Just another in a long list of reasons why Fuzz loves this State, while I despise it, and disagree with the majority of the folks who call it home. Every time we come back from the RV, my wife and I look at each other and say “why the h*ll do we still live here?” Dependant aging parents that refuse to relocate. That's why.

Of course the Blood Hound Gang on their album Horary for B00bies has a song entitled ‘The Ten Best Things About New Jersey’.

The song is 10 seconds of silence . . . . .

there are countless reports that show rear end collisions going UP after installing cameras. The facts are that red light cameras are unconstitutional and do very little to reduce deaths. The people who flat out run red lights are either drunk or so far out of reality a camera isnt going to stop it. I saw a lady a few weeks ago, i dont know if she was daydreaming or what, but she just drove through it and never hit the brakes, it had been red for a few seconds. cameras dont stop it, just raise money.

i highly doubt that poll is correct but im sure their opinion would change after getting a ticket saying you crossed the line at .001 seconds after the light turned red.

great article. chicago generated $64 MILLION in revenue last year. yeah, im sure its about saving lives.

While we are speaking about rationality, why the hell was my name even mentioned in the original post, and why was it associated with sh*t I have never agreed with or even talked about? Yes, I'm the irrational one. You called me out in the OP for some stupid, juvinile reason, and here I am, boo hoo for you.

Government the heck out of our lives, but it's a losing battle in this state.


Years ago, before all the housing developments overtook the farm land, along with the influx of northern liberals, the southern part of this state was full of conservative farmers, hunters and pineys. There was even a movement to secede from the north and become our own state. But ya’ll in the south know how that works out. Lovers of freedom and self reliance have been leaving in a mass exodus ever since. About time I join them.

Housing developments? That's just capitalism at work baby. You don't want government to step in and tell those folks not to sell their land to developers so they can build all those 55 and older communities, do you? Of course not, it's the market at work! McMansions and strip malls, a few Benigens and gotta get the cafeteria places there for the old folks. They like those with their early bird specials and all. F the farms, they don't make enough money.

Lovers of freedom my ass. You want to just regulate sh*t the way you want to. No abortions, prayer in schools, no Muslims, or whatever little pet peeve you have. God damn hypocrites. I not a fan of NJ either, too many damn people and our governor is an idiot, but you can move any time you want, as can I. You are just a whiny ass little bitch. Have a lovely day. ;)

Yeah, big words suck. We don't need no education. WTF? Who really is proud of going around being ignorant? Don't answer that, it was rhetorical. Sh*t, sorry, that was one of 'dem big wurds.

Typical liberal.
You equate big words with education.
You assume that those who choose to use the more simple words are ignorant.
Nobody is saying they don't understand the big words. They just don't like the pretentious attitude that so many northerners embrace while wearing out their thesaurus.
In other words: Get over yourself.

But back on topic: I LOVE New Jersey.
If not for them, then Massachusetts would be the biggest suck state around.

It's not that I equate big words with education, it's that I equate disdain for big words with a lack of education. I hope you can understand the difference.

I know you have politicians and radio and tv people telling you all the time that education doesn't matter, and that you know what's right and you have a free mind and you love freedom, but strange how most of those people have all the same ideas and listen to the same damn people and everyone who goes to college is a brainwashed liberal. blah blah blah.

People like Herman Cain telling you he thinks that the laws of this country should be written so that Joe Schmoe with an 8th grade education can understand them, nice and short. Seriously? Let's dumb it all down a little more just to avoid a little more of that pretentious attitude. Don't want to be like those freakin' Europeans with their damn book learnin'.

No, let's just be slaves to the corporate machine, stay stupid, don't ask questions and think we're free because we can choose between 60 different brands of cookies ownedby 2 different companies all made from crap that will kill us.

Morons.

Here is the funny thing that you are not getting in any way and neither are so many of those who are the big complainers on your 'side'.

The stuff you just complained about on this thread are things that liberals, yes liberals, have been fighting against forever. You complain about it and then blame us for it. It's madness, and it pisses me off.

Moved out of NJ to AZ 14 years ago. Best decision I ever made...

We've already had the cameras for a few years.... Now most are gone!!!

The age old argument of if you have to pay a photo ticket. Well here the answer is NO. So unless the city, county etc wants to pay a collection agency to track down the law breakers for 50% of the ticket fee payment is voluntary.

It became a issue of it was more expensive to have the cameras then to get rid of them. The overreaching expectations of revenu never materalized plus installation, maintenance, fees etc are very expensive to have the cameras. Take it from me... I worked at one of the leading companies for a while....

It's one of those 'simple' ways to raise revenue, even though it might not. Like sin taxes, allowing casinos to open, and lotteries. No need to make any real hard decisions that way and just push the problems down the road.

honestly, right and lefty are both milking the system together. look at the new republican sponsored welfare drug test law in FL. Turns out, the governor owns a bunch of medi quick offices (which do drug testing), he transferred ownership to a trust fund in his wife's name just in april 2011. Plus even if a receipient fails a drug test, all they do is name a friend or family member to receive the benefits for them. So all that really happens is a lot of state money is spent on drug tests and those of us who work and pay taxes feel like the republicans are looking out for us and our hard earned money when in fact they are not.

both sides are regulating us into oblivion. the reality of the world is bad things happen, people die and life goes on.
