bloomberg is an idiot - ban 44oz sodas

[erdawiro]

If you want some more center-left or hard left, I know a few good ones that will discuss things intelligently...

Center-Left: joseephus, jterrell, wileedog, SultanOfSix (he is Muslim and I learned a lot from him)
Left: silverbear, Big Dakota, arglebargle, CowboyDan, Wheat (Redskins fan but a good guy)
Hard Left: Sasquatch, Superpunk, jwitten82

Danny White would be a good one to invite as well as ScipioCowboy...

I have to wonder where I fall.

If New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg has his way, you won't be gulping down any 44-ounce Cokes at any of the Big Apple's eateries after March 2013.

Time to impeach him, no doubt about it... unless, of course, diet soft drinks are exempted (I'm a diabetic)...

It will be interesting to see if Bloomberg has the juice (joke intended) to make this happen...

I want to ban government figures from opening their filthy gobs.

There's a petition I'll sign...

[SilverBear]

"Sales of sweetened drinks larger than 16 ounces would still be permitted in supermarkets and convenience stores, according to the reports, including one from CNN affiliate NY1.

Bloomberg's ban would not apply to diet drinks,

And just like that, my question was answered... you guys are good...

arizona canned tea: 144 (48 oz) (what WAS trayvon thinking??)

Nothing-- he was stoned...

[SilverBear]

Waitaminute, do we want to spice things up or shit things up?

Well, you guys invited ME, so I'd say you have the answer...

[SilverBear]

He just replied that he is heading over.... I warned him it can be a little rough here from time to time.

Oh, I hope so...

[SilverBear]

sounds good bud. I have been trying to bit a bit more restrained so some of the lefties will stick around, but sometimes it is hard to do.

I understand, self-control is not a popular concept on the right...

i also think you'll find i'm not as "left leaning" as you might think.

To a hard-core righty, unless you're to the right of Attila the Hun you're a "liberal"... it's that whole black and white, no shades of gray, us against them thing...

And don't forget, if you're not right-leaning, you hate America...

my "killer cloud" comment was in response to doomsday saying this, "Fact is if I choose to drink a large drink that is my business not yours not anyone.

One of the common side effects of diabetes is you're always thirsty... so this proposed law can be seen as discriminating against us diabetics...

Sure am glad I plan on never visiting Noo Yawk again... once when I was 16 was more than enough, thank you; I can't imagine it's gotten any better over the last 40-odd years... I've always said that if the good Lord wanted to give the world an enema, Noo Yawk's where he'd stick the nozzle...

I make my own choices this is part of being free people to make your own choices and to live with the consequences good or bad of the choices you made."

I guess to a certain extent, I'm a libertarian too... not enough to support that loon Ron Paul, though...
