Interesting how you conflated the child situation to your situation. Like it or not any system gets it wrong from time to time. Sounds like you kept your child so it sounds like it worked out.
thing is, if i wouldve let the system deal with it, do you think it wouldve been resolved swiftly and i kept control of my child the entire time? Thats the difference. I generally have faith in the system, not the people.
but im not trusting the people in the system to care about doing anything fast. I come from the development world, there's is no speed in .gov for you, unless you owe them.
Just because the system fails once in a while doesn’t mean the whole institution is corrupt.
I didn't say corrupt, just that the institutions have been perverted. The system is run be people, and people are liable to mislead and be misled, as well as people make mistakes, though sometimes those mistakes because of lack of repercussions, don't care how big or small that mistake.
but they (institutions) are. Not all cops are bad either, but im not letting them search my car without a warrant.
Sometimes children need to be removed from a home. That’s a fact. The system exists because it needs to. There are some real pos’s out there that are not fit to be parents.
i agree, and thats where an unbiased and swift system to be expedient when it comes to those who cant protect themselves is key.
would i "generally" say an allegation of incest needs to be taken serious, the victim protected, and the wrongdoer dealt with? Yes.
Is step#1 removing the child based off an allegation appropriate and putting the child in the system better or worse while someone waits guilty until proven innocent and can be reunited by a simple 'sorry for the mistake'?
There's smarter people out there to figure things out like that. But circumventing innocence before proven guilty....yeesh.
Bundy uses these type of situations for his purposes. There is nothing noble about his actions no matter which side of right or wrong he is on. He is a grifter and appeals to fools like you that buy into the whole corrupt institutions crap
Fools like me? I couldn't care less about bundy, unless we're talking about A Last time I heard his name was the first time I heard his name when he did his first thing.
Have I donated a red cent? Nope.
And institutions being corrupt? For real? You think they are sound?
The people who say that, generally, are the ones who earn a living off the institutions. Their careers are based off the institutions.
Want to know how wrong you are? Schedule a pre-planning meeting for a development with the p&z board and council. It's not an official procedure, but call up your city administrator or city manager, or whoever the head operations under the mayor is and just state you'd like to meet with them before scheduling anything on the docket to discuss your plans.
Wait until the fire Marshall says, yeah but what we'd like to see from this, to pass of course, is you know, it'd be nice if we could get an easement to access the drainage behind your property. I think we'd really like that? And you know, we don't like the 3' sidewalks although we understand its code, wed like you to do 5', but a transistion from 3 to 5 is understandable.
Or tell a city you will be installing sprinklers and fire/smoke alarms, no need for a fire department or fire hydrants on your development.
Check out building codes approval boards. See what manufacturers sit on said boards.
All day long everyday in every city, out in the open is quid pro quo at the least. Hey Bill, how old are them street lamps? Think we could get them modernized as your project goes, like those cast ones we have over on smalltownamerica avenue, yeah people like how those look.
But I'm sure you've developed over 300 acres into housing in 20 different counties, 5 different states to know corruption doesn't happen On the local level.
But lets talk federally eh? Probably just type any 3 letter agency + corruption and hit enter on google. Or add congress. Senate. House. Review their ethics committees. Check out ne partial escape me, it's Quant something, an app, review stock buy/sell of any politician. Real awkward to be going from 180k +/- pending assignments and brown nosing to a term or two later having 5-10 million.
I call it like I see it. The people who don't see the corruption, don't care to. The people who see it are either the victims of it or the ones playing part of it. And generally, the ones who feel guilty, try to deflect that it's not corruption, it's some sort of deal, or concession. Yeah no shit-because if I put in the memo line "bribe", it doesn't go over well. But charge me 15-30% over market permit value, and call it permit prices, and I can be on the docket next week, or building all 3 yesterday.
You know what's corruption-you or I getting a fine for littering into the Colorado river-but whoops epa dumps crap into the colorado, sorries mistakes happens. And fools like you sit idly by because it was just mistake #3810174629, it's people, it happens.
Ifn it makes you feel better, I don't feel guilty. It's easy to catch bees with honey than vinegar, and I'm fine with that.
But good try.
Please though, on the rebuttal add a little more spice and a better attempt at the fool part.
