bags.
apparently we have evolved into a species of metal beetle brain, and no other form of human - to date - has a better chance of survival.
two - alcohol appears to be the leading factor in cases vehicular death or trauma, and if there is any bias at all, alcohol appears to favour the survival of the driver, over that of the victim(s).
various other intoxicants have a similar, sometimes worse, effect on the body count.
setting all else aside, the simple fact that drunk drivers kill more children than anything else on the planet, indicates that something MUST BE DONE.
but what?
how do we fix this?
Nah, it's full of convicts.
Confucius say, "Find worm in apple - bad. Find half a worm - worse."
If they ask "Do you know why I've stopped you?" do NOT say "Because you thought I had donuts?"
Also, if arrested by a female officer, and she says "Anything you say can and will be held against you." do NOT say "Boobies".
