Comment So how about... (Score 1) 160

when the baby is just born but still not breathing? Doctors usualy spank them to make their lungs work but, following your logic (not sure if twisted) it would not be murder to slam the baby against the floor as long as he didn't breath once? May I ask you how did you came about this conclusion?

Officials Sue Couple Who Removed Their Lawn 819

Hugh Pickens writes "The LA Times reports that Orange County officials are locked in a legal battle with a couple accused of violating city ordinances for replacing the grass on their lawn with wood chips and drought-tolerant plants, reducing their water usage from 299,221 gallons in 2007 to 58,348 gallons in 2009. The dispute began two years ago, when Quan and Angelina Ha tore out the grass in their front yard. In drought-plagued Southern California, the couple said, the lush grass had been soaking up tens of thousands of gallons of water — and hundreds of dollars — each year. 'We've got a newborn, so we want to start worrying about her future,' said Quan Ha, an information technology manager for Kelley Blue Book. But city officials told the Has they were violating several city laws that require that 40% of residential yards to be landscaped predominantly with live plants. Last summer, the couple tried to appease the city by building a fence around the yard and planting drought-tolerant greenery — lavender, rosemary, horsetail, and pittosporum, among others. But according to the city, their landscaping still did not comply with city standards. At the end of January, the Has received a letter saying they had been charged with a misdemeanor violation and must appear in court. The couple could face a maximum penalty of six months in jail and a $1,000 fine for their grass-free, eco-friendly landscaping scheme. 'It's just funny that we pay our taxes to the city and the city is now prosecuting us with our own money,' says Quan Ha."

Will those moron politicians also complain about tourist showing their picture if other people appear on them? Will they force tourist to delete their pictures after six month? This is what happen when you have a bunch of idiots feeling they have to do something and they end up doing worse than nothing.

To avoid avoiding to be modded down!? hahaha... OK, fair enough, I was assuming you had an account and that you would only go coward to avoid the mods.

But I use an account because I don't give a fuck about people moding me down just because they don't like my opinion or they disagree with it, having an account also makes some debates/flames less confusing and I get notifications of answers, besides it forces me to either hold my words, or apologize for them, giving me a sense of reponsability on what I say that I would otherwise avoid going coward, but I have problems with:

1- when for some misterious reason my Karma goes to ZERO without negative mods; it is either a bug or censorship.
2- when you get limited post right with bad Karma; it forced me to go coward and I hate it.

But hey, if you don't have an account and AC is the way you like it, respect and peace!

My coward friend, I sent a non coward complain to /. about the issue but to no avail, and I bash cowards for being so.

I participate in the system, despite its possible censorship event, because I can still place a NON coward protest in my signature... Otherwise the only choice left would be doing like you; sending anonymous cowardly posts to avoid being mod down. So enjoy your great Karma, you'd do great in politics.

That talk rubish in an anonymous cowardly fashion so that you never get moded down, you know, I'd rather freely express my opinions and be moded down than behave like a coward like you do.

Just in case it was you (Oh! Surprise) that moded me down this time with OFFTOPIC, just let you know, dear coward, that I just made a joke about GoDaddy so, it might be funny, it might be not, but funny or not is not OFFTOPIC.

Just in case you don't know, there is no mod down for "I disagree" or "I don't like you" and NO, OFFTOPIC is not a substitute.

And about the censorship and post history, obviously you didn't look a it. afther I made this post:

http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1522590&cid=30888708

my next post got moded UP 1 point and, all in a sudden, my Karma went from positive to BAD for NO reason.

So keep doing you ANONYMOUS COWARD things, you will never EVER get moded down.
