I didn’t disagree with your “allocation” nor did I accuse you of antisemitism nor did I “connect Israel with all Jews”, perhaps your reading comprehension is worse than you would like to think. Explaining subtext as to why something would be perceived as a thing doesn’t make you that thing.

Let me put it this way: is it antisemitic to forget that the Jewish victim exists when discussing Nazis stealing art ? If not, does it SEEM like antisemitism if YOU then start talking about taking that money/painting that was stolen and rightfully belongs to some Jewish family somewhere, and giving it to Palestine?

Your comment made the connection.

The funds, or painting itself, should be returned to the families it was stolen from. That family was very likely Jewish. So you saying “give it to Palestine!” implies taking from Jewish people, which would be unfair, but in this context also implies they “owe” it because Israel is to blame, and Jews=Israel.

I do see your connection now that you have explained it though, I wonder if maybe you just stumbled and missed the very negative subtext within your suggestion.

Citations needed. And don’t start talking about red light cameras, I am discussing speed cameras. I don’t like red light cameras for all your reasons listed.

I too love winding highway roads. They never seem to be where these cameras are.

Weak personal attack.

Use your brain. You are advocating to make roads into obstacle courses in order to slow everyone down. By definition you are making that road a skill issue for half the population, assuming you build the road to the “average” drivers ability at the speed needed. Which also means half the population is gonna be capable of going faster than that, which it seems you would then believe they are just gonna speed anyways?

Why do that? What if instead there was a simple, effective, low cost way to communicate a “limit”? That way we could just put a sign up. And if things change, or we start seeing somewhere were that “limit” we have set is to slow or fast, we can just change the sign instead of redesigning the neighbourhood. We of course would have to create a system of enforcement…

And why should I, someone who can read and respects speed limits the majority of the time, have to suffer narrow garbage roads? Why can’t we treat people like adults? It’s bonkers the arguments I see whenever there is an article about speed cameras.

Obey the speed limit. The end. Nothing else has to change in society. I know it’s a big ask for all the grown ass humans who apparently never matured, but I’m sick of this stupidity.

Sincerely: someone who got a mailed speeding ticket for $50 2 days ago for going 50km in a 40km zone. Did I tear up and stomp my feet like a 3 year old? No! My adult brain stepped in and I went “ah shit, I’ll have to pay more attention next time I’m in that area.”

In other words: “there are no facts to dispute the use of speed camera”

Agreed.

So… I am not trying to be clever here… That makes ICE qualified to manage protesters?

Why is ICE involved in handling this protest? I had no idea they were trained or authorized to do that.

'Aight. You really showed me with your not-at-all-defensive-bordering-on-demented response. I think I’m coming around to your well reasoned argument!

Being unable to read a sign posted every 200metres and act accordingly is a moral failing.

You are right that there are better ways to “guide” selfish idiots into driving slower, and the set fine means that it stings people like me (thanks for the underhanded insult though!) ruins others and means nothing to some. That’s a much bigger societal problem.

Fun fact: once people get ticketed, by and large they slow down. Then once enough people on the route get a ticket, TRAFFIC slows down.

Source: I was there for Parkside. It was wild watching more and more people shift to a slow speed. You could literally tell who’d been ticketed for a few weeks in the middle. There was a short time where I’d call it “chaotic” because enough people were slowed down but a large enough percentage were still speeding and you basically had a road with 2 speed “limits”

Within a few months it had all settled and now people drive slower there. I got one ticket. I paid it.

? What do you mean? It will be even cheaper to use immigrants now because they will have even fewer protections, and you can always cycle out all the complainers and anyone who takes too long to get anything done.

Would you be willing to explain the difference? I don’t know and I did do a google on it awhile back and I guess if I learned anything it didn’t stick…

Signed: idiot on the internet who wants to know these things.
