Sure, but then there's the reverse. Last week, little Tommy took his dad's gun and went outside where little Joey was playing on the swings, pulled it out, and said "If you ever give me a wedgie again, I'll use this!"... and then he ran home and put it back. Now every day at school, little Tommy smiles and does a finger-gun at little Joey. Little Joey is terrified and pees his pants several times, but won't tell anyone why because he's afraid Tommy will shoot him. Doesn't seem like such an unreasonable rule now, does it?
well, to be fair, i see nothing wrong with what tommy did. If joey is harassing him, hes gotta do what hes gotta do. if that means instilling fear in his bully (because thats what joey is, in your story, a bully) to keep him from harassing him, good for tommy! Fuck joey, why do we care if joey is hurt by the actions of the person that he was being a bully to?
SOME people would actually make those claims. and they wouldnt be totally wrong. when one is driving they should be payig attention to driving. Driving has become very commonplace, and thats a good thing. However there is a reason that hi-po cars generally dont have cup holders or other distractions. the car, and the information pertaining to driving the car really are all that should matter to a driver.
but this is the real world, people do other things while driving. as such everyone should be driving as if the person in front of them, behind them, and driving towards them is going to kill them. defensive driving is the most important thing IMO when it comes to driving.
cant watch TV and read at the same time? maybe you cant but its really not that hard (well, if you are watching something you always watch its easy enough to not worry about the visuals and have the audio take care of the important stuff)
the "total cost to society" is one of those things that to me anyway, is no different than "wont someone think of the children!"
plain and simple, we should not outlaw "darwin awards", if people want to kill themselves by doing something stupid, good for them, in fact i encourage it, the planet has to many people on it as it. (and yes I know some will say they are putting others at risk.....but)
but plain and simple, we are allowed to do many things in the car legally we should not be doing, shaving, putting on makeup, hell even reading a map or newspaper! if the law says one cannot make calls and text, than thats what they cannot do. Do the logs show a call or a text send within 1-4 minutes of being stopped? if not, there is NO reason said driver should be charged guilty for breaking a law that he did not in fact break. a modern smartphone is just a computer, that has a radio in it. it not a phone that "can do other stuff" and should be treated as such per the law.
having said that, i am also a firm believer that GPS should not be able to be accessible while driving. meaning if the device is in motion, you should not be able to fiddle with the device, cell phone or standalone, set it before you leave the driveway/parking lot and be done with it.
Yeah, and those of us in the hudson valley get it the worst. We get some 40% of the money we ship up north and down to the city living here. The bridges always have toll increases, eventhough its never to help our bridges its all for city bridges or the tapan zee. It does suck paying for the city when I dont even use it.
I dont see the difference... Either way an officer is stoping something before it happens, not knowing exactly what is going to happen. I dont like that.
except we dont have pre-crime laws, and as such we dont know whatis going to happen at these parties. It is not cool to break up a party for noise, before we know there is noise, what next we arrest people for buying powerful computers because they might start hacking or DDosing websites?
The issue is, unless someone makes a complaint, who is to say said party was "loud"?? we are talking about breaking up parties before they happen, that is the issue at hand
and unless some crime takes place (minus drinking excessively and the possible drug use) it doesnt hurt anyone else, and as such the cops should worry about something else. As a neighbor, why do you care what I do unless i start bothering you directly? if i have 40 cars in my yard, but im not loud enough for you to hear us, why the fuck would you care?
just because YOU think it MIGHT be loud, doesnt mean it will be. so for every 4 hours a cop spends wasting time looking for a loud party to break up (before it has even happened) REAL crime is happening in his district. be it drug sales or muggings, real crime is happening.
on another note, I have gotten PCS over the years that were working but loaded with dust. cleaning it out actually caused them to stop working, most likely due to static. Regularly cleaning them is the best idea (for a PC) but sometimes if it gets REALLY bad, its better to just leave it, in my experience anyway
This issue is (we have been talking about this on autoblog) that the media has the story backwards, claiming that diesel was put in the tank and it is the wrong fuel. however this limo is built on the truck platform and runs the 6.7 litre diesel engine. I have seen numerous articles on the issue since yesterday all saying that its a gas engine however it is not.
in typical/. fashion I didnt RTFA, but i am assuming they have it wrong like every other article so far ive seen
Seriously, for a president who ran on the idea of being the most transparent president in history.... well lets just say that it was opposite day when he made that statement.
i vote for the individual, not the party, just for the record. But i guess WV is just WAY more bumblefuck than I can imagine, because in upstate NY, there really wasnt much racism from the right in the last election at all, I saw way more racists who swung to the left than the right up here.

maybe in canada (based on your name) but in america, lower taxes have nothing to do with the cops on hand.

lemme know when they got the bee robot from the richie rich movie.
CNN wins on the news front, ive been saying that for years but 55% vs 90% it is not even close the difference between fox and msnbc with the opinion.

funny you pick DC, where there is a HANDGUN BAN. Why not pick a location with open carry and compare it to that location???
enjoy your higher crime rate!

I really do not understand how asking for an ID to vote when you need an ID to buy cough syrup is considered voter suppression.
