Worse work stories

[GrayWolf]

i don't quite see the link between "training" and "license" could you explain this to me?
i say yes. i have the right to travel as and where i please. now, i'm sure you'd rather that i travel in some kind of vehicle on the road, rather than say, through the park, through your yard, through the shopping malls etc.
and you'd rather that that vehicle was of a warrantable standard, whether or not i've paid the whatever$ for some jerk off to tick the boxes on his sheet, and that the vehicle was designed for the road, rather than say, a tank. innit?

now. you say i do not have that right? by what authority?

I guess the question is, what authority is given to YOU? You do not have a 'right' to travel by motor vehicle, its a privilege, you do not have a latent or absolute right to travel where and how you please... It protects the 'masses' from diiots who do think they have some inane right to do as they please... (societal expectation)

my bike is ~220kW/t (and 750cc) but it's not exactly the kind of bike one'll do themselves a mischief on. going fast requires a bit of work.

So? an H1 500 is only 60bhp and 174kg dry with 5.85kg-m of torque, but in its day and as this tester pointed out it was considered a lethal machine with its handling quirks, not forgetting the modern tyres fitted, which really would help handling when compared to dunlop TT100 or Avon Speedmaster of the era. http://www.motorcyclespecs.co.za/mod...20500%2070.htm

Definitely has an interesting sound for a stroker

[CookMySock]

Gee there would be hospitals burning and babies dying if it wasn't for what you did that day!

What $$ value straight in the govts pocket just for one days work? $5k ?

There are some retarded drivers out there fore shore.

Did the B4 driver gap it, or stop accross the street?

They both ended up in the side street, with at least one witness pulling up as well...so no worries there.

Nicely summed up, and yet in the case of the rooster this statement is aimed at...it's quite unlikely to encounter much friction as it travels in one ear and out the other...

[Akzle]

For best effect be sure to make gratuitous use of the words "WAHH WAHH WAHH" and "BOO HOO HOO".

no that would be silly.
sounds like the mating call of your mother. and i'd hate to go there again, son.

no. you didn't answer my question, but i'll do you the courtesy of answering yours.

what authority? god's authority. the authority of being born. same as you. i have no rights above you, you have no rights above me, putting on a glock and silly little blue hat doesn't give you any more authority either.
same as writing some hundred thousand pieces of legislation (acts) doesn't detract from my inherent authority.
i'm not an actor, i'm not under the judicature of a crown court, so i don't need to know the script by which to act.

incase you've missed it in my previous posts I AM NOT A PART OF ANY "SOCIETY" that you think i am.
so.
am i obliged to hold a license?

I would have thought it was understood, but by living or visiting a country, you are agreeing to live by its laws. The fact of the matter is, you only have as much or as little freedom as the people with the force to restrict those freedoms allow.

If you were to visit North Korea, for example, and were to bang on about how evil Kim Jong Il is (or was), your "freedom of speech" would mean little to nothing. You could tell the North Koreans until you were blue in the face that you're not "part of their society" or you didn't agree to their government or whatever, but you'd still end up in jail for a very long time. Whether or not it's right is completely irrelevant.

By living and continuing to live in New Zealand, you ARE a part of the society. You can try to squirrel it away any way you like. No, you dont *HAVE* to have a license to drive a motorcycle. Nobody is going to hold a gun to your head and force you to obtain one. However, you will have to suffer the consequences should get caught without one. And I very much doubt any judge or police officer is going to be swayed by your "im not part of your society the laws dont apply to me i didn't sign them you have no authority speech".

I am curious though, Akzle. If somebody without a license were to hit you, and you suffered expensive, extensive injuries. Since you're "not part of my society", does that mean you would turn down ACC's payment for your injuries? After all, its not your government. They have no authority over you. You wouldn't accept their money surely? And you pay full price for all of your doctors visits and any prescription drugs that are resultant of?

Because honestly, accepting the benefits of having a centralized government but refusing to follow the laws of said government is hypocritical at best. It's sort of an all or nothing deal. Either you're in agreement with the government or you're not. You can't pick and choose.

Akzel.
A curiosity question only
Do you have a birth certificate?

Now, when my ex partner and I visited the abortion clinic, we only left with an appointment card for counselling if we wanted it. How would the fetus manage to get a certificate?

[rastuscat]

Single cell life forms rarely have birth certificates.

[FJRider]

Single cell life forms rarely have birth certificates.

His "society" isn't authorised to issue birth certificates ... and he is the only one in his "society" that can read anyway.

He is a total rebel. Swims against the current. Eshews industrial society. Except for his Mac owneship. And all the rest.

[Kickaha]

Thats a problem right there, 1stly if he wants to fuck him self up should there be a crash it should be his own right

It shouldn't be his own right if others have to clean up the mess he leaves, scrape him off the road etc

Loving the idea, but it sounds a little career limiting.
