Beauty is in the eye of the beholder…
Hmmm…on another forum I’m being berated as a goody two shoes because I don’t speed and I always wear a seatbelt…yet here, anyone who speeds is being derided…

Sneaky or not, you should be driving within speed limits ….for your own sake, and not that of others.
As for being educated not to speed…
Errrr…..they do that when you take your driving licence, if you don’t get it, it’s your own fault.
What I say is stop blaming the system for your own flaws.That’s us told! :lol:
Me thinks….someone is taking the (word of choice) ? :lol:

I understand the ruling but would you want to be on a bus driven by him?
Would you want to work alongside him?
If he drove his bus safely and was considerate to all passengers regardless of their race or any other factors, then yes I would get on his bus.
I have worked alongside people whose views were distasteful to me including, similar to the point made by moms, a man who did not believe that women should be in the workplace. It had been a male-dominated environment for many years so it wasn’t an issue until women started to break into it – I was only the second female (other than the MD’s PA and the tea lady) in the department. We all knew his views, it wasn’t a secret. He communicated with women only as far as his job required him to and he did his job to the satisfaction of all, so did I and the other women who came into the department after me, that’s what we were paid for. You’re not paid to like someone or to agree with their views, you’re paid to do a job to an acceptable standard and if you don’t like the working environment for whatever reason, you look for another job.
We encounter people throughout our daily lives whose views, if we knew them, might well be abhorrent to us…but we don’t know, because they don’t advertise them. If someone believes in something enough to stand up for their beliefs, should we respect their right to do that even if we disagree, or should we punish them for their beliefs? If we go down that road, where does it end?
Some of us do… :P
One day I’ll understand what he’s saying…
You have a boaby? :shock: :lol:
Sheer ignorance!
