Bellybutton, I appreciate what you say in your last post "Look, i ALWAYS try to be respectful to all people, i just don't think it should be illegal to be stupid and crass."

But sound is different, as others' stupidity comes in my apt. and damages my health, and prospects at a better job.

I dont care what people do to themselves out on the street, what they drive, or say, or look like, as long as it does not come inside. and sound does.

Brade

guess i'm just not biased cause i can sleep through anything,

and no, you are not safe in the suburbs, this problem is everywhere. I grew up in white suburban ohio, and there are tons of kids who are attention hungry. (see above post)

Look, i know it's annoying, i agree whole heartedly, but being an asshat should not be illegal.

"guess i'm just not biased cause i can sleep through anything,"

you are lucky

Ya I'm very aware of that, thanks...and im sure we have plenty of QUIET black neighborhoods that don't appreciate tejano music being slammed in their ears. (Viva La Rasa)

Point is, It's not about race as you suggested.

True story,

Went out to dinner with my grandmother, and at a redlight this angry-ass white kid pulls up next to us BLARING his crap "SUCK MY D#%K NGGA, FK U NGGA!"

I was kinda embarrassed, i mean for chrissakes, i'm with my 85 year old grandmother! And she even said,"he can get a ticket for that!"

But really, should it be illegal for this guy to make himself look like a total dckhead? Instead we just laughed at him and drove away, end of story.

Ever notice how no-one blasts music that's actually decent?

That hand-held disabler idea is excellent!
When I want to hear someone else's music, I'll ask. If they're pounding it out at huge decibal levels and spent 2 hours in the mirror perfecting their "don't look at me" look, well, not much I can do without risking a beating. The same sort of beatings that already landed them in prison and probably disqualified them from voting (thank God). Then, when they're satisfied with showing their noise off around town, they go back to their crappy apartment or whatever to biatch at the wife at the 3 kids. Oh, and plod around the front yard in a wife beater and sunglasses, looking oh so cool, waiting for their peers to cruise by in vehicles with similar thumping sound systems.

Hey now. Last time I was home driving my mom's Exploder, my gf could hear me coming from three blocks away. Why? Because I was the only person blaring "She Bop" at ear-bleeding levels.

Ear-bleeding for me. I never WAS able to turn up the volume on a recent Ford car stereo past 15. More wasn't worth three hours of ringing ears.

Yes, I actually wear earplugs to concerts, too. I'm old, I get it. However, just think that in 40-60 years, nursing homes will be full of old men of all colors screaming "Wha'd you say, biatch!" at the nursing staff. Such fun.

Music isn't recorded at comfortable quiet listening levesl. levels. The artists don't record it so you can listen to it on your 3" factory bs. Its meant to be loud. Its f'in played loud.

Just some of us know how to listen to, thats all.

He knows his car audio, a rather large industry. He also doesn't type with the "Yo Homeboy" attitude, which shows some sort of intelligence. Nobody cares about HTML "skillz" enough to post a middle finger, and you must realize that a grown man (judging by your grumpy behaviour to teenage troublemakers) trying to sound funny by using terms like Homeboy and skillz is just amusing.

A guy having a sound system doesn't make him dumb. Its a hobby. Some may enjoy building a super-duper-fast computer, others like to modify their cars. Then theres just those who like to cry about today's youth.

SwallowTheKnife:

thanks.

also I would like to add that I'm not going to be deaf anytime soon because I wear earguards when I tune my stereo or when I'm at a soundoff (as required)

I used to live in a long cul de sac and this little illegal in his rice burner would come flying down the street constantly thumpin with his BWAAAAAH exhaust. Well, a few of the neighbors with little kids asked him to slow down, turn it down to no effect; when confronted he would just say FU biatch. So, they called the cops and of course, their was "nothing" they could do... At this point, I was fed up with the little punk myself and since beating the crap out of him would land me in jail I decided to send him a postcard asking him to please tone down and slow down. I also added that that if he didn't I was going to run a quarter down every side of his car and if he still did not get the message I was going to stick an icepick in his gastank with a lit cigarette stuck in a pack of matches a few feet away. Well he was so nice after that. Best 33 cents I ever spent

I've got a great idea, if somewhat rabid:

Let's have a national Shoot a Dipshiat Day every few years. On one day, we simply suspend all laws, and let people inflict vigilante justice on whomever pisses them off. I'd guess that tiny-dicked jerks in boom cars would probably be bullet magnets. Let's face it; whatever rationalization they give to justify their antisocial behavior, the simple truth is that some people are just losers and the only joy in their pathetic lives is bother others. It's about time the other 90% of us who are civilized and considerate hit back once in a while...

Very nice setup. I have an 89 Prelude that I'm working on. Type S components all around, and a couple of MTX 10s in the trunk. It sounds amazing, and even more so on those hot days. I'm a rabid Muse fan; they sound absolutely crazy with a decent system. Get the song Hysteria and blast it on yours.

Psycat Let's have a national Shoot a Dipshiat Day every few years

This is exactly what i'm talking about-
Givin the chance for vigilante justice would you
a- go after crackdealers?
b- go after crooked ass politicians?
c- go after wife and child abusers?
d- go after sexual predators?
e- go after theives?

no, the biggest problem is asshats in loud cars.

If anything the cops should be thanking me. My truck's a/c is broken again (god I love ford's) so if I have one of these a-holes blasting rap music next to me I turn up Slayer/Metallica full volume on my stock stero system & drown them out. This also works great for scaring the soccer mom next to you with the religous bumper stickers & if driving threw the ghetto at 2am.

B.t.w don't buy a ford if you live in FL & want a vehicle with working a/c. I have had 2 fords & neither one of them the a/c has worked well.

Unless you are blastin The Cult's "Electric"; you suck

"no, the biggest problem is asshats in loud cars."

Not quite--I just picked them as a specific example due to this topic thread. I don't care if somebody is a car-stereo enthusiast; if they want to drive down a country road far from other people with their stereo blasting, more power to 'em. On the other hand, if somebody drives through a residential neighborhood at 3AM with bass that can be felt three blocks away, it's obvious that their behavior has less to do with music appreciation, and more to do with being an antisocial asshole.

I'm actually a very tolerant person in many ways. As long as another person is reasonably civil, I really don't give a damn about their race, religion, socioeconomic class, sexual orientation, lifestyle, or anything like that. If they're nice to me, I'd even consider them a potential friend--and I do have a large, diverse group of friends whose common characteristic is that they're decent, considerate people.

On the other hand, there is one group of people I simply cannot tolerate--and they're the only ones, IMHO, that really deserve to be disliked in general. It's the small percentage of people who basic purpose in life is to bother other people--call them assholes, biatches, jerks, criminals, thugs, robber barons, psychos, whatever. In an ideal world, they'd all be exiled from civil society--or shot with extreme prejudice. It really sucks that the 90% or so of us who can get along peacefully have to put up with crap from the 10% who have serious personality disorders.

Psycat put up with crap from the 10% who have serious personality disorders.

Judging from all the pharmecutical sales,
I'd say it's WAY above 10%

WakeHound:

If you flash your brights (at night) at a light, it will probably change. You'll notice a strob light on the top of most emergency vehicles, that's how they get the lights to change faster.


Urban legend. A buddy of mine works for the company contracted by the state to do installations on all the emergency vehicles. I went to meet him for luch one day and there as a Highway Patrolman sitting there waiting for his car to get the strobe installed. I asked him about the brights trick and he couldn't stop laughing. The strobe actually strobes faster than a person could ever make their brights flash. The brights trick does nothing, unless you're in an area where there's cameras on the lights and they don't like excessive use of high beams, in which case you get a hefty ticket.

Oh, and just for good measure:

My favs are the ghetto bunnies with the factory stereos who have them maxed out, killing what is left of the speaker.

I'll jam on the interstate, but damn, if it's 2am and I'm on my way home through a neighborhood I turn it down. That behavior is rude.

There was a case...I think it was in MD or NorVa...where some kids were repeat offenders to a noise ordinance. The judge gave them 48 hours in jail, and they had to listen to something like Barry Manilow for the whole time. Pretty amusing.

Best revenge on this; there was a section 8 duplex down the street from us (one side wasn't, the other side was full on section 8 with gov't cheese and all). The renter's son, who was around 30, would sit out in his car constantly and blow the cones out of his stock escort stereo. He received a bunch of tickets, it didn't phase him. Lots of neighbors filed noise violations, this asshat couldn't take the clue that sitting in your car at 3am listening to The Notorious Dead Nig at full vol wasn't cool....the 200.00 fines he paid 2 times in one month didn't phase him. After listening to that shiat for the last damn time I went to work and guess who I see applying for a job. I asked him about it, he said that he needed this job since he lost his bennies the week before. It was 2 weeks later before the city evicted him. Never did get the job, I think someone shredded his app. *whistles*

Don't forget the farking asshats who tweak their precious motorcycle pipes to rip your ears off with an excruciating roar.

Jackasses. Grrrr.

Good god, some of you are old farts.

Play it loud. Who cares? Stop being a whiny baby and share the rest of the outside world with everyone else. It's not for your entertainment, its for mine. Just deal with it for the .5 seconds that I spend next to your car and get on with your life. And start using rogaine because you're going bald too.

Don't like to hear my music? Get a better stereo and turn it up. I certainly cant hear your Yanni over my mars volta.

Also, I love how people biatch about personal freedoms being eroded away, but when its something that irritates them they support it. It's f'ing music people and its not that loud when you are in motion. Playing it in a resdential neighborhood in your driveway - yes, thats total a$$holish stuff. But just driving around? For christ sakes, can anyone play a stereo loud anywhere anymore without people being total asses about it? I turn mine down at every single red light and turn it right back up when its green. Maybe I should just leave it up from now on since so many people think spending money on that is "moronic".

I'll turn my music down when Libertarians STFU.
