I swear.. Does this guy just watch the news and say "hey, I think I should do something about this texting and driving I've been hearing about." what a douche.

How about trying to pass a law keeping women from doing their makeup in their rear view mirror, or stop people from eating micky D's while driving. I fully understand that it is dangerous to text/talk while driving, and sure if you want to keep government property/employees from doing it by all means go ahead. But truck drivers, really?

These guys stay up for hours on end often spending prolonged periods of time away from their familys and you want to keep them from talking to their loved ones, or from falling asleep?

If you're going to keep people from talking while drivi...

Perhaps he should ban 5th graders from posting to message boards when they are supposed to be in school.

Of course it is different.

Remember when the FAUX NEWZ kunckle draggers were outraged when Bush was compared to Hitler and called a Facist?

I guess it is OK for those Faux douchebags to compare Obama to Hitler though.

If you are a parent, then I feel sorry for your children. Mommy &/or Daddy do not provide their offspring with many environmental advantages or positive role models in regards to intellectual success, do they? Just look at the degenerate structure & content of your post. An outside education at least gives your children a chance at developing a more enlightened world view and a more articulate voice than what you offer th...

The venue does not matter -- be it a board meeting or an Internet forum -- you represent yourself. If you are going to make halfwitted assertions, then I am going to debunk them & you.

And, congratulations, you "have actually been through college." Well, it must not have been a very rigorous college, and/or ...

Those who are so up in arms over President Obama's momentary speech to schoolchildren are oft the same parents who are brainwashing & coercing their children day by day, year after year to follow the parents' silly, fantasy religions. "Now, that's messed up!"

What part of my post implies that I'm in 5th grade? Judging by your other post I'd say that that you're one of those types who can't stand it when people voice their opinion and it doesn't coincide with what you believe. Which puts you up there with the big O man, douche.

Does it bother you that a multiracial man who is more intelligent, educated, and accomplished than are you is President? Could it be that Barack Obama has a more knowledgeable, reasoned position on some issues than you do?

Interesting that it always comes back to race... that is all you have? Pull the race card... Nice.

And why on earth would it bother someone if the president of the United States is more intelligent, accomplished and educated than them? Think about what you just said...

technically if Bush really wanted to stay president he could have postponed the election by calling a measure of National Security... and to be honest in my opinion it would have been better than having a lying fraud (wasn't even born here) as "president"

There is no god, murmermer. Everything you stand for is built upon fantasy. Show me that I am wrong. Since you do not or cannot prove that I am wrong by providing substantive, credible evidence to the contrary, then that proves that I am right. Yes, it is a fact: there is no god.

This is a logical fallacy that credulously asserts that what is not proven false must be true (or vice versa), and it is called argumentum ad ignorantiam -- appeal to ignorance. Such is a logically & poetically perfect match for you, murmermer, as well as the "birther" movement in general.

Dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb...

Show me where the very first living cell came from, I have yet to see science prove a nucleus can form inside a cell from acid water and electricity. Maybe aliens dropped off the first cell? Then prove aliens and where they came from. Or they were seeded from astroids... Then show me where those astroids came from. A society without religion is a society with no code of ethics. It takes more faith to deny all the evidence than it does to admit inteligent design.

That's odd, because if you die in an accident from someone texting/talking while driving your never going to get home to get to see your family and will be 'asleep' forever.

You don't even have to die to have your life seriously and profoundly affected in such an accident.

It's about safety. These people are Federal employees.

States can and are making that decision themselves in regards to their citizens.

I totally agree with you all the way Captin, I also think the ban helps with the federal employees and families trying to sue the government due to death while on the job. It makes sense, if someone was injured while driving their work vehicle people are so sue happy now a days they have to protect their own butts.

So many opinions in such a little place will always result in name calling, insulting and simply put, down right stupid comments.

For example, I agree with some of what WiWavelength says. Then again, he seems like a atheist. Thats probably why the other half of what he says sounds like a faithless jerkoff.

Now now WiWavelength, before you come in here and "insult" me, I just wanna say; for someone who is so quick to call others on mistakes (grammar, spelling and the such), you need to practice what you preach.

No, my grammar was correct, thank you. Read my entire sentence again. And learn about independent & dependent clauses, as well as correct modification.
