Sounds pretty harsh!

Its about having to get fingerprinted to go into clubs now. But here's a good one too:
Fingerprint ID used for School Lunchabcnews.go.com/US/wireStory?id=2629169&CMP=OTC-RSSFeeds0312Now, I need to discuss the information that the government has on our children. This may gross out the guys a little, but hang in there, there's a point to it. After the birth of both of my sons, they were given foot sticks that were to supposedly determine Rh factor. However, the blood was placed on a "postcard" and mailed to God knows where to keep on file for God knows how long (their DNA right there). Then, I was also asked to sign a form and submit a fee if I wanted the "cord" saved for future use in case my newborn obtained a disease growing up that required any kind of transplant. In that case, I would have a sample of a perfect match that could be utilized to perform any kind of transplants (cloning?). I did decline this measure, as I remember the price being pretty steep (frozen storage and whatnot). However, I was told that I had "30" days to change my mind. OK. So here's my point. Who's to say that it was ever discarded. How would I know? As far as I know, they probably already have both of my sons DNA on file, and eventually, will have their fingerprint through the lunch line! PS. The "government" also sponsors an ID program where you can send in a bite block/saliva sample of your child and have them keep it on file. My suggestion, buy the kit and store it yourself (room temp). |

Woman faces fines for wreath peace sign This chicks homeowners association says no signs allowed, potentially $25 a day until she takes it down. This is the kind of S H I T that pisses me off! Its not even a sign, its a phucking wreath in the shape of a peace sign! Apparently parents of soldiers are all salty over it. So now peace is offensive. WTF? news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20061127/ap_on_re_us/anti_peace_sign

This same attitude was taken in the film Full Metal Jacket, where private Joker is caught wearing a peace symbol and is asked to remove it. Crazy stuff... but I will now place an upside down US flag.. let's see what happens

Laws prohibit smoking near childrenThis article was in my local newspaper today (couldnt find a link, but found a similar one). Arkansas and Louisiana have apparently passed this already. The ban includes smoking in your vehicle with a child in the car, or in your home with children present. Now, as a non-smoker with children, I will state my thoughts on the subject. Yes, not smart, and very inconsiderate to smoke anywhere near children. However, I feel that this is the long arm of the law trying to scrape away at our PERSONAL FREEDOMS under the guise of "protecting our children". Whats next, Im not allowed to give my kids fast food because it will cause obesity? Should we fine parents like myself who enroll their young children in contact sports such as wrestling or football because its dangerous? How about household chores like doing the dishes because there might be a knife in the sink. Or maybe my kids shouldnt ride their bike because they might fall off or even worse, get hit by a car. Ive got news for the second hand smoke believers. I grew up with both my parents heavy smokers, and I took many car rides across the country with my folks and a car full of smoke. Guess what, Im perfectly healthy, no ear problems, no heart problems, no lung problems. I guess Im a miracle walking. California state Senator Deborah Ortiz claimed that a child in a car with a smoker for one hour is effectively smoking 1 1/2 packs of cigarettes. OK, maybe a car sitting still with all the windows up while the smoker lights up square after square. I do not mean to make this a second hand smoke debate. What I am more concerned with is, like I stated before, the limitations that are slowly being placed on our freedoms and choices. And this one is disguised as a protection of your children. Basically a message going out that says if you smoke around your kids, you are a horrible sickening human being. This is how the government works, twisting things to make you demand that the problem be fixed. And the solution is to take a freedom from us. PROBLEM, REACTION, SOLUTION. If tobacco is so harmful, make it illegal. Guess what, never will happen. Taxation is too profitable. Hypocrits, hmmm maybe just a little. Strange that this law gets passed, but the law proposing that automakers make vehicles more environmentally friendly doesnt. The End. G pressherald.mainetoday.com/news/state/061112smoking.html?com_full=1#beginand another link from a blog of a physician who has studied second hand smoke; tobaccoanalysis.blogspot.com/2006/08/california-senate-passes-car-smoking.html

i also think it is hypocritical that tobacco companies put out anti-smoking ads but yet sell that very product legally. i'm not a smoker but the only smoke i like is illegal and that should be legal!  oh yes... |

Ok, so yesterday in my local paper, smoking with the kids in your car is horrible, today in the local paper... Bill would allow concealed guns in cars
Proposal would also nullify Cincinnati assault-weapon banHahahaha. They are trying to pass a bill that the gun doesnt have to be locked up in the glovebox anymore. You are free to have it wherever. With or without the kids in the car. news.enquirer.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20061129/NEWS01/611290384/1056/COL02 |

smoking is bad for you i don't mind they ban it really. seems like only the people who smoke get so upset. I agree and I'm a smoker, all be it one that is trying to quit as soon as possible. Hey I was 39 last week! lol It is a dirty, smelly, expensive habbit, and one that isn't at all good for you. So I'm not that bothered that over here in the UK we will not be able to smoke in any public place come July 1st 2007, once the new smoking laws kick it.. Smoking around children is just plain stupid, thats some thing I have never done. But I can also see the long arm of the LAW taking more and more of our public rights away from us. If some one wants to know how F*CKED UP this country has become , I can stand in the street and call the Queen a who*e but if I white and wear a tshirt with English and proud on it then Im a right wing nutter lol. So people take it from some one who was born and lived in the Uk all there life, this country has gone down the shi**er we are just waiting for some one to pull the flush. Needless to say I thinking of moving to another country for good next year wile Im still young enough. J |

I'm a smoker and try to stay out of peoples way when smoking outside. But there is nothing worst than that A-Hole that comes up next to you when smoking, and expects you to put it out. "Hey F-You you C U N T... you move!" At least by smoking I can't kill anyone with the car, unlike all booze drinkers. Believe it or not (as I pull cig from the box and light it) I'm trying to stop smoking right now  - rod |

Ohio lawmakers have agreed to limit the number of passengers in cars driven by 16 yr olds. The Ohio senate has approved the bill 29-3 on Wednesday that would let a driver under 17 have just one passenger who is not a relative.
Now this is supposed to facilitate less accidents as 16-17 yr olds make up about 9% of crashes involving death. Ok, I guess.
My problem once again is the laws that specify certain measures, but seem transparent to me, as I think it out.
So, as a teenager, it would be perfectly legal to cart my younger brothers and sisters around to whatever activities that they may have (oh the memories).... But illegal for me to carpool to school with my legal age driving friends.
I dont know. All I see is a trend. The next step is that people over lets say 65 cannot transport more than one person who is not a relative. Then eventually well be required to ride alone. Then well have no driving rights at all. All for good and the safety of man.
