  1. Dover, just because they did it in the past does not make it a good idea.

     

    infact, your idea looks a million kinds of worse.

     

    West End gets full time service to Manhattan. Brighton gets a part time express. you seem to be turning the West end and Concourse into shuttles. Why?

     

    I also don't get what is this obsession with ruining the far end of the Fulton line. Round Robin doesn't work, plus the people who had to use it last time it ran hated it. We're also screwing over the JFK bound passengers, by forcing them to transfer for no reason.

  2. The only thing standing in the way are the nimnuts we keep putting there. You know Charlie Rangel, since SAS phase 2 would effect his area, has been elected 21 times, and is quite close to 43 years in the job (and would probably quite close to fusing with his chair if he sat in it log enough) yet has he ever said anything about SAS?

  3. I didn't see the thread/post, so I'm not commenting on that, nor did I in my post above.  I just referenced one point he made that I agreed with that happens around here which is that others gang up on one member when they disagree with their point of view. If what you said happened, then I suppose the mods will handle it since it is against the forum rules to attack other members.  I have nothing else to add otherwise.

    except I never used vulger or racist terms directed at anyone. the worst thing I implied was lack of inteligence. the worst i got was when realizm, once again, misunderstood an anglogy i made back in june, but I never stooped to real vulgarity, no matter how much I wanted to, I had the consitution to not use those words. I find it odd Turbo says this in the thread"As with everything there is criticism by others who will try to bring you down. Best thing to do is stand your ground, just like you would offline irl"

     

    Meanwhile, Turbo and MVH were calling people some rather rude names. IE "You Sick f-word" " You're a racist f-word". I only got involved in that thread becuase I felt Turbo was not being fair to Tokkemon when he said this to Tokkemon "You're a horrible, miserable person. Go find something worth your time." When all I did was define graffiti and illiect from Oxford, MVH responds with "An a**hole is defined as a part of the body, but you seem to be acting like one right now. Seems contrary to the definition, really."

     

    By the time realizm tells me I have to "live with it", I snapped. all the images from the past few months of our previous arguments flooded back in. and when you have a memory as sharp as mine can be, they come in in 1080p. Stop and Frisk. The finger print locks on the NYCHA buildings. Getting ridducled just for have a diffrent opinion. I had HAD IT.

     

    BUT, I kept myself under control. I wanted to say mean and nasty things. But I didn't.

     

    I only PM'ed realizm because he challenged me to directly defend myself, but I was busy and couldn't post before the thread was locked. I gave him a clear, consise version of my points going back the last six months, but he goes and proverbily tosses it aside without reading it and tells me to get over it. Not considering that his responce might only succede in getting me even MORE mad at him, and more likely to make posts such as this. Ignoreing a problem and hoping it's going to go away is only going to make it worse.

     

    Here, for everyone else to read easily, is what I wrote.

     

     

    Sorry, I've been working.

     

    To answer the accusation, it because anytime anyone says anything that can be constued as negative, some people instantly play the race card. It's to the point that some people are using it to quash desent from thier opinions.

     

    On friday, as I mentioned, I was working in Jamaica. A group of muslim women walk into the store I was guarding. about five steps behind them was an african american woman. The muslim women let the front door close behind them. the woman who was following opens the door, walks in, and starts making a rather racist statment about "foringers" for not holding the door.

     

    I am only being labeled as a racist because my life exprinces have left me with oppinions that differ from everyone else. however, I do have one thing on my side, the "Zenger defense". As much as you guys don't like it, I have proof backing up my statements. I've posted it several times, from several sources. You never seem comment on that information, you and your allies allways respond by attacking me directly. You act as if your are unwilling, or unable, to refute the claims I'm making, so you fall back on undermining my charactor instead. By your logic, is the Daily News racist? They reported the very information I'v been trying to get across to you and the others and keep getting blown off.

    Here's my primary issue. If I am expected to treat someone as my equal, should I not expect them to act as much? Peaceful? Freindly? Considerate to those around them? I would never resort to violence, let alone deadly violence, to resolve a petty despute. Yet far too many times you see in the news about such things happening in the african american community in this city. If the Bloods and Crips can ever learn to solve thier problems with something as simple a game of chess, the city would be a much happier and nicer place.

     

    I told you, I want to live in a city where stop and frisk would never be nessiary in the first place. my arguments build upon each other. until those who would resort to violence learn that there are other ways, why should I, or anyone else, respect them if they are unwilling to respect others. Respect is a two way street. You've got to give it to get it. And most people have been giving it for a long time, and not getting it in return. If they don't want to respect others, or the laws and rules of this city, why should anyone be expected to respect them in return?

     

    Which do you feel is greater;

     

    the right to not have your pockets turned inside out?

     

    or the right to not have a hole in your head?

     

    There is a young man who just wanted to ice skate at Byant Park who might never even walk again, because someone would not give someone else thier jacket when they tried to take it, they peppered the ice with bullets, hitting the poor kid right in the spine.

    If you had to look that kid in the eye, would you say half the stuff you've said to me? who's rights would have been violated greater, the shooter if he'd been stopped, or the kid who now can't even stand because he got caught in something he had nothing to do with..?

    I spent nearly an hour writting that.

  4. Since a certain someone doesn't wish to speak to me directly, I feel the need to express my opinions on the past few days in this open letter.

     

    Some of you were not pleased with what I said. However, I do not feel that the responce I recived was fair. I did not attack anyone directly until I myself was attacked, and even then, I chose me words carfefully and at best implied a lack of understanding.

     

    To defaime my character in a public forum simple becuase you do not agree with me is the sameful route this country has taken in the past few years. If you want to debate, that's one thing. I enjoy a good debate. But even when I provie outside sources to support the points I make, instead i get called a racist in the hopes that will shut me up. I get gang downvoted even though that's not the purpose of the downvote. If someone said something that I didn't agree with, I would attack the point itself, not drag their good name through the mud.

     

    Meanwhile, no one has ever provded any counter evidence to my claims. No instead they're telling me I'm a bad person and I should stop posting here and stuff like that.Has it truely gotten to the point that peoply play the racist card simply to get someone to stop talking? You're supposed to try to prove me wrong. Now that thread is just evidence in a tottaly diffrent point I've been making to other people; that people, when faced with inforation they can't dispute, will take to attacking the person who presented that information.

     

    Do I care what any of you say in responce to this? No. Do I care how many of you down vote it, no.

     

    I've said my peace, I'm done with it.

     

    have a good evening.

  5. CBTC has grown the way it has for a reason. It started on the L because the Canarsie Line is isolated and only two tracks. The Flushing Line is next because while it is also isolated, it provides a bit more of a challenge for the computers by having to deal with express trains.

     

    CBTC on the Lexington, the most heavily used line in the system, is out of the question for the time being.

  6. It kinda does. It's 30 days "without incident". It has to go a month without so much as the doors sticking before it can be cleared for full service. If it does have an issue, the clock resets to zero. Logicly, one would try to get those 30 days taken care of as quickly as possible, and that means pounding the rails every day possible.

  7. What I'm saying is official maps, made by transit providers,have taken geographic reality and tossed it out the window.

     

    Even the current MTA maps. Not as bad as they used to be granted, but in relation to one another is the key. He hasn't placed 50th and broadway west of 50th and 8th.

     

    Fussing about how a fantasy map is drawn seems kinda pointless.

  8. Most schematic maps tend to stick to 45 and 90 degree angles and roughly equal spacing between stations. On the real MTA maps, those are only used where the real tracks roughly follow those angles, cause it's geographic. And even then the geography is skewed to better depict the system. Manhattan is thin and narrow, not in any shape like it is in the real world.

     

    Go look at the official London tube map. Then go look at a geographically based one. On both maps, find Wimbledon on the District Line, and then find South Wimbeldon on the Northern Line. If you look at the official map, they look like they're miles apart. If you look at the geographical map, you'd discover in reality, they're not even a mile apart, and that's following the streets. Walking wouldn't even take 20 minutes.

  9. It's not unacceptable to taxpaying citizens who are frequent flyers.

     

    It's just plain unacceptable; period, end of story.

     

    To start with, do we really need a nation-wide orginzation of glorified Rent-A-Cops? What's wrong with the airport's securing themsevels? They can still maintain the same secuirty standards without having people who are, in effect, outside contractors. The Feds set standards, the airport operators follow them. Can't be any worse than what we're stuck with now. People would probibly be more complaint if there was a PAPD officer at the machine at JFK, and not some random dope...

  10. Hello Brett!

     

    I like how it says "By law, we are required to check ALL checked baggage,"

     

    then it says...

     

    "Some bags were physically opened and inspected."

    checking them all is running them through the scaners. Wether or not the high school dropout watching the screen is paying attention is another thing.

     

    They're still probibly the most corrupt government agency to ever exist. And all of the problems are low level.

     

    They refused to let a Medal of Honor recpitent onto a plane, on the grounds his medal "could be used a weapon". In reality, the TSA agents wanted to STEAL IT.
