So this guy I work with came in today complaining about the traffic.\nI started thinking….\nThis guy has 4 kids.  So he is doubled the population.\nIf you have more than 2 kids you should not be allowed to complain about traffic.  Or the population at all.  Because you’re the cause.\n\nI think the U.S. should start looking at limiting the kids people can have.  Maybe 2 kids.  Not like china, and only 1 kid.  \n\nWhat does everyone think?

AMEN!!!  Our society has become a nation of Whiners.  Everything that we do if someone doesn't like it, they can whine about and there is a lwsuit for everything.  Whaaaaaa, he looked at me wrong I am suing him.  WTF, Absolutely agree.  People need to realize how good things are and how advanced and papmered we really are.  Take a trip to a REAL homeless shelter, not one of these that has people that just don't like the company at home.  Go feed and listen to someone that is much less fortunate than you and then whine about your car not being at work for only 8 hrs a day out of 24.  geezzzz!!!

I couldn't agree more.  A license is required to drive, hunt, fish...but not create and raise a human being??  That's insane.  Some people have absolutely no business having children, and if it took more effort than a romp in the sack to produce one I think people would give it a lot more thought.  It's a choice, not a requirement of life.  Not everyone is cut out to say, drive a car, and if you get a few too many DWI's your license is promptly revoked.  A parenting license should have similar rules of conduct to protect those who cannot protect themselves.  Of course, it's a step in the right direction but it wouldn't necessarily prevent all potentially bad parents from becoming one.

Isn't it ironic that the protest makes me want them to protest everyday!\n\nThis was the best traffic day in the Long Beach area. I am actually planning on going to the mall after work because it wont have as many crying babies and little brats!

Perhaps Arizona should look at ways of increasing the capacity of its systems.  I think about the former "traditonal gateways" to this nation like New York/San Francisco, Chicago, Boston, Buffalo, Detroit etc. and how they managed and benefited from large influxes of immigrants.  Perhaps the state government of Arizona just has not decided to build the infrastructure it needs to manage this.  I'd venture to say that if the same amount of influx were to happen in NYC or SF etc. (and it is happening in both those cities!) that you would be hearing little about a crisis. . .but that the locality would mobilize to solve the matter that benefits all.

While I understand your concern, I don't get very upset about this. So few people do this. Now if you were upset about the millions and millions of dollars that the federal government wastes or the way people spend their disposable income on frivolities while children starve, I could get upset. We all have the right to leave our money to whatever cause, person, we want. And I applaud that.  That is a right that everybody should be free to exercise. I get more upset about pollution, child pornography, the wealthy who have to have fifteen cars, twelve mansions, and designer clothes that they wear once while doing next to nothing for charity. and there are plenty of them. There are people in this world who have amassed millions yet do close to nothing to benefit their fellow man. That I find truly upsetting. When I hold that up to few people who leave their money to a cat or a dog, the animal lovers don't even figure in. And frankly, I have a dog and am disabled. As a result of my disability, I don't have as much contact with the outside world that I need. There are times in life when the presence of that little dog has kept me alive. Nobody is going to tell me what that dog has meant to me or whether or not I can make provisions for him in the event of  my death.

Absolutely, no one makes more than the government and that's why we have this antiquated traffic light system instead of the adaptive control system that cycle only when there is a break in traffic. (don't stop 50 cars to let one go).  On that 50 cents they use a large part of it to support their lavish life styles and it never goes back into transportation. You are right on the money. The more we use the more the government makes so where is the incentive????

Your idea has been proposed a jillion times, but the fact is, we Americans are too selfish. Let the other guy protest, is what most are thinking.  So it just doesn't happen.\n\nI think it would work, though, except many of us live in rural areas with no mass transit...and we gotta work, ya know?  I tried to carpool, but no one in my rural area goes to the same area to work as me.\n\nI AM tired of it (the gas prices), though.  I think it would have been easier if there were a gradual rise over several years, instead of all at once.  My understanding is that places like Australia have been paying these prices for over 15 yrs (?).  Not sure if that's right, but we've had it pretty easy here.  \n\nAnother thing to look at: certain govt officials are looking at taking the restrictions off fuel taxes, so they can be used for things other than highway/transportation improvement.  SURE hope this doesn't happen...look at how they handled the supposed income from lottery (was supposed to all go to schools, remember?).  Imagine how much better our classrooms would be if they had done what they said.\n\nAnyway, good observation you have there.

Very noble thoughts but hypocritical! Who would leave his car at home and ride a bicycle to work? Would u? The world is too entangled in the interests of different groups to let go of the facilities it has even if those facilities pollute our air. Big business clearly doesn't bother--Has there been a decrease in number of cars manufactured in the world? OK they're more energy efficient, but that doesn't solve the problem--Energy efficiency doesn't change the gases released into the atmoephere. Until now we should have developed and started mass producing a car using some other source of energy.Generatios to come will look back and definitely blame us for our inability to react fast enough to a looming danger.

Sorry we are overcrowded now.\n\nSorry-America;\n\n  There is a lot to see here. Many luxuries. Our Cities are stunning. All kinds of people of all races, nationalities, religions cultures. And it is not hard to be friendly.\n  Down side-Political up heaving, crooked government, Our Services Schools and Medical and State funding is in trouble. Our legal system is in trouble--the Justice system are not taking the bad element off the street. But with so many people who notices it.\n If you to come-enjoy but be careful.\n And yes we are overcrowded.

Get over it.\n\nYou guys were Yankees with slaves.\n\n...and you're hands down the rudest, most inconsiderate drivers on the east coast.....\n\nI suspect you guys are the reason that if you take the route number for the capital beltway and subsititute letters for numbers (a=1, b=2, c=3 etc) it spells DIE,

I like it!  Nice suggestion.  Maybe Ill even go downtown which is supposed to be "shut off" by the protests and do it.\n\nLots of silly posts again.  Americans would be happy to pick cabbage or any other fruit or veggie if the pay was enough.  But its not, because the illegals are willing to do it so cheaply.  Its called Supply and Demand, and its Econ 101.\nSecondly, its not racist or ignorant to realize that the social infrastructure of the US cannot bear the weight of so many illegals.  The Health Care System is breaking, the Justice System is breaking, the Schools runneth over with students, and all you ignorant people can say is that we are racist for not allowing them in.  Well, I hope one of the illegals, one who is a child molestor or a murder or a thief moves next door to you.  Legals should always be welcome in the US- but a tidal wave of illegals is swamping this country, and because they have not been screened, there is a much higher % of criminal element that are illegals that would ever be allowed to immigrate legally.  Wake up and educate yourselves on the facts of this matter.

It's the latest thing, give it a couple years and they'll find something else to complain about.  My husband smokes and drives a truck that gets 8 mpg on the highway, so I guess they are really offended by us, lol.

I do.  What are we going to do though?  With a rising population you have to put them somewhere right?  I'm for setting aside large chunks of land as reserves now while we have them to set aside.  Unfortunately, our culture's attitude towards land usage and the environment in general is ignore, ignore, ignore, panic.  I don't think we've reached panic yet, but we will. I'm not for the grid system either.  I think that is one of the worst ideas of all time.  Like in Arizona, for example, the land that can be developed, and the land that can't, are arranged in a checkerboard.  So what happens to animals that roam or migrate?  When all the 'boxes' of land have been developed around the reserved block the animals inside are cut off - the population either has to move to another block or it dwindles and possibly dies off.  Plus they have all kinds of run ins with the surrounding communities.  Some people that live in these communities think that it doesn't adversely affect the environment but it does.  They say "What do you mean?  The deer aren't dying off - I just had one in my backyard the other day."  They don't see how that is a problem.  The checkerboard is not a solution - it just worsens the effect of development.  And Phoenix is a classic example of urban sprawl.  Like a cancerous tumor its neverending grid of streets spreads out in all directions.  We aren't there yet - and we may not see it in our lifetimes - but the earth is so going to kick all of our a**e* eventually.   And, as a cultural, we will stand bug-eyed and bewildered - scratching our collective empty head over how it came to this.

NO! Because we cannot afford a huge flood of immigrants into this country, our social structure cant bear it.  Plus, then you are allowing everyone in- I dont know about you, but Id prefer Mexico keep their child molestors and murderers, we have enough up here already.  Are the schools in your area empty?  Are they complaining about having too much money?  I know mine are filled to the max, so an uncontrolled flood of illegals filling the place up faster than we can build new schools would not be a good thing.  Are the jails empty and your cops having nothing to do in your area?  Not the case where I live.  Are the roads empty where you live?  Not where I live, I dont know if they can bear thousands of new cars on the road, as you flood us with illegals.  Are your health care costs Low?  Is it easy to find a Dr. in your area?  By adding millions of uninsured illegals to our system, do you think your costs would go down or up (duh-up of course!)? Etc Etc.  Legal immigration allows for non-criminal, educated people, who actually want to be come productive citizens to come to the US in a controlled manner.  Legal immigration is great.  Illegal immigration is horrible for the US and for all the legal citizens (both immigrants and natural born).  Learn the facts of this problem before spouting off about how our government is "being mean".

I don't have an answer for you.  Obviously the people drafting the laws didn't have all of the facts.  Why not call up the trucking lobby and complain?\n\nAdditional: to another answerer I don't think this gentlemen was disputing global warming.  He was merely stating a fact based on his experience.  As far as the animal comment - doesn't surprise me.  A lot of people treat their dogs better than their wives and kids.  \n\nI wish I had answers.  Interesting points though.  I still say write your Congressman or lobby (union, etc).
