Comment on SF voters to decide on circumcision ban in November by Freiheit

Freiheit — Sun, 03 Mar 2013 20:56:23 +0000

I’m from Germany. It’s only legal here if your parents are Jewish or Muslim(because we try to get along with everyone, even if they are stupid). Otherwise, the doctor looses his medical license and gets 3-5 years jail time(can be out in 1 if good behavior), the parents pay a fine and get probation and the child is taken away by social services and put in a family that will do him no harm.

Comment on Red MUNI-only lanes coming to Church Street by Jamey Frank

Are you people OUT OF YOUR MINDS?!
This is another solution in search of a problem, which is now being created. I live on the 300 block of Church Street, and now his has really gotten personal, and I’m sick and tired of the Nanny mentality that we should be PUNISHED out of cars.
Guys, I take transit ever time I can, but sometime I’m sorry but I have to drive. Why are you making life so painful for us longtime San Francisco residents?
I’m going to start a campaign to:
• Sue the city for smog-causing traffic jams, created by lane closures city wide
• In crease bike traffic control officers to enforce dangerous cyclists
• Abolish the SFMTA and make it an elected office
• Establish a take-one/make-one parking space law.
This is not Europe. Tyrannical Victims of San Francisco cannot continue to ruin the lives of all of us by creating traffic jams, but offering no improvements to infrastructure or quality of life.
I’M DISGUSTED.

Comment on Walmart strikers protest low wages, working conditions on Black Friday by Andrew Allison

Give us a break! There was negligible response to this all-out effort on the part of organized labor to capitalize on “grey Thursday”, and WalMart pays more, and provides better benefits, than the typical supermarket.

Anyone who leaves that bag visible in their car in any urban area deserves to have it stolen.

Comment on San Francisco supervisors to vote on nudity ban Tuesday by George Williams

George Williams — Mon, 19 Nov 2012 14:50:17 +0000

Nudity unto itself is not a problem. If other things which violate other laws are evident, rape, etc., then arrest and prosecution are justified and required.

We spend too much time and money on needless things such as banning nudity. Go after the meaningful things.
