    OK the US has 307,212,123 people and Japan 127,078,679 as of July 2009

    The average US male weighs 190.9 lbs; in Japan:136.5 lbs.

    So, that means that the US has about 58,646,794,280.7 pounds of people, and Japan only 17,346,239,683.5, so again: we're number one!

    My peeve is incorrect usage of 'anxious' instead of 'eager'.
    i.e. "The kids were anxious to get to Disneyland."

    'Anxious' comes from anxiety; so you might say, "I was anxious about the upcoming tax audit." or "The kids were eager to get to Disneyland."

    ...unless of course seeing a minimum wage worker dressed as a giant rodent makes your kids anxious.

    ...doesn't exactly frown on extramarital sex...

    Correct. In fact, the only rule regarding un-married sex is: if you sleep with a virgin woman, and decide not to marry her, all you have to do is pay her dad the difference between the 'virgin' bride price and the 'non-virgin' bride price.

  14. Re:Translation for the legislative impared. on Wisconsin DA Threatens Arrests Over Sex Ed · · Score: 1

    Mild correction:
    "2 under age persons having sex" cannot be 'consensual' sex, not because they have agreed to have, or not have, sex with each other, but because the law says they are too young to give consent.

    This also applies to why someone intoxicated also cannot give 'consent' even though they might seem willing. At that time, they are incapable of giving valid consent.

    BTW:IANAL

    "Forcing our schools to instruct children on how to utilize contraceptives encourages our children to engage in sexual behavior..."

    These things happen all the time.

    There's a guy with an artificial lawn in one town (Glendale, CA).
    They have passed an ordinance that says you can't have an artificial lawn anymore.
    If he leaves it in, he's in violation.

    If he puts in a grass lawn, he will have to water it every day 'till it takes. But, if he waters it every day he will be in violation of the two-day-a-week watering ordinance.

    If he waters it two days a week, it will die. If it dies he will be cited for having dead landscaping in his front yard.

    Yes - there are distracted driving laws that cover any kind of distractions (at least here in CA) but this is a federal law, which would cover "interstate truck and bus drivers."
    The state laws can only cover what happens inside the state.

    More to the point, it is obvious that talking on the phone while driving causes more accidents. Except that it doesn't.

    If you read this article, it doesn't say that people crash as much if they don't use cel phones - it says that people are ignoring the law banning cel phone use, and crashing just as much.

    "Police say it's not hard to spot people on cell phones while driving, but is hard to devote enough manpower and hours for enforcement to increase compliance. "I have people wave to me, they're on the phone, they stop with you, they're in traffic and they'll actually look over and wave to you totally not thinking that you're gonna stop them,” said Sgt. Joel Cardone of the Syracuse Police Department."

    Drawing the conclusion from this that cel usage has no impact on crashes is would be like this:
    You read an article that says: "Teen pregnancy rate constant despite mandatory classes in sex abstinence" and draw the conclusion that teens get just as pregnant whether or not they have sex.
