we have uniforms at all schools here. it was really fucking expensive, but no complaints about quality. can't say i even thought about that sort of thing when i was at school. it seems to me with church folk that the 'style' will be plain but they'll always find ways to one up the jones' next door. christians are never really humble. they're always thanking god for their riches. and counting yet more.

- Way to go Florida! Banning access to the internet
they are really going to implement that draft document as a real blanket-enforced law? i highly doubt this. that's a lot of legit business owners. that literally makes no reasonable sense.

It's like reading out of stupidlaws.com. I don't think anybody seriously considers that Floridan law enforcement will go house to house to confiscate everyone's smartphone and PC, nor do I imagine it would be allowed to happen without rioting and federal intervention. But the shitty wording of the thing and its consequences are being used to try and garner public support to combat it, as shown here.
First... You visited Florida and didn't call? You bitch!Uzique The Lesser wrote:
seeing as i don't want to read a 22 page draft for some legislation pertaining to a niche leisure-time activity in a state i am likely never going to visit again... can you please add some more substance to your OP? i don't imagine many people are going to read that PDF, especially seeing as it is clearly still an early draft stage and hasn't been finalized yet.
how has an illegal slot machine ban ended up "banning access to the internet"? obviously the legal documents have to have an open-ended definition of what a 'slot machine' is, otherwise wily people will start devising slightly-different devices or systems that allows the activity to go on, unpunished. the wording of legal documents is normally quite abstract and formally vague. are you aware of the different methods of judicial interpretation? there are several 'laws' a legal official can use when appealing to legislation or statute. no interpretations of this document, or whatever clause you are talking about, is going to 'literally' ban all computers that can connect to the internet. in fact very few areas of law or statutory governance ever involve a strictly-legal interpretation of documents, normally it is the judges discretion, except in the extreme cases of child-porn or murder or some such offence where the application of law and tariffs for punishment are very rigorously set.
i hope you're not being this stupid?
Second and to the point... Worst case is there would be what the legislature calls a 'glitch bill'. These are written to fix unintended/unforeseen consequences of the initial legislation that was drafted and but the scope of was written too broadly. This story is mere hyperbole from the loosing side, even if their point is valid. Nothing to see here folks, move along.

I don't expect that either...this time. But if the government, be it state or federal, deteriorates further who knows.unnamednewbie13 wrote:
