Not really, probably similiar though.

My parents for most of my childhood years worked second and third shift.

My grandparents raised me essentially, on a farm, in the middle of nowhere.

I was pretty much told the ground rules, you were not to rough house in the china room. If you did, well you went out back and picked out a stick that you were beat with.

If the stick was too small or unacceptable, you got the leather belt.

If you didnt finish your chores, or did them in an unacceptable way, coporal punishment..

If you werent to dinner on time, you didnt eat.

Raptor would probably scream abuse and conspiracy theories. My grandparents did it all for revenue and their rules were pointless.

Unfortunately I grew up to be a law abiding citizen who loves his grantparents, and realizes the time out B.S. and parents that punch their kids in the face are the ones turning out the screwed up people.

Beleive it or not I didnt get beat that often, I didnt go without food either. I used good ole common sense and followed the rules. Granted I break the speed limit myself from time to time, but knowing full well a law is in place, and enforced. If I get pulled over I dont start blubbering about how aweful cops are because I broke a law I was aware of. Its PURE ignorance...

Am I saying the system is perfect? No. Could it be improved apon? Yes, most definately. But I still cant agree with the anarchists out there...

Well, that's just being nice. If some douche was trying to hide something, he wouldn't have them down. :|

its a law to protect people who are too damn stupid to protect themselves. you cant see out of 3% windows! i dont want to be sideswiped by some moron who cant see their blind spot because they blacked out all their windows, its bad enough as-is. if it was a free for all we'd have people spray painting their windshields black with a 10x2 square, al la tank!

theres UV tint now.. the 30% or whatever it is legal front tint blocks an amazing amount of heat.

I'm confused...how did a thread about hating cops turn into Loki's life story? I feel like a shrink listening to his client, "Well...it all started back in..."

Because I was raised with many rules, and I felt it would assist in driving the point home.

Raptor cant figure out why he keeps getting tickets while alot of us get out of them.

Its really simple, he doesnt follow the rules and does so on a regular basis.

He also thinks the system is designed to 'keep you down man'.

When it really isnt. But to further your question... I have no idea how that came up

Oh yeah someone said beating the hell out of your children = bad parenting.

While not beating your children = Raptor... (J/K! )

I was just thinking about doing this. There's gonna be a local car show here, and there's gonna be an award for "most rice". So I want to spray paint the windows/headlights/tailights black on some random honda I might get. That's only the beggining. It's gonna be riding on cut springs yo!
