I hate the government.
Reply
Posted 2008-07-31, 08:24 AM
For many reasons. The main reason I hate it, which has directly affected me, is that they are greedy, money-hungry sons of bitches.

Case in point:

- I get charged with posession of 2 grams of marijuana (a harmless plant that has been growing in the ground since the beginning of time) resulting in at least $3,500 out of my own pocket, most of it sent to the court/court-affiliated programs. Remember, this is $3,500 JUST FROM ME ALONE. 800,000 non-violent human beings are arrested EACH YEAR for marijuana posession. 800,000 people x $3,500 per case is 28 billion dollars. No, not each case results in $3,500 in fees, I'm just estimating.

Top that off with the money you taxpayers pay to keep prisons maintained so they can house non-violent drug offenders for YEARS. And for what? MONEY BABY.

- This morning on my way to work I am caught speeding. So fucking sue me. Oh, and guess what else? My plates expired a month ago. This is costing me a total of $225. TWO HUNDRED AND TWENTY FIVE DOLLARS TAKEN FROM A POOR BACHELOR WHO WORKS HARD FOR HIS FUCKING MONEY. Please explain to me how 12 mph over the speed limit and expired plates = $225? How in the FUCK does that equal up? And get this! As I'm pulled over, the cop that is writing me 2 tickets flags some other speeder over and starts to write her a ticket as I'm driving off.

I just seriously hate how our country is run by greed and money. Fuck this place.

Holy shit man I would have been fucked for sure the other day I got pulled over with a scale and an ounce in the car, and they searched it but they couldnt find it because I hid it in one of the middle panels. I think they should change the law, that is bullshit what happend to thanatos, and I think we need to bring our soldiers home from war so I selected no. I think the charge for possession here is alot lower but it still sucks nads getting caught.

You are severely misinformed when it comes to this topic. Please educate yourself and not believe everything the government tells you.

The government does not control us health specialists so shove it up your ass and go back to your mobile home you call the mystery machine Shaggy.

We are NOT going to lie about what smoke inhalation does to other people. They now have the right to sue you for harrassment or assault if you smoke around them now. Your welcome.

I think that with cops actually doing their job for once someone would be happy. You bitched and complained about how they didn't do shit and now you complain when they actually do something. Typical american.

Why speed? Half the time the people we see speeding pass us up. 10 seconds later we are right behind them because the light was red. Obey traffic laws because violating them gets you nothing. Sure it feels good to look and act outside the law like a hippy. But in the end you will get caught.

If drivers would look in the fucking mirrors they would see themselves as the problem to all these damn accidents. You guys don't know how to drive so stay away from a car. You telling me you are going to try and make a carbon nanotube from scratch even though you don't know how? No.

The fact is you are one of those self righteous hippies who thinks they know it all because they went to college for a few months even though you failed. Chances are you are also one of the ones who thinks humans are better at everything under the influence of drugs. You probably act superior because you do drugs because in your mind you have to somehow justify what you know is wrong. Furthermore you bring up MJ because you know it's the only drug that you can get kudos for doing. How about that heroin you use? You probably didn't even get a High School diploma because the work was too hard for you and you have the audacity to tell someone else to educate themselves? Last time I checked credentials were needed to make your opinion worth anything Shaggy. Come back after you get and education. Then we can talk. Until then you are like a kid. What you want does not matter.

Fucking idiot thinks the government controls every little thing. God damn moron. For the record no I don't like the way the government works. I think they should be harder on those that break the law.

EDIT: By that I mean they should gather up all those who murder, rape, or commit terrible crimes, and shoot them in public. Behind an electric fence with one entrance gaurded by a tank so fucking hippies like you get shot trying to do shit about it.

What the fuck are you talking about? I don't smoke cigs and the only time I smoke marijuana is in the privacy of my own home, not in public, and I can do whatever the hell I want in my own house.

What the fuck are you talking about? Since when was I bitching and complaining about cops not doing their job? You have me confused with someone else because you're fucking delusional. And I am the furthest thing from a typical American. Your assumptions make me laugh.

I was running late to work. I wasn't harming anyone, nor was I being an aggressive driver. I was in the right lane just cruising along. I have never once been in a car accident and I have a perfect driving record. So shut the fuck up.

Again, WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? This seems like a pretty fitting motto in reply to your posts. I read your whole post and the first thing that came to my mind was, Is this guy serious? What the fuck did he just say? I don't even think you believe the gibberish that comes out of your mouth. Seriously, you're clinically insane. Don't skip out on your meds, dude, they'll do more damage then you know. How many pills do they have you on now?

I'm a hippy because I smoke marijuana? Why don't you think before you speak, punk, because you are clearly speaking out of your ass. It smells in here now. Somebody clean that shit up.

1. I have never done heroin, nor will I ever. The only "drug" I partake in is marijuana, which is decriminalized/legal in some states/countries.

2. Drugs do not make you superior to anything. This is my personal choice. I don't promote it in any way. I do not try to get people to smoke. I simply use it in my recreational, private time because I like it. Fuck off.

3. I was telling Wallow to educate himself as he has recently shown that he gets his opinions from his parents and any other authoritative figure. You didn't need to chime in with all your retarded assumptions. It just makes you look incredibly stupid. Which is pretty hard since half of the member-base thinks you're crazy anyway.

If that doesn't tip people off that you are in fact insane, I don't know what will.

I'm not exactly a fan of the current direction right now, though it's for other reasons.


The Patriot Act being first and foremost on the list. So much for a right to privacy, eh?


Thanatos: It's nearing the end of the month, gotta fill that ticket quota. I had a guy write me one for going 60 in a 55, shit sucks but there's little you can do about it most of the time. I ended up fighting it and getting out since I was passing a vehicle.

Agreed.

5 over is okay, 10 over is pushing it. 10 over is what generous cops will allow you. 5 over any cops will allow unless you're on an army base or they're having a bad day. 12 is just asking for a ticket.

I understand that speeding is not a very smart risk to take, but does that minor infraction equal $225? Fuck no it doesn't. That's my whole point of this thread. Money rules everything and corrupts everyone. Fuck that.

Like slim said, it's the end of the month. The last 10 days I'm always more careful and on the lookout. And especially the last 5 days of the month, then they really start crackin down.

I find it ironic (and somewhat infuriorating) that the same people who cry and moan when someone tries to take away their guns--even when it's only a ban in national parks or the like--are the ones who adamantly oppose letting people practice an alternative (and less destructive) method for recreation in marijuana use. It's even more ridiculous when you consider that the majority of Americans support at least a decriminalization of marijuana use.

Man I hope democrats get a fillibuster proof majority in the senate, and a good majority in the house too.
