"Arguing over mosquito laws"

I think the point he was trying to get at had nothing to do with mosquitoes per se. I think he was making a point that laws like these get put into action and never revoked, which is an honest critique.

Something that you agree with can still be wrong in certain aspects.

About the "laws" thing. Here in Kentucky, it's still illeagal to walk around with ice cream in you back pockets, because back in the day horse theives would do that to get the horse to follow them.

EDIT:
Yeah, blonde is better ;)
but redheads are the best ;D

That's funny, but I don't see a cop actually arresting or fining you for it. However, why would anybody put ice cream in their back pockets anyway? :-/

There are silly laws all over the world and most of them either don't interfere with sane behavior or wouldn't be enforced by many law enforcement officers.

I prefer brunettes like this shot of Michelle Branch:

Next is probably black hair like this shot of Michelle Branch (I'm too tired to think of different women ;D):

And I also like [brunette-]blond hair like Jennifer Aniston:

About the mosquito thing. People without natural resistance to a deadly disease should serve Darwin.

Yes Dustin is right. But my main point is that laws like these come
from the mind's of regular citizens. who then take it upon
themselves to prod the lawmakers into making it a law. Like
maybe they cut there grass down to 3 inches and there
neighbor cuts his to 5 inches. So they complain to the town
counsel that the neighborhood looks like crap with all the different
sized grass. So the town counsel makes it a law that everybody's
grass needs to be cut to 3 inches. Laws as stupid as this do
exist, and are enforced.

Also behind my property is a large mosquito infested pond that
has never been sprayed. I guess my tires were a bigger threat.

I think this time he is right, watch your prejudice!
Today there aren't many horse thieves left, and surely they wont use ice-creams to get the job done.
So why would anyone (today that the law is ridiculous) put their ice-cream in their back pocket? :P

Well, to steal horses. Other than that I can't think of a reason. It's so stupid, why repeal the law? ;)

Also, ralph, would you please stop hitting enter like that? It is very annoying, as your post ends up taking up like 1/5 of my screen, instead of the whole width.

I personally would have it sprayed, but only because mosquitos annoy me to hell when I'm trying to be outside.

That is an offensive stereotype. My friends at the ICPWA* will hear about this, I may even get Mr. Hotfudgetrousers to take up the cause in Washington!

What happend was I coppied some stuff off of sissorels forum and posted it on mine. I gave Him credit and never once said it was mine. He flipped and demanded I remove it, I replyed that if he had just asked nicely I would have. Then he went to my forum hoster and made up some crap about me taking his stuff and saying I was its author; needless to say my forum got removed. Then he chased my email thrue the web using google and got me baned from all my forums exept this one. THEN, he URL scanned my librairies internet and created somesort of stalker-like profile file on me. Lastly he threatend my internet and a lawsuite if I didn't basically cower before him. As you see I didn't have any choice. I was storing the text for my self so I had quick links to the rules and other stuff needed to RP in Sissorells forum.

Whats your view on this?

When the original author tells you to remove it, you don't "reply". You do it. It's his stuff. And next time you might want to ask first. If you had ended up stealing from a person (or a company) with some actual clout, the request might have come in the form of a court order. Sissorelle may well be some irrational jerk that flew off the handle, but you asked for it. :)
