    SO Cal
    This is a perfect example of what I’m talking about. In California if you get a ticket you can take 2 bites at the apple. Wait till the last day and then request a trail by declaration. Even if you are guilty. Wait until the very end of the submittal cycle and submit your declaration. I just put “I’m not guilty”. All your trying to do is see if the cop will return his declaration. If he doesn’t, you win. If he does, you most likely will lose. You then have something like 15 days to request a trail by judge. Wait until the deadline. Then make the request. This sets aside the original verdict. The courts are so backed up that you may not get a court date for months. All you want to do is string it out as long as possible. Prior to the court date ask for a continuance due to some family issue. Now your at least 6 – 8 months. After the original verdict, most cops forget about it. Now when you show up in court the chances of him wanting to go to court on something that’s minor and almost 9 months ago are small. That, Covid and defund the police make their time really limited. I’ve won 3 times like this. If he does show up, just ask the judge if you can take traffic school. They tell you can’t but I saw people asking and getting while waiting for my no show cop to come in. See it’s knowing the system and making it work for you. Not the money you make.

    Make the tax system more transparent, eliminate complexity, eliminate loop holes. Then we can discuss what's fair.

    Like everyone pays the same. I agree. Everyone pays X amount. That is the truest representation of fair.

    Take the central park encounter last year between the black gentleman and the woman walking the dog off a leash. The woman called the police because a black man was threatening her...while the man said he simply asked her to follow the law and leash her dog. That wasn't someone being "woke", that was a racist breaking the law and expecting someone else to be arrested over even suggesting she might be wrong.

    My point is that these instances aren't as black and white as some people make them out to be.

    We see this kind of thing daily...maybe even hourly. One side says something inappropriate, and we take it completely out of context to pass judgement. Meanwhile, hundreds of other people jump on the bandwagon saying all sorts of crazy things about that person...often 10X worse than what they're being accused of. For a practical example, just look at some of the comments about Gruden in forums, articles, videos, etc. Those "woke" people are being as bad or worse than Gruden, but it's acceptable somehow.

    Or, let's get back to the dog-walking story. That woman was 100% wrong on every possible level, but there's comments on the web calling for her to be killed. She was spit on, attacked, belittled, etc. plus fired from her job and ridiculed everywhere she went. And yes, she deserved a lot of that in my opinion....but many of those attacks on her were just as elitist and wrong as what she did.

    I'm sorry- wrong is wrong. You don't get to be racist or insensitive when calling someone else a racist.

    I don't know about "wrong is wrong". I don't see how saying "Gruden is racist" is just as racist as Gruden saying racist things.

    Not the person who initially shared those emails- but the hundreds that followed in condemning him in vile, hate-filled language. They're doing the exact same thing that they're accusing him of, and in many cases calling him more offensive names than what he said in those emails. Two wrongs do not ever make a right.

    By your logic you are just as wrong because you called those people "woke".

    You're 100% correct- I was wrong for saying that, even though it's a term some people in cancel culture use to describe themselves.

    It is also a term racist use for anyone who disagrees with their racism and tries to hold them accountable for their actions.

    LOL, let's end this argument since we've now gone full circle and you've 100% proven my point by taking my words out of context

    I wasn't taking it out of context, just bringing a different perpsective.

    And who did I specifically attack? What horrible, offensive things did I say about the woke culture? You absolutely took it out of context.

    I am not talking about you specifically.

    Just mentioning that the term woke has some different meanings to different people.

    It's all in the eye of the one that's overly sensitive. What ever happened to sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me?

    In what professional setting is it ever right to call people f*****s? Comedy is the only thing I can think of.

    I'm hearing a lot of *****ing and moaning in here but none of it seems to be about the topic of the thread.

    I'm tired of having to clean up threads and warn people about not insulting other members.
    Once again, it happens with a political topic.

    Thread locked.
