parents who provide a $30K car for a teenager, or a 400 hp car for that matter, they can't handle it, then the 100 mph plus ticket or the accident is such a shock omg,

This is pronounced Con-oh-co.
At least once a week I get a person telling me that they are calling from the Co-noco station. As in, all long o's, emphasis on the first "o". Co-noco. Drives me crazy and always takes me a minute to realize that they are at a gas station instead of a Hawaiian Luau.
When someone that doesn't know me, says things about me that aren't true, and cost me a good job. Hate that.

Marijuana should be regulated like alcohol is IMO. No, it doesn't have the same exact effects as alcohol does, but like alcohol it effects your judgement, perception, reaction time, etc. and is just as easily abused. I say legalize it, restrict it to 21+, and put a heavy tax on it. Eliminating the "stupid restrictions" is just plain dumb... I don't want somebody getting tanked at a bar and driving home for the sake of everybody else on the road, why would I be ok with somebody getting stoned off their ass and getting behind the wheel?Quote:

EDIT: I had to edit my post. I don't think you are a coward, I think you are a cop out. Just tax it, just tax it. Jesus Christ, no wonder the government acts like the mafia, people are standing up and begging for it.
It'd be the same kind of tax put on alcohol and tobacco. And yeah, treating marijuana (both the use and the abuse of) like alcohol would be a good way to go about it IMO.
The way I see it, stoners and druggies are gonna get their fix anyway, legal or not. So why not regulate it like we do alcohol and tobacco and collect a tax on it, Lord knows our economy could use it and while I'm all for lowering taxes on shit people actually need (gas, food, income, etc.), marijuana does NOT fall into that category.
Why would you be okay with taxing anything higher than any other commodity? You just figure that since you don't smoke cigarettes, that it's okay for the gov to tax the product at a rate higher than the cost of the product itself? I don't smoke, but I don't think it's okay to be put in federal prison for growing your own tobacco.
As far as I know by the way, there aren't really even any laws about driving while high. I mean, there are laws, but they aren't any where near as strict as the alcohol laws are. We're talking about this issue from two different sides here. I'm talking about stupid laws regulating the industry. There are Trillions of dollars to be made by marijuana in the private market, but the government can't accept the idea of letting an unpopular market go without being harassed and meddled with. The government has even considered legalization of marijuana until states started going bankrupt and they saw a way to easy their financial woes.
The way that politicians seem to feel about marijuana dispensaries, is the way that I feel about the payday loan, check cashing, and Rent-A-Center places that litter every commercially zoned area of the US. They are a cancer on the country. I still wouldn't want to see bogus regulation or higher taxes on them though. The government shouldn't be stealing money from people who make choices that not everyone agrees with. That'd be like the voters who voted for the losing party, paying higher taxes during the whole term of the winning party. You don't want Federal health care? Well that is a poor decision that negatively affects those around you (in our opinion), so you're getting an increase in your taxes this year. Call it an....Ideological Sin Tax if you will. You can disagree with us if you want, but it's going to cost you to stay on that path. Pure insanity.
Well, that was a weird rant that kind of came out of left field. Goodnight. :)
Ok...most recent pet peeve:
Those of you that have been to my shop know that parking is rather limited.
This morning, one of the employees of one of the other businesses in my building parks his brand new Mustang in not one, but TWO of the parking spaces normally reserved for my customers.
I get that he is protective of his car, and that he has to park it somewhere. What burns my a$$ is that he not only takes up 2 parking spaces that are not allocated to his employer, but that they are in the middle of the block allocated to me. With empty spaces on the far side to boot. Why can't he just park in ONE friggin space?!? A$$hat.... [Rant1]
Call the tow truck!
I don't really wanna piss said bozo off. I might do something a little more subtle, like parking my POS F250 about 2 inches from his driver's door...[Stooge]Quote:

Point is I'm not saying raise taxes on shit I don't agree with, I fall into that category too. I'm saying add marijuana to the same category we put alcohol and tobacco in with the same high taxes we have on them now, and the added revenue the gov collects will be nothing but beneficial.Quote:

No, the taxes will just go to the giant hole the government has made for itself. I was just saying that the only benefit anyone will see from it are those that could then smoke it legally.Quote:

As I have been spending WAY too much time on the interstates lately...
Some slow ass Swift driver doing 64 in a 75, trying to pass a slow ass England doing 63.5.
I wonder if my F-350 could P.I.T. a semi?
There is fuel costs for you... all the big fleets have tier trucks knocked down to 65 max but only if they get a certain mpg less then say 6.2 you get 63Quote:

Thanks EPA. Diesels shouldn't be regulated.

Damn navajo has not had detroits in years.Quote:

Coupla things that have been bugging me lately.
People that spell ad with two d's when referring to advertising.
People that use the phrase "Screen Saver" when they mean "Desktop Wallpaper" (Screen savers are the moving graphics that come on after your computer sits for a while to prevent the desktop image from "burning in" to the monitor).
Got ya...Quote:

so, being the renegade I am, I squeeze in there. getting out (tight fit) I notice that there's a guy sitting in the jeep fiddling with a cellphone. I give him the "ok" sign (that in some cultures and american sign language also means 'asshole') and say nice parking job.
He puts his phone down, looks at me and says "QUE!?!!?"
So I lean forward and holler in spanish, "you sure do know how to park!" and head inside. (first I scoped his plate number)
I glance back and he's standing at the back of his vehicle doing his mexican tough guy hat dance. but does not yell or follow.
come back out maybe 10 min later, fully expecting damage to my car. (why I got his plate) his car is gone but he spit on my car several times.
I laugh, was planning on giving both cars a good spring cleaning next week anyway.
anybody want to look up his plate # for me, send a PM~
Swift. There's your problem.Quote:
