    Watch out. The green ones aren't ripe yet.


    Unless it's lime-flavored, in which case, dive in!

    @Ninja for hire: I can see it now: "The Fiesta is absolutely the last car that should be jumped over rail crossings or driven at high speeds across a pasture in the dark, with the lights off. Ford really has a hugely uncompetetive car on their hands here."

    Squeeze Green? Is that the color of the one that Top Gear reviewed in S12? Do you have 50 pence? Will you drive it through a mall for us? What types of smoke grenades fit in the cupholders?

    I think texting while driving is extremely dumb.


    However, I don't see how this law would be remotely enforceable or effective.


    We don't need a law to solve every problem in society.

    This is why I identify with libertarians. Less government is better, because, as has been proven time and again, its solutions are so well thought out and executed.


    Government should protect our borders and deliver the mail...and we're not sure about the mail.

    @I may have a 35 mile commute with my beater Mercedes: I'm that way in a social sense, but I'm big on infrastructure and incentives to help "steer" economics towards more sustainable and less boom/bust-y behavior.


    So: borders, mail, highways, bridges, dams, and well-executed industry regulation.


    But not the regulation of specific individual behaviors because they're a bad idea.

    @Mad_Science: THANK YOU, Mr. Science, for being the voice of reason once again. I knew I could count on you.


    This is why I like having the RCMP up here. Many laws are written in consultation with them, and when laws like this come up, they remind the morons writing them that it is patently unenforceable, therefore moot and toothless, therefore there's no fucking reason to waste our goddamn time writing it.


    I don't text when I drive, not because I'm philosophically opposed to it, but because it's too fucking hard.

    This is what is wrong with government. There are probably some laws against distracted driving that would cover this, but some idiot politician wants to look like they are actually doing something so they do this. Just another example of fail.

    Okay, first of all, I'm 23 and in IT, so I'm not some old, out of touch, neophyte... but could someone please explain to me the draw behind text messaging.


    To send a text, you have to have a cell phone, for your friend to receive said text, they have to have a cell phone... you both have phones, fucking call them!

    @something_unique_and_descripti...: Well, I text someone when I have nothing to talk about, and just want to say Hi. It basically eliminates those long awkward silences, and allows you to BS. I think that it should be outlawed will driving though.

    @something_unique_and_descripti...:

    Texting "meet me at pravda at 10.30" is a lot easier than

    - Hello?

    - Hey, what's goin' on, pookie?

    - Oh, nothing, just hangin' out, gettin' mah jerk on...

    - Right on, man! Me too!

    - Aren't you at work?!

    - Sure! I put the "back in 10 minutes" sign up!

    - ...Alright.

    - So, anyway, I'm heading down to Pravda for a couple drinks tonight. You wanna join?

    - Yeah, maybe if you take a shower first.

    - C'mon, man, of course.

    - Alright. 10:30?

    - Yeah. See you there.

    - Later, brah.


    Don't hear what you don't want to hear--send a text.
