When people think it's okay to wear their pants half way down their ass and/or to wear clothes that are too small at work. You're at work, dress properly god damn it. Nobody wants to see your boxers, butt crack and/or stomach.
Yeah, precisely. It's quite uncomfortable to wear pants like that either way.

I got the clawed to hell by one of the cats at the SPCA today. Bled like a stuck pig, and I'm going to have to try to deal with the irritation and discomfort for DAYS.

I can't get angry at or blame the cat, but goddamn, that's going to leave a scar.

Went to order some RC parts for a Traxxas stampede... only to realize that i sent the parts to my parents place... In Saskatchewan. Derp on my part for not changing my address on Tower Hobbies. But still going to drive me batshit crazy waiting for those parts.

I didn't realize yeilding and even looking for oncoming traffic were things not required to hold BC drivers License... it was literally like that south park episode... I wish I was joking..

Drake... one time I almost got hit THREE times in a 100yd stretch, in a row. All old people coming out of diagonal street parking, not looking to see if it was clear.

Oh god, yeah people and parking as a general work out about as well as hand sanitizer on a razor burn. I just get so pissed about the elderly on a regular basis due to the hypocrisy of our society, there is an obvious problem but we ignore it and continue to let accidents and injury's needlessly happen because some how that seems the better option than upset old people.. I have been lucky so far but only cause I drive like every single grey haired person is on the road just so they can kill someone and not follow any of the rules.

I always felt that if the government has made underage driving against the law, they should make overage driving against the law as well.

It's against the law to drive underage because you can't get your license till a certain age. Overage driving, or, as it's known, senior driving, can be overlooked upon certain aspects: if the person has enough site to see ahead of them at least a mile, have some-what fast reflexes to act upon suddenly in-case need be, and still have strength. It's different however, because for overage driving, you actually have a license, so all-in-all it's legal for the most part. The only thing that could change it is if they get their license suspended/taken away forever. But with underage driving, you don't have any sense of what to do on the open road, half the kids who try can barely reach the pedals, and a lot of the time just look plain stupid to have, say, a 10-year old behind the wheel, on a busy intersection, especially if they don't know what they're doing. Let alone try and drive their parents care alone or with friends who can't drive either. Driving a big vehicle with a motor that has power equivalent to a horse is far more different than driving those little plastic toy cars our parents bought us when we were young (if they could afford it or were nice enough to buy you one; I never got one lol, and it's a good thing I didn't xD). lol. :roll:
(my friend told me to throw this in just for the shits 'n giggles (is not meant to be taken with offence, since, it's a joke that lingers throughout the world) that if overage driving should be against the law, then same goes for chinese people, and should only be allowed to drive after they pass some intense driving boot camp)

I believe I wasn't clear in my point: Don't get me wrong, I support the government on making underage driving against the law.

Hell, they should ban folks driving with loud mufflers and obscenely annoying bass music - windows down and all that.

And Hunny, i'm not as far offended regarding the ad hominem + ad verbatim "joke" as I'm currently rolling my eyes in a state of being unimpressed.

Oh, I definitely agree with you about the loud mufflers part; it really pisses me off when you're standing at a cross walk and the light goes green, when all you hear is "VAROOOOBOOMM" so loud >.> it's bloody annoying. As for the loud bass music, I'm fairly okay with that, depending on what the song is; if it's good music, I'm okay with it but if it's wangster music then I try and tune it out...

Mmm I see exactly what you are saying Hunny. The only problem is how much we let it slide :S I think that once people hit 60 they should have to at least do some sorta test every 5 years. The currents system of testing once they hit 80 is rather redundant because by that time many are not driving due to rapidly deteriorating health. its kinda like trying to cure someone of cancer while they are on their death bed, you have already missed the crucial point so anything this late in the game is all in vain. We need to stop bad drivers before they have accidents, not after repeated ones. I think this could vastly be solved by medical testing at younger ages, start doing eye exams, reaction tests and the like once someone reaches 60, if they cannot meet a minimum visual and reaction rating then its a good sign its time to hang the keys.

The main problem with older drivers is not just one of health but general lack of lazy driving and not caring. I have had too many close calls with their driving and every time I look at them they got this look of indifferent on their face, as if to say "what? You managed to dodge my driving, if people can dodge me then I can still drive, not my fault!" These are the types I would feel not a ounce of sympathy towards if they got stripped of their license because their indifference to others safety and proper driving form make them EXACTLY like an under-aged driver. Just with an under-aged driver its not knowing anything, where as with older people its arrogance and just not giving a shit. In driving schools they are dead set on defensive driving, the one I went to it was the bulk of everything they taught you, not how to handle different cars or road conditions, it was mostly about how to minimize your chances of being hit by an indifferent retard. We teach people how to get around the stupid instead of focusing on getting rid of the stupid, simply put. Its something I have never agreed with on a fundamental level simply cause no where else in society do we accept sub-par incapable people to do tasks that require a decent level of attention and skill, usually because always it has bad consequences. But for some reason with driving we just hand out the license and go "god and darwin will have a tug-o-war and sort em out"
