What is your reaction to that statement?

(15,429 posts)Completely unrelated to this post. And you are wrong. But if you want to stereotype groups based on the actions of a few bad apples then go ahead, but explain to me how that's different than what the racist RW does?

Whether the speaker says 'All xxx are yyy' or 'God hates zzz' it comes from the same place.
Bigotry is bigotry, no matter what clothes it wears.

then it's every boob for herself to try to get out of one!

(53,410 posts)For all we know she was stopped because of her boobs. In my youth my experience was that most men have a very hard time looking women in the eye because they can't tear their eyes away from their breasts.

(14,733 posts)It's amazing how much control the earlier, more animal parts of our brains and our glands have over behaviour. Fight, flight, eat, mate. It's a lot easier (to look at faces) now that the testosterone levels have decreased, though.

(23,487 posts)It's happened about 3 times in the past few decades. (I don't get tons of tickets.)I was told by a cop that they don't like giving tickets to nurses. Doesn't work so well now that all the tickets are from photos where I live now.

A couple of days ago I was getting out of my truck at the grocery store and some young guy rolls up, also in a truck, sporting a bumper sticker saying, "Show me your tits." For a second I thought seriously about complying and scarring the fucker for life (I'm 60 and things aren't as perky as they used to be).

(27,630 posts)As in, if you reply to the statement, the person sends you a private message telling you that you fell for the trap and now you need to post it on your own facebook page (which I did not do).
That's right, I fell for it and replied to her. But no way would I post it on my own facebook!
Just ignore it

(5,781 posts)To Mineral Man in post 23: Have women told me they used their looks or flirted their way out of a ticket? Yes, I've heard that and I'm surprised you have not. Have I heard it often? Not as often as when I was in my 20s and 30s and my female circle of friends was younger. I will add that I've also seen the reverse. Back in the early to mid 90s, there was a stretch of I-95 I commuted on every day, and an FHP officer that I got to recognize by sight that patrolled the stretch. If he had someone pulled over, the odds were that a) the one pulled over was female and b) the one pulled over was blonde.
To Control-Z in post 25: My point in posting was that I genuinely wondered how DUers would react -- would they find it funny? would they be annoyed that some can use their looks to get out of a ticket? would they see it as yet another indictment against the current state of policing. I never expected to get 44 responses -- most of which made me chuckle.
