Fok that!

You gonna let somebody else tell you what you can or can't eat?

...might as well let ISIs tell you how you can conduct your life too, eh?

I didn't say I condone it, just that I can see their motive.

I'm all for consumer protection, not protection of the manufacturers or importers of sub-standard electrical products.

Why oh why do you right-wing-nuts hate average Americans so much and don't give a shit if their house burns down at Christmas

I've been reading this thread from the start. All I can conclude so far is that the world has gone to nannystate hell because of mental cases like you .

Tell the truth. You can't tell shit by the package.


Just a lame headline thought up by a whining right-wing-nut that hates anything gubment.

So you don't think the manufacturers have a vested interest in the viability of their products?

Believe if you look back it was more likely the medical community rather than Big Brother making the pronouncement.

Routinely voted and ranked No. 1 in the world year after year . . . a basic FACT that our resident moron failed to see:

Nanny State Authoritarians Now Dictating Restaurant Menus

As goes California, so goes nation. That is not good news for anyone who wants to live in a free country. Now the bureauweenies running the city of Davis are dictating restaurant menus:

In what it’s calling an effort to encourage healthier options for children, Davis will require all restaurants in the city to offer milk or water as the first choice for all children’s meals.

An ordinance was passed by the City Council unanimously on Tuesday night, the Sacramento Bee reports.

Further restrictions will be required after vegans and animal rights activists who regard milking cows as exploitation lobby to get milk taken off the menu.

When Big Government can draw up restaurant menus, it has insinuated itself so deeply into every aspect of our lives that it can do most anything it pleases, leaving us at the mercy of officious tyrants and the wacky interest groups that tell them what to impose.

But, but, it's good for you that we take some things away - for the Better Good!

No I just stumbled on to this forum by chance. What a dumb fuck. Hypocritical moron. Social Security and hand outs are ok for you just not anyone else. Especially not those lazy nigs right?

Have you paid those back taxes yet?

Are you that daft ? Warren Buffet himself admitted that he would have been bankrupt if there was no government administered bailout in 2008. There has been no capitalism in the US for the last 20 years. Not since the LTCM bailout in 1998 anyway.

So what is there? Oh let me guess you are going to say socialism. I just read your other posts. No need to waste time with a nutcase like you.

Nice talking to you nitwit.

A disgusting mix of corporatism , cronyism and Keynesianism.

I was prepared to reserve judgement, but it seems people are right and you really are a wanker.

Future Cars Won’t Start if They Smell Alcohol

In the brave new world of total nanny state control, designated drivers will be obsolete, because cars won’t start if they can smell alcohol:

The Driver Alcohol Detection System for Safety is “a research partnership between the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and an industry consortium to develop technology to prevent alcohol-impaired drivers from operating their vehicles while under the influence,” according to a DADSS press release.

Two prototypes were displayed Thursday during a press event at the Department of Transportation. The breath-based system pulls the driver’s breath into a sensor where a beam of infrared light is directed at molecules in the breath. The sensor can compare carbon dioxide and alcohol molecules, and if the alcohol molecules are above a certain proportion of carbon dioxide, the vehicle won’t start. …

“The alcohol detection system will measure the alcohol in a driver’s blood in less than a second. If it is above .08, the legal limit in all 50 states, the vehicle won’t move,” the technology overview video says. “For drivers under 21, for whom any amount of blood alcohol is illegal, the system can be programmed for a zero-tolerance policy.”
