So your owner there... he wants 200 10 pound bags, good... good...easy enough...

How many ounces is that? Tons?

It's a stupid system which is held onto simply because it's what we're used to. (and yes, it's easy to google the answer, but I could give you the kilogram converstions faster then you could type it)

Are... you honestly bringing the founding fathers in as a source for why you shouldn't have to wear a seatbelt?

get off your soap box, put the bloody belt on, and grow up. You're in a moving object traveling at what most living things would consiter crazy speeds, with a statistically high risk of that crazy speed being stopped abruptly. It takes you two seconds, quit whining and wear the damn thing.

Except for the fact that people continue to not wear seatbelts, no matter what the law says. Laws don't make people do something.

Keep giving them tickets. Call it an idiot tax. If we're somehow allowed to add a tax to smoking because it's bad for you, then why the hell can't we have a "Tax" for not wearing your belt.

Wear the damn thing... ffs people get up in arms about such stupid crap.

Here's an easier to read version:

Obviously this will protect familys the world around. Remember, the further into the closet you can push such issues, the less likely it will be that someone will do behave that way! I mean if we can just hide the fact that rape is possible, people won't realise it. And we make it a taboo thing, that will help. Remember, in America we focus on our familys, and ensure delicate children aren't shown this filth, or depicted in it! And remember, pretending there isn't a problem and hating ourself for it has a great track record! Ted Haggard told me so. (2)

Oh crap... well.. reality is here to crap on my parade again. I hate when that happens. The United States has the world's highest rape rate of the countries that publish such statistics. And before you shout the population difference, I'm saying PerCapita, not total rapes. The US is about 18 times higher than Japan. In 100,000 women, 33 will be raped in America, less then 2 in Japan.

Tagging "Save the Children" on to your reasons to want to ban something which offends you makes you a horrible person. Grow up and realise everyones got some odd fetish, desire, or drive. Dealing with it responsibly, rather then letting it fester, is a sign of a mature person. I'd rather someone masterbate to drawings and games, regardless if it's a rape fetish or child fetish, then try to act out such desires.

show your work:

(2) google: "anti-gay preacher male prostitute" for several results, Ted Haggard was just the most well known case, there are many more
