10K Fine for No Seatbelt

You trust the city of Anderson to follow suit, or do you think they'll take advantage of the "up to" clause and run the numbers skyward?

I wouldn't worry as much about Anderson as I would Edgewood.  Those guys are jerks.

  Could it be cop can be jerks, cops will be jerks or as I think all cops are jerks.  Even after they have retired.

There you go calling the whole bunch bad because some are again.  Does that mean all old men are jerks 'cause you are? 

[Palehorse]

Must everything be a pissing match twixt you two?

I've ridden in the back of a truck and remember a time where we lined a friend's truck bed w/a huge sheet if clear plastic tarp (or whatever it's called), filled the bed w/water, climbed in and rode around town like that I was 17ish and that was a blast. We'd ride down to the river almost everyday one summer in another friends truck. Having a bed on the truck meant everyone could go. As an adult, I'd never put my children in the bed of a truck and if someone else did it, then a huge fine would be the least of their problems. It's a very dangerous action. I have seen trucks w/seatbelts in the back and that I wouldn't have a problem with.

  I find that the older I get and most old men, the more mellow we get.  But we do find the there are a whole lot of old women who are jerks.  If you don't believe me, just check with some of the old men you know.  It seem that with age women really become self serving Jerks.  But as you see when we, old men, find them, we will act like jerks toward them and treat them like jerks.  And "ME" you are a Republican Jerk.

  Constantly writting checks with your mouth, that your ass can't cash.  WOW!  A life time job in a Chinese auto plant.  WOW!

A friend of ours bolted bucket seats to his pickup truck bed and had a camper shell and when they went camping his kids would ride in the bed of the truck.  Sometimes, but not often, they would put them back there without the camper shell for short trips around town and the kids thought that was a blast.  Don't know if that would even be acceptable now though.

  Over kill law.  The only kids or people hurt riding in the back of a pickup are standing up or setting on the tailgate, which we all know is stupid.

  But then again I seen a small child fall out of a grocery cart on his head, knocking him cold and the last I seen of him and his mother was as they the medics carried out of the store.  He was standing in the cart.  About three week ago, a kid was standing up in a cart at Mejiers jumping up and down.  His mother didn't seem to care.  I went over to her and told her what I had seen with that other kid.  She grabbed him made him sit down in the seat and when we left the store he was still sitting there.  These mothers don't know what a fall fo 4 ft. on concrete will do to a kids head.

Troll, I see that all of the time and it drives me insane. I didn't see it happen, but a little girl tipped a cart over and was seriously hurt. Dumb move on her parent's part, but I wonder if they sued the store.

[Palehorse]

Probably get more money from suing the producers of the Jackass movie!

  We had something happen here in town at the Subway Sandwich shop.  A young kid was standing  out in the aisle and he was swing with his arms off of two tables when he took a nose dive into the concrete floor.

  Hitting himself square on the nose and front of his face.  The fall was so great, it broke his nose, driving a piece of into his brain.  From what we have heard.  He is brain damaged, lost the sight in one eye and crushed the socket of one eye.  He was LifeLined to Indianapolis.

  My wife said, when she was working at the library, that she had to constantly stop the kids from doing it there and the kid's parent where in the library and could have stopped them.  You never know what is going to happen when it comes to kids.
