Facebook killed the radio star. And by radio star, I mean the premise of distributed forums around the internet. And that got got by Instagram/SnapChat. And that got got by TikTok. Where the fuck is the internet we once knew?

I don't know if he pays his insurance or not, but either way it's an unneeded added expense.

Working within the system is not sacrificing honesty or integrity, it's being smart.

No, when you know you did something wrong, and you say you didn't, you're lying. Period. You aren't "working within the system", you're "abusing the system". There's a difference.
You're talking like abusing the system is a bad thing . Always look out for #1(Me).

There is an interesting relationship between law and ethics. Most often, laws are based on ethics and are put in place to ensure that ohers act in an ethical way. However, laws do not apply to everything -- that's where ethics should kick in. Some things may not be illegal, but that does not necessarily mean they are ethical.
pleading not guilty is not the same as telling someone you're not guilty.
.. it's a speeding ticket, iago. It'd just be stupid to throw up the white flag, put your hands behind your back, and scream "GIVE ME THE MAXIMUM SENTENCE!" Come on now... There's a million and one loopholes for a reason, America's justice system is about giving chances. Plead not guilty, ALWAYS. No contest is stupid, just plead not guilty. Two chances is better then one. Pay the small fines they'll give you, ask for something with no points.

Actually, people think you're stupid if you DON'T plead not guilty for a speeding ticket or whatever.I wasn't 100% on the whole process and I plead no contest to my "racing on the highways" tickets (spinning tires) and the judge spoke as if I were stupid for pleading not contest (in hindsight, I was).
