Then despite failing the reality check, it was good for something (like a chuckle)

Surely not "exactly a bribe" !?
If I pay the fine and tell the officer the rest is for him, then it means I tell him I do not care about the bribe and he can kiss my ass.
All hypothetical, of course.

I meant I do not care about the fine, sorry.

The next time you interact with a police officer, why don't you try this strategy:

"Hey, pig, my tax dollars pays your salary, so technically you work for me. Get off my ass, and go deal with some illegals!

I have found this is very well received by officers. They really enjoy being put in their place, and being told the truth.

Hypothetically, of course....

Not bad.


How do you like the german "Reichsbürger" style?


These are people that tell the institutions (including police) that the institutions have no sovereignty on them, because the current German republic is just a fake (in their eyes); they say they are still citizens of the German empire (of 1914 or before).


That's also a position that the officals enjoy. Some more, some less.

I don't. It's a bit scary. But if I may please be forgiven for trying to lighten the mood a little...

Is that anything like the GANGNAM STYLE (or the hilarious NASA Johnson Style)?

To be honest, I didn't want to bring national stereotypes into this. But...

What is a definition of heaven? Where the Germans are the engineers, the English are the police, and the French are the cooks.

What is a definition of hell? Where the French are the engineers, the Germans are the police, and the English are the cooks....

Lightening the mood is always a good idea. I didn't see a "Reichbürger style" music video yet, but who knows what will come ;-)

Yeah. Bill Maher says the same thing about Dems and Libs and all that jive. "Stop apologizing and kick some ass!" to roughly paraphrase. I don't count myself with those he accuses. But my anger at the moneyed class makes no difference except when I succeed in instilling seditious thoughts in others.

Besides, I have many other reasons to despise the Democratic machine. Sanders is again in near coverage blackout in the MSM. It stinks to borders of space that the Dem power structure wants either to foist another Clinton Biden on us, or a crypto-neolib who can shuck and jive the common folks.

Besides, their corporate masters don't really care which of their paid-for minion organizations "wins" in the long run. It is certainly more convenient to have a Reagan or a Trump, but the approved list of Dem candidates are those who may talk of change, but keep on keeping on with the MIIC. In the outside chance that ol' Joe would win, everybody knows where he stands.

EDIT:"What is a definition of hell? Where the French are the engineers, the Germans are the police, and the English are the cooks." Along those lines, here is "Strictly Genteel," the finale of Frank Zappa's movie "200 Motels." The first sentence which Theo Bickel sings is the relevant part to the foregoing thread. But this is from 1971, shot entirely on video, which was quite cutting edge, I think. Frank did go wild with what might be called psychedelic effects, even though he shunned all psychoactive drugs except caffeine and nicotine, as in coffee and endless cigarettes.
I first saw this when I was 18 or 19, and it had quite an effect. I was already a Zappa fan, but this was a new dimension, with the video/movie.

In 200 Motels, the film attempts to portray the craziness of life on the road as a rock musician, and as such consists of a series of unconnected nonsense vignettes interspersed with concert footage of the Mothers of Invention.[3] Ostensibly, while on tour The Mothers of Invention go crazy in the small fictional town of Centerville ("a real nice place to raise your kids up"), wander around, and get beaten up in "Redneck Eats", a cowboy bar. In an animated interlude passed off as a "dental hygiene movie," bassist "Jeff", tired of playing what he refers to as "Zappa's comedy music", is persuaded by his bad conscience to quit the group, as did his real-life counterpart Jeff Simmons, who was fired for insubordination before the film began shooting. Simmons was replaced by Martin Lickert (who was Ringo's chauffeur) for the film.[2] Almost every scene is drenched with video special effects (double and triple exposures, solarisation, false color, speed changes, etc.) which were innovative in 1971. The film has been dubbed a "surrealistic documentary".[4][5]
