Skokie to weigh taxi compromise
Cabdrivers say ban on parking is unfair, potentially harmful

Re: Re: Re: Re: Skokie Bans Taxicab Parking

Why should cabs be the exception to this rule? No other commercial vehicle is allowed to park on our streets. Why does that rule not apply to cabdrivers? I love how you cabbies like to play the race card whenever you see fit. You don't like something so it must have been done because of your skin color or ethnicity. My husband has a construction van that he is not allowed to park in our driveway or in front of our house. Is it because I'm white or because ITS THE LAW? If I was a minority, could I say it's racism?

If you don't like our laws, you are free to leave. You have that freedom because you are in America. But if you stay, follow the rules like everyone else. Stop complaining.

By the way, no one is forcing you to drive a cab. If you don't like your job, find a new one. Take responsibility for your own life and stop expecting everyone else to fix your problems. And I don't want to hear about being "poor immigrants." My parents came to this country with nothing and they became successful by hard work. They never complained, they never expected any handouts. They controlled their own destinies and you can too. But not if all you do is complain.

Who is complaining?

YOU or I?

"Who is complaining?"

Are you serious? Do you really have to ask this question?

Well if you really do, I'll try to answer it in simple language so you can understand.

YOU ARE COMPLAINING.

By you, I mean you Mr. Tang and the rest of the people on this forum, who I can only assume are cabdrivers as well. Please look at pretty much any post on this forum to find examples of cabdrivers complaining. It seems to be your favorite hobby - complaining about how poorly your treated instead of working to fix your situation.

Personal responsibility - a precious natural resource. Please try to find it in yourselves.
