The need for a consistent moral code that is enforceable through fear of God instead of fear of force.

I am not saying that you require either in modern times. I am saying that without both Spirituality and Religion in our civilizations history we wouldn't have the moral codes that exist within our species.

Where did you learn your moral code from and how far back in your history do I have to go to find a religious believer?

Do you have an example of a documented civilization that did not have some form of Religious or spiritual belief structure that guided their moral codes?

One that precedes and indicates, suggests, or announces someone or something to come.

I am open to hearing your point of view, and answering questions about mine.

Seems to me it’s just a bunch of serial killers working together.

I wish it was taken as seriously as this, because I too see it this way. You may not be pulling the trigger, but you most certainly killed that person by stoking their suicidal ideation.

You were going 17 over the posted limit, as per your story, and weren’t aware enough to know about it.

Reading comprehension ain’t your strong suit, eh bud?

Thanks for another one. Keep it going DJ Khaled.

I still remember when a friend of mine was 5 years into his transition the first time he was called "A cis white normy breeder!" at pride, and I think about that when I hear stories like this.

57-50=17? Did you attend school in America, or something? ChatGPT spit that answer out for you?

The speed limit was 40, as per the story.

It is really funny to me that you insult my level of education while failing at solving a word problem though, so thank you for that.

That is because technology, not because people are better than they were 2000 years ago.

Who are "our handlers"?

I agree. My point is the problem is bad drivers are bad drivers so roundabouts, etc are a waste and won't do anything to solve the issue.

There are more design choices than just roundabouts…

Do I have to list every single one for you to get the point?

Even when I lived in rural areas, the zones were 30kph where I am from. Parks, and playgrounds, are also generally included.

You were going 17 over the posted limit, as per your story, and weren't aware enough to know about it.

You shouldn't have a license.

Take care.

You know that you can drive a car you don’t own right?

You know it costs money to gas, maintain, insure, and/or rent a car right?

And not every person who is ticketed is driving like an asshole. I got a 100 dollar ticket for driving 57 in what was normally a 50 km zone, but there was brand new signage up that I had literally 4 seconds to read (I went back and timed it) that gave: months of the year, days of the week, and hours of the day that the new 40 km/h speed limit was enforced. But because I can’t read at the speed of light while driving down the road, bam, ticket.

Fact of the matter is you were speeding before they adjusted the sign, it is your responsibility as a driver to obey all posted signage, and if you cannot abide by the rules of the road as well as be capable of reading and responding to signage I do not believe you should be allowed to drive because you are a risk to everyone around you.

You deserved that ticket, and I wish they had suspended your license until you were retested.

The school zones in my area are 30kph, and a lot of people find that excessive and want it slower, so 50 is wild to me.

Poor people generally don't own cars, and if you can afford to own a personal vehicle, you can afford to pay for driving like an asshole in one.

Where do you live with a 50km/h school zone? That is psychotic.

Notice how I said "idea" and not "person".

No need to act offended over your misunderstanding. Check your emotions before engaging people in the future.

Take care.

But calling someone toxic for wanting to try does not feel helpful for anyone.

Show me where I called someone toxic.
