Should a 12 year old eating French fries on the Metro be a crime?

You really love activist judges don't you? This is an example of following a law. This only makes him more qualified because he is willing to enforce a law that he doesn't agree with.

1. Dred Scott - Horrendous activist decision that badly hurt America
2. Santa Clara County vs. Southern Pacific - Your piss and moan case. I could care less.
3. Bush vs. Gore - A case unnecessary at the time that really only assured Bush became President a month earlier.

[Jake]

I could care less about your pet case.

If the recounts were not ended, the electors would never have been appointed which would result in Gore receiving 267 EVs and Bush 244 EVs. Without a majority, the House would elect Bush President a month later in early January.

I'll echo MHS's and Nation's concerns about the Metro.

[Jake]

I believe it is a fine if you eat on the metro.

[Jake]

But let's just say that I've ridden on numerous German cities' subways and by far the filthiest are those in Cologne, where there are no garbage cans. (I'm not sure if eating on the train is actually illegal anywhere, or where exactly...such a rule is sure as hell not enforced anywhere in Germany though; and the rule on no alcohol consumption on the train is sometimes enforced but usually not.)

Garbage cans are unlikely to be installed on the Metro for the simple reason that they provide an excellent place to dump bombs. The simple "inconvenience" of not being able to munch on your Twix bar is worth not having another 3/11 or 7/7.

There used to be garbage cans inside Metro, but they were removed after 9/11.

Yep, I was fairly certain I'd seen them on there before 9/11. I was a bit younger then so I wasn't sure.
