    Default Yet another reason to go no where near NYC

    So King of the city Bloomberg plans to ban any sugary drink over 16 ounces. No more Venti Starbucks, no more Big Gulps.

    Of course if you think about it, this is pure genius. People will be forced to buy 2 smaller drinks at a significantly greater cost.

    I'm sure all the folks who questioned the .gov banning anything, in tinelements smoking post, will still doubt IT CAN HAPPEN anywhere ANYTIME.

    I hear prostitution and murder is still illegal in nyc too.

    It's been a few years, but 10th Ave, right outside the DEA's building, when the sun went down, the girls (by appearance) started walking. It was part of the ambiance.

    I love going to NYC. I couldn't live there. I can't afford the taxes

    I liked the right before sunrise shift change ones. they'd offer you and the guys $5 bj's as an end of night comp. Nothing like a freshly rinsed and tooth brushed "lady" wanting to lessen your wallet by a few bucks. bad enough the bridge cost $3. to go home. F%^&k everyone want's your money in the Bad Apple.

    I just cant figure out how these things get on the books being so unconstitutional..............

    Like Cali and the the limiting the number of fast food places in a specific area to help not let people get so fat.

    I believe in "Natural Consequences" goberment needs to stop telling people what to do, how to live, and think.

Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles. --Jeff Cooper"

    if you want to lower healthcare costs caused by fat people then get the government out of healthcare like it should be anyway. the answer is not regulations!! when are people going to learn!?

    in private healthcare the solution would be if you are a fat ass then you pay more for healthcare... fat person then learns i should lose weight to save money

    people have to have personal resposibility to be free people

    if we are going to ban sugary yummy drinks cuz some people drink too much of it in addition to an unhealthy diet and become fat then maybe at the same time we should ban all ipads, laptops, computers, tvs, xbox, nintendo, playstations. after all these promote stationary lifestyles.

    ridiculous
    I think this sentiment was reflected by CLUBLIGHT & AAhorn as well.

    Goberment needs to stop being surrogate mother and go back to what it was suppose to do................ RESISTANCE IS NOT FUTILE!!!
