Mentioning where it's from was a stupid move... if I were you now I would simply get rid of it / cover tracks.

By "baddest" I don't mean worst - I mean how m-w.com defines bad as 10. bad·der bad·dest slang a: GOOD, GREAT b: TOUGH, MEAN
OK, thanks for clarification. why do I take everything so literally lol |

I think you're missing the point. Nobody's denying that he made a mistake. However, I don't want to live in a violent society where the punishment is worse than the crime, and the "law enforcement" are the real criminals.
The biggest and baddest thing you could do to help achieve that goal is to promote to ordinary people that they should have hidden dash-cams of their own so they can hold the police officers accountable for their action. There is nothing that puts out-of-line police in their place like a smoking gun YouTube video with millions of hits, and technology has finally brought us DVR's smaller than a silver dollar with gigs of recording time. What's wrong with recording them?? If they know they can be recorded they will probably try to be more complaint with the law they enforce. Now that is a good thing (unless the evidence is not enough to bring them to justice). |

What the police should have done is gotten close enough to take a picture of his car's number plate, or at least memorise it, then pull back and abandon the pursuit. Then afterwards they can go round to his house and talk to his mum about letting her son borrow the car after 10pm. What if the crash had been fatal? Serves him right??  What if the car was stolen? What if the registration plate was stolen / falsified / etc.? What if he had a corpse lying in his trunk (hence his fleeing)? |

Sorry theymos, but this has just been revealed to be an utterly useless feature for our community.
Study the folks who are "dark" (and we can set aside the racist undertones of that particular glitch!) and you will find the most interesting people in the community, and certain the most opinionated. Is our goal to have a milquetoast all vanilla community of quiet, polite followers? Or is the purpose of a Bitcoin forum to celebrate bitcoin and explore the very edges of what a paradigm shifting financial innovation it is?
If I want boring and predictable there are literally tens of thousands of online communities that will give you nauseatingly boring. I participate here for the specific reason that there is healthy debate, outrageously polarizing opinion and people actually willing to stand up and believe in something, even when they are obviously disturbed and dead wrong, at least they have the huevos to believe in something.
The ignore button has become the mouthpiece of the intellectually retarded, and the cowardly refuge of those who are not able to form an opinion, preferring to hide behind the skirts of anonymous finger pointing and name calling.
A far more valuable button would be one that shows the interesting "darkies" exactly how many ignores each of the candy ass wimps who use ignore has implemented.
Do you have the moral courage to compile a list of who has the most ignores set to complement this uncalled for nonsense?
Hmmm... your view of this issue may a bit biased as you yourself have quite a few ignores. The ignore button's purpose is to hide posts of people one does not want to see, given the freedom of expression the forum administration approves of, it is a useful option. I have tried no to use it myself until very recently (zyk and reeses) but I am happy I can now avoid reading their posts. I don't quite agree with your first statement regarding the 'dark' people, sure some of them may be interesting, but a lot of them are trolls who are ignored for a reason. EDIT: Hue of the ignore button is simply an indicator of the probability that a certain person is a professional forum troll but one should use other measures to judge a person (read their posts and draw one's own conclusions). |

Lol ok, you remind me of when i was 13-15.
Im from the States and my parents/rest of my family are from Argentina and lived through the entire Peron/Military junta so i think i know a thing or two about police states and social corruption.
A piece of paper is not armor to your body or an absolvement of your actions.
Like I said before, police choose to be corrupt. Some places have more corrupt cops than others, and i agree with you that corruption is becoming a much more serious issue. As for videos and youtube of US cops, yea it happens a lot and yea i've witnessed it in person, but thats only because the times when they do wrong stick out way worse than the times they actually do their job.
As for police corruption in NZ, trust me on this: if it is actually happening, you didnt suffer even a fraction of how far true corruption can escalate.
I do feel terrible for your loss though and i couldnt imagine how much that would suck being an outdoors person myself. So for that sorry dude, but you gotta realize by breaking their rules right away is just an instant loss for you.

Maybe he thought it was some Internet game currency, e.g. WoW gold?  Hope it didn't ruin your chances and that you get the job though. |

There are some places where 150kph motorway speeds are completely normal, like Germany and the Czech Republic and maybe France. Drug liberalisation probably needs a bit of work in Europe, but there also isn't such a huge cultural disconnect between the population and law enforcement either.
It's 130kph in France and Czech Republic (and in most European countries it is the same; Poland has 140kph limit), but there are no limits on most motorways in Germany. Maybe the legally dictated speed limit  but it's treated more like a guideline. Ironically, Poland is a curious example. Even though their driving is disgusting compared to the other three, and much worse than NZ driving, you don't see their cops torturing people to teach them a lesson. Sorry, didn't read correctly. Yeah, 150-160 on a motorway is normal if the driving conditions are safe (this doesn't apply to Poland though  ) |

Did you use the card for any illegal stuff? Did you buy it yourself or did someone else do it for you? I've had an account there for a few years without (bigger) problems and got two cards. |

I think you should at least call them / email them in case they don't browse the forums.

I don't buy that that is all the people under 16 on these forums (0.7% is far too low). Maybe younger people tend to be more anonymous?
There is 64k of members and only 2.7% of them filled out the info in their profiles. The list is too small (not to mention we don't how many of them submit false info to gain credibility). |
