Arizona gave me a license that doesn't expire until I turn 65. I was 27 when I got it issued. And all I had to do was show up with my IL driver's license to get it.

Malachite_Dragon posted:If Trump wins, I am seriously, no joke, completely seriously thinking about moving to Canada. I'd rather live in a syrupy frozen wasteland than in Trumps Retarded States of America. In 2004, when Bush got re-elected, my now ex-wife and I strongly looked into moving to Canada. We were going to go to Victoria BC. She had visited and fell in love with the city in her youth, and I was just finishing up a film degree (shut up, I know I'm an idiot already) so it seemed idyllic. Turns out to emigrate there, you have to prove that you have skills that will get you a job or make you a valuable member to society, and in order to get on their health program (which isn't that great to begin with) you have to live there for a year first. I'm disabled with a very chronic condition (kidney failure due to a genetic fluke) so going a full year with zero health care would be a death sentence for me unfortunately.

I always thought about moving to Canada as well, but I'm in finance here in the states and it would be a total pain to relearn an entirely new set of legislation and rules to start back up, basically from scratch, there. Maybe I could turn that summer of construction work I did with my uncle when I was 17 into a Canadian career.

After we moved to Minnesota they would look at the expiration date like WTF? That was funny. My wife had to test here in Minnesota and they made her parallel park, too.

When I took my driving test back in 1996 I got rear ended by another student taking her test while I was in the parking lot. She failed. And cried. My mom refused to get insurance involved even though we had a good chunk of damage because it would have been just too much for the poor girl.

I never even had to do that when I tested in Michigan. More and more states are removing the parallel parking part of the exam. I got my first driver's license in Michigan and I had to get 3/4 of the way into the spot in the mid 2000's. I stalled the car about 7 times but I got it in! Now I parallel park in my sleep. On the other hand, when I was in France my host sister was trying to pass her test and she ended up taking it three times because the first two she mis-shifted, corrected before releasing the clutch and they failed her.

I got my license in Texas on my 16th birthday. I went to "drivers ed" for 30 minutes every morning before school for like 4 weeks. Then I drove once with the instructor. I drove all the time with my parents just because. Took the written test, boom, license. I have parallel parked less than 5 times in my 23 years of driving. Speaking of which, at this point, why isn't it legal for the cops to require you to show that you were NOT texting at the time of the accident.

Probably because it would be hard to prove beyond a reasonable doubt. I mean, unless you sent a text right at the time the accident happened.

Our police state is hosed up enough without taking the burden of proof away from the accuser. If you allowed police to say "YOU HAVE ALL DONE WRONG AND WILL BE PUNISHED FOR IT UNTIL YOU PROVE OTHERWISE" would basically make it so everyone in America was black

Phanatic posted:Stupid presumption of innocence and the requirement for the state to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt! Stupid 5th Amendment! Unless there's an injury or some other aggravating factor, texting while driving is a non-criminal civil infraction in most states. That means criminal rules like beyond a reasonable doubt doesn't apply, the standard is preponderance of the evidence - whether it's more likely than not that you committed the infraction. Of course, the burden is still on the state to prove that it is more likely than not that you were texting. This isn't a hard standard though, given that phones keep time stamps of texts.

Strudel Man posted:How would you go about proving that unicorns don't exist? How do you prove that I exist? Likewise I cannot prove that you exist. I could be a brain in a jar being fed sensory information. There are a lot of things, most "things" in fact, that you cannot prove beyond all possible alternative explanations. "Negatives" aren't special and don't exist as a set of things. Even ignoring those kinds of things, it's possible to prove that physical unicorns don't exist in this universe. It's just not practical, as it would involve somehow confirming that no unicorn is present anywhere in the universe at once, but that's not "impossible", just impractical. It's very easy to change it (unicorns only exist sometimes, unicorns are not observable, etc) so that it's impossible to disprove but it's just as easy to make things that are impossible to prove. As a simple proof, let's assume I can't prove "negatives." So for every X I cannot prove "not X." Therefore I also can't prove "not not X" either, and since "not not X" is just "X" I can't prove anything, at all. Desuwa has a new favorite as of 20:35 on Dec 2, 2015 |

Gorilla Salad posted:US Republicans have spent the last few decades not-quite-openly cultivating poverty stricken hate filled racists as their voter base. To add onto this, Republicans have been struggling recently with their poor image to anyone who's not a hate-filled white racist and desperately trying to court minorities and women (which is hard to do while openly campaigning to restrict their rights). If Trump wins the nomination, all the people who might vote for the Republican party but aren't a bizarre caricature of a crazed bigot will go away or even vote for a Democrat just to keep the nutter out.
