Absolutely. But it's a discussion among people, not government. CNN implying that the gov needs to come rescue us from our stupidity is the part I object to and I think that's where you're coming from.

a want, we are having a similar issue here in La. re: bus drivers. The La. Leg. passed a law that no bus can deliver a child to his home if it requires crossing the street. Even with the stop signs and blinkers on.
This will require all bus routes to double and gas to double. How did it pass the state leg? "Because if one child can be saved it is worth the cost."
Imagine being a 5th grader. The bus stops at your house. You cannot get off the bus because your house is to the left, not the right. Bus driver: "Sorry, little Johnny, we'll come back to your house in an hour or so when it's on the right."

That's just stupid. What kind of backwards arse busses do y'all have? Ours, in TN, have a long arm that extends about halfway into the other lane.

I would do it immediately, frick even calling the cops until after (they'll probably come faster if you tell them you just threw a brick in a car window). It would be no problem - in New Orleans there's always a brick or something like it within a couple arms' reach.

What? No! We have got to stop inviting gov to solve all of our problems.
Posted on 7/10/14 at 3:11 pm to Pinecone Repair
sometimes we need to have government step in and fix some problems. Can't see what they can do n this case.
Posted on 7/10/14 at 3:18 pm to JEAUXBLEAUX
Sure, but like this issue there are other " feel good" attempts to " fix" things that have unintended consequences that are just as bad or worse than what they meant to repair.

We should stop global warming so it doesn't get hot enough to heat up the inside of the car

You're right and its scary as shite - this way is just particularly horrible. If my kid's gonna die by accident or disease I'd at least want to be there with him.

Yeah. What do we do with that guy?
In my car the best I think would be the driver side window, because the kid is behind the passenger seat. (I've of course thought of this in case the keys ever got locked in).

My kid had a febrile seizure when he was 2 after I took him out of the bath tub and was drying him off. I thought he was dying. It was the scariest moment of my life. Not saying I wouldn't want to be there but frick that day if it ever comes.

Am I only the one who thinks it's perfectly legitimate to leave a sleeping baby, (who can't get out of the car seat) running with air conditioning on, locked car. While running into a store for a few minutes? My parents did that with me....I'm sure your parents did with you as well. (By you I mean everyone).
These laws are going to way over reach....imagine that.

Yes but my wife would yell at me if she found out. The problem is similar to what Tuba mentioned: what if something happens to you I the store? Robbery and you get shot? Or what about a car jacking and the guy now has your kid? Probably depends on the area you do this.

To be, or not to be? That is the question—
Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And, by opposing, end them? To die, to sleep—
No more—and by a sleep to say we end
The heartache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to—’tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wished! To die, to sleep.
To sleep, perchance to dream—ay, there’s the rub,
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause. There’s the respect
That makes calamity of so long life.

frick no you shouldn't do that. What if the car stalls? Not to mention - you're leaving an infant unattended in public - an infant goes for quite a bit of cash on the black market, you know? I know its a major pain in the butt but you should bring the kid inside.

My grandpa used to put his arm around me in lieu of a seatbelt - doesn't mean it was safe.

1. I was left in the car without a car seat. They didn't exist.
2. Our car had no air conditioning.
3. The car was not locked. We didn't even lock our house doors at night. I could have been abducted by a homo. But I wasn't.
4. My parents came back within a couple of minutes. I was fine. I survived even though I had no video games to amuse me. I just looked out the windows at the telephone poles.
The 50s were great. Freedom. Take care of your own damn self.

So the government is concerned about a being that can't take measures to protect itself?
Same thing with abortion. The pro-abortion people say that a clump of cells or a fetus that can't survive on its own outside the womb is a parasite and a woman should have the right to abort it.
It's sorta like to me that once a baby is actually out of the womb, put it in the woods and if it can survive then it lives. A "newborn" could not survive without assistance so what makes it so different than a fetus. It's just getting assistance from the mother while in the womb.
