    I'm not for the ban - I don't wear an ipod walking around, but I don't think people should be stopped from doing so.


    I am not for the ban either. People will do what they want to do. Even if they are in their own little world while living in the real one.

    Absolutely nothing, but miller likes to use controversial buzz words to make himself sound smart and to feel better.

    and anyway, don't move here if you disagree so much.


    HAHAHA...the old move out of the country (or state) if you disagree!!!!

    I've seen this before, and I've seen people talk about how stupid it is to say it too.

    Not to nitpick too much, but she actually said not to move to a city/state/country you don't agree with.

    Even if you aren't listening to your iPod, NYC can be very noisy. Perhaps they will ban jackhammering, construction work and sirens where pedestrians are present. After all, those things can drown out the sound of oncoming traffic as well.

    (this would be a stupid, stupid law)
    The only people we should try to get even with...
    ...are those who've helped us.

    Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.

    They should ban people there too. They talk really loud on the sidewalk.

    Having your government tell you what you can and cannot wear doesnt sound a little socialist too you?

  • I mean, what happened to a little common sense?!?! Or has it gotten to the point where people are that oblivious to their surroundings that laws need to start being put into place?

    When they are thinking about head gear for soccer and sledding. They are taking it way too far.

    haha! I agree. I mean, if you can't walk around the city with some headphones on and still not be able to pay attention to your surroundings....I am not sure you should be able to leave your house! Be sure not to let them have any gum either while they are out walking around.

    This has to be the dumbest fucking proposal I have ever seen. What next we can't talk while crossing the street because we may be distracted.

    New York City is at it again. Now they want to help you to live longer by curbing your use of iPods, cellphones and blackberrys. For those who applauded the trans fat ban you only encouraged them to take away more freedoms from us all.


    God bless america and it's freedoms.
    Keep on rockin in the free world!!!!

    The economy has polarized to the point where the wealthiest 10% now own 85% of the nation’s wealth. Never before have the bottom 90% been so highly indebted, so dependent on the wealthy.
