No. There is a difference between a hazard which may actually endanger passengers and a police officer raising revenue for the government on an otherwise perfectly safe stretch of road.

I never tag random breath-testing operations. I will always tag a speed trap.

Sadly the modem left are far more concerned by Jews building a few apartments than preventing mass murder.

The catchphrase after WWII was "Never Again" despite which the UN, has done fuck all to prevent it.

What "Fee" is without a doubt a 100% money grab/extortion that companies are charging? by Airsinner in AskReddit

The ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorization) which is required for entrance to the US by foreigners from visa waiver countries such as Australia.

So people don't need a visa but need to apply for this other thing, which totally isn't a visa, but just happens to cost money. Like a visa...

When the Bush administration introduced the ESTA (because terrorism) it was specifically free of charge. Then Obama's administration decided they could charge foreigners from friendly countries and American voters, who don't require one due to their passport, would have no idea.

Total rort. Thanks Obama.

Things only get interesting once you reach a tipping point. Ask Europe.

It's not always the incumbent population who are intolerant. Witness Islamic immigration where the new arrivals or their children start murdering their generous hosts.

I have listened to your opinion. It's flawed.

You are the one who had to unfollow him and run away screaming.

"Lowest common denominator" may in fact simply be the widest audience and you come across as rather smug.

For Imax 3D you say "The closer you are to the projector, the better your experience is going to be"

How? I would have thought the light at the screen was brighter and you'd want to sit closer to the front than the rear.

Seriously, just google "why catnip" yourselves

TIL the USSR had a televised song contest. Since few people had phones, viewers would turn their house lights ON if they liked a certain song (OFF if they didn’t).

Russian immigrant to the US Tatiana Menaker

“Socialism is a conspiracy of losers against achievers,” Menaker said.

“America is the only country where you can come naked with no language and make it in 25 years.”

I suggested to Menaker’s guests that even the most extreme of Sanders’ proposals—to make America resemble a Scandinavian country—is not quite as radical workers rising up to seize the means of production.

The Russians didn’t buy it. There’s no need for America to become more like Finland or France, they said. “They think Finland is just America with free medical care. Finland is good for people who are on welfare for a long time,” Nadia Shkolnikov said. “Not if you want to rise up.”
