When a police man asks "Do you understand" did you know ...?

[clifford_-]

What about laws that are in place to stop people from potentially harming others i.e. speed limits?

Yea fair enough. but getting a 60 pound ticket for staying in a parking spot 2 minutes too long. thats out of order.

[symmetricalsounds]

how would I get away with murder though?

use a knife made of ice.

that is actually a sick idea

Vast Aire knows

coincedentally enough someone i knew at uni came up with the icicle idea quite a while before i heard the Vast track.

[deesee]

if your doing 60 in a 30, u deserve to be punished

I've almost been done doing 110 in a 60 do I deserve to be punished?*

yup

yup

even when theres no one else about, and your only gonna hurt yourself?

fair enough you do that shit outside a shcool, you deserve to get banned/put in prison.

but on the motorway, at night, on your own, i cant see how this would hurt anyone?

[slothrop]

yea, these piddly little laws that are a FUCKING JOKE. dont you see that? why the fuck should i sort my rubbish out myself, into 3 different bins, when im paying the council to do it...

Statements like this are what

was made for.

if you like being mugged off, and having to pay for the priveledge, then bully for you.
i think its a fucking liberty.

Last time I checked, my council tax was paying for parks, roads, libraries, schools, rubbish collection, streetlights, buses etc etc etc. That's why it's called 'council tax' and not 'sorting out your rubbish for you except that actually we won't we'll make you do that yourself while we spend the money on drugs tax'. I'd rather have to spend 0.2 seconds putting cardboard in a different bin than have the council either dump everything in landfill or cancel something I actually care about in order to pay for a whole load of people to sort through rubbish.

[clifford_-]

and you think it actually works like that?

[slothrop]

and you think it actually works like that?

Shit, now you mentioned it there aren't actually any roads or parks where I live!

I want my money back!

Edit: okay, how does it work then?

[clifford_-]

Dunno if youve seen the state of the roads or parks recently, but it doesnt look like my moneys going on em!
looks like my moneys going on civil servants getting paid shit loads for a job that doesnt need to be done!

[kingGhost]

Sorry man, didn't mean to get you all up in arms. I don't think you should have to pay a parking ticket if you come to your car 2 minutes late. They'll normally throw those sorts of things out in court anyway. I do agree, however, that if you do enjoy the things that living under government can provide, then you should pay your taxes properly, pay all applicable fines you accrue, and just bitch about it like the rest of us grown ups. Don't come up with wily schemes to get out of it, while willingly benefitting from the good parts. Children do that. Stuffing feathers up your ass does not make you a chicken...

So your analysis of council spending is "I went for a walk in the park and it didn't look like the hedges had been trimmed recently." FFS.

I don't dispute that a lot of stuff is underfunded and that there are people in the council feathering their own nests at the expense of the services that they're meant to be providing, but do you think if you (for instance) don't sorting your rubbish and evade the fine for it they're going to say "holy cow, I'd better stop creaming off the top and start sorting people's rubbish out for them"? Or just dump it in landfill?

[clifford_-]

nah, just avoid it full stop.

[ashley]

Why would I pay in dollars to request information about a UK company?

OP is a troll.
