Then we'll have to disagree then. I still think it's a toll, based on my reading of what a toll is and what the London Congestion charges are. We seem to be going around in circles.
More insane ramblings by the people who brought you beeeer milkshakes!
And as you know, these are open forums, you're able to come and listen to what I have to say.

Well, I was going to say you'd managed not to be unwarrantedly insulting in this thread, but there you go. You and Arabikum can go a congratulate each other on having the same opinion and being so much better than people who have a different one now then, I guess.
You made a big thing about the Germany comment not me.

Yes when the American Government has to pay it's dues for once we end up playing semantics.
Um - wouldn't go there if I were you.

It would be interesting, though, to see a comparison of other countries' traffic/parking fees/taxes in New York and Washington DC. I make no judgment on it, I just would like to know if such a document exists in the public sphere.

I would think that you could get that info. How about LA. I wonder if they have that sort of thing?
I know that Washington, DC is a NIGHTMARE to get into, park and get out of. They could defianately benefit from some sort of congestion scheme.

I haven't, have I.
I didn't call you sexiest in the other thread, that was you. I didn't call you a Troll in this thread, that was ARABIKUM.
I still haven't insulted you on this thread, you have insulted me.
How's about you get off your high moral horse and come back down with the rest of us where you belong.

"NEW YORK (AP) — For years, United Nations diplomats were notorious for running up millions of dollars in parking tickets, then just laughing at the city's attempts to collect. Diplomatic immunity meant there was little U.S. courts could do about it.
But the city's thousands of foreign officials have largely changed their ways since a threatened crackdown three years ago.
According to New York's finance department, diplomats have gotten 90% fewer tickets since late 2002, when the U.S. threatened to revoke the plates of scofflaws and subtract however much they owed in fines from the foreign aid their countries received. "

I know USA today is only a step above People magazine, but this article is funny. Way to go US for the sick but funny sense of humor towards how to force the diplomats to pay: subtract it from foreign aid! ha!
