Was watching the news and they were talking about in New York that it is legal to give high school kids the " morning after" pill without their parents permission. But yet they just " outlawed " the "Big Gulp" drinks ( actually I think anything over 16 oz). So can you get the 16 oz drink and then keep going back for free refills?
I mean what are they thinking?

Personal responsibility is illegal. 
Teen sex is good.
Teen pregnancy is bad.  (It is bad, but decisions have already been made that has led to this).
Big soda's are bad.
16 oz. are good.
The parents can't make good decisions for themselves or their kids so why ask them?  But then again the people making the rules can't make good decisions either.

I'm disappointed in California for not coming up with this first.  (maybe they did)?

Is this considered bad or good policy by the majority of Americans?

The downhill slide continues, (I wonder how many see this as moving forward).

The news said that if one is anti abortion they should be for the morning after pill (because hey if we kill the pregnancy we won't have to abort the problem later).  Kids not having sex doesn't seem to be an option?

Government needs to keep finding things to tell us what we can and can't do.

By default, they will keep going until another revolution.

Of course the government keeps track of key words to monitor when this might happen

One of the reasons they continually push for outlawing projectile pipes.

Delayed gratification should be outlawed as a philosophy.

Much better to kill us ambassadors and embrace the personality cult with flags that look like bloody handprints of the ambassador.

In Canada you can abort a baby right up to 9 months. The only other two countries that allow this is North Korea and China.  Government refuses to change the law, because they want to get re-elected.  :mad:

The real problem is that they aren't thinking in most of these cases. I really start to question if some of these bureaucrats are so far removed from the reality of the real world that they have lost any concept of what common sense is.  A few weeks ago, our great Canadian government decreed that it was no longer acceptable for prison guards to wear their protective vests when they were searching prisoners and their cells for weapons. The reason they said this was decided was because they thought it created too much seperation between the prisoners and the guards. I really thought these people were placed in jail to seperate them from the rest of society. If you use their logic, one could also make a good arguement for removing the bars on the prison cells because it seperates the prisoners from the guards. The prison guards went on strike over this decision and after several days of negotiations, the government finally reversed their decision. As a result of this strike, one prisoner died from  drug overdose and several more had to be hospitalized for drug ovedoses. From what I heard on the news, they said that drugs flowed freely into the prisons during this strike. As far as I am concerned, the guards should have stayed off the job a few more days and we might have got rid of a bunch more of society's scum. How does a logical thinking person make any sense out of stupidity like this? Stupid... stupid... stupid!!

In the situation of giving the "morning after" pill out on a free basis, I expect they might be trying to eliminate unwanted teen pregnancies. They basically are admitting this is an easier solution than trying to educate teens about what can happen when they have unprotected sex. I think it also sends the wrong message to teens even though what they are trying to do may have a marginal amount of merit.  As for banning Big Gulps at school, maybe they could start to hand out free weed or crack, so that the kids don't feel they are being hard done by. Sorry if I sound like a skeptic, but I am really thinking we have a bunch of mush brained idiots running the zoo.

The banning of the Big Gulp isn't in the schools, it's anywhere in the city.
