Bill To Ban Texting While Driving In Pa. Hits House Floor

I can't believe you just don't get this. i am afraid I can't make you understand. This has nothing to do whith material anything. This has nothing to do with texting, or driving, or people's saftey. I oppose this law and any like it, because people are handing over rights left and right(no pun intended.) People hear a "good idea" and immedeately say to the government, "We can't take care of ourselves, you do it." Its insane. Think about it this way 25 years ago, think about the grungiest dive bar you can think of. Think about walking into that barand telling the ownerthat one day the government would tell him that he couldn't smoke a cigarette in HIS OWN BAR! HIS PRIVATE PROPERTY! He would have laughed, and maybe busted your head. 25 years ago try telling parents, maybe yours, that if they spanked your backside. No beat you, no punched you, not kicked you, just gave you a swat on the ass, THEY WOULD BE THROWN IN PRISON IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA! The same government is not coming after fat people with a vengence. I see threads on forums where people are debating wether or not a parent should be arrested for child abuse if they have obese children! The point here is that all of these things seem like a good idea to someone. There is always someone who has a bug up there ass about something. The government should not be the place you go for things like this. If we keep having "just our issue" be taken care of, it will never stop, and before long they will coming for you! Look, you are one of the few people here that seems to have half a brain, and I don't think I am getting through to you, so I guess I quit, but I may just say I told you so someday(if we can still use forums.) I'll leave you with a quote from Thomas Jefferson( you know, one of those 18th century Taliban idiots according that other doofus.) "A government large enough to give you everything you want, is large enough to take away everything you have." Have a good night, and stay safe.  (Tuesday | post #163)

LOL! Thanks,I love that. I hate when people do that, I can't believe I did. I get so fired up on content in these places I generally let grammar, spelling and typing fly out the window.  (Tuesday | post #161)

You don't prevent it. There is an inherrent danger in living life, why do you feel that that should somehow not be true. I sidesteped nothing, you think its somehow noble to trade freedom for "other people's" lives. I say it doen't matter, no life is worth the end of our nation's principles, you seem to think it is. Would I be upset, of course I would, that's just stupid. Do I think we need to have the government do something about it, NO!  (Tuesday | post #159)

Anon, and M.Scott, Thanks for having my back, unfortunately we are casting pearls before swine. Its sad to think that the principles upon which the nation was founded have been abandoned in favor of a government that retools evolution by pandering to the lowest common denominator. I will never understand the proponents of the Nanny State, unfortunately the idea that one should live and be willing to die by principles is apparently too old fashoned for most people. Makes you wonder how long we have until we doon't even recognise the Country. Sad.  (Tuesday | post #158)

Let me get this straight. You are likening the Founding Fathers of our nation, the men who commited High Treason against the Crown by signing the Declaration of Independance, the men who framed and ratified the most brilliant document of freedom that the world has known to Afgan Taliban? Wow,dude, you're right, I whould leave. If the Freedom we enjoy has ben reduced to crybaby pussies like you attacking the most brilliant men in history and ridiculing their "18th century mentality, then fuggit, this country isn't worth saving.  (Tuesday | post #156)

Carbide you miss the point. You look at this issue as on single one. You look at this in a Micro view, which is fine. You are interested in people's saftey. I could care less. I am not looking at this issue beyond the fact that it is further legislation on personal behavior. I could care less if this is about texting, calling, eating, drinking, or giving your boyfriend a hummer while driving. This is about the overall propensity of people to offer up freedom to the government in exchange for security. In answer to your question, I and anyone else who served in the Military already, gladly offered our lives to protect your freedoms. Those aren't just words, Carbide, many people have died to preserve the freedoms that you casually hand over to the government, so you can feel a little safer. It just makes me sad to se it. As for the nitwit that said I am self absorbed. Wow, lets see, you want to take away other people's rights to protect your life. I want ot stand on the principles of our nations founders. I think your logic may be a bit fuzzy, sweetie.  (Tuesday | post #155)

Group claims Pennsylvania pork farm cruelty

Wait, he has no respect for humans because he said it jst an animal(which it is you goof,) but you want to put him into a pit bull ring where he will either be injured, killed or kill the animal( the more likely of the three, its just an animal.) So its ok to have no respect for life it it suits your agenda. If liberals are scum, animal rights activists are the puss that oozes from pigskin sores. Jackass. Who gives a crap about the pigs- they serve no purpose other than bacon anyway.  (Monday Nov 23 | post #6)

Government doen't save people, government is the enemy. They take Liberty and offer false security.  (Monday Nov 23 | post #139)

How about as a protest, I dip you in hot tar and cover you in feathers like they did to pro government weaklings in the 18th century? Screw you and everyone who believes govenment is the cure to anything. "A cure for the refractory."  (Monday Nov 23 | post #138)

By all means sir, lets have as few laws as we can. No, lets not trust anyone that would be stupid, just stop being so damned scared. Hell, no I don't mind "regressing " the joke that our putrid system of "justice " has become. I would be proud to live in a nation that based its law on principle instead of pathetic fear and childish worry for your life.  (Monday Nov 23 | post #135)

Right, laws are written so the weakest and most pathetic can have mommy government protect their useless lives. If you need the government to proitect you you really don't deserve to live. Actually, you are only marginally alive. But I guess having some body of fools tell you what you may and may not do in every aspect of your"life " is fine as long as you get to "live " that "life " forever and ever. Absolutly pathetic. I don't look at texting while driving as an liberty- or anything for that matter. Hell, I don't even have a texting plan. I look at this as an intrusion by the govenment on the right to live ones life free of govenment interference. An intrusion that is being perpetrated by weak links like yourself who are afraid to die. Like I said before, It sure is a good thing that the Founders were more concerned with Liberty than Security, because you we wouldn't be here if you guys were running things in 1776.  (Monday Nov 23 | post #134)

Not at all, and now you are acting dumber than you obviously are. You called me out, and I stopped actling like an idiot, please do the same. Don't oversimplify this. I don't WANT people to die. I am just willing to see it happen if that is what it takes to keep the govenment out of my car, my home and my life. This is about wholesale attacks on liberties by nany state government and people who would rather be safe than free. I want to live my life free of government entanglement. Unfortunately people like you are so afraid you may die that you place your meaningless individual life above everything that makes this country great. Ultimately you destroy liberty and guess what-YOU STILL EFF-IN DIE!  (Sunday Nov 22 | post #126)

That's a matter of perspective. I am not saying anything is OK. I could care less about subjectivity leave that for God. I am also not saying that I am trying to protect myself. i am neither that selfish or that narrow minded. I am saying that I would rather people die needlessly in order to prevent the erosion of liberty in this already damaged caountry. Thanka bout where we would be if the founders whould have put the safety of thier families over liberty.  (Sunday Nov 22 | post #124)

But are you saying that it is worse to have killed someone because you were texting/eating/tal king to someone/yelling at your kids, etc, than if I lost control on a curve or slipped on ice. Will your family member be any less dead? Or is this just about you getting revenge? You want someone punished for causing an accident, that is fine, but this legislation and this thread are about banning something that millions can and are doing safely so that we can prevent the minority who can't from possibly harming people. That I can't abide by under any circumstances. Your right to revenge and need for security is not worth the rights of millions.  (Sunday Nov 22 | post #122)

But it is about legislation. You are powerless to control such things, and unable to accept that fact, so your only recourse is to have the government destroy the rights of the many so that a tiny few will be safe.  (Sunday Nov 22 | post #120)
