Does this make you feel good about yourself?

Nope - it makes me furious that there is so much energy, treasure, time, dedicated to such bullshite 'causes' -

Especially when it only deepens your public perception as being someone deeply integrated into a completely evil political movement.

I don't follow you much - this was a rare time I actually read some of your 'rationale' - you succeeded in validating (to me) that description.

It is obvious to me that you are totally dedicated to uprooting the very foundations of our democratic republic as envisioned by our founders and defended for two and a half centuries by the blood and treasure of the nation.

And the 'paradise' you seem to be chasing is so repugnant to every fiber of my being that I felt compelled to dump some of my revulsion on you.

You are emblematic of the evil that is destroying our nation - and I don't like it one bit - I have 3 great grandsons who may never EVER even glimpse the absolutely magnificent paradise of a nation I was so lucky to have been born into - even though it was in the depths of the Great Depression - we had something you cannot - and can never - even partially understand - a genuine LOVE for the freedom and liberties - and MOST IMPORTANT - the OBLIGATIONS we who were so generously given.

You cannot possible understand the angst when I see folk like yourself piss on everything that is good about American every day - in the chase for the downfall of it all.

Now it may well be that your are really 'good intentioned' but if so you are sublimely ignorant - and should NOT be in a position to influence those who need to have good examples as their 'case workers' rather than another dupe for the democrat party in their objective of turning our republic into some dystopian commune.

I am feeling quite on edge about this whole situation - and the fact that I will probably not live to see how it turns out is further fueling my outrage at those cheering it on.

Just here to say frick you and systematic racism bullshite. You are the problem not the solution.

Stopped reading here. Can't tell if you are trolling or not. If you are not than both of you are stupid.

You clearly drew a line between personal responsibility and systemic issues for people of "a certain demographic".

This was done in the original post in reference to the specific incident related to a specific person.

Generational points/arguments are absurd regardless.

Also, I’m gonna bet he did a lot more to advance the greatness of this nation than you could ever hope to do. I certainly know he’s done more than I have.

The point I tried to make is that we distract ourselves with discussing "politics" in abstract ways that don't really impact us instead of devoting energy to matters that do impact our daily lives, or the daily lives of real people in our communities.


You see it as a distraction while others see it as a necessary way to stay informed. What you see as devoting energy to matters involving the daily lives of real people in our communities, others can see that was largely a waste of time and energy on those who will simply continue making the same bad decisions over and over.

Whether each (or both) are right or wrong is dependent on the scenario and that of the viewer.

quote:

His original felony was related to a driving offense. All of his original charges and convictions are driving offenses.


A felony driving charge is still a felony. What makes a driving charge a felony in Louisiana usually boils down to the driving led to death or serious bodily injury, repeat offenses (especially DUI) and/or dangerous conduct like fleeing police.

You mentioned the plural, "charges". Was this from multiple events or multiple charges in the same event?

quote:

He certainly broke the law. I've never tried to excuse that or say he didn't deserve to face the consequences of his actions. I guess that's why I'm confused as to why people seem to be desperate to know the details of his conviction/arrest.


Because details matter. Was his infraction a one-time thing or is it a growing pattern of behavior? Has he had a family that ignores his behavior or has tried (and failed) to counsel him on it? What are his friends like? Does he tend to stick with destructive behavior patterns even after recognizing them? If he tries and fails to correct them, where's the breakdown point? If he doesn't try, why not? Does he even recognize them as destructive?

If someone doesn't care that their behavior is destructive, you can pour all the love and hope in the world into them and it's going to do neither jack nor shite. They have to see it and want to change and they have to want to do it for themselves. If someone doing something nice for them, their momma crying over their decision(s), etc. doesn't have enough impact to change how they view their behavior (and it often doesn't), then they aren't likely to change and those caring for them either have to divorce themselves of the situation or they get dragged on the emotional rollercoaster.

Many of us have already been through that more than enough times to no longer have the energy nor patience for it again.

She is not. She doesn't get it. It's like the victim card never ends with her dumb arse. She doesn't look at the root problem which starts from conception. Most blacks are born into single family homes without direction and male figures and this has gone on for decades now and 4cubbies blames everyone and everything but this. How could it be before blacks were given government handouts and marriage was the norm that blacks were alot less violent and more productive? This victim card spewed by Democrats like 4dummies and black leaders has lead to the demise of the black family and created a culture of violence and blacks that leech on government assistance. Yet 4 cubbies talks about how she is fixing them and she is a saint
NEWS FLASH: watch all the videos of black youths at Daytona beach and all over the US this a CULTURE problem not a systemic racism problem.

You answered this already. He's not capable of this because of the parents he was born to.

It's the end of March and I'm still driving around with a damaged vehicle because just the thought of dealing with insurance companies and body shops and getting a rental exhausts me.

Think about what you are saying. Mentally, you can't handle a very simple, menial task even though you logically know you can do it.

You need help. It's impacting your life. Certainly, it's impacting your ability to assess other complex situations like the OP. It's "exhausting" and you are unable to "muster the mental fortitude".

The truth about you is that you are harming those around you a lot more than you are helping them. Step back and take a look at your kids. They see what I'm pointing out every day.

Respectfully, this is an example of what I cited in my post:

This is an extraordinarily unhelpful attitude. Her assertions were false, and misplaced. You appropriately countered them, but differently than I have.

JFC

I wrecked my Infinity in February because some idiot decided the far left lane was clear when another idiot came off of the on-ramp without looking and pushed me into the median and into a barrier.

I had the insurance claim process started before the tow truck arrived with the insurance app, had them the police report, and got a rental car approval before lunch. Then a check a week and a half or so later.

And you find it "exhausting" to file a claim and fix you car in almost 4 months?!?!?

What exactly are you "teaching" these people again??

Let me guess.. the person that hit you was "oppressed" and didn't have insurance. Therefore you are just going to eat the damage because of your "privilege". Tell me how well I nailed it on the head.

Getting a car fixed entails more than filing a claim, as you know. I explicitly stated all the parts that I just don't feel like dealing with.

I'm not surprised to learn that I have a lot more on my plate than you.

Aren’t you 40? If you can’t get your car fixed and file a claim, what else are you neglecting? Get it together. This thread has been revealing.

Stop.

You didn't say you were too busy (also ridiculous).

You said you didn't have the mental capacity to do it because it was overwhelming and exhausting.

Right. It's just one more thing for me to do. I don't need more things to do.

I need a wife.

My car has minor cosmetic damage. Getting it fixed isn't a priority. Anyone who has ever gotten a rental from a car insurance claim knows that it's unlikely you will get one comparable to your vehicle. My vehicle is big and is the one we use to transport the family. We need to to able to fit multiple car seats in the rental. It's just not something I feel like dealing with it right now.

So you are just going to drive around in a damaged POS because "I just don't wanna!!"

I can see why your "students" don't know a thing about personal responsibility. Their own "teacher" just runs on moods and feelings.

And I'm guessing I was dead on correct on the situation.

it takes 10 damn minutes to file an insurance claim nowadays. And if you wanna take the Pepsi challenge on who has a busier day during tax season... well line up the glasses.
