House of Delegates kills bill that would have banned ‘bumper nuts’

Looks like I'm not quoting verbatim even to that plagiarist Honest Abe Lincoln. I am ashamed. "we have nothing to fear, but fear itself" Confucius lol

I am glad the bill died. I understand some are "offended". The folks for the ban obviously are not against hearing women's ads about their "heavy flow days", or men with an erection longer than for hours singing viva viagra. Do their kids ask what those things are? Do you have to explain to the kid just because he/she asks the question? If "yes", then you are the fool. As far as compensating for inadequacies, spare me, are we 12 years old? Recognize the bill for what it was, taking just a little bit of freedom at a time. Oh no, it doesn't bother you cause it offends you, and you don't recognize it for what it is. But those two facts do not change two other facts:1)you have zero right to not be offended, and 2)that bill would take away a little bit of freedom. After passing that bill the government would find another "offense" to go after. Like you litte man peeing on something, or "My kid make the honor roll", because that will offend the stupid kids! Don't believe it? Political hacks conjure up new ways to take our freedom everyday, it is their living.

I believe the quote is " Better to be thought a fool than to open mouth and remove all doubt." Old Abe may have appreciated the quote and used it, Lord know it is as appropriate toady as it was then, but it belongs singularly to another with a myriad of oft-used quotes -- Confucious.

Yes, it's a waste of time to legislate against bumper nutz, but a bigger waste is people who didn't learn good home training from their momma. Momma must be proud; she just can't wait to see bumper nutz swinging in the driveway when you visit. I hear Springer’s security guy has a new show for all bumper nutz fans. Doesn't it go without saying that a man in a big truck with swinging bumper nutz is insecure about something?

One would think that a delegate who's district office is listed as Chesapeake, Va. 23324(South Norfolk), or SONO, as it is coming to be called, would have a few more important issues to resolve than the display of bovine testicles on vehicles. I find this whole story quite humorous. As to those who display these having nothing to fear, there is always a chance they might get kicked in the bumper. A quote I have saved for a special occasion. "It is better to keep one's mouth shut and be thought a fool than to open it and resolve all doubt."
Abraham Lincoln

"The lawyers, unfortunately, make many of the laws, so it's going to take some serious work to get a handle on personal injury awards in this country. I agree that a victim should be compensated, but some of the awards are stratospheric these days. I just can't see the lawyers making laws that would kill their goose that lays the golden eggs."

A lot of work you say? Try writing your representative a letter. It takes less time than it did to respond to my post. Let's not pretend to be conerned or involved by writing to the papers message boards.

We need to have a 100% change in every elected and appointed seat in local and state government. Then we need to invoke TERM LIMITS on every elected and appointed seat. Can you imagine how much corruption and complacency we can do away with by TERM LIMITS? Every piece of stupid legislation like this takes away from the time that our government should be working on meaningful and legitimate legislation. VOTE-EM-OUT!

Hey! SteveVA, I'm right there with ya buddy!!

Now I can fire up my hulking F350 equipped with my shiny new jumbo-sized hanging balls pull into that there restaurant and smoke me some Marlboro’s--ahhh paradise!

Yes, there is much that goes on in Richmond and Washington that we just don't have the time to even begin to learn about like little pieces of other legislation being tucked into a military appropriations bill, for example, so that it will sneak through to passage.

The lawyers, unfortunately, make many of the laws, so it's going to take some serious work to get a handle on personal injury awards in this country.

They tend to sue when they know what they can get. I have been told by an attorney they prefer visible injuries such as lost limbs becasue it is easier to bully the insurance company or sway the jury. So, if I were looking at clients and I saw that one had higher limits of insurance, do you think I would ask for more? The scenario you describe of 10M rarely occurs. Trial lawyers prefer to settle. Oddly, they do not like court that much. There is risk and work involved with court appearances. Let me put this in perspective. Let's say you rear ended my car. I called an attorney to represent me. He calls you and asks how much you make and how much your assets were worth; how would you respond? You know why he asking, right? You now know that you will be dealt with differently if you have more than another. This doesn't bother you? You do not want to ask WHY this would be legislated? You, me, us...we are being robbed while everyone is debating truck nuts!

I think that information is pointless; an attorney is going to sue for what they think they can get regardless of the policy limits. Who cares if you have 100/500/100 if they're seeking $10M?

Stupid Patsy Rubbing Us In Ludicrous Legislation - I like it...

While they are distracting you with nuts, the paper fails to report that the lawyers in the house want your money. Ask yourself why an attorney would want this info BEFORE suing you.

juvenile bumper nuts yet wave On the highways of the free... I guess the constituent who complained is busy explaining to his daughter what's on our State flag right about now.

what a joke, next this idiot will try and pass legislation on the sticker with the little guy pissing on everything. If you don't like the nuts, change lanes or pull over and get a starbucks...

Since HB 1452 banning bumber "nuts" was killed by Legislators, there cannot be any objections to hang rubber penis a.k.a dildo, or vagina . He he hee.

...to get Spruill out of office. I don't find "bumper nuts" very tasteful, but how much are we paying this man to try to pass such worthless legislation?
