Coasters to Face G-Force Limits?
jonerik writes "NBC News is reporting that today New Jersey will begin examining the possibility of placing limits on roller coaster G-forces. Pointing out that the G-forces on coasters are considerably greater than even those experienced by astronauts and race car drivers, legislators on both the state and national levels want to start reining in coaster G-forces which have been blamed for a number of injuries and deaths over the past few years. Pansies. Why do they think people ride roller coasters to begin with?"
Yes, I claim this one for Howard! King of all media, baby! HOWARRRRRRD!!
You fucking Squid-humping Red Wings fans can lick my ASSHOLE!!!
Is that even a state anymore?
No you're just a bunch of fucking pansies.
None. Don't worry about it. If something goes wrong just sue the owner of the back yard coaster. Hehehe.
maybe this post was +1 interesting but considering slashdot has done a story on backyard rollercoasters [with this exact link] before, you have to wonder how it is interesting at all.
You have no chance to learn make your time
Come on, give it up, that's
Fuck it! Lets just all live in ANARCHY where everyone can do whatevery THEY WANT TO DO! YEY! With Anarachyism there are NO RESPONSABILITIES and you can do WHATEVER YOU WANT TO DO! There are no opressors and there are none who are opressed! Problems with racism, sexism, and other isms are ELIMINATED WITH ANARCHYISM! There will be no governments or corporations trying to run your life under ANARCHY!
Second, if your 16 yo cousing blacked out on a roller coaster and continued to have blackout problems for a few months afterwards, there was almost definately ALREADY SOMETHING WRONG!!
Third, you asshole! WTF is wrong with you? Why do you feel the need to be an ass?

Are you advocating getting the jerk off?
Somebody better tell that to my-fat-ass brother. If

I used to work in Camden a few years ago. Since then, ALL of the coworkers I hung around with that lived in NJ have left for DE. I can think of several reasons why I wouldn't move to NJ (I live in PA):
- HIGH property taxes. And I don't mean a little high. My aunt and uncle in South Orange pay $12k a year. Not twelve hundred, twelve thousand. That's a new car every two years, folks. BTW, my friend in DE pays $1,200 a year by comparison. We pay $2,800.
- Is it me, or is every damned thing in NJ illegal anymore? Take your pick. If it isn't breathing or eating, it's probably legal in PA and DE and illegal in NJ (though DE is catching up quickly). Geez, folks, what isn't regulated to hell and gone there?
- Paranoia about traffic speed. Ever been to Pennsauken? 'Nuff said.
I could probably go on but it's time to get some work done (sigh).
