Good job on the topic change. I forget what states have banned talking on cellphons while driving, does anyone want to supply that info? I would guess that the states that have banned that would have a lot of traffic in their cities. |

States don't have the power to ban cell phones on roads (other than the Interstates) I don't believe... that would be up to local townships.

All it does is cause people to disrespect the law, and has almost no positive benefits for society. If it's not a crime with a victim other than yourself, it's not a crime. Period. |

I didnt like the part when they had to make all the year birth, 1990 and above to get their permit/driver license at the age of 18. Even though I born in the year 1988. I thought 1990 and above HAVE TO get their driver license at 18 was a bad idea -_-. I miss the times when you have to be 16 to get driver license! I also hate that since Bush is a president...if you fail the WASL test, then you have to take this one class for 4 years. I say that sucks BAD! I think Washington State Law is worse for me... Sigh I thought wrong about Bush. Actually I didn't even like him at all and he's not giving any freedom to our land. He's trying to kill millions of people right now. So far more than thousands of people had died, now he's sending more soldiers to the Iraq War. The only reason I didn't like about John Kerry was that he wanted to make gay marriages legal. I didn't like the gay marriages part. If only, Kerry didnt mentioned "gay marriages" I would've pray for the best just for him. Sigh... I think we're all gona die in this world... just because of President Bush. Also he's not like close to his wife too. He's only giving himself the freedom and not the others. He's a selfish, mean, rude brat one... I hate everything about Bush except banning the gay marriage part. Sigh...President Bush made the law too stricted. all he want is STRICTED stuff. he's going to make the United States turn into North Korea. sigh...

We won't ever get over the fact of having laws over-done.
I mean- If some kid jumped into your back yard, and drown himself in your pool. You could get sued, even for not doing anything. It is possible though. I LOVE THE AMERICAN WAY! |

Well.. the American way, may be better in third world countries (What happened to second?), but not to anywhere else.
America is the only industrialized country without health care. That is why we are so sue-happy. So we can get money for something bad that might have happened. Even though we are stupid enough to sue McDonalds for making us fat. And somehow winning the case. Oh well... |

Junkfood and fatness is good every once in a while.
I just ate McDonalds today. i dont get fat. i'm extmreley skinny. --off topic-- well, yeah... sueing mcdonalds is a problem. fastfood resturants can cause good. because fat food is slightly good for your body. but i mean, if somebody goes there almost everyday then that is their problem. |

So what if it was the person's problem. They could sue, because they could.. and they got away with it.
I don't like the judicial system anymore. |

I think the laws now are too strict. I mean, why is tobacco and achohol legal, but other drugs aren't? Might as well let all drugs be legal then. Why are the laws so strict? I mean I thought this was a country of freedom.
