  Re: So here's a light question....
 
(...) Yeah!! And what about 'Other World'? I never did find out how they got back. 'Automan'? Always loved those 90 degree turns. 'Sledgehammer'? Now there was a classic police show if I ever saw one. :) -H. (22 years ago, 22-Jan-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  So here's a light question....
 
Why is it that the shows I really like get cancelled? I loved 'Sports Night'--gone after 2 seasons. ''KRP'? Like the wind... And now 'Firefly'. Grr!!! At least Babylon 5 eeked out the 5 seasons that jms wanted, and MASH got its 11. But it seems as (...) (22 years ago, 22-Jan-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

  Re: Ticket prices going up
 
(...) It may be an urban myth, but I'm pretty sure that in the UK we are allowed a 10% margin of error. Scott A (22 years ago, 22-Jan-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: illegal Taxpayer funded campaigning ?
 
(...) David, I'm sure you'll agree that in this "free world" we have a duty to respect others before we exercise our freedoms – no matter where we/they are. The best argument I've heard against the SUV culture was from Moores "Stupid White Men": (...) (22 years ago, 22-Jan-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: Ticket prices going up
 
(...) Indeed, can not argue with that (...) I don't view it as cut and dry as that. can you be 100% sure that your speedo is that accurate. your speedo might be registering 98Kph but your actual speed may be 102Kph. there is a fair bit of debate (...)

  Re: Ticket prices going up
 
(...) IIRC the earthquake occurred at around 5:04pm, so I would guess that moron probably wrote ~your~ ticket earlier in the day. Maggie C. (22 years ago, 22-Jan-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: illegal Taxpayer funded campaigning ?
 
(...) Right you are... sorry for missing that! (22 years ago, 22-Jan-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: Ticket prices going up
 
(...) Ok, you have clarified your stance. The way I read that post, it seemed to take a different view that you were expressing now. Frank (22 years ago, 22-Jan-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: Ticket prices going up
 
(...) I got a parking ticket notice from the city of San Francisco a number of years back. I was a bit puzzled since I hadn't been there in a year, but how do I prove it? It was as easy as checking the date: a half dozen of us were in SoCal (or (...) (22 years ago, 22-Jan-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: Ticket prices going up
 
(...) Now that is one of the most enlightening points of view on this subject I have heard in years! :) I must add though, that if driving is just a privilege (as you and so many law enforcers have said), then what would the state do if no one (...)

  Re: Ticket prices going up
 
(...) I am fascinated by this thread. I consider myself one who is generally lawful and generally appreciative of law and codes of conduct. Yet, I admittedly do not adhere to speed regulations while operating motor vehicles or heavy equipment. Be it (...) (22 years ago, 21-Jan-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: illegal Taxpayer funded campaigning ?
 
(...) Oh come on Larry, it's quite clearly meant to refer to Sterling currency. In for a "1p" in for a "£". Mind you I wonder what we'll say if we ever take the plunge? "In for a cent, in for a Euro" sounds rubbish. (22 years ago, 21-Jan-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: Ticket prices going up
 
(...) Frank, I am not sure what you are seeing there -- I think it was my intent to be cautious about saying anything for certain about that instance of possible child beating. I did subsequently see the camera/video footage of the beating and if (...) (22 years ago, 21-Jan-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: illegal Taxpayer funded campaigning ?
 
(...) I've actually seen the SUV ad and appreciated it-it was a good play on sweet and innocent girl doing the voice over against her actual words, much like the satire 'See Spot Run' cartoons I've seen in the past, in which Spot is not anything (...)

  Re: Ticket prices going up
 
(...) Now I remember why I appreciate you in .debate (as if I'd ever forget...) ;) Not to give you a way of procrastinating... The fastest I've ever driven myself was 190 kph. It was in my new (then) 1986 Honda Prelude, and it was going down the (...) (22 years ago, 21-Jan-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: Ticket prices going up
 
(...) I'm curious if this is a change in stance from this post of yours: (URL) 17688, you seemed to be willing to take action based on a single camera (granted, a video camera, but still, just from a single angle). I am cautious of taking action (...) (22 years ago, 21-Jan-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: Ticket prices going up
 
(...) I gotta be bored at work ;) I'm not talking about what may happen. I'm talking about what did happen--someone drove over the speed limit and a picture was taken. No one had a pic taken because they were 'going to' break the speed limit--that's (...) (22 years ago, 21-Jan-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  illegal Taxpayer funded campaigning ?
 
In for a penny, in for a pound (1), as they say... Herewith an article from Reason, one of my favorite magazines: (URL) the case that our Drug Czar has been using taxpayer funds to cock referendums without obeying the proper forms... I hope NV finds (...) (22 years ago, 21-Jan-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: Ticket prices going up
 
(...) I'm not scared, I'm not apprehensive, I'm just busy. Not SO busy that I wasn't willing to toss one post in, but busy enough that I wanted to keep it short. It's a large topic, it's been visited before, etc. As for doing away with ot-d, I (...) (22 years ago, 21-Jan-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
