Okay fine, lets start off with your clear misunderstandings of politics and a tad on the legal system. If the goverment decides to say, put up pay parking areas, why should you not pay it? You're clearly in violation of the law! And what happens when you don't pay it? Collection agencies, court, etc... So why should it be any different for a parking space at UBC? Do you not also realize that you are neglecting not only UBC but you are also neglecting everyone else who is paying for their ticket? Now, you were talking about being fair, how is that even REMOTELY fair? Because you're a cheap ass and won't pay but everyone else has to? Let me think about that and see if I change my point of view.

If you don't want to pay, SIMPLE: Just don't park there; Utilize your UPass. Other than that, follow the god damn rules or pay the fine that you so richly deserve.

nothing.

that example is as illogical as what I quoted:p :p

ok, its my fault, I said I wanted an engaging and articulate response. I completely forgot to ask for intelligence... even if i did, I have my doubts as to whether you would be able to deliver.

where to start??...hmm, well firstly, is this response even to me? is it? because 1/ i never said he shouldn’t pay for it. which makes your entire post pointless. I said he has the right to challenge its validity. let me put it in language you can understand: if he doesnt think its fair, he should go through the steps that are needed to voice his opinion.
2/ 'cheap ass'? this makes me chuckle, because I pay for parking all the time. A champion of rights, isn’t necessarily a law breaker.

I was going to continue, but honestly, your post doesnt deserve anything more than the above. no offence. But thank you for a longer reply. A for effort.

Wow, I didn't think this was possible but I think I actually lowered my IQ by reading your post. Your point is utterly ridiculous! Challenging the ticket, it is pretty obvious that in order to get a ticket, you must've done something wrong. In the very slim chance I am wrong, he's asking for a quick out. He isn't asking to challenger the system, he isn't asking for changing the rules, he's looking for a fucking loop hole in the system where he can cheat it and get away with it. Now tell me, how dumb do you feel now?

haha... I've clearly got you pretty revved up...
and i can see your concern about lowering your IQ, in your case that would be a disaster!
but there you go again with your incorrect info. did he ask for a loop hole, or a way to cheat the system? or did people just respond with that?

get you facts straight. youre now starting to waste my time, but i will humour you for another post or two. If you have nothing else to say, feel free to stop posting.

dude, don't waste your time with CRXTC, the guy has a history of idiotic posts which eventually get moved into fight club. i dont know how he is a mod. probably because the only forum hes a moderator of is the.... volunteer Forum.

thanks for the tip dude. I was starting to get that impression myself.

UBC is being sued for their parking tickets anyways... its a class action suit actually.

its not that i dont have money to pay or im just being unreasonable. but really, im a ubc student, im paying so much overpriced tuition, for some really bad profs and bad equipment. I have to buy all those stupid books and Personal response clicker which cost $45. i really dont see the point of that. I personally think its just a way for the university to earn more money from us poor students. Im paying so much to them, yet they are threatenin me to NOT LET ME REGISTER FOR MY NEXT TERM COURSES because of these stupid parking tickets, not to mention that their parking rate is SO HIGH. I just think that UBC is all about money now and that really makes me angry.

Pay parking is more of a way to deter people from driving rather then making money. If the rate wasn't that high then more people would drive, the campus would get congested with cars etc. there's only a limited amount of space. Just like downtown where the city's trying to increase the price once again to control the amount of vehicles and believe it or not, it's working there are fewer cars in downtown.
jwee you seem to have a problem with UBC in general. maybe it's time to try a different university. SFU???

Make translink your primary mode of transportation. I bus all the way from poco everyday at like 6am and you don't see me needing a car.

Bottom line really is, if you can't afford to drive to school then don't. Join the other 99% of students who can't afford to drive and bus the school. Thats why they gave you an u-pass.

If you really live that far, an alternative method is to park near UBC and bus the last bit. Save parking $, avoid tickets, and use that U-pass too. 3 birds with one stone. w00t.

Thats funny comming from you, remember what happened in FC? Say in this thread.. http://www.revscene.net/forums/showt...hreadid=439838

Yeah thats what I thought =)

$2000 is really cheap man, school in Canada is "rediculously" underpriced.
