YOU DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT to disregard laws, regulations and zoning. No you can’t fucking do whatever you want on your property. You can’t have a business in a residential area, you can’t build a skyscraper house in a suburb, you can’t build extensions without permits and you can’t do whatever you see fit without following protocol. > > If you think you can do whatever the fuck you want without obeying the laws of the land - FUCK YOU, follow the rules and be a decent citizen or get the fuck out. These people complaining and saying that they are too fucking good to follow the regulations that everybody else follows can go fuck themselves as well and move to a different county or better yet country. They aren’t better then everybody else, they aren’t above the law and they sure as hell don’t get to dictate to the majority of how they want things done. If the town wanted signs then the town board the citizens will over rule the policy. Until then they can shut the fuck up instead of making national news saying “town doesn’t let me do whatever the fuck I want” > > :banghead > > P.S. I also love people like you who love talking about the principles that this country based on and improperly quoting the forefathers. It’s like lam to a slaughterhouse. In person, if asked you wouldn’t even be able to name all the founding fathers nor describe what they stood for and their political history. (Don’t bother looking it up now). Vlad. It’s ok to have a conversation or argument with someone without belittling them. All the valid points you made in the last two pages are tainted by your attitude and condescending verbiage. If you were to talk to me (or others) like that in person, I might slap the taste out of your mouth. I’m only responding here because I feel like you don’t realize how you sound. There are dumb people everywhere…sometimes you may be the dumb person in the conversation. You will never get through to someone speaking like that. Jussayin’ I fully back this NY’er in exercising his rights…whether anyone agrees with the formalities doesn’t matter. He is standing up for what he, and many others, believe in. I applaud him in his efforts and happen to agree with him. As a land owner who CONSTANTLY has to remove other people signs and GARBAGE from my front lawn…that I spend countless hours manicuring like Edward Scissorhands. If someone told me I couldn’t put a sign on the outskirts of my property that I TAKE CARE OF…THAT I CLEAN…I would rage. Even if I was totally wrong, the manner in which this incident was handled was childish at best. If the couple down the street are allowed to put up a “garbage sale” sign on the corner…if Joe Buttlicker is able to put up a sign “running for town supervisor”…if Phil McCraken is allowed to leave a sign up “affordable paving” AND NONE OF THESE SIGNS ARE REMOVED EVVVVVER or even questioned, how is it ok to have double standards. In the end, all the officer had to do was knock on the guys door. He would have taken it down or moved it back. But NO, he decided to act like a bitch and be passive aggressive. Anyway, conversations like this are healthy. They should not be turned into a pissing contest on who my nine fathers are and what Bill Jefferson said in 1492.
