Nanny/Police State: NYC Ban On Large Sugared Drinks...

[paulitician]

What thrown back?

No "worshipped" the Kennedys, Clintons, Pelosi or Gore.

Worship is a conservative thing. As are religious, ethnic and racial litmus tests.

Yeah, like you didn't support them all. Come on, now you're just straight up lying. But anyway, do you support this action or not? You're coming off as a torn & confused Socialist at this point. No one knows where you stand on this one.

Support is different from Worship.

Seriously..look it up.

Sometimes. Anyway, so do you support this action or not? Not really getting a straight answer from you.

I dont see the problem with it, America is full of fat asses and if the trend continues it'll be bad for us in all ways

How does ones fat ass have any affect on you whatsoever?

And before you answer....alcohol can led to an increase to helathcare costs as does smoking, bungee jumping, mountain climbing and nitrate laden foods such as hot dogs and sausages...

Sop again, exactly how will someone elses fat ass be an issue for you?

 

[Jarhead]

Because of the granularity.

Government shouldn't be in the business of telling shop owners what they can and can't sell. I'm all in favor of posting calories and warnings. But it's up to the consumer to make an informed choice. And not the government.

So if it was a ban on soft drinks that used powdered sugar or confectioners sugar, you would be OK with it?

Re-read the post.

Try again.

Lighten up....take a look at the laughing face and know a joke when you see one.

Yes, Big Brother always knows what's best for us. We must obey. Maybe they should be labelled 'Food Terrorists' and be detained under the NDAA? Man, what a mess.

Second thread on this.

What..now Conservatives are against "State Rights"?

Or are Conservatives against other Conservatives making a "Nanny State".

No, we're just pointing out how stupid you totalitarians are.

But you don't object to what you believe is the right of local governments to be totalitarian, do you?

How many times to I have to repeat the same thing?

No..I think it's a stupid idea.

Thanks for the straight answer. Your past replies seemed to be defending and opposing it at the same time. Thanks for the clarification. There might be hope for you after all.

Let me show you my fat ass..

Shit, I thought you were going to post a picture of Sallow...

I'd have to find a picture of a jackAss..

 

[NYcarbineer]

If you applaud and encourage this disgrace, you have no right to complain when Big Brother comes for you next. Hear that, all you Pro-Abortion and Pro-Gay Marriage folks? Socialists/Progressives really are a confused bunch. They really believe they can have it both ways.

You encourage it by supporting the right of state and local governments to do this sort of thing.

Tyranny of the minority is always easier, the smaller the population.

An obese America is good for America. Is that your position?

An obese Government is bad for American RIGHTS
Like you all don't want Government messing with abortion, we don't need government telling us what we can eat or drink..

Rigghhht.

High priest Algore the malignant doesn't call you to worship of Gaea in the global church of Anthropogenic Global Warming or anything.....

Leftists are the most religious people in the nation, even more fanatical than Muslims, though thankfully less violent.

 

[Uncensored2008]

But you don't object to what you believe is the right of local governments to be totalitarian, do you?

Cities have the right to pass laws. The citizens of those cities have the right to vote the morons who pass those laws out of office. I can point and laugh, but the people of New York have the right to rule themselves, even if they choose a petty totalitarian to do it.

Freedom, it's a concept you folks on the left simply can't get a grip on.

 

[NoNukes]

So what is legal in NYC anymore?

You can order anything you want over the phone and have it delivered.

Interesting that right wingers get so worked up over not being able to buy a large sugary drink when there are so many more pressing problems in the world. Not that childhood obesity is not a huge problem.

 

[NoNukes]

I agree that the size of soft drinks is out of control, that is why I order small sizes, and that is IF I order the soft drink, usually I like water.
Funny how I, without the help of government, control what I eat and drink.

Unfortunately, many children do not have your willpower and their parents do not give a shit.

Say sparky, can you point to a time when Americans lived longer, healthier lives?

 

[NoNukes]

You know, it is funny. In the 70's you used to see people standing outside bars in New York smoking dope, because you were not allowed to smoke it in most bars. Now I see people standing outside of bars smoking tobacco. My, how times have changed.

 

[BlindBoo]

It's interesting how many on the Left will preach all day about the merits of legalizing Drugs, while at the same time supporting these types of Nanny/Police State absurdities. It's hard to find honest & consistent people on issues like this.

The WoD is a Federal Government issue. This stupidity is New York City. Frankly this liberal opposes the new NY city ban on sugery drinks and the WoD.

First, this is local

Second, no one is telling you you cannot eat or drink it.

I dont understand the problem here. Take govt out of the picture and I still think that America has an obesity problem that will cause America problems down the line. If you have anything to the contrary Id love to hear it. Yelling "freedom" isnt an answer or solution to this problem.
