    I don't consent to having to work for a living.

    That's not going to get me very far unless I have a government willing to pay for all my basic living expenses.

    Then who would the government tax to pay for the coverage of all those basic living expenses?

    You can see where I am going with this.

    It's very sweet of you to hold such an optimistic viewpoint.

    The reality would seem to be just the opposite, where there have only been a few families photographed amid thousands of young muscular males.

    Time will be the only determining factor in which of us is correct. It is prudent though under any circumstances to hope for the best and plan for the worst. Looks like you have the hope part going for you. I hope the government of France is doing the planning part.

    Meeting a woman is in reference to a man reassigning his priorities after falling in love with said woman to revolve around his dedication to caring and nurturing her.

    My Boss tried to dissuade me from continuing my relationship with my new GF ( Now my wife for 18 years ). My priorities changed from working from 5 am to midnight to 9 to 5, time for a quickie at lunch and time out for doctors appointments, childbirth and the like.

    When you get paid 100 for an 8 hour day and work 19 hours your effective pay goes from 12.50 an hour to 5.26. The boss is billing you out at 100 an hour. When you work 19 hour days his profit margin goes from $1900 per day to $800 per day gross while taking a larger percentage of that $800 knocking it down to $700 vs 1800 for the day. before calculating any other costs of operation and the costs to employ someone that's not visible on your paystub like insurance, taxes, etc.

    Silicon valley would do better to destroy the Misandrist movement before it does any more lasting and permanent damage. All it's really doing is preserving the virginity of young intelligent males and keeping them strapped to their desks for their free beer, gym memberships, and office games. How's it feel to be a tool of the financial patriarchy ?

    With smartphones and social media broadcasting our every little detail through the lens of narcissistic amplification to the entire planet it wouldn't take much effort at all to figure out your soft spots.

    > just around you

    Ideally there would be laws preventing cell phone use by drivers that is strictly enforced and people would just use good common sense *everywhere* and focus on their driving when driving instead of their phone, makeup, meal and in some cases having sex.

    Nobody is special DrinkyPoo, but everyone wants to *feel* safe, even if they really aren't. Having the desire to be safe shouldn't be considered 'special'. It's human nature. I pull over to talk on the phone if it's an important call etc. If we have to call 911 to report a Drunk Driver my passenger makes the call while I focus on driving.

    > You're not qualified to determine when others around you should be permitted to utilize the public airwaves.

    What I would give to be emperor. The truth is the collective majority has determined that activity to be dangerous and kills more people than Drunk Driving. In this case our opinions have *every* bearing on the matter.

    Wow that's either bait or ignorance I can't tell which.

    Seriously though, people on their phones for any reason while they should be *driving* should carry the same if not worse convictions and consequences as driving drunk. The only reason Drunks should have it easier is at least they are *trying* to drive. While people on their phones don't seem to give a rats knackers.
