Actually, i had forgotten about it till now.
Thinking back it's pretty funny. Man, talk about culture shock!
Sometimes I still wish people would move a bit faster, especially on the road... it still amazes me how long someone will sit behind someone else when the light turns green before they honk their horn. I've seen people sit there for almost entire light before deciding to honk at the guy in front not paying attention. In NYC you can't even get your foot to the gas before someone is honking behind you! I think my middle finger muscles have weakened since I've been here. lol

Nothing gets me more upset that someone honking as soon as the light turns green. Some call it "faster culture" but it doesn't hide the fact that it's rude where ever you live. As for the middle finger... makes me want to run the person off the road, pull them out of their car, and shove that finger ... somewhere. Only people with no self control resort to that kind of stuff.

I pretty much agree, (which is why I was saying i hardly need to flip anyone off anymore) but settle down there big boy. Take your blood pressure meds.

Not quite the same, but....

http://www.statesman.com/news/conten...812photos.html

Man charged with taking illegal photos of topless women
Houston man arrested after deputy spots him lurking at Lake Travis.


Here are two snippets from the story:
Under state law, "improper photography" is defined as taking a photograph of someone or visually recording them without the person's consent and with the intent to arouse or gratify the sexual desire of any person.


James Hemphill, a First Amendment lawyer in Austin whose clients include the American-Statesman, said that under a broad interpretation of privacy laws, a person implicitly gives consent to be photographed by being in a public place.

While I support the First Amendment, the article doesn't make it sound like any model release was obtained.
