I totally agree with you Kelly (btw, how the hell you been?)

I'm dreading coming back to VA... no telling what kine bull**** is gonna be going on in 2009ish.

 

It might help your credibility if you actually were "familiar" with the topic you're trying to discuss.

Take a Pill? What are you in 9th grade?

 

I think he's suggesting suicide.

 

I haven't heard/read the "take a pill" phrase being used since High School.

 

LMAO... take a chill pill homie.

 

Thank you for the actual figure Mike. Something simply doesn't add up - the object of government is not to make "profit", but instead to break even. In the federal government, such actions are an ADA violation and unconstitutional. At the state level, I simply don't know all the intricacies with the law. I truly figure that this is a ploy by traffic attourneys in VA to increase their revenue options in a state that has very little crime (and a declining traffic violation rate).

Another figure I'd like to see is police per capita in NoVA - but I sure as hell will say that for an area with as little crime as it has, there sure are a lot of bored police officers.

 

I'm good. Enjoying the Viper and the new SuperBee, and workin' my fool *** off. HI is a two year accompanied tour right? When do you come back in '09?

 

Like Corey said - this is what blows my mind worse than anything... If I have points from an offense a few years back, this can come around and slap ANOTHER $175 for each point IN ADDITION to the already outragous BS fees that their getting ready to drop on us.

I'm not opposed to keeping things sane on the roads. I've got a 5 year old son. One of my worst fears is some a$$hole doing something stupid while he's out riding his bike in our neighborhood. As much as I love my car, there is a place and time for everything, and I do believe that people need to think about what they're doing when they get behind the wheel of a car.

That said - put the fines where they belong. As Kelly stated, taxes are there for a reason. They bring accountablilty, or at least some small measure of it to the table. Things like this remind me of how the post office continues to raise postage every year while service gets worse and worse. And how last years VA tax surplus is just a horid example of financial mismanagement and gouging by our local state govenrment. I paid over $11k in state taxes last year (got back $348). Anyone want to guess what my money went to? I'd like to know...

 

HI is 3 years regardless if single or married (because of the cost to Uncle Sam to send someone out here).

I'm reclassing though so I'll be back in VA (Belvoir again) sooner than 3 years. I'm hoping to come back out here afterwards (I ****ing love Hawaii).

I'm hoping to be back in NoVA around springtime '09. That way I can enjoy the weather (and not deal with perma-summer to winter shock) and then return to HI after the rainy season.

 

good point. but the roads in the immediate fairfax to dc area sucks!!! and who lives in west bubblefock aka gainesville anyways? lol jk

 

I thought you are a Western Bubblefockian, aren't you? Or do you live just east of wheredafockamiville?

 

**** that. I'm doing 150 on my way out of VA Thursday. I hate this state even more now.

 

Stay in NC a while and you just might like VA a lot more.
