Ya know, we pick on Raptor a lot here - and deservedly so. He's basically a good kid, but he *IS* just a 16 year old kid and it shows. Hopefully this all will help him grow up. It took a hitch in the military to straighten my *** out. Now Manual - that's a different story, he's beyond help...........

Did you see ManuelF150's quote?

Keeps a log? Maybe you (NoLongerJeepin) and I have a different opinion or understanding of the word "ODD"...

Here's what I do: use the "pit maneuver"
I can't stand speeders either, and since I couldn't be a cop (stupid pshrinks- I mean I know more about being a cop than any of those guys... been doing it since I was 16- just like you). I got myself a pair of handcuffs (Hiatts are the best), a can of pepper spray (can't carry a gun anymore, those stupid pshrinks), and a siren (just like you). When those damn law breakers come into my jurisdiction, I pull their asses over and arrest them. Of course sometimes they don't pull over, so I just spin them out by tapping the inside corner of their car with my fender (inside a high speed turn works the best). IE: the pit maneuver
I know what you're thinking... yes it does get expensive replacing all those fenders, but I just write the body work off on my taxes as "civic duty" related expenses.
So anyway, once you drag the bastard out of his car, you put the cuffs on him and place him under arrest. Now, this is VERY important... make sure you read him his Miranda rights!
Now, I used to take them straight to the police station, but that's not such a good idea (trust me-stupid pshrinks). Instead, since those lazy real cops can't do their job, and you can't trust those DA's for having any sense of what punishment should be, I just take them into the jail at my house. There is a lot less paperwork involved. Right now, I got a guy in the basement serving 25 to life for doing 38 in a 25.
Now, again, I know what you're thinking- "How did I know exactly how fast he was going?" Easy... at night, I go around and paint lines on all the streets in my neighborhood every 1/4 mile... lots cheaper than a radar gun.

If only people would care about themselves maybe 1/4 of what they care and pay attention to others, this thread would not even have to exist.

Habibi (حَبيبي) is an Arabic word that literally means my beloved (of a male; the female form is habibati, or colloquially habibti), from the adjective habib (beloved). It is commonly also used for friend, darling, and similar endearments.
Or from the Urban Dictionary:
Arabic word for sweetheart, originally a serious one (more like a husband/wife then a boyfreind/girlfreind)
The sweetheart meaning makes me
So if you say don't be a Habibi, you are in essence saying "Dont be a sweetheart." ...and thus saying for him to be exactly the opposite of that which you desire him to be. You are a complex person Mike.
