    I can't believe this! I just read in the paper that two little girls that had a lemonade stand in their front yard got shut down by the government!!! Apparently, a health inspector said that their "ice cubes were unsafe". I swear I am not kidding. They have since been aplogized to and are allowed to have the stand again but what the hell is wrong with people!!! Shutting down a little kids lemonade stand! I hate all this government B.S.!
    ....end rant....

    Yeah, that is a little ridiculous. I saw this on the news... This little kid was at a baseball game(he was maybe three or four) and a ball got hit off into the stadium. So the kid's standing there and the ball gets in the stadium literally right next to him. Seeing as all the other fans nearby are generally good honest people, they let the kid have it when anyone could of easily got it. Wrong! Some fucker ran up, knocking the child and the mother down, and got the ball. Anyways, he was booded the rest of the game, and the two teams kept hitting balls up to the kid, which was real nice. It's just, what the hells wrong with people? They're little kids for god's sake. Let them have their fun.

    Hahaha... that is such bullshit! Like two little girls are out to hurt people or something. :rolleyes: That's amazing...

    God, what a jerk. It's just a baseball. I mean, he should have let the kid have the ball, but most importantly, he should never have knocked the kid down. What an asshole.

    Heh you dont really know the whole story though of the ice cubes. It does seem ratical, but, you never know what could be in or on those ice cubes. It could be just some simple thing. Usually if they had bad ice they wouldnt shut it down but tell them to fix it and then come back. Well in a real business anyway. I dont know about a lemonade stand. Some cancer patient was tryign to get 1 million dollars selling lemonade by the end of this year. She died half way through, her friends are continueing it. So far she has 800,000

    Well, this is the logical extreme of poorly defined government control of free enterprise. Anti-business regulations don't discriminate between little girls and corporations. Be careful what you wish for.

    This reminds me of the Family Guy episode where Peter kicks down the little girl's lemonade stand because she wouldn't accept his credit card. Family Guy kicks ass.


    This has nothing to do with the topic btw.....
