Maybe we need to change the dumbass laws to match people's driving.
Eh, tell it to someone who cares, but I don't think anyone with the power actually cares.

Back to topic, I can't believe almost 1/4 of you go more than 15 mph over the limits normally. That's excessive speeding! You need to change your habit or it will bite you in the ass sooner or later.
On the roads around here sometimes, changing those habits would make us risk of getting rear ended!

So I'd appreciate a bow down and "thank you!" for saving your families from murderers or catching murderers before they murder YOUR families.
How about this instead?

^^^ Nice one, Mav.

Officer Down can't answer any of the arguments put forth. He simply responds with rhetoric or insults.

He still doesn't think it's a big deal that he breaks the laws he's paid to enforce, and personally, I'd rather he stayed home and saved my wallet instead of stalking me on the highway.

hardly....

toronto has a metropolitan population of 4+ million....for the past 5 years, we have had an average of 57 homicides. half of those are a result of domestic disputes....about the same for gang-related.

on average, 6 were random....for which there is no countermeasure.

i'm not in a domestic dispute situation, nor do i belong to a gang.

as such, your existence is inconsequential to me.

And Toronto is similar to Seattle, how? And Toronto is similar to L.A., how? Point: each city is different. Your city may not have a lot of murders, but there are more than enough here to keep me busy. Frankly, I'd rather there be much less so I can sit on my ass and make fun of the typical Asian little pricks like Mav. But reality is different here. Why don't you move to Los Angeles and tell me murders are also infrequent?

My existence is inconsequential to you? Haha! That's just stupid! Your existence is also inconsequential to me. It is my job that we're talking about, not my existence. As such, existence of the little Asian punks, like Mav, is also inconsequential and hurtful to society too. Just kidding on that one! My job is to investigate murders, my existence is to pick on little punks.
