we should ban car commercials.
as for banning perfume... I'm on the fence. It's nice when I am like... getting friendly with a chicka... but some old ladies wearing litres of stuff and you can sense them coming from blocks away. That's why I don't get friendly with old people.
My conclusion: ban old people. |

Its funny. Im actually complaining about all the "me me me" people. YOUR perfume bugs ME. YOUR smokes bug ME. YOUR eating junk food bugs ME. YOUR cell phone ringing bugs ME. We are increasingly intolerant of others and the government is encouraging it.
Screw the other guy? No. But dont hold me hostage to every single person's whim either.
PS i also have asthma. |
as it states in your sig - "common sense doesn't make sence anymore" - well i guess this holds true for every thread you start abotu complaining about this and that and the other thing. . . . so of course people are going to complain about issues that bother them - whether it is a pet peeve or an allergy.
we are allowed to voice our opinions (not that you said we aren't allowed to ) but u tend to get worked up if it is all about "me, me me" and your are all about "you, you, you!"
the government this and the government that - my god - unless you are the prime minister, your opinions about what the governement is going to do or ban, you will never be able to over come what they will do - pls stop witht his noncence rubbish thread shizzle about this, that and the other thang.
I will just not bother attending these classes anymore - they honestly bore me!
PEACE !:thepirate and good night - I have to wrap my prezzies now!

Yeah, tons of places have banned those, especially elementary schools and day camps.
I'll state my opinion on this one more time: schools leave children under the guardianship of teachers and principals. That makes them responsible for safety and puts a liability on them. Thus the issue is no longer about government and individual rights, it's actually much more similar to a private organization (like a daycare) trying to protect itself against civil liability. They have to put safety as the #1 concern, especially knowing that parents can't be relied on to give accurate information with respect to things like allergies (half the time they don't even HAVE the information).
Obviously this point becomes moot when we're talking about idiotic stuff like banning soft drinks, but I've seen the way some people react to excessive perfume and it's pretty brutal (my mom starts coughing up a lung half the time). If there's even a remote possibility that something might pose an *immediate* threat to health or safety, it has to be dealt with.
I'm very anti-government-interference, but public schools are fair game for just about anything because of liability issues. |
Then i think we need to change the laws of liability. That wouldnt be a bad thing either as people would actually have to take responsibilty for their own actions again. Wow, what a concept. |

Maybe if we changed the current laws (which obviously dont work) they would have to.
For example: If you drink and drive its your own damned fault for being so stupid.
NOT the bar, your friend, the liquor company the office party, or the car manufacturer. |

That would be quite difficult since liability laws are largely case law as opposed to written legal documents. Civil litigation is subjective by definition and unless you could somehow convince every single judge to suddenly ignore all case history, you're S.O.L. on that front.
There are certain aspects of civil law that I think are ridiculous (Personal Injury liability and Manufacturer's Liability, to name a few), but when it comes to small children I think it's just fine. Do you really think a 9-year-old girl can take responsibility for her own actions? And obviously her parents have no say in what she does when she's at school.
Edit: ^^ RobbyG, please just stay out of this, you're not contributing anything. I actually agree with your conclusion and I still think you're just running off at the mouth (or the fingers, whatever). |

I agree with this to a point.....if someone is clearly intoxicated and no one cuts them off or steps in to stop the person from driving at this point, then ya I feel that they should be somewhat accountable |

Change the laws???...hmmm...that would require the legislature/government to do that:( ... you just stated that the government is encouraging us to be "intolerant" YET
when you need them to make changes in our lives (i.e. "laws of liability"), there you are front & center...saying that the laws should be changed (that requires government intervention)... |
