It sure does - and you wouldn't say anything to them. Just like you wouldn't and didn't say anything to those cops. All you would do is get on the web and whine - just like you are doing now.
You are a bad person.
GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE ROAD!!!!!
Yes

I'd probably think someone that did though was more mature than a grown man coming on an internet forum and crying because he had to sit and wait for something I would guess far more important than whatever you were doing to go by.
You sound like a middle school kid upset about his life trying to get a rise out of others. Grow up and maybe you will get somewhere in life.
It doesn't make you a bad person, it makes you look like a fucking ass.
I wouldnt get out of my car to confront strangers. Horn and me speaking out the window would suffice.
I have never once seen a group of civilians block traffic for their own personal convoy. If it happened on a saturday, wouldnt bother me. Like i said..... weekdays during work hours and in rush traffic, there is no place for these things.
because the police shouldnt be used to block public traffic for a business service. It would be no different than me opening a pizza place and blocking off traffic for my pizza deliveries. I understand that this method of burial ceremony is sacred to some people.... but it's not to me and it's not to many other nonchristian people. I exercise my religious freedom within the confines of the law.... not excluding traffic law. There should be consistency in the law and things that are otherwise unlawful should not be accepted, or in this case aided by civil servants. When policemen kick protesters out of parks they usually cite some city ordinance regarding proximity to a fire hydrant or occupancy limits or anything else "in fine print" they can use. I expect the same consistency in other laws even though some people may feel it's the right or respectful thing to do. Red means stop, green means go. If i stopped traffic to sacrifice a goat in the middle of an intersection because of my religious beliefs, i would be arrested. Some people (myself included) think sacrificing a goat is stupid and would be angry if i stopped traffic. Well.... i think getting buried in a box on someone else's property and arriving with a convoy of cars is stupid.
See, you are dancing around on tangents trying to save face.
Here are the facts:
The police direct traffic - legally.
The police can choose to block and intersection at any time for any reason that they feel serves the public interest.
You are complaining about the police directing traffic, which is their legal task.
If you want to change it, you need to petition your state representative and ask him to change the law; otherwise, you are just complaining like an immature kid.

If you're in a hurry just hit your flashers and act like you're one of them.. lol.
In a way I agree and don't. I don't think cops should be blocking the shit off, they have more important shit to worry about and spend government money on.. But I do think the respect should be given for them, I stop no matter how bad it pisses me off that I get stuck when I'm trying to go somewhere..
This is no where near as bad as cops blocking off the road for around 100 mopeds to be let out of some moped meet they had in Chattanooga a month or two ago.. That shit was ridiculous..
Yay for WL stupidity. Sinfix, I don't know you, but you make me happy. Because you're completely fucking stupid you bring a small portion of drama back to the WL that I've missed for so long. Thanks.
Of course I own this.
IT PUTS THE OREOS ON THE RIM
I'm gonna order a pizza tonight, i'm gonna call in a police escort for my delivery driver so that it gets here faster.
I'd say you're a bad person, in reference to the funeral situation. I pull over if i see a procession on the road, and if it's long, i get out and stand beside the road. Being respectful goes a long way. I know i'd want the same thing from drivers if I had a loved one die.
also, way back to your statement about tradition and funerals originating in religion on the first page, if you follow that logic, you also believe on halloween we decorate our houses and dress up to appease demons and ghosts.
The last time i attended the funeral of a loved one, i skipped the convoy and just drove to the burial site. I wouldnt notice or expect any "respect" from passing motorist. Even during the mourning of a lost relative, i couldnt help but feel it was pointless for cars to line up and travel in a convoy. I also couldnt help but notice how much a funeral home resembles a used car lot when you're working out the arrangements. This is a tradition i simply do not believe in. It has nothing to do with respecting the dead.
The holy ghost is equally as fake as casper the ghost. I participate in both Christmas and Halloween. I do not believe in Jesus or ghosts of any kind.
I've seen one once. But my recorded pieces of evidence are my greatest assets towards proof of existence.
It sucks, though, because when I was doing the ghost hunting thing, I had a website up with all evidences posted. I let the website go and deleted the site design tools from my computer before I realized all my sound clips and video clips were in folders within that file. Needless to say, I was quite upset. I had some very good vocal recordings of "the other side." They do exist. No mind tricks here. Later, QD.
I do agree with you, man. It is a very sensitive subject in regards to what to believe and not believe. I believe mainly because I was there and know what I saw/heard. But when I capture a voice (like a recording of a baby crying in the middle of the night in the middle of a cemetery), that is clearly a voice and I know my surroundings, it's hard to cast off. Pictures are my only bane. Between orbs and mists, it's hard to tell what's what a lot of the time so I don't usually mess with them unless it's something really to pry into.
When it's stuff on television, though, I get real skeptical. Wondering if it's just made for TV or what. Later, QD.
People who've taken exctasy have told me that they've witnessed a simple bush grow into a T Rex(dinosaur). Just because we see or hear something doesn't mean it's real or actually happened/existed.

Too bad that there isn't any.
Ghosts are currently undefined in science, and thus can not be used as explanation of paranormal activity.
But Science being Science, which is studied and written by experiments done by, well just another human, can change at any time. So there is hope for your theory, QD. Later.
BTW: Jesus likes to cheat so keep an eye on him.
