How about a simpler idea: it's illegal to take your attention off the road and the act of driving. Doesn't matter why, only matters whether you're paying attention to your driving or not. That simplifies enforcement, if the cop sees you looking down inside the car rather than out the windshield at the road he doesn't have to worry about finding the right law for what you were looking at or even figuring out what you were looking at and you can't weasel out of it.
Distracted Driving is already a law on the books in most/if not all states. That's partially why there was pushback to start being specific about types of distractions. Just enforce what laws you already have.
This is exactly the issue I have with my Subaru BRZ. If the car is moving, you can't enter information into the GPS. Thats all well and good when there is only me in the car, but stopping my passenger from using it is asinine! I hit this issue on a road trip, I wanted my passenger to try and find somewhere up ahead for us to eat (in the country with no decent cell data connection). I ended up having to pull off the highway and pull over just to find a nearby restaurant... not impressed.
Same with Lexus. They have blocked input to the Nav system if the car is not in Park. So now it's just a nice screen to show where you are since the input in vehicles kinda sucks anyway compared to dedicated GPS or phones.
No. It would be similar to allowing restaurants to refuse to serve black customers.
This is not about business. It is about the personal beliefs and prejudices of the person owning that business. Those beliefs are not the same as business.
Being black and homosexually active are not the same thing at all. Stop trying to get on that bandwagon of "me too". Race you can do nothing about. Your choice of who or what you have sex with in private is entirely elective. Oh, but I touched that wire that says you can't put private issues back into being private. Since when did flaunting how you get off become proper public discourse? Because that's the essence of what is being said when someone comes out. Props to those like Tim Cook and other celebrities who say it's none of your business. But can't say that here without being anonymous, no siree.
If you claim "it can just happen" you don't end up in the same with something unexplained, but you basically just made an anti-thesis for everything we know about physics.
As I said, it's a great thinking exercise if nothing else.
But since we can not prove either side correct, it's wrong to claim either side is incorrect. Not only do the theists hate that fact, but atheists do as well.
Careful with that. I'm sure you'll get posters commenting that Krauss and others have "proved" you can get something from nothing. Though their "nothing" is quite different than what most people would consider nothing.
Yup, and as a consequence, Boeing just lost a 5 billion Dollar Brazillian aircraft order to the Swede SAAB.
Well, that's what the articles say anyway. But if the reality is that they just chose the cheapest, best jet then this still makes for good headlines and pushes harder against the NSA to reform so either way it's good.
Is not your library if the vendor can take it from you. You didn't buy, just got a limited permission to play it while the real owner is in good mood, and in their own terms.
This is why I don't "buy" videos from online streaming companies like Vudu or Amazon or iTunes. I either rent it for a small amount (usually Redbox these days) or for the select few I buy the disc so I can watch it anytime or media shift it to whatever format/device of the year it needs to be on.
