Which are you CJ? Yep, I've always enjoyed whacking the clueless upside the head. I dislike whiners who can do nothing about their favorite moaning topics but more whining. How many years ago was it that you and I first got into it? 5 or 6? At that time, you were bitching about some chick at a gas station who dissed you because you got perverse joy out of circling around to drool over her or something juvenile like that. Somehow, I get the feeling that you have little more than whine about whatever the whole damn time I've been out of this newsgroup. I gave you a solution that was serious. Despite Spike's examples, there are American societies in other countries that may lower your ingestion of Pepto Bismol. A friend of mine who got tired of the L.A. rat race in the 80's moved to Cabo San Lucas, and told me he would never come back here. He didn't speak Spanish at the time, and didn't need to where he went. I'm not staying in this country for my retirement, either. Stop freaking out about everything and learn to see the Big Picture. -- CobraJet |

So it's a bright sunny day on the interstate and everyone is doing 75mph+ and I am supposed to sit there like a stone in the river doing 55mph or less because that's what the sign says? Or are you trying to say that there is another speed limit that lets me do 75mph legally in good conditions like everyone else? Because to tell you the truth, the speed limit on many of the roads I drive, is really about the max one can safely do in a blizzard. >>> The former is a >>> surcharge levied against goods or wages, and disassociated from >>> criminal action.

And he actually fails to knock it down. > Just look at the people who speed to get from > point A to point B compared to those who do not speed, and you see the > time saved is insignificant, so why do they speed? Human nature. Um no. Stop thinking in terms of authority and obedence. let go of that dynamic. The vast majority of people choose safe and reasonable speeds. Study after study after study has shown this. The government sets the speed limit via the 'pull-a-number-out-of-someone's-ass' method or they use the table-method (tables created for a broken down model T and full of assumptions instead of real data) instead of a the best to date engineering method, the 85th percentile method which uses actual data. If proper methods were used, enforcement could be concentrated on the small percentage of drivers where it is actually needed. Instead, officers pick and choose out a population where almost everyone is exceeding the posted limit. >>>> And there's the other risk to the revenue collection.

Oh? We have to be RULED, by other men? By criminal men? Because that is what controlling government attracts like bugs to a light. This is supposed to be a free society where indiviudal liberty is respected, not a controlled society. You want a controlled society, you move to north korea. I want a free one that values individual liberty, and last I checked, the USA was the _ONLY_ nation that was even supposed to be that way. > Obviously, you don't agree with following the rules, I follow them, that's how I know how assinine they are. > even though your actions risk the safety of others. I agree, driving the posted speed limit around here is very risky. According to every study, driving a couple standard devations BELOW the flow speed as I often do translates to much higer collision rates. > Now, if everyone thought the way you do, we'd have total confusion. Have you been following me around when I drive? Obviously not. I follow the vehicle code, even aspects of the vehicle code that even cops don't know, to the letter. > Every society in history has had controls and enforcers. And silly me, all I want is the rules to be match what the vast majority of people in what is supposed to be a free nation that values liberty where representives are elected to follow the will of the people to match the will of the people. Silly me... we're just supposed to obey our slave masters and their hired thugs... > This is not the perfect dream world you would have it be. Because properly setting a speed limit is so damn hard... I mean we've only known how to do it the right way since the 1940s. It's the 21st century and we still do things like it's 1932. > While your driving may be perfect even without following > the rules, all it takes it someone else who is not so perfect, to > smear you and those you love all over the roadway. As if posting 55mph signs instead of 75mph signs is going to change that. Actually, 55mph signs make it much more likely IMO. Because the speed limits are so assinine, so low, people have taken to think the rest of the vehicle code is nonsense too. Underposted speed limits have done a great deal of harm IMO. It's about time to start undoing it. |

How did I know you'd bring that up that old thread to try to save your ass in this thread. Of course you got it entirely wrong just as you did then, your own made up crap is what you consider reality. Anyway, what really happened was someone brought up something similiar so I thought I would relate... wouldn't have mentioned it otherwise. But you had to step in and start being the asshole that you are. This is the here and now, why don't you try in stay in it? Nahh... why do that when you can keep the same crap you were doing 5 years ago going? you can't even stay on the topic, you had to make it a personal love it or leave excerise and find whatever you can to attack. Just another dumb bully who hasn't grown out of the 5th grade. > I gave you a solution that was serious.

Why don't you control freaks pick up and move to China, North Korea, Iran, Cuba, or any number of police states and theoracies around the world where society is tightly controlled if that's what you like. The USA is the only nation that is even supposed to respect invidual liberty. I am in the right place, it's you that's in the wrong one, mr love it or leave it. I love what the USA is supposed to be, why do you want to make it into something else, something I hate, while that can be found elsewhere and all you need to do is move? > Stop freaking out about everything and learn to see the Big Picture. I see the big picture.... this is just a tiny aspect of it. You want to live in a controlled third world police state? Well, you're going to get one unless people take action damn soon to make the USA change direction. |

The fact that you misunderstand just about everything myself and others say to you tells me you are essentially doomed to lead a miserable life. You were born as a statistic and that's the way you'll die. In the meantime, go read Lord of the Flies. -- CobraJet |

What I have been saying is so far beyond your comprehension, so far beyond your understanding, that all you can do is lash out. That's the thing about a grade school bully, he lashes out with insults and violence because he cannot comprehend what the others do. Why are you so insecure that you need to have controls placed on others and decisions made for yourself? You're a lower vibration, stuck with the understanding of grunt, of a thug. By force and fear you think others can be made to behave the way you want. Oddly, that's exactly how a terrorist thinks. That through application of force, a fear develops causing others to behave and create the restrictions the terrorist wants. We've been doing things this simplistic grunt way for decades, and when it comes to traffic, it clearly isn't working. It's time to try something new. But you think you can just rachet up the fear a little more, increase the state's ability to control people and it will get better. Nope. It will just make matters worse. |

It will just make matters worse. I want to control your mind, Brent. I want you to understand that you are trapped in a world that has no utopia. There is nowhere to go. You are amongst the grovelling minions who MUST do what I and those like me say. Close your eyes and see us both at the playground, Bret. I tower over you, and I laugh when I make you pull down your shorts and sit on the hot metal slide. I won't let you up until I'm done kicking sand in your face. Feel it, Brent? Hot, stinging sand. In your eyes, in your mouth, in your nose. I'm laughing, Bret, because there are just so many like you that must do as I say and there is no end to my enjoyment. Your tears run a trail through the dust on your face and drop onto a lap devoid of the hair of man. Tis a wonderful day, the sobbing and choking and the stench of seared flesh. You will see this picture every time you encounter authority, Bret. From the cop who demands your license to your boss who demands you show up on time to the cashier who demands you pay for your groceries. They all put you in your place. Bottom rung. Servile. We are all out to feel empowered by the whimpering that emanates from clenched lips. The picture will always be there. Hot sand, shorts at your ankles, yellow puddle. It's there forever. In your mind, right up front. It itches from inside. You can feel it eating away at you even when you try not to think about it. It has substance. It has aggression. It was meant to devour. You cannot ever be at peace with that picture in your head. When you wake up, you taste the playground grit in your teeth. You pick at the pus-filled scabs on your buttocks. You've got to kill it, Bret. You can't be happy until you stop it from eating away at you. But how? It's inside your head. You need to stab it, over and over. YOU are the boss and you won't have this thing festering in you any more. That's it, stab it. You have an ice pick in the kitchen, don't you, Bret? I'm in your head; the only way out is to kill me. Think of it. No more laughing at your pitiful existence. You can free yourself. Freedom. You want it. You deserve it. No, it is your right. Go get the ice pick, Bret. Go get it now. -- CobraJet |
