Please take 60 seconds... CA front plate petition

Let's face it, online petitions don't do squat. I doubt anyone in the state assembly will look at an Internet petition without laughing. If you want this off the books, handwrite (don't email, don't type) a letter to your local state assemblyman and senator and have all of your friends do the same. Then, if they reply that cities in your congressional district want the front plates so they can use red-light cameras to raise revenue, then you (and a bunch of your friends) will have to go to city hall and speak in front of the council to protest the use of cameras as a degradation to your quality of life. Then, so the council/Board of Supervisors takes you seriously, you have to come up with an alternate source of revenue to replace the cameras.

Seriously, that's what you gotta do to get noticed politically. Either that, or you know John Burton.

Jesus christ. If you want a Euro plate that bad, move to a state that either doesn't enforce those laws or only requires one plate. Or better yet... move to Europe.
Why is it that everyone gets their panties in a bunch when they can't "customize" their cars with super-kool EURO gear?

Hmmm. Your lover accidentally shot in your eye huh? WHat the fuck is your problem? He asked a question and there was no need to unleash your infantile whining on him. He wants to go about changing a law he considers unnecessary and solely for revenue through the legal avenues. Your girlish dramatic reaction wasnt needed nor asked for and it doesnt help the situation at all. The fact that you personally abide by all laws and lie down with great eagerness to get fucked by laws which you may or may not agree with does not mean that everyone is as docile as yourself. Since its obvious by your response that you dont question or want to change anything you consider to be wrong. Your logic is so simplistic and "black and white", Im actually wondering if you were joking or you just didnt go beyond Grade 4 in school. Move to Europe and leave his entire life and family and livelihood just because he wants to put a european plate on the front of his car? Thats quite possibly the most rediculous thing Ive heard all week. The only other explanation for your repulsively bitter and venomous response is that you simply are a miserable and worthless being who feels they need to unleash their rotten attitude unto the world or to those who are of more character than oneself. In any case, Id suggest possibly looking inward and not being such an intolerably repugnant douchebag. The only person getting their panties in a bunch is you, so keep your judgemental asshole comments to yourself, cool guy. You are the type of person that bring others day and mood down just because youre a miserable prick. I dont want those kind of people on this forum, so Ill tell you this.... please adjust your shitty attitude, or you can happily and freely start looking for another shithole forum to frequent. OK? I cant stand people who are so fucking stupid that they cant look outside of themselves and see something from others points of view. Fucking paleolithic man. Insult to retards.

Thanks for all proving my point by flipping out when I questioned the importance of a fake license plate.
And Tangent is right, some online petition isn't going to do much.
I just don't get the whole fake Euro plate thing, and why people are so protective of it. So sue me. It'd be cool if there was some story behind it, like you used to live in Europe and it was an actual plate off your car there. But I give up on understanding the importance of this idea.

Whether the petition does much or not isnt the point here, nor is it anything in your field of expertise or control. The fact that you are enthusiastically shitting on Matts idea is more the point here. Why is the euro plate thing for you to "get"? You dont like it, dont use it. Why be an asshole to those who want to. Or are you such an asshole that everyone has to like what you like?? Maybe he likes the shape of it, maybe he has a relative who lives in Europe that he really loves. Why does he has to run his "story" by you. So you can approve of it? WHat if it doesnt satisfy your stringent requirements for being worthy of signing a petition, then what?? Because its not important to you, it shouldnt be important to him, is what youre saying. Try to understand that if you can muster the brain power.

I just think it's a little ridiculous to try and further tie up a state's already fucked up government by having to deal with a petition that suggests requiring only one license plate, so that people can legally display their fake plates for cosmetic reasons.
I'm not an expert on California's laws or politics, but I'll take an educated guess and predict that no matter how many people signed that petition, nothing will happen. Some states require 2 plates for specific reasons. I am in favor of some of those reasons.

Again, another very ignorant response by an obviously intolerant person. Where do we submit which ideas are good enough to bother our "fucked up" government over? And these "specific reasons" you are in favor of.... did anyone ask you?? Is your opinion worth a single solitary shit in this particular issue? The fact that YOU are in favor of these reasons (none of which you have even bothered mentioning) means he should not even bother trying to change something for which HE may have equally valid reasons?? Or are your reasons the only ones of merit here?


I agree that online petitions dont do anything. But this jerkoff over here just stepped over the line in his superbly douchebaggish response.

Haha interesting video. There is a lot of that in California for sure! I wonder if the guy making the video can walk in the station and tell some one about the offending officer.

My thought was IF you do get a ticket, challenge it in court. Before your court date, go to the local police station, and get some shots of the employee parking lot, and show that to the Judge - now that would be interesting.

lots of lulz from the posts from the second half of this decade in this thread.
