    That viral video from that kid in TN. It’s not traditional bullying, it’s physical and emotional torment

    I see. Keebler that was funny. I enjoyed it. I also agree bullying is terrible and a worse problem today than when I was a kid. Back in the dark ages if a 7 year old kicked the stuffing out of a bully he wouldn't be the one punished. Also if said 7 year old was too small to defend herself Dad would go kick the stuffing out of bully"s dad without fear of going to jail. Today We have allowed the government to protect us instead. How's that working for ya?

    To put this into a drivers perspective. Many drivers get bullied on the road by 4 wheelers. Case in point.
    Hubby going down off ramp. Car passes him hit guard rail then tries to blame him for it. They say he didn't give way. Hubby says they were trying to make him move so they could be in front. Cop says stupid driver was at fault for they went on shoulder to get around truck on exit ramp. This actually happened twice to hubby. Drivers trying to blame truckers for their bad driving habits. Or thinking to get insurance money. What happened to them we don't know as he was told to move on as he was not at fault. But from what cop said he was going to throw the book at them for they lied to him as well as doing illegal driving.

    Wouldn't it be nice if we drivers would be kind to one another? The public and especially shippers tend to treat us so badly we could use a little support from each other.

    It would be nice if humans were just kind and respectful to each other, politely disagreeing over a topic, but not resorting to name calling and vulgarity.
    It’s an easy term .
    “I disagree “ says the point.
     
    UturnGirl and Highway Sailor Thank this.

    The way I see it, is the fcc director was a higher up at Verizon, so killing net neutrality was a wink and a nod to his old boss. Nobody except ISPs wanted this.
    My problem with the fcc is they are an appointed body, answerable to nobody. Much like the FMCSA, they can change the rules and nobody can stop them, unless Congress takes action.
    I’m hoping congress takes action.
     
    UturnGirl Thanks this.
