Read the signature.
That sums my view up.

when i PMed you saying you might want to explain yourself, i would hope you would do it without insulting more people and calling what they say crap. Guess you didnt get it. Just thought youd explain that you made a mistake and wasent thinking and overgeneralized. heh

Why draw attention to the fact that you refuse to apologise?
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.

I took out the personal namecalling, which I think is what caused the trouble.
I stand by my belief that the responses were largely crumb as they were full of personal attacks and some clown even trying to imply he wants to "know where I live".

Stuff like that is even less mature than what I said.

Anyway, I'll say it again, yeah it was a silly remark to make because it's a wild overgeneralization I should have realized because I have had good experiences with cops too who were smart guys who realized I wasn't doing anything that wrong and let me off.

On the other hand I've dealt with true a$$holes who treat me like crap.
One guy when I was 16 pulled me over, and I didn't have my license on me so he kept refusing to believe me when I told him my name because it wasn't on file. He'd ask me the same question over and over again and I'd give him the same answer.
HE should have been the one in that accident.
My taxes pay their salary so they should treat me accordingly.

Fact is there are bad cops and they deserve whatever unpleasant fates they get, although I shouldn't lump the good ones in with them.

Bad cops, like the ones that drive around without a license?
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.

yes there are bad cops, this guy didnt seem to be one of them, at least his last act wasent bad, yet you made it seem like it was. So a simple appology, saying you made a mistake and dropping this crap about the name calling. it happens man, you screwed up, pissed people off, and thats what happend. so just clean your side with an appology and be done with it.
