Example or Disgrace ?

PMZQNew MemberOPA stressed-out woman on a busy boulevard was tailgating a man. Suddenly, the light turned yellow, just in front of him. He did the right thing, stopping at the crosswalk, even though he could have beaten the red light by accelerating through the intersection.
The tailgating woman was furious and honked her horn, screaming in frustration as she missed her chance to get through the intersection, dropping her cell phone and makeup.
As she was still in mid-rant, she heard a tap on her window and looked up into the face of a very serious police officer. The officer ordered her to exit her car with her hands up. He took her to the police station where she was searched, finger printed, photographed, and placed in a holding cell.
After a couple of hours, a policeman approached the cell and opened the door. She was escorted back to the booking desk where the arresting officer was waiting with her personal effects. He said, "I'm very sorry for this mistake. You see, I pulled up behind your car while you were blowing your horn, flipping off the guy in front of you, and cussing a blue streak at him. I noticed the 'What Would Jesus do?' bumper sticker, the 'Choose Life' license plate holder, the 'Follow Me to Sunday-School' bumper sticker, and the chrome-plated Christian fish emblem on the trunk, naturally...I assumed you had stolen the car."

Forget all that other stuff.
"A man's suffering is similar to the behavior of gas. If a certain quantity of gas is pumped into an empty chamber, it will fill the chamber completely and evenly, no matter how big the chamber. Thus, suffering completely fills the human soul and conscious mind, no matter whether the suffering great or little. Therefore, the "size" of human suffering is absolutely relative." - Viktor Frankl
BigDogsHuntNew MemberThe cop should have arrested the first car that failed to go while still yellow thus impeading her ability to drive normally and also make it thru the intersection.
That first car and its inability to drive properly was clearly being a "Satan-Loving Brake-hugger" and a toolbox!!!!

"If you laugh, you think, and you cry, that's a full day. That's a heck of a day. You do that seven days a week, you're going to have something special."

It depends on how close I am to the stoplight, if a green liht turns yellow a few feet ahead of me I'll take it.

I understand that. But when you have people that are gay or Atheist or otherwise outside the "norm", then those people hear it a lot too. I can tell you this, I've never been given any guff for being Atheist by anyone other than people who consider themselves Christian.
I think the problem is, the good ones, like yourself and Ohio, and many others here are just not darn vocal enough.:yes:

I think the problem is that the Catholic church (and right or wrong Christians get lumped in with this) has spent centuries criticizing and telling others what to do and pretending they did no wrong themselves (despite many atrocities). This makes anybody who aligns themselves with the church a target when they screw up.
MiamianNew MemberBack on track. It's refreshing to see that someone didn't get away with doing something illegal.
Being accustomed to getting away with doing something instills a sense of entitlement. Being arrested would be a little over the top for a traffic violation but she should definitely get a warning.
