Bringing people together by appealing to the middle ground could work.

Interesting interview with an author on climate change. Excellent non provocative read.

Great post marksman not only kids but I use to feel obliged for work commitments till they didn't pay my 2 fines.

Glad I got them because it gave me the gonads to swear back at them before it turned into something worse like said clip.

we have all done it,

No we haven't.
Around town whenever I get in the car I activate "Road Mode".
It stops all texts and calls and sends an automated reply to the sender that I am driving.
I can still view them when I stop.

Sadly that app is no longer available, but there are plenty out there so no excuse.

I do not even use mine on Bluetooth.
If Im expecting an important call, when it rings I find a spot to pull over, if it has rung out then I call back.
Remember the days before mobile phones? The earth didn't stop turning!

Thank you Marksman for bringing this to the forefront.I had tears in my eyes watching this.If anyone on this forum has kids who are driving or about to learn to drive,please show them this video.The change in those kids attitude towards using a phone whilst driving was very encouraging,the more kids that see this the better.I see so many kids leaving my daughters high school in their cars on the phone.My wife and I complained to the school and we were informed that all the senior students would be spoken to about the issue.Also parents who drive through the school zones on phones (seen 10 in half an hour one day).These same parents would be the first ones to get upset if someone was distracted by a phone and run over one of their kids.

Yep, hopefully he never works in the industry again. 100% knew what he pilfered.

Damn thats absurd, 4th year Mining student, I mean its not like he was getting an arts degree haha.

Common sense says you would ask the employer first right? But no, he was straight to a gold buyer.

You would hang a couple generations ago for a lot less.

Thanks for the share RM.
