Sure this will spark some interest! Looking forward to some of the post here =)

Sure I'll get flamed for this but here goes. This is absolutely ridiculous and par for the course in California. Go ahead California, let some one else (government) make every decision for you. Reminds me of Berkley outlawing toys sold from happy meals, parents can't be trusted in California to feed their children right apparently or according to government.

I'd love to argue with you, but I can't on this. This is completely one-sided, politically motivated and illogical. It will be law in not time. What a bunch of idiots.
 
what do you expect that is trying to make it illegal to circumcise anyone under the age of 18....

Edit: hmmm that was supposed to have said what do you expect from the city that is..... dang fingers!

Honestly I no longer have expectations for that state other than secession. Then they can do what ever the heck they want with out the rest of us having to eventually pay for it.
 
Great, we'll be reading in the news how someone got caught smuggling a Goldfish.......ummm, well, no comment.:unsure:
 
Destined to die huh? Like all the kittens in this pillow case? That doesn't really make for great reasoning. Similar to the assumption that these "impulse buy pets" are destined to end up in shelters.

***DISCLAIMER***
No kittens were harmed while writing this post
 
Well, Is the city going to pay the pet store owners for the capital invested into a business? If you dropped thousands into building a store and then the city effectively puts you out of business, they should be liable for the loss. Of course, they will/would not pay.
 
Like so many things, people tend to treat this as a 'good or bad' issue.

Some people are capable of acting responsibly, while many are not. -JMHO

So the goverment should legislate decisions for everyone based on the bad?
Stuff like this reminds me the movie Demolition Man, Sex, swearing, smoking, salt....... is bad for you and there for deemed illegal.
 
I'm not saying that.

There are provocations on both sides.

FWIW- I am politically conservative/small government; and no, government has no place in this.

One of my pet peeves is government trying to legislate common sense and good judgement.

That being said, we all know some people just shouldn't do many things, beyond trying to control themselves.

I don't think it should be outlawed. Doctors need to change perspective based on the times and educate the parents. Most parents just do it because they believe based on Doctors, experience and Jews that it is standard practice.

Edit: Can those hideous fat things even survive in the wild anymore?
 
Goldfish or doctors?

I don't think your standard fancy goldfish would have a chance in the wild. Comets and shubunkins, sure, but the fat bodied ones would waggle up to a predator and ask it for some pellets.
 
I think the problem is that they have a "good" desired result but are going about it in the wrong way. The highest speed limit in American that I am aware of 80 MPH and that's only in Texas and Utah, for the rest of us 70 or maybe 75. And inside 285, it 55. But the government doesn't require that car manufacturers make vehicles only capable of obtaining these speeds. We wouldn't stand for that. The idea is that if you want responsible behavior, you institute penalties or rewards to achieve the desired results. I pay one or two speeding tickets a year. It's the cost of my desire to operate outside of what the general public has deemed responsible behavior. That being said, I'd prefer that the government stay out of my life as much as possible. It is our responsibility as a community to promote "proper practice" and not tell other people what to do.

I don't think your standard doctor would survive in the wild either.
