I certainly opiate rx's should be limited, however I also think addicts or long term users should have options to declare themselves as such and get what they need without black markets.

I wish the pro life people would figure this out. You can't ban social problems, you can only manage the causes. If pregnancy wasn't a $10k condition that caused loss of life, evictions, long term economic uncertainty; abortions would decrease naturally.

What I wonder about is if Vegan causes mental illness or if it is the other way round?

Who the fuck gave you the authority to speak for all women? Do you personally KNOW this woman? Then don't assume that she "wouldn't be doing it" for whatever bullshit reason YOU can come up with. You don't speak for her and you sure the hell don't speak for me so why don't you take your shitty attitude elsewhere. Damn third gen feminists.

Isn't it amazing? Third wavers have tilted feminism on it's head, effectively describing women as so weak that they are the ultimate victims. That there is no choice that they are capable of making, having been forced into a life of debauchery by those damn members of the patriarchy that sit on the bus with their legs too far apart therefore reinforcing rape culture. A bizzare fugue state of the world's strongest, toughest perennial victims. And becoming more shrill by the moment. I've even seen some stories about "femicide" now. So now men want to eliminate all women from the earth? How's that supposed to work? Kinda takes both sexes to continue the species last time I checked. But I suppose even thinking that is silly and non workable is misogynist for the third wavers.

And in a fit of projection that would make closeted homophobes proud, they throw the Misogynist pejorative around like a Fifth Avenue confetti parade, merely proving who hates who.

A woman who chooses to do this sort of thing is not doing anything illegal, and the main qualifications are wanting to make money, and not being concerned about any negative views. It is her choice, no one else's.

Other people have worked and saved money, then gone to college after a number of years, taken advantage of tuition reduction or elimination programs at work, or even simply used student loans to get an education. In fact, there aren't all that many women who choose to fund their education this way. Most who do are just pragmatic about it. And I'm not going to judge. Seems we have some pretty judgemental types here.

A side note is that a lot of their "customers" are women. https://www.womenshealthmag.co... . Not certain how that plays into the misogynist screeching.

While you're at it, talking on a handsfree set hasn't proven any safer. so why are we specifically allowing it?

because handsfree was considered a viable alternative when people raised the notion if their hands are not being used, how is it different from talking to a passenger?

A bit like saying you can't consume any vodka before driving, but it's perfectly legal to be drunk off light beer while driving.

You have zero tolerence alcohol limit over there? Over here we are allowed to drink SOME alcohol and drive. So yes, I can't consume a triple shot of whisky, but a couple of light beers is fine.

Because we would then have to ban talking to the live passenger right next to you.
