Post by: Aardwolf on October 14, 2009, 09:30:35 pm: Jaywalking (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaywalking)

For those who don't get it, this is a sarcastic response to the locking of that thread about torrent sites.

Post by: Qent on October 14, 2009, 09:54:30 pm: Well on a street I keep to the crosswalks and only cross at the designated times. On-campus, anything goes. Even if there's a car trying to use the road.

Post by: StarSlayer on October 14, 2009, 10:45:08 pm: If there is a cross walk I use it, but thats pretty much because if you almost run me down I'm going to kick your car as it passes by.

Post by: Androgeos Exeunt on October 15, 2009, 05:52:36 am: The road at my house is six lanes wide (not counting the lane-wide median) and usually so empty, you could film a music video on the road without cordoning it off. The nearest traffic lights are at least a kilometre away.

Post by: FUBAR-BDHR on October 15, 2009, 10:46:35 pm: I don't even think it's against the law around here. It's pretty much pedestrians have the right away in Ohio so if you hit someone you get sued unless they don't make it. There are ordinances against it but it's city to city and I haven't seen one yet where it's been enforced.

People. . . don't . . . jaywalk?

Ever?

In that case, should the second option be "Yes, I jaywalk, but I will deny it even if you put a 30mm Avenger Cannon to my head"? :p

Also, srsly? People jaywalk in these parts all the time. You got places to go, **** to do, people to see. Who gives a damn if the shortest path from A to B happens to have a road in the way?
Title: Re: Jaywalking
Post by: TrashMan on October 16, 2009, 04:13:55 am: I generally use marked crossings.

I will jaywalk, but only if there's no crossing nearby AND there's little ot no traffic (meaning I can casually walk over the street and any incoming car will still be 100m away)

Post by: Nuke on October 16, 2009, 05:46:03 am: im evil about it, in some places i cross holding up a large rock, ready to go through the face of any driver that doesnt slow the **** down.

Post by: blackhole on October 16, 2009, 06:26:41 pm: I used to avoid J-walking, until I got to college. It's impossible to NOT j-walk here (or violate 15 traffic laws when you're on your bike).

Post by: tinfoil on October 17, 2009, 12:22:31 am: I walk like I own the damn road and I'm worse on a bike. Hey though, this is Canada, people here stop. Am I a bad person just because I exploit th... wait.

Don't answer that.

agreed. if they tried to make it a crime in ireland or the UK people would just laugh at the government. Then again, we do have some stupid laws already....
