| Banned | New York may ban iPods while crossing street
I don't know how I feel about this. On one hand I see why they would want to do it. On the other hand it seems like we as people are having less of a say in what we do. Know what I mean? Quote:

Darwin's theory still lives and here a legislator is trying to nulify it via legislation. Hopefully it won't make it out of commitee.

Yeah, but thats like saying we need to pass a law forbidding people to sleep on their left side as it might put added pressure on their heart(don't know if your being serious or not, but I think you get my point).

They are going to ban everything in NYC, aren't they? They just recently banned trans-fat in foods. Whatever happened to personal responsibility? |

| That one has little to do with personal responsibility, .22 guy Quote:
Here's what Wikipedia says on the subject: Trans fats occur, in small quantities, in meat and dairy products from ruminants. Most trans fats consumed today, however, are industrially created as a side effect of partial hydrogenation of plant oils... Unlike other fats, trans fats are neither required nor beneficial for health. Eating trans fat increases the risk of coronary heart disease. For these reasons, health authorities worldwide recommend that consumption of trans fat be reduced to trace amounts...Trans fats are tightly regulated in a few countries, must be disclosed on product labels in many others...Many companies are voluntarily removing trans fats from their products, or establishing trans-free product lines. | |

You still have a choice on where and what to eat.

I hope the short, plump, little meter maid giving me a ticket with a phone jack stuck in her ear is able to get her fat behind back on her 3 wheeler, and not get run over while pulling out. "actual thought" while getting a ticket for 2 minutes over parking in downtown Prescott. Oh well, pay the fine, and learn next time. |

with all these laws, how are we to weed out the gene pool?

Don't worry Apollyon, they'll manage to weed themselves out anyway, one way or another. The more civilised and technological we get, the more ways there are for them to do it.

More laws to protect us from ourselves. We tolerte it, guess we deserve to be treated like little children. But, that's what the government wants, us to need them.

Yup! Dumb new yorker, too stupid to look where they walk. Thinning the heard of new yorkers may be a good idea....after all, they did elect the beast. And besides, I can do with a few less new yorkers around here!
