Actually bikers have to follow the same laws as drivers - so if they ran a red light and were hit, it'd be their fault. We just had a story about this in our newspaper today. They were saying how they're updating our city to be more bike aware, but that now they need to get police to start ticketing bikers for breaking laws such as, running red lights and riding on sidewalks. Right now the police only give them a "stern warning" as they quoted it.

I know a girl who is a SAHM, who nags her husband about when he's coming home (her H works for my H, in the air conditioning business. hot, hard work.) not because she misses him, but because when he gets home it's his 'shift" to be with the baby. she also brags about when her H is home, she doesn't feed, bathe or change her kid because she "birthed" her so she did her job.
I hate and judge this woman. why have a kid? they started trying a month after they were married. what was the rush?

Ugh, false. Bike = vehicle. all the regular traffic laws apply. It's infuriating when bikers don't know the laws. Car drivers are usually the ones who don't know what laws apply to bicyclists. (At least here - they all think bicyclists should move to the sidewalk, they honk, etc, it's awful - I can't ride a bike here.) But cyclists NEED to know. They're the ones who are going to go flying when they mess up.

Oh, except the guy who was riding down the sidewalk one day and ran me over. True story. That stung. A lot.

Wow. Really??

A few years ago, I was driving and making a right hand turn from a right hand turn lane. A few bikers flew up the right hand side of the street in the right hand turning lane and went straight so when I went to turn, I nearly hit them. I stopped to make sure they were okay and the one biker just reamed me a new one about what a horrible driver I was. But - I was in the turning lane, turning. I followed the rules of the road! Now bikers scare the bejesus out of me. They are so unpredictable sometimes.

AmoroAgain · July 2010

That's why, in Sweden, everyone walks/bikes on the right, and there are bike paths EVERYWHERE so people don't have to ride on the road.

She said he's a "bonehead" but not racist. Her logic is that she's spent time around him and he's been invited to her house and been around her kids. So therefore, he's not a racist. Clearly. *rolls eyes*

Nebb · July 2010

I judge bike riders who feel the need to ride 2 deep on the side of the road so that they can talk. If I have to drive into the other lane to get around you, youre taking up too much room.

I judge the city official here who has decided that to make my city a more "bike-centric" city, he is going to start tearing up the roads to make it a pain in the ass to drive places or get anywhere on time in a car so that more people start biking places.

AdeleDazeem · July 2010

Oh.. and I know that bikers are considered vehicles and should follow the rules of the road, but I have never ever seen it enforced. I assumed I'd be at fault. Bad assumption on my part.

I liked her, but now I'm not sure about her. Remember the Helen Thomas thing, when Helen said that all the Jews should go back to Germany and Poland, two of the most hit areas during the Holocaust? Whoopi didn't see anything wrong with that. She said it was free speech. I doubt she'd say that had Helen Thomas said all the blacks should go back to Africa.

Whoopi has some unpopular views on that as well. She won't call herself African American because she claims she has no ties to Africa - she's fully American. I'm thinking cultural pride apparently doesn't mean much to her.

Then again, I don't think she's been relevent for 15 years.

I had a friend in college who really tried to rip me a new one for calling a friend of mine black, and insisting that I must call him African American, it was rude and horrible to do otherwise.

No matter how many times I told her he was Jamaican - neither African, NOR AMERICAN - she refused to budge.

Anyway, I'm not a Whoopi fan or a non-Whoopi fan. But I don't feel like she's obligated to identify herself as African American due to her skin color any more than I'm obligated to identify myself as Lithuanian-Welsh-Whatever American. I'm American. She can be, too.

mags0607 · July 2010

I judge the random acquaintance I ran into the other day that asked me if I was okay with "marrying a Mexican?"

UMMM. Asshole. 1. he is Puerto Rican and Antiguan. 2. Nice way to lump several different nationalities together based on the color of their skin and 3. What kind of dumbass asks a person that?

I think I stared at her with my mouth open for way longer than necessary, and them I spouted of that he was Puerto Rican and of course I was okay with marrying him.

It still infuriates me almost a week later.

Oh, and I would also like to add that I hate people that say the word "skreet" (street).

Oh, I wasn't disagreeing with her, it just seems that for a while it was ONLY PC to say "African American." Which, as you mentioned, has inherit problems. And I think blacks in the US who are of African descent have always had (or tried to have) a cultural tie to Africa. Kwanzaa is basically an outgrowth of that. Liberia was founded for freed slaves to return to their "homeland" (no matter how many generations they had been in North America at that time). So in that respect, I would imagine it would be unpopular.

I mean, I love discussing where my ancestors came from, but in general Americans are way too obsessed with that. If you told an Irish person you were irish, they would think you were a tool and tell you you're American.

I think that's nuts. I think people are entitled to determine what they want themselves to be called. For instance, i had an *irritating* discussion with a coworked one time about how I am Asian. I told him i did not consider myself Asian since I am Indian. I am Indian or American. I realize India is part of Asia, however, when someone says Asian they usually mean Chinese, Japanese, Korean, etc, etc. It is not specific enough for me. If there is a box on a form that says Asian, I will check other. That's my decision (actually, I just don't fill those things out because I just don't feel like it).

Anyway, it really bothered met hat he thought he could convince me that I was wrong about who I am. ARGH....
