Not content with Happy Meals, San Fran to now ban....

I say let them do whatever they want.

In exchange, don't make the rest of us pay for their decisions.

If somebody wants to live in a city devoid of McDonald's and circumcised penii, let them. I would rather live in a fiscally responsible, conservative city like Indianapolis, so I do. Again, don't make me pay for your policies, and you don't have to pay for ours.

How do you pay for San Francisco's policies now?

Many people are choosing to skip out on the San Francisco "experience" and are opting for Walnut Creek.

(By "experience" I mean getting accosted by homeless and having the streets smell like urine)

I don't know what that has to do with my post, but clearly the market suggests there is more demand for San Francisco real estate than suburban real estate.

When their city goes bankrupt, they'll have to get bailed out by the state. If you haven't noticed, the state is not in a very good position to do that, and will have to get bailed out by the Feds (using the rest of ours' money).

If they want to enact policies that drive out productive businesses and citizens and attract worthless dirty hippies, they'll suffer financially. This is a fact.

Not necessarily. What you elude to (residential real estate prices) could just as easily be defined by the glut of "suburban" real estate available versus the paucity of San Francisco real estate available.

In reality it's an analog continuum and not a digital market, but whatever.

I don't see how circumcision laws and happy meal bans are going to put San Francisco at risk for bankruptcy. It's massive employee pay and benefits are a much bigger threat, but SF has a healthy tax base.

I think think these SF policies are a waste of time but some of these concerns you guys are having are a bit ridiculous. Religious freedom is a better argument.
 
Do you live in SF?

If no, why do you care beyond trying to drink a cup of rage? It's their local government that is elected by the people of that city that are putting the rules in place. They aren't going to be forcing those rules on people not living in SF...

I was just getting ready to type all this.

I thought neocons were all about local governments being able to govern locally? Or is that only when it involves crosses and the 10 commandments?

I do live in SF and I think this new ban and the McDonalds toy ban is part of the cycle of stupid that clouds this city. We have a 500 million dollar budget deficit but stupid shit like this seems to be the top of the priority of the board of stupidvisors in SF.

Anyways where were you when the DailyShow completely mocked one of our supervisors for their idiotic stance on the Mc D's toy ban? I hope you wrote them a stern letter explaining your outrage at the highlighting of that policy since you now feel its your job to tell other people how or what they should believe or think.

I think it requires a bit more to write a letter to the daily show then to banter back and forth on these forums.

On that token though since you live in SanFran why didn't you organize something to stop this from happening?

Because I have a job and having to keep up with every professional activist group with an agenda in this city or a BOS member with a stupid idea would be a full time job.

So clearly this issue isnt important enough to you to do something about it. Next.

Your right it isn't important enough for me to miss work but I can sure make a comment about it just like you do about Texas school boards.

Edit: If you just want to stifle conversation about shit you only agree with just be honest about it and tell people to shut up because they have no right to make a comment about issue you approve but have no say in whatsoever.

I dont see a comment about a texas school board. I see me making a comment about how I would vote where I live. Although I admit I must have been on a ton of coffee when I wrote that. Although there is something to be said for keeping the peasant classes down. They are easier to control this way.

I guess San Francisco has nothing better to spend its time on than telling others how to live. Keep your hands off my foreskin you fascists!

The link doesn't work so I googled it and if you read the stories you find that... Umm... SF isn't trying to ban circumcision. There is ONE nutjob trying to get enough signatures to put the issue up for a vote in the next election. In two months he has only managed to collect about 3500 sigs... he still has another 3500+/- to go... in a city with millions of people. If you can't get 7100+ people in a city the size of SF to sign a petition to get something on the ballot in two months...

But yeah... this isn't anything pending before the city council.

The comment was made in relation to the thread discussion the school board. You made you voiced your opinion in the thread just as others are doing so here and you certainly didn't have the same level of indignation about others remarks on that issue as you are demonstrating here.

Look at all these strawmen. Just admit that you want to cry on the internet but dont actually want to take action. It's OK. I would rather make money then stop any number of issues.

There is that angry indignation again. Maybe if you type in caps you can scare enough people from posting in this thread.
