Well we don't vote cops into service, it's not up to the general public who gets to be a cop. I'm not sure what your snarky comment is supposed to imply.
I was pulled over once near a gas station, so I pulled into the lot to get off of the street. When I pulled up, I got out of my car to talk to the officer. He FREAKED out, pulled out his gun, and told me to put my hands on my head and lay on the ground.
After he patted me down I asked him what the fuck was the problem. My license was expired. He told me not to get out of the car in the future because that makes them 'nervous'.
And why would they look for the 1 illegal German immigrant and not the 500,000 illegal Mexican ones? Read that again, 500,000. German immigrants aren't the problem.
I work at a gas station part time. We just got a new computer system and I was appalled to see that when we printed off the numbers for the day, the credit/debit card numbers for each transaction are listed with the name on the card and expiration date. Although we do hold on to them for 7 years and then they are sent to the main office for another 8, it seems pretty damn sloppy to me.
Like I said, if our entire economy is based on a couple shitty car manufacturers, we're already fucked. I'm a musician/artist anyway with a minimum wage part time job, I'll be fine;)
Considering that cars are one of the few products that are still manufactured in the US, I'd say it could be a bad thing. A country that thinks that it can survive on imports without making anything itself is going to get exactly what it deserves: bankrupcy.
It'll only accelerate the inevitable... a country that thinks it can survive by producing shitty products that get 1/2 the mileage, and 1/2 the mpg of imports gets it exactly what it deserves.
This comment really struck me. Normally this quote is followed by a sarcastic or mocking comment. I never realized how embarrassed and shitty I've felt about my country's policies over the last 10 years or so.
Well then you must be from the asshole generation where you don't want to share with your neighbor and everyone has to have a hard life to be a good person.
I'm in a band and the one thing that really makes it hard to play well, or at least enjoy playing the show, is an unresponsive crowd.
I could be totally off base here, but I'm guessing that the prof's need feedback too. If they see every face in the classroom looking emotionless at their laptops, the prof's have no idea if anyone is listening at all. Obviously it's the students' money to burn etc. etc. But it would probably make it hell to teach a class to essentially nobody.
Who wants to bet that employers will just have a paper form to check off that they looked at your card rendering all the bio stuff useless?
The only reason I mention that is because a social security card is also 'required' for employment, although I lost mine when I was a kid and have never shown it to any of my employers.
Not to worry, churches have been doing it to them as well for quite some time. Trying to introduce my friends to classical music, they ALWAYS say "Aw man, why are we listening to church music?" What's even funnier is that it's only the religious ones who say that.

If you were to only identify things by how they look, yes.
For example, dogs bark and cat's meow.

Don't get out of your car.

It's not racism, it's reality.

Take away their pay and call them 'interns'.
Giggitygiggity!
Walking free is also a right, yet many people get life sentences.
That has got to be the stupidest thing I have ever heard.

the judge said that the government was liable to pay them damages
#1 Who is this Mr. Government?
#2 Where does this Mr. Governments income come from?
I see.
This isn't justice, it's a fucking joke. How apt for Apr. 1st.
I hope the Yale Delays that Gmail now has doesn't affect my account!
Great post, that is a very interesting way to think about it. A fun mind experiment for sure.
Do you really think it's self-righteous, hedonistic, and narcissistic to have sex? It's how you got here.
Live a little!

So thanks for that, that somehow made my day.

Imagine buying the White Album and finding Green Day tracks spliced in to 'fill in' what The Beatles meant to do.
I don't think I'll see either of them out of principle.
Can you link an article for your WWII anecdote? Never heard about that, would be interested to read more.
Our customers are becoming more and more tech-savvy
Then why the hell are they still using checks?
This is like adding a tow package to the front of your car so you can pull it with a team of sled dogs.
Why don't they just scan the whole face?
As if the nose were more unique than the rest of the face plus the nose.

I tell them I forgot it and they never ask again.
