thats making you play a find my picture and count, and the same time count how many times you are hearing the word magic.
try counting, and listening to someone shout random numbers, not exactly fun.
let me give you a counter example, why hands free cell use should be allowed.
how many fatal school buss crashes are there a year, for the people on the buss or other drivers?
we have all ridden a school buss, people in the back are jumping, people are all talking, to the point that its an aggravating noise.
now how hard is it to hold a conversation with the person driving when you are both in the car?
if this passes and is enforced, ill start a grass roots campaign to make it illegal for cars to be designed for more than 1 person, as you are too distracted.
[citation][nom]afrubin[/nom]The point I believe he was making is that when we multi-task we do all the things we are doing in a FAR less efficient/effective manner. Driving well takes a lot of concentration, the moment you take away from it it causes deadly accidents. I am fine with this 'blanket decision' because people suck at driving as is. The more we do to limit people's distractions the better off we all are. Driving a car or not driving a car is a decision, but when it comes to doing something so dangerous (driving what could be a couple thousand pound death machine) there should be rules like this.[/citation]
driveing isnt a decision, at least when you dont live in a city, you want to go to work, its a 50~ mile drive, you want to go to the store, thats a 10 mile drive, school (collage) is about 20 miles from where i live.
driveing where i live isnt a choice.
and laws shouldn't be put into place for the worst drivers, they should only effect the competent.

im 24, so it doesnt effect me any more, thought i should point that out.
the government needs to stop babying us. now lets take drinking age as an example. in other countries its socialy acceptable to drink from a very young age, and they tend to be far more mature about it, but here, we baby people till they are 21 and than they do what? binge, and many typically drink like there is no tomorrow. instead of learning in a more controlled environment about drinking, at 21 they let you in buy what you want and if you drink to death, so what.
to me this just feels like more of the government wanting to babysit us.
