We used to have a joyriding crime here in the US. however our politicians wanting more people in jail and fewer people qualified to get jobs. Decided joyriding should be reclassified as grand theft auto and be a felony.
I am not discussing just smoking. For gawd sake some cities are banning the use fireplaces Its ridiculous. So the few people in the population as a whole that have respiratory issues. Should not take any measures to protect themselves. But everyone else should?
There we go. Back to a root cause which i have no problem with. Its when we go beyond that like some cities are doing banning the use of fireplaces. For the convenience of those like your sister.
I have no problem with smoking being banned in enclosed spaces. its when we start talking about banning things out in the open (stadiums, outdoor concerts etc i include as enclosed spaces) which have little relevance to the problem.
Human rights is a very interesting term. So your sister should NEVER have to do anything with in reason. But everyone else should. So no smoking, fireplaces, barbecues, fireworks all because your sister can't be bothered to use something like a respirator with her disability. So everyone else gets inconvenienced so she is never inconvenienced.
I am suggesting that their is a finite cost both financially and time wise associated with inconvenience many for the convenience of the few. At a certain threshold we are beyond it making any since at all to follow through. While i am sure you would be happy to see every person on the planet bend over backwards to keep one person in the best of health or alive. It just can't hold water forever. But that is the latest thing. Because we are civilized we do it. But at what cost.
That is part of life. Just like people allergic to pollen or peanuts . But i understand, its the latest trend inconvenience the many for the convenience of the few. Don't anyone dare challenge it because its for a disability.
I am looking forward to the day smoking gets banned. All those haters will be looking for the next thing to outlaw. I find the whole thing immensely amusing.
if your going to use that tact. We should ban all high risk activities like extreme sports. Can't lose that valuable person to a skydiving or rock climbing accident.
MADD is seriously fucked up. While drunk driving is a serious problem. MADD includes all intoxicated car statistics in their drunk driving hatred. Car accident with death of drunk passenger, car accident with death of drunk pedestrian etc etc.
You should do some research. I'll break it down for you.
Being in an enclosed space with a smoker = bad. Being within four feet continually of a smoker outside = bad. Walking down the street and passing a smoker = not bad. As much as the haters would like to get x banned. For any reason they can come up with. Even one that make no sense scientifically. They keep using it anyway. All the other things are bad. No one will notice if i include something that is not bad.
There are very few regulations for theatres. What regulations do exist are standard for pretty much any public building.
It costs so much because of all the electrics that need to be installed and the cost of all the instruments along with the dimmers and console. Those four things are the most costly (and required) when moving into a warehouse type space.
Sad thing is you got modded down for the only thing the public has left open to them to force change. Yes everyone putting money together to form lobbyist groups to buy off politicians would work. However it is very unlikely to happen. Assassination's on the other hand i do see as a very likely possibility.
Actually from what i have read. That is true with one exception. The one exception is a new one. Is that during all out war nukes are tolerable.
from Aljazeera http://www.aljazeera.com/indepth/opinion/2012/01/20121212653433219.html
In the 1980s, the revolutionary leaders of the new Islamic Republic of Iran swore off weapons of mass destruction (WMD) as un-Islamic. During the course of the war, however, Saddam Hussein's Iraq used chemical weapons against Iranian troops, spurring Ayatollah Khomeini to reverse his position and restart the country's chemical weapons programme. In the process, Khomeini established the philosophical foundation for a key principle within the Islamic Republic known as "maslahat-e nizam" or "expediency of the system", by which the needs of the Islamic Republic as a political institution might trump even Islamic law.
This suggests that Iran's commitments not to develop WMD in the early 1980s carried an implicit understanding that the religious prohibition on such weapons does not necessarily apply in a state of war.
So far, Tehran's leaders have declared that they have no interest in nuclear weapons, citing the same religious opposition as before. The US intelligence community has repeatedly assessed that if Iran wanted to develop atomic bombs, it has the scientific, technical and industrial capacity eventually to do so. Then why hasn't Iran put its technical know-how to use building up a nuclear arsenal? Experts widely agree that Tehran has yet to form a consensus in favour of actually building the bomb, and in the absence of such a consensus prefers merely to keep the option open for the future.
Whether or not Iran builds a nuclear weapon, then, will be based on Tehran's cost-benefit calculation. Fundamentally, the future of Iran's nuclear programme will be decided within the context of Iran's larger foreign policy strategy, which Iran's leaders have characterised as a policy of responding to pressure with pressure. Therefore, the easiest way for Iran to arrive at a consensus in favour of building nuclear weapons would be in response to a provocation from the West.
I wish i could find the article. The NAVY from what i've read wants to get away from carriers. Focus more on guided missile frigates. TPTB like scare the shit out governments by parking a carrier off the coast. Even though the NAVY feels they are to susceptible to modern day weapons.
I would totally agree with you if said drivers only killed them selves off. Be gone with the idiots they are only dumbing down the human population as a whole. Unfortunately they have a habit of taking those with them who only had the misfortune of being in close proximity of the idiot.
The problem with the millions of scripts out there that everyone seems to want. Is everyone seems to forget the studio's are a business out to make money by investing it in making a film. Investors typically don't try new things/idea's very often as they have learned that new idea's have low probability of return above what they invested. What do investors want? More money. What continually earns money, rehashing the same old story. When telling the same old stories does not earn the studio's stupid amounts of profit. They will try new stuff. In the end why try the risk. Would you invest in a new idea if it did not regularly produce results?

Odd i have had two coworkers have vehicles stolen outside the Georgia Dome in the last year.

Not to the degree the haters would lead us to believe. Its been proven the only part that is bad beyond 4 feet is the smell.
There we go. Back to a root cause which i have no problem with. Its when we go beyond that like some cities are doing banning the use of fireplaces. For the convenience of those like your sister.

That is real civilized.

SO yes i am putting a price tag on your sister.
That is part of life. Just like people allergic to pollen or peanuts . But i understand, its the latest trend inconvenience the many for the convenience of the few. Don't anyone dare challenge it because its for a disability.

Apparently gaming is just like sci-fi. That's just for kids. While the majority of older folks are closet gamers/sci-fi fans.
There are very few regulations for theatres. What regulations do exist are standard for pretty much any public building.

Thank you..
Thank you.
I always look at the peview. That is when I notice the formatting went to hell. Did not know how to fix it. Hence the question.
Ok this is getting annoying. How do you get formatting to work on /.? all my formatting and paragraphs get stuffed together.

Yes we will swat them down just like bee's. Just like bee's only takes one to hurt.
Kind of like back in the day. When the advantage of running your own game server was all the aftermarket mods.

I understood it to mean due to a network problem he was only getting 4meg that when fixed exceeded the 7meg offered from dsl.
