This is the leader of our nation. And we flat out have no choice but to laugh at him.


The next administration? We're f8k'd for the next 40 years, i.e., the rest of my life.

Although my quality of life is better than many hundreds of millions around the world (I'm referring to basic living conditions: roof and walls, indoor plumbing, heat, electricity, gas -- yes, I like these things), I have no grand expectations of much more than that, and I count on myself to make my life fulfilling. But I would really appreciate it if I could keep my measley little decent life in one piece, please.

Never mind. Reality just slapped me into clarity again.

Re: Social justice activists honored in Jersey City

Home away from home


For the record, the rights social activists defend were not bestowed on us by the "capitalist pigs" (referencing DTG's clip). We were all born with them.

Certain powers, made up of a very small number who happen to control major wealth and influence, and whose wealth and influence is made only with the work and effort of countless others, would limit them, remove them, deny that birthright, even to those who help amass that wealth and influence.

Power to the people.

Thank you, Grovester, for sharing. I've seen bad service there and, like you, began to get the impression that they were getting cocky and losing their investment in customer service.

I don't need a constant sunny disposition, but that's a social violation.

I believe your story. I had been going there less and less over the last year+. Now, they are off my list completely.

Eventually, they will either get the message and begin to appreciate their customers and their bounty, or they will go out of business.

I learned that the incident was put in his official jacket. He had other incidents of over-zealousness. Within a short while, after only 2 years on the force, he was out.

On researching the original excuse for the law, I learned it went back to the day when the only lighting for photography was the explosive powder in a tray that you may have seen in old movies. The law was intended to prevent an accident due to temporarily blinding a motorman or disorienting people on the platform and causing them to fall onto the tracks.
Great post. I learned a lot. Thanks.

Well, Webmaster? I believe fasteddie that he quoted it first.

So, are you going to check the credits before you sell the shirts? Here's your motivation to sell these shirts on jclist:

A new template for the print, with a centered line at the bottom saying:

"courtesy of FastEddie . www.jclist.com . (c) 2006"

that would make it alright by me. because, even though the Healy team probably hates the image impact of this shirt, I bet Jerry has gotten a guffaw or two or fifty out of it himself. It's sooooooooooo Jersey City.

Eddie, if you really coined that, you deserve more than a t-shirt, dude.

Re: Wayne Street Issues
Home away from home
Home away from home


when i moved into my neighborhood uptown a couple of years ago, i was the first vanilla cream on the block. my block got used to me pretty quick; the teenagers started calling me, "Ma'am" and getting out of my way after i started asking them where they live.

the loser adult guys are something different. my block is ok. but my neighborhood is sketchy here and there at different times.

ignoring is my first tack, because yes, they generally want a rise out of you. but sometimes, you have to look them in the eye and tell them to "back off, mthrfkr, who do you think you're dealing with?" which they will follow up with "what's the matter, i'm just trying to..." to which one might respond, "well, i'm not interested so fk off! now, have a nice day!"

sometimes it works.

I almost rented a Heights property from Hashmi in Fall 2005. We met twice to look at different properties in the middle of the work day. He pulled a bait and switch and brought to our lease signing documents showing a 40% higher rent than we had discussed.

Whew.

Re: JC Post Office - Be Very Afraid
Home away from home
Home away from home


Ah, yes, the JCPO. Stunning, isn't it? Remember when "the check's in the mail" was a poor excuse for a late payment? Now it's probably true.

The JCPO delivery problems are endemic and not restricted to any neighborhood.

The "nobody was home" bs is very common, sad to say. I don't know what the problem is. it's stunning to me that there is no quality control, no one is in charge, at least not to the point that "customer service" has any meaningful significance.

i've also seen:

- a FAMILY delivering mail, specifically CHILDREN being handed batches of mail by their (presumably) postal carrier parent to drop into boxes up and down the street. I saw this result, not surprisingly, in mail put into the wrong mailbox and mail thrown onto steps.

- when my landlords moving out, they changed their address, and MY mail stopped coming. after a few days of no mail, i called the PO and was told the carrier had made a mistake. [what kind of a mistake is that? you get a stop mail notice for one party, so you stop the other party's mail too? ????] after that the mail came trickling in but three months later i was still calling the P.O. about mail i wasn't receiving and i finally got a huge bag of mail that was sitting somewhere in a corner in the PO.

it's disappointing how low people's expectations are, of themselves and others.

When or where on this forum has an officer lost their professional attitude and acted out of turn (whatever that means) to warrant the PD to receive the constant bashing on this self-important meaningless forum?

The webmaster should change the name of this site to the:

Just Complaining List

i didn't mean only on this forum. and let's not get into a p*ssing contest about THIS now. people on this list do take potshots from behind the cloak of anonymity. and I am not anti-police or a police basher, which I think means you automatically blame the police officer. definitely not. but in my 50 years i have seen plenty of inappropriate behavior from police officers on the street. there are some who understand their burden with regard to how they act with the members of the community they serve and hold themselves to it, while holding the public responsible for their responsibilities as well. and there are others whose bad day, feelings of insecurity, arrogance, not enough sleep, whatever, come between them and their professionalism and the consequences of that spill out onto the public.

there is really nothing to argue about.

people love, love, love to bash the police.

yes, they do, for good or bad. anytime you take a leadership position of any kind, official or otherwise, you draw attention and attack. people who do NOT take responsibility project their needs onto those who do. from parents to business owners to elected officials, police, physicians, and on and on -- it's human nature, and those who take a leadership position have to anticipate it and deal with it, or back off.

it comes with the territory, with stickng your neck out, and it behooves someone like a PD Community Liaison to work on dealing with it.

on a side note, what you call "police bashing" is sometimes hard but appropriate reaction to inappropriate behavior. we all have seen PD officers lose their professional attitude and act out of turn. it's a tough job and people mess up. PD personnel cannot afford to be too thin-skinned. but nonetheless, i think a lot of that bashing is just because the police are convenient receptacle for people's frustrations. oh well.

It saddens me that there's no longer a police officer posting on this board. It was amazing interacting with Officer Mac on this board and recieving true information instead of rumors and knowing that our concerns were being heard. To me, it was the BEST thing about this board.

The fact that some JClisters want to get into a pissing match shouldn't prevent the positive interaction that can occur between a police officer and members of the community. Councilman Fulop posts here all the time and from what I've seen, does not engage in a pissing match with those here that antagonize him. My respect for him and his office has increased due to his interactions and follow through.

This board is an incredible opportunity for the police department to engage with the citizens they protect and serve. It's an opportunity to interact with the community in a different way than how most people interact with their local police officers, if they interact with them at all.

It's also an opportunity to build a relationship with the community. I've always respected the job police officers do, but interacting with Officer Mac increased my respect for the JCPD because I felt we were being heard because Officer Mac had a relationship with us here.

They are not required to get into a pissing match here on JClist. They can choose to ignore those who have nothing to contribute.

The internet is a now a part of how people communicate. It is now a part of how officials communicate with the public. To ignore this medium and choose to communicate with the public only in meetings is shutting out a lot of people.

Ditto. Communicating on a central board like this is an excellent addition to attending the Neighborhood Association meetings, Watch meetings, etc. I know Officer Mac acted independently when he posted here, but imo, he was appropriately supplementing and complementing his official duties. I wish he could have been rewarded in some other way than promoting him OUT of the position.

I would go so far as to suggest that the Community Liaison Officer should have the skills necessary to engage in this kind of forum and should assigned to do so, for all the reasons Valkin gave.

I can't imagine a restaurant, bank, grocey store been profitable with only 120 units as customers, (growing to 1200 in 5-years). However, I might be wrong.

Those of us who have moved by necessity to McGinley Square, which is more convenient to downtown and lower Manhattan than most of the Heights, will be happy to engage in commerce with Beacon residents. I'll be happy to buy in their stores and sell them my goods and services.
