Just heard this on the radio news: Some association for the blind is upset that the new hybrid cars don't make enough noise and pose a danger to blind people who can't hear them.

QUOTE (Testm0nkey @ Oct 2 2007, 06:49 PM)  and an aspect of learning social skills is that making out in public isnt acceptable in most places True. This is why they need to differentiate between appropriate and inappropriate affectionate behavior rather than banning all such behavior outright. -------------------- |

they have to do what works and if what they have isnt working rules get stricter.
personally, physical touching/sex should be taught by parents not modeled by a school administration -------------------- Little monkeys making money

They're now banning behavior that is perfectly socially acceptable -- where's the sense in that? I agree that guidelines on what's appropriate and not should be taught by parents, but schools have a responsibility to curb behavior that's disruptive, whether it's fighting in the halls, screaming, throwing food, or getting jiggy with it in the supply closet. -------------------- |

In 1999, I was about a foot away from backing over a little girl who was playing behind my car in the driveway. I checked my mirrors and even turned around like you do, but there was no way to see her on that big wheel. I was petrified at what almost happened and it was one of the worst feelings I've ever felt.
I want to sue that bitch for the emotional damage it has caused me. |

The only solution to this is: Custom Celebrity Cartones. Hookup your IPod to your Prius and your T.I. cartone will mimic the sound of a car engine.
