omg almost everything is illegal these days, people are getting way to scared/paranoid, people are trying to get rid of anything remotely bad and that doesn't agree with their own values. Seroiusly. Here in MN we now have a 75 cent state tax on each pack of cigs sold. I really feel bad for that people that like smoking, it's a tax that supposedly makes up for the cost in health care smokers cost the system(no I don't smoke). People can get in trouble for their words, and expressing themselves, Freedom of speech has been lost. I just got kicked out of school for the last two months of school for things that I said and the way I expressed myself(and i've never been in a fight in my life), you can no longer joke that "you're gonna kill that person", even as a joke, they hand out suspensions for things like that now, because just because your not threatning that person it's directed to, but to the other people that it may have tramatized by hearing it(I was homeschooled the rest of the year), I know that I was in school, but whatever happened to that one ruling a judge made that stated: "Civil liberties do not stop at the schoolyard gates" /END RANT.

I disagree with people that think that age has everthing to do with everything, I believe that it should be how mature the kid is, but since the government can't know for a fact how mature everyone is, they just put ages on everything. BTW here in MN we have that cellphone law too starting jan 1st

I think the law is that it's legal to talk on the phone in those states, youre just required to have a cordless/headset? Something to that extent, but I may be wrong...

And I agree, paranoid tards, but some things should be illegal...like ... I dunno, buying Sony products other than HUs?

I think ignorance should also be banned.

While most jerkoffs that talk on a cell phone while driving deserve to have a hot piece of lead reamed up their *** for being a danger to society (that's "hyperbole" for those of you less-astute readers), I don't think there should be a law against it. After all, I can think of situations where it might be necessary to be talking on a cell phone while driving. It's a reactionary law.

Also, it could be too easily extended to other things - outlawing two-way radio use while mobile? Although if states tried to legislate amateur radio use, there's something called "federal preemption" that takes care of that //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

well, if it's worth anything, i almost got hit by this one girl once who was not only talking on her cell phone, but smoking a cigarette too! she was holding her cancer stick in the hand that was steering. that's why these stupid laws pop up

car accidents are the #1 cause of death for teens, so age does have something to do with it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif i think age is a good gauge of experience, especially when it comes to driving.
