    You guys take big craps! :D I'm sorry I just couldn't resist adding a bit of goofiness into the afternoon. :p

    I was talking about the urinal. If you flush it once, it doesn't do much of anything. You have to flush three times for there to be clear water.

    But, you were and are paying for the people who didn't wear seatbelts or helmets. The way it should be... your melon gets cracked because you dumped your bike and were foolish enough NOT wear a helmet... the rest of us shouldn't have to pay for your poor decision, right?

    Totally agree. We should all be accountable for our actions. I shouldn't be held accountable for anyone's stupidity but my own. I shouldn't have to pay for fat people getting heart bypasses after eating their 15,000th big mac. I shouldn't have to pay for cancer treatments for someone who smokes like a chimney. I shouldn't have to pay for the idiot who doesn't wear a helmet.

    As for the light bulbs... its the results that matter. Like the smoking ban... everyone hated it. But, now we all realize how nice it is to go to a restaurant and a bar in the evening and not wake up the next day with your clothes wreeking of stale cigarettes. The energy we save may help us to cut the overall energy bill as well as pollution.

    While I may be happy with the way my clothes smell after the smoking ban, I'm not happy the the smoking ban exists. I'm not happy that people accept government intrusion based on the promise of a downy fresh smell.

  • Yes.
    If that's what they want, yes. Dueling should be completely legal.

    I think dueling is legal... the the part where you shoot the other person isn't :)

    ;) I'm usually cursing the other people who are too lazy or not bright enough to flush it enough times.

    Hehe....I guess you're right on that one.

    But hey, if someone understands what they're getting into and willingly chooses to do it, who am I to tell them that they're not allowed to have a good-old-fashioned duel??? Plus, it might thin out the morons a bit....

    Stay tuned for future legislation regarding mandating low-flow showerheads and banning showers longer than 5 mins.
    There all ready is law on this. Federal Energy Act of 1992 mandates all new showerheads must be low flow (less than 2.5 gallons perminute).
