Confused...

Something that really makes me laugh (and confuses the heck out of me) is the way people get really annoyed at the police for deploying speed cameras, saying that the police are 'revenue raising'.

Am I missing something here? People drive cars, right? And they can drive their cars at varying speeds... some cars can go really fast, some cars can't go so fast (like trucks, etc.). Also, depending on how fast you are driving, you have a varying possibility that you might have an accident. People who drive faster are more likely to have an accident (a generalisation of course), and most definately do more damage to whatever they hit (and themselves) when they do have an accident. Therefore, instead of people flying around the streets smashing into things all the time and killing lots of people, we have speed limits. So that people abide by these limits, there is a reasonable penalty for breaking them. If you don't break them, you don't get a penalty.

Here comes the clincher...

Therefore, if you get a speeding ticket IT'S YOUR OWN DAMN FAULT!!! For goodness' sake! If you don't want a fine, DON'T SPEED!!! Why are people so bleeding STUPID?!?! AARRGGHHH!!!!

I'm booking you for going over the FONT size limit - this is a 14 point zone and I think in that post you accelerated up to 24 points!

Also it was a 'No CAPITAL LETTERS AFTER 10PM' precinct..

So, that's $240 thanks - AND I'm docking you 100 points, Dboy.

Fair enough... here ya go :)

Um... why am I paying this to you again? Shouldn't I be handing over the money to Sir Blog?

I'm glad other people agree with me! Hahaha... And I totally agree with owning up to the things you've done wrong, whether that be speeding, or anything else.

Heh. It's kinda funny how society thinks these days. We're so spoiled we think we have all these rights, or that we "deserve" things as standard that we are immensely privileged to have at all...

I got a speeding fine this week! Doh! I was going 67 in a 60 zone, to make it through an intersection that had gone orange/red. Oops... I need to stop trying to race through intersections... But I'm not annoyed at the police, I deserve it. I'm annoyed at myself for driving too fast. I'm with you dboy, I dont' get people who get annoyed at people for enforcing the law and picking them up when they are doing the wrong thing!

Amen, dboy.

If you can't pay the fine, don't do the crime. Easy.

It's funny how many people say they are law-abiding citizens, but they have no problem at all with speeding.

Why does Rev keep taking points away from everyone? I WANT MORE POINTS, Rev! Please.

Hahaha... silly dad. I wouldn't take the points - kids have gotta learn to take responsibility for their actions somehow...

My parents would never do that. Doesn't really teach their kids the value of responsibility anyway.
