However following a law simply because it's a law rather than because it has genuine value and merit benefits no one.
I did say technically. I also said I agreed with both of you. There are laws that are ridiculous and since this is supposed to be a free nation, I don't follow them. There are other laws that EVERYONE breaks without even realizing it...why? Because it is probably a freaking ridiculous law.

The reason I mentioned "technically" having to follow the law is because there is obviously still the risk of getting in trouble. Even if someone agreed with me that that law is stupid, they could still argue it is dumb on my part to risk getting caught. Even people that don't follow the law have to appear as if they do. A cop won't let you go just for explaining you think the law is dumb. Then I argue that's where common sense comes in.

Ok this is my last post on the topic...resume bitching.

Oh, your little urine retribution method wouldn't work with me, Barnard, because if you urinated on the toilet seat and didn't clean up after yourself, then I'd just squat and never touch the seat with my derriere. So, *you'd* be the one sitting on your own piss, unless *you* cleaned it up.



My complaint for today: elementary school teachers giving kids candy for good behavior!!

I had just flossed and brushed my child's teeth after breakfast and dropped him off at his classroom this morning, when two minutes later I saw him pop something into his mouth that the teacher had placed on his desk. It turns out it was a piece of candy given to kids who had displayed good behavior during a field trip yesterday.

So, I went into the classroom and asked the teacher to make sure my child got a drink of water afterwards to rinse out his mouth, and I asked her not to give him candy again but instead use some other non-food method to reward good behavior, if they want to reward behavior.

As any dentist would say, you don't want kids eating candy (or any other snack that sticks to teeth and encourages bacterial growth) and then not brushing their teeth afterward. This isn't the Middle Ages. Schools should know this stuff!

I find it ironic that parents, who I think usually know that for dental and behavioral reasons it isn't good to give children candy as rewards for good behavior, must ask the EDUCATORS not to give candy to children.

I had a teacher who used to bribe students with cream filled donuts. I didn't even approve then, and I was 10 years old.

My ugly ass Skullcandy Headphones broke and now I'm just left with an incredibly uncomfortable pair of earbuds. Bought them a little over a year and a half ago and they're dead already. I miss the days when electronics actually had a shelf life of a few years.

Ah, yes, I own a few pairs of Skullcandy headphones. I've had this problem quite a bit. If your local electronics store permits, you can usually return them and get a new pair for free.

And yeah, they are kind of ugly. I currently have a pair of black and silver ones and they look completely goofy on me. Making headphones extra shiny or flashy really isn't impressing anyone.
