  1. Excuse me. What kind of a douche bag are you...

    First off, an outside engineering firm did the analysis for the City:

    "After an engineering consultant hired by the city said that the signals were not needed, Cox and the North Raleigh Coalition of Homeowners' Associations responded with a sophisticated analysis of their own."

    Thus the only "person" whom they are "telling how to do their job" is the engineering consultant. The engineering consultant did not file a complaint.

    Second, no one was telling anyone how to do their job. Their was no questioning of anyone's credentials or qualifications.

    Third, the people rebutted the outside engineering firm's report with a report of their own. FYI if you are going rebut a report your better do more than "we don't agree." This would mean present a professional report which clearly spells out why you disagree and presents supporting evidence for their case.

    Lastly, The city and the state has said NOTHING about the merits of the report. They did not say the report was wrong. They instead attacked the individual filing the report. They attacked the messenger.

    So this is a very big deal for any citizen anywhere that is trying to get their government paid for by tax dollars to service the community.

    Ass hole.

  2. Umm no he doesn't. It again comes down to presenting yourself as a licensed so and so without being a licensed so and so.

    There is no law anywhere that prohibits a private citizen from presenting a professional piece of work.

    Again the proof is in the pudding...."If Cox is found to have practiced engineering without a license, Ritter said, the likely action would be a letter telling him not to do it again."

    So....there is no crime here. Seriously this is clear violation of First Amendment rights.

    You can stop being a douche bag. Just because you don't know how to migrate iTunes doesn't mean the rest of us don't.

    Right...this is the same company that brought you 99 cent songs and got the records companies - who wanted to charge more - to sell music on-line.

    This is also the same company that got Hollywood and Network TV to start selling movies on-line.

    Again, at a low cost to the consumer.

    Umm that's wrong. The Big Bang model holds the universe is of finite size and matter.

    Seriously even if it was infinite in size and matter that does not mean it would repeat itself. It would simply mean the universe would continue to expand.

    Though again, this is wrong.

    Stop being a NASA apologist. NASA has a history of taking risks with people's lives. This was preventable.

    Same thing when the Columbia exploded. NASA kept saying foam hitting underside of the shuttle could not have caused any damage. What did we learn - foam foam hitting underside of the shuttle caused damage.

    "However, my view is that it is down to the parents to do the teaching, and to delegate to schools as they see fit, and also to make up the difference."

    It's called the school board. That's where parents raise issues in regards to what little Johnny is taught in school. And no it's not the responsibility of parents to do the teaching. If it was then kids would be home schooled and I would not have to pay school taxes!

    Umm you are never going to get the Fed to break-up another corporation. They had the perfect opportunity to break up the banks after the economic crisis in 2008. The people were demanding it but there was no political will from either party to do it. So NET Neutrality is your best option. FYI even if you had choice, there would be no guarantee that any company wouldn't throttle back your content. It's much better to protect the consumer by telling companies what they can't do!

    It's amazing that so many people don't know what they are talking about. They read the constitution or so they claim and think, "I know how this works," without reading the relevant laws and court decisions.
