futuredivot 0 #77 April 30, 2010 QuoteQuote I think calling sewer workers "fuckheads" or "assholes" would be a bigger deal, and you might find yourself in a bit of pain if you tried it with a group of them. Even if you don't think it's a big deal. Are sewer workers inherently big? I'm not small. Furthermore, point was that we have all this sensitivity toward cops; why? Cool. At one point you were going to hide whimpering in the closet and call the cops if a bunch of geriatric VFW members were after you and now you're taking on blue collar working men-kudos on the set.You are only as strong as the prey you devour Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shotgun 1 #78 April 30, 2010 QuoteBy your own admission you regularly drive 85-90 mph. I drive all over the USA and know of no section of highway that those speeds aren't 10-15 mph faster than the vast majority of traffic. There are parts of West Texas where the speed limit is 80, but it's a long straight road with little traffic, and you can see for miles. But yeah, around Houston, the speed limit is 65 or 70. (I think it's 65???) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skydiver604 0 #83 April 30, 2010 Disagree 99%,,,As noted in an earlier post there are bad apples in every profession,,,expect the same respect that you give in return,,,,99% of the cops I've dealt with are pretty decent. Only 1 or 2 that I've encountered have been assholes,,generally they're good people making the best out of shitty situations scraping bodies out of cars, dealing with scumbags on a daily basis, they risk their lives everyday so ordinary people can go about their business relatively safely, they see the worst evil that humans can inflict on other humans, most everyday they see pain and suffering and try to help as best as they can,,,,,they arrest the criminals only to have a bleeding heart judge give them a slap on the wrist or dismiss the case entirely. I have a lot of respect for the men and women in law enforcement,,,I couldn't do it.

If the original post has any truth to it, there should be a newspaper article or something out there.

rehmwa 2 #93 April 30, 2010 QuoteA woman spanked her kid, some snarky employee called 911, and the cop arrested the mother when he should have instead apologized to her for the intrusion and cited the employee for filing a false report of a crime. This bastard deserved to be shot dead in the street. I suspect the cop was following whatever local law he is constrained to support. No doubt the 'employee' call it in as a 'beating' or 'abuse' rather than a spanking. unless the "bastard" you are talking about was the employee that called in the spanking - then yes, the bastard deserved to be shot (not dead, but maybe in the butt for being one himself) ...

wmw999 2,588 #95 April 30, 2010 And unless the "spanking" was frightful. Some people don't think a spanking is worthwhile if it doesn't leave bruises. Wendy P.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence.
