we do not take out the kids to pee and do their stuff in the park ... kids are in the park to play. i have yet to see a parent to take out their kids in the park to go potty ... but almost every single dog owner (a/k/a dogparent) takes out fido to potty ...

Let me recap this thread

1. Guy posts a perfectly acceptable topic that many including myself were hoping to get the answer to.

2. Next, several people whom we can only suspect are sad, bitter and totally disappointed with their lives post nasty replies.

3. More unnecessary posts by aforementioned loser sad people.

4. A kind person actually posts something useful. Wow there 'are' helpful people out there.

5. Thread becomes completely hijacked and everyone loses interest.

So annoying

Is there anything that can be done about the incessant noise from the concerts on governors island heard in downtown JC every weekend? This is ridiculous, it is 11:30 on a Sunday night and I can hear the bass through closed windows!

So if you go to the airport, do you submit to the search, or do you just never go to the airport?

If you do submit to the search at the airport, how are you "keeping your freedom" and who is winning then?

The Underwear Bomber did not check luggage which should have really tipped off security for extra screening if they were following post 9/11 procedures (Remember that you said earlier you would 'absolutely' like to go back to pre-9/11 levels of security. In his case because procedures were not followed, we effectively had pre-9/11 security and he was nearly successful).

In the case of the Shoe Bomber he did, just as you said, return the next day after he was initially turned away by security to try to fly again the next day. The extra day is thought to be why the explosives did not detonate.

and you win....how?

by keeping my freedom and proving it doesn't work. I was
laughing at how I was told "if you refuse the search, you will not be allowed to travel on the PATH today."
Well I travelled on the PATH twice that day.
What would stop someone with a bomb from doing the same thing I did? Just go to another station and get on the train. It's a system that doesn't work.
How many terrorists have these bag searches caught?

It's better with some search then no search at all. What about the safety of all the employees on the train system ? You are a guest on their train when you are a guest in someone's home you should abide by their rules, similar to a dress code at an establishment. Even when you "pay" a cover charge you get searched before entering and leave when told to or at closing which ever comes first. It's better with some search then no search at all.

So what do you suggest I do? Refuse the search, leave the station, and end up late for work?

There are just three apartments in our building (four tenants) and we were looking into getting one alarm system at the front door.

Our landlord actually agreed to splitting the cost with us tenants... but ran into a snag.

The only problem which I haven?t been able to resolve is how to know who to call if the alarm goes off. If one of you accidently sets it off, the alarm company will only call one number. If they call tenant 1, she won?t know if it?s a true alarm if it?s been set off by the tenant 2 or tenant3/tenant4. Unfortunately, the police department will come and write a summons if it?s a false alarm. I believe they allow you two without issuing the summons, but after that it?s a problem. If any of you have any suggestions on how we can alleviate this problem, please let me know.



Is there a security system that works for multi-family homes? I haven't called companies yet. Should we all just get our own systems? Maybe they'll cut us a break since it's three in the same building.

I would propose dog owners parents must get licensing, similar to a obtaining a car license. It would involve (1) basic dog kid owning knowledge test, (2) evidence of insurance so that, if your dog bites kid attacks someone, the victim can sue the shit out you and (3) maybe some other requirements that would be useful. People keep saying dogs have to be licensed now and I know that, but as these dog lovers parents love to say, it is not the dogs its the owners my kid. So owners parents should need a license, as well as the dogs kids. Also large fees should be charged for these licenses so that more money can be put into doggy law curfew enforcement.

As for urban areas, dog owning child bearing should be much more restrictive. In the suburbs or rural areas you can make a better argument for dog child freedom, but not in a city. I would require a mandatory license to evidence that every single dog child you own in a city has gone through some form of obedience training. A dog child seen off a leash causing problems should be immediately confiscated and sent to live with a family on a farm. I would also only allow dogs children in certain areas of the city, not on every street of the city. Some areas would be off limits to dogs children.

Thats what I can say Just off the top of my head...but any rules would best come out of a dialogue between dog owners parents and people like myself.

No disrespect. This is like a mini memorial, but its not appealing to the city.

The can have all the things there, but not write it on the wall.

(By the way, every night like 10 peopel hang out there, i guess showing respect. If its removed, it might come back)
