Search Results: they are not being themselves

In May 2018 in the US, backup cameras were required by law in new motor vehicles, with a few exceptions. This was done in response to several deaths of children behind the vehicle that the driver did not see when the car backed up and struck them. Other countries (ex: UK) are considering making backup cams a requirement.

Many people in the US and other countries have put forward-facing dashcams in their vehicle, which helps in the event they witness a vehicle accident, or are involved in one themselves.

Do you think that forward-facing cameras should be required for vehicles, with the ability to record at least the last 60 minutes of video? It could be played back on the same screen the backup cam uses, or could be offloaded to another device via SDHC card, Bluetooth or cable. They would be useful tools in accident investigations, would help determine who is at fault, as well as detecting bad drivers.

In the dashcam view shown, it's obvious that the white SUV is making an unsafe left turn, cutting off the cammer's vehicle, and would be considered 100% at fault.

If forward-facing cameras were in every vehicle, it might even make overall driving safer. If drivers know they are being watched and recorded, maybe the majority of them will pay more attention to driving and to obeying motor vehicle laws.

In the career field I've chosen to pursue, a comment I hear a lot from people who have a lengthy criminal history or are simply ignorant is "you probably spent a lot of time in a locker against your will" or something along those lines. Clearly they're attacking someone by mocking them about being bullied.

This doesn't offend me at all but rather makes me feel sorry for the person saying that for many reasons.

One is that they're acting extremely immature by sending insults towards someone, and someone they know won't harm them, at that.
Another is that bullying is evil and it's exactly what a peace officer is trying to stop as their fundamental duty.

Next is that by making a baseless insult at someone they don't know, they're projecting their own insecurity and self hatred onto someone else in an attempt to bring them down to their level, a quest that will inevitably fail.

I don't view victim's of bullying as weak at all, it's no coincidence that bullies come in pairs after a single person, using their numbers to make the person submit to their will to make themselves feel powerful because deep down, the bullies are fully aware of how weak and pathetic they all are and they want someone else to feel like them.

Lastly is that they're wrong, I was bullied in elementary school but only verbally as they knew if they put their hands on me, I'd fight back and they'd have no chance. Although my big brother and parents did physically abuse me as a kid but not anymore as I've grown far bigger and stronger than all of them.

The fact that they'd view someone who is bullied as less than the people doing the bullying says a lot about the kind of person they are and really explains why I, as a peace officer are at odds with them, they're one of the people who bullied others and their refusal to respect other's rights led to them losing their rights as punishment.

The fact that they can't see how bad they look when saying that also saddens me. What's your take?

I saw a statistic recently that50 percent of women 30 and above are single and childless. The article continued to show that once a woman hits 30 the chances of her having a long lasting marriage drops precipitously. And that men 30+ are mainly marrying women in their mid 20s. My main concern is that these women are turning themselves into a sub class that will only be used for pleasure and die alone since men cross culturally are less likely to marry older women. And many women are being lied to and told they can wait till they are 35 and there will be good men waiting for them, which in my opinion seems cruel. What are your thoughts?
