Commissioner responsible for Las Vegas wants to ban private cars from the Strip because gawping tourists cause massive traffic jams

On one hand, the Strip is just a traffic jam. Watching old movies or TV shows, pre-1980s, where they could actually drive down the Strip, you wish there was that old age.

On the other hand, totally unworkable and insane.


I believe this will eventually happen but it will take ten years to adjust the infrastructure so that there will be proper ingress and egress for people staying at the hotels.
At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent.

The difference between Libs reaction to Charlie Rose and Bill O is stunning
Both Bill O and Charlie Rose are sicko sexual predators
Libs like myself are against ALL sicko sexual predators. You practice that behavior, you have to go
yet
Conservatives still defend sicko sexual predators such as Bill O simply due to politics
Really sad
Many conservatives cannot condemn many sexual predator sickos simply due politics

Libs deal with reality, anybody can be a sexual predator
Some conservatives live in a fantasy world of only left leaning sexual predators.
LOL

Ed, you have made this same post so many times it is approaching trolling! Show me an example of a member condoning PROVEN or ADMITTED sexual offenses? Looks like Jeremy Piven has taken and passed a lie detector test. Should we have bashed him because he was accused? And you must know that paying off a settlement is NOT an admission of guilt. Let's get someone convicted and then bash him.

Why do you think I have him blocked?
I don't use the T word, but there isn't
a bigger one here.

It sucks though. Especially when they conceal the settlement on something.

If you're dealing with someone who is able to conceal several previous wrongdoings with settlements, you're thinking this person is okay because they have a clean record. How great is that?
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

Is it acceptable to sexually harass your spouse, or grope them?

If men can be charged for raping their wives, why not charge men for groping when not invited to do so?

Good grief, why would you want to.
I totally understand Al Bundy now,
and why he never wanted sex with
Peg. It had nothing to do with what
she looked like.

+1 to having him blocked for this reason. Got to be like talking to children. I had enough.

I "get" Al also. I'm just waiting for someone to throw a lawsuit out, claiming equal rights for married spouses as single women.

Remember when many young men got married thinking they would have unlimited access to "free" sex? I can imagine some woman filing a complaint because her husband grabbed her ass or breast without permission.

Just another reason I have continually lobbied to legalize prostitution Nevada style. Keep it legal, keep it clean, and save a lot of hurt.

I'm also expecting a resurgence of the Larain Bobbit types, thinking it right to castrate men who offend them. The world will mostly makes jokes of that, but whatever you do, don't say "hey babe".

Another possible gift from the Vietnam War era.

Quote:
HERALD, W.Va. — A half a century after serving in Vietnam, hundreds of veterans have a new reason to believe they may be dying from a silent bullet — test results show some men may have been infected by a slow-killing parasite while fighting in the jungles of Southeast Asia.

The Department of Veterans Affairs this spring commissioned a small pilot study to look into the link between liver flukes ingested through raw or undercooked fish and a rare bile duct cancer. It can take decades for symptoms to appear. By then, patients are often in tremendous pain, with just a few months to live.

Of the 50 blood samples submitted, more than 20 percent came back positive or bordering positive for liver fluke antibodies, said Sung-Tae Hong, the tropical medicine specialist who carried out the tests at Seoul National University in South Korea.

"It was surprising," he said, stressing the preliminary results could include false positives and that the research is ongoing.
