    If NYC can ban trans fat in restaurants I see this as no worse an invasion of privacy or personal rights.

    This made me think about something else. My dad was fined a couple of days ago because he wasn't wearing a seat belt.

    I have to agree with my dad, that's pretty weird and insane.

    But clothes is, I think, something entirely different.

    which is true, but baggy pants is def much more of a stretch, imo.

    yeah, but they've done so much stretching to band behaviors of which they disapprove that i cant really do more than shrug my shoulders here. im hardly outraged. this has been allowed to go on long enough. why are people surprised? probly cos most have been asleep or watching tv ;)

    hey i have an idea!!

    let's ban corrupt politicians & power mad dick heads!!!!!!!!!(i know,it's redundant)


    they are much more of a danger than second hand smoke,baggy pants or seat belt laws.

    all we need is a couple million citizens who are concerned about their country to embark on the capital and make some citizen arrests.(ok,a whole bunch of arrests)

    The trans fat ban resulted from the obesity in America, especially the "children" dialogue. Fast food industry would stand to have lost millions of dollars with the bad publicity that trans fat was getting. People also, began to ask within restaurants if their food was being cooked it trans fat, the ban gained automatic support. The fast food/restaurant industry did not put up a fight against the ban. The food industry as a whole still utilizes it in packaged processed food products, their battle was over the labeling of contents issue.

    The end result that affects everyone was that this dialogue resulted with "overweight" (not obesity) being classified as a "medical" condition. A medical condition eligible to be covered under the "health care" system, including "Medicaid and medicare". So now people can be nip and tucked, get reduced gym fees, and ride around on a scooter cart on your tax dollar. But at least the children won't get fries cooked in trans fat when they go to a fast food place.

    Winner health care system
    Loser the taxpayer
    Kids still fat - got milk

    In other news...in the gay neighborhoods walking around with full on oiled up and throbbing erection is considered somewhat over the top...which has just come up a few notches in the past few months to edge out assless chaps http://members.arstechnica.com/x/zuvembi/pink-assless-chaps.jpg

    assless chaps is probably my favorite redundant phrases... if chaps weren't assless, they would just be called pants. :)

    Whoever created thongs is an idiot. I can't stand them....its like walking around with a permanent wedgie.....stupid design!
    I thought the whole point of thongs was to prevent a panty line ... in other words, to make sure people COULDN'T see your underwear ... so I don't get this trend at all. I personally think walking around with your underwear hanging out looks trashy, but if we're going to write legislation against everything trashy, we're not going to have time for anything else.
