No, I would hardly say that they occupy my mind. Just because I'm not as pig fucking ignorant as you are does not mean I spend my spare time researching things like this, on the same hand me knowing the bare facts of a subject does no make me a authority on a subject like you seem to think you are.Jay wrote:

lol jay every single politician should read every single law?!? you do realize some common law and case statutes goes into 100's of pages? just for one precedent? and you want every single politician to read every single law? the 25,000 pages on tort law? you do realize reams of new case law and obiter dicta notes gets put out every single month, right? some bills are 1,000's of pages. shelves and shelves of divorce law and alimony rules? yeah jay this is a great idea. every politician should read every single law.
you do realize that people who can memorize the entire quran are considered special holy figures/scholars in islam, right? you do realize the entire law library of the US is so big that there's only about 6 locations in the country that house it all, right? you want every single politician to read and somehow 'take onboard' every single law? do you also expect them to walk on water and feed a few thousand?

Uzi, the premise behind that is that I feel that laws should be simple and make sense, not be thousand page tomes full of legalese. If you forced politicians to actually read every law on the books at the start of legislative sessions, they would be inclined to pare down, rather significantly, the rule of law that we all live under, yes? The laws on the books in the US could fill a large library. Why? Why is it necessary to produce tens of thousands of new laws every year? I want them to look backwards instead of looking forwards with grandiose new visions. Look back, see what worked, excise what didn't work, and go from there.Uzique The Lesser wrote:

I didn't mean it literally anyway. It was just my way of expressing the last two sentences above.

oh yes jay i agree, the law should be radically simplified and have any precise definition cut, just so politicians can read it and just so that it is easily digestible. thousands of years of custom in stare decisis and obiter dicta rulings should be cut, as so much legalese and wasteful verbiage, and a blunt and reduced version of the law should be used. this would speed up court rulings immensely, and would lead to far more fair judgements. yes jay i completely agree. let's cut back on all those smart intellectuals and their words. if it can't be said or made clear in a page, in bullet points, it's nonsense.
& why is it necessary to create 10,000's of new laws every year? jesus fuck you don't know a thing about the way a common law system works, do you? for a guy so against tyranny you sure do know fuck-all about why you have the system of law that you have.

Anyway, the industry will bitch about every quality control decision the government makes, then inflate the price beyond what is needed to compensate for increased costs. Yeah, my heart is really bleeding for those rich assholes.
Why? It's not like the oil industry is going to eat the added cost. It's going to come out of your wallet, not theirs. It effects you way more than them.unnamednewbie13 wrote:

Right, like I said, they'll bitch about it to try and get the public's sympathy, and then inflate their prices beyond what is required to compensate for increased operating costs. "Oh, the government is punishing YOU, the average citizen!"

actually the alternatives promoted in lieu of using loads of plastic bags is, as i've said, supermarket-branded canvas bags. they're a win/win for the corporation: induces some brand-loyalty/come-again factor, and gets rid of the plastic bag problem. i don't think anyone is carrying around their defrosting meat produce in the same plastic bag for a year.

I think what the public really wants is for their children to have short unhealthy lives and cheap petrol.
So we're agreed, time to put lead back in petrol?

Absolutely. And while we're at it, can we go back to the old style of red M&M's? Regulations are bad for mah freedums.

I forgot the "".
I'm not really sure who the two of you are mocking. I said in the first reply that I agreed with the regulation.
