omg what are the unemployed minorities going to do?

[ADV1]

Dumb

[Bobby Light]

wuts dumb?

[BOORAH]

The law is pretty dumb, I don't think they should be able to tell you where on your property you can put your couch, I mean yes, I think it looks like **** most the time someone has a couch on their porch or deck, but its their house, they paid for it, they pay their taxes for it, and they should be able to put their couch where ever the **** they please.

And the fines are pretty ridiculous.

[Bobby Light]

back porch OK

but not front

[regal403]

back porch OK

but not front

What about Martin's house? The backyard faces a busy street, and the front yard faces a quiet dead end street.

Silly law.

[BOORAH]

Well yeah, but it all depends on how they make it look and stuff.
Like they could have a nice looking couch on there with a plastic cover that could look decent, better than what some people have.
Or it could look like complete ****, which in that case, they should be warned.

i thought this was a continuation of that rant

[regal403]

his deck has a roof over it right?

Yes, but what about when the deck isn't big enough to hold all the couches? Say, for the Fourth of July or a Cornhusker football game?

Some of his neighbors dislike people having fun. :shrug:

couches on porches look like ****

[regal403]

couches on porches look like ****

That is your opinion. I think rusty cars look like ****. I think cow **** smells like ****. I think the state capitol looks like a *****. Just because these are opinions that I hold (no matter how silly, no matter how valid), I do not think laws should be made to suit my arbitrary opinion.

they have a junk car law

[regal403]

Cool.

In Brazil, India, Indonesia, Israel, Lebanon and Mexico, Domino's still guarantees delivery within 30 minutes, or the order is free.

[BOORAH]

In Turkey too, because I got mine for free :D

[David]

neighboring properties can be a huge turn off for potiental buyers and can depreciate neighboring homes.

[David]

where is the couch i sold you?

[regal403]

they have a junk car law

Oh yeah? I was unaware.

What does that have to do with anything?

Martin

let me take a nasty **** on the hood of your truck.

govt is supposed to tell me what to do right?

[82355]

That made no sense to me. Anyone else know what message Spencer was trying to make there?

[coop]

looks to me that hes saying,

"Yes, Martin you are right. I know that the government is here to serve us so when I **** on your hood the police will come to my door and I will be charged with vandalism because they are protecting your rights. I agree that my opinions are only valid IF they don't impede on others personal rights such as personal property and in this case I would be impeding on your rights Martin."

[c0z]

haha

[82355]

Well if he had said he was gonna **** in his own yard while my truck was parked next to the curb in front of his house, it would have made some sense . . . .

[Bobby Light]

IM GONNA **** ALL OVER YOUR ****

[supercrackerbox]

Florine Joseph, who lives at the corner of 24th Street and Dudley Avenue, said she often goes out and cleans up the property near her home because she cares about her neighborhood. But she said some nice houses won’t sell because they’re near dilapidated homes.

I know that neighborhood, and if she claimed that, she is completely full of ****. And a couch on the porch does NOT equal a dilapidated home. This is a ****ing bullshit issue brought up by a bunch of bullshit nitpickers who really need to find better things to do with their time.

It just seems to me that there's a lot more important things that the City Council could be doing as opposed to worrying about a couch on some college students porch. They're why this city runs as slow as it does.


I agree completely.

[82355]

Someone on the Blaze said something inteligent??? Holy **** . . . . . . . .

I agree completely.

i looked at 30+ houses in 06 when i bought mine, if there was a poorly maintained house with a couch on the porch next door I wouldnt even consider it.

how many nice houses do you know of that have thier living room on the porch??? ive been to alot of them, all ****.

[supercrackerbox]

So removing all the couches will suddenly fix all these problems?

Seriously, this is like taking that Monte Carlo in the pics, painting over everything, and calling it fixed.

If Mrs. Joseph is concerned about the trash in her neighborhood, then let's do something about the trash.

If buyers and sellers are concerned about run down or dilapidated houses in their market, then let's do something about fixing the houses.

The couches are not the real issue, but that's how this city works I guess.

[82355]

At one time there was a couch on the porch of every house in the row of rentals I live in. Most of them were very nice. I think dog kennels and stakes look much worse.

[Bobby Light]

btw martin come get this box numb nutz

[supercrackerbox]

I'm sensing it probably has a lot to do with the home owner mentality vs. the renter mentality. Kinda like (I'm assuming) all our jailbait jokes would become less funny to someone once they have a daughter.

[BOORAH]

And if they want to make this law, i don't think its going to help that much.
People have much worse looking **** on their porches then a couch.

I was not aware of this. hmmmmm.....

^^That's all according to Wikipedia.

[regal403]

So you know it's true.

Don't you question my Wikipedia statistics *****!

What's wrong with it? I can't see it.

you have a quotation mark as your apostrophe

[David]

it's a quote from someone else.

i think it was a noob who jumped into a thread in the politics forum.

[82355]

Fixed.

Martin

[supercrackerbox]

Much appreciated.

[82355]

I held the Shift key instead of using Caps Lock, but I never see it, so I didn't realize it was wrong. You should try getting David pissed at you so that he makes it so you can't see sigs and avatars. It makes the site much cleaner.

Its where Im from, I was just there a few months ago.

[82355]

Maybe instead of worrying about a couch on someones porch, Lincoln should try to improve the quality of their horrible roads (I am not talking about the road surface either).

I lived in Incirlik for about 3 years.

Not if they would have planned it out 30/40 years ago...

blue lines = 4 lane ****ing highways with NO ****ING STOP LIGHTS. Idiots.

[supercrackerbox]

Joe for mayor.

[Bobby Light]

AAANNNNDDDD PASSED

[coop]

lincoln wants to keep that "small town image" ......this is why no building can be like 100 ft within the height of the ***** of the prarie.....this cuases us to expand horizontally rather than vertically.....and since we are small town...no freeways or highways (thats reserved for those big city people)....

[David]

i hate lincoln :(

[82355]

I like Lincoln, I hate the people in charge.

Martin

[regal403]

Lincoln is 225,000 lbs. of dog **** in a 50,000 lb. bag.

I concur. It's just stupid that they put all that Southpointe crap at the hardest part of town to get to, driving wise.

[millertime]

i'd vote for ya too, and that looks like a damn good idea, too bad the ****tards in charge couldn't think of it.

QFT

this town could be alot better.

[regal403]

Oh I'm sure people had similar ideas 30-40 years ago when the city planners were trying to figure out how to shape Lincoln, but as I recall hearing, the problem was the old heads in charge not wanting to fund good road projects as opposed to a lack of good project ideas. Coop is right, the old guard did want to keep that "small town feel," so they made the Interstate go all the way AROUND town instead of through it. They made Highway 2 go through town, but put stop lights every mile or less instead of interchanges. They made 2 connect in at 9th, 10th, and Van Dorn instead of swinging out south around the grain elevator north of the Penn like some people wanted.

The typical Lincoln "plan" seems to be this:
-Build huge suburban neighborhoods around 2 lane paved county roads
-Let them get fairly developed and established
-Shut down the road for a year or two to widen it to 4 lanes
-Create headaches for everyone

That is ass ****ing backwards.

It should be:
-Plan out new developments
-Build up roads and other infrastructure
-Build houses and businesses
-Reap benefits of well planned city


Like I said, the people in charge years ago didn't want to raise taxes to pay for the sort of stuff that other cities were investing in at the time, and we now have to pay the price with our 1940s two-lane arterial system, narrow, tree-clogged streets, and urban sprawl.
So they let developers come in and develop their developments instead of putting in good roads and sewers beforehand. They have more pull than good old Joe Taxpayer does.

[coop]

i like lincoln cuz its a small town

[coop]

but im only judging its a small town based on the one lane roads
