At least you don't have to worry about being good at filling the gas tank. What an asinine law.

What law is this?

In Oregon and New Jersey, gas stations are required by law to be full service only. Because those states hate freedom.

Is it asinine because it's not in your state? Or because you like getting out of your car to go pump gas?

It's asinine that a person cannot legally perform the most basic of upkeep on their privatly owned vehical. It's like there being a law against washing your clothing or dishes.

Maybe because people might pump the gas, and drive away without paying..

People are doing that in Australia (forgot what the name was), but that is because of the rising fuel prices (thaank you Mr George Bush SIR!)

Isn't there an invention now called pre-pay (aka pay-before-you-pump)?

Not in my country sir. But then again, we don't have things like "freedom to choose whether to vote or not" Actually some places have pre pay

Namesake of the Oregon Trail, full service gas, no sales tax, home of Portland's famed northwest quarter...Oregon has it all! And James has dysentery!

The no sale's tax thing is nice when I'm passing through and all, but if you look at the economy of Oregon next to Washington (which has high sales tax but no income tax) it becomes clear that it is not a wise plan, economically.

Eh, it's not that simple, nor am I convinced that the Oregon economy is hindered by its tax-revenue scheme.

Washington has no income tax, but a high sales tax. The only people who get to have their cake and eat it too are the ones who live in Vancouver and shop in Portland. Everything else is up for discussion. However, I for one believe more firmly in the income tax, which is progressive, than the sales tax, which is regressive. But it's not really a one-or-the-other question, or at least it doesn't have to be. Most states have both taxes, each at lower rates.

Yeah, and let's not forget George Bush caused hurricane Katrina, too...

...

Getting back on topic, well, I guess a lot of people were actually much younger than I expected, and others, older than I expected.

Some of you act better well beyond your years, and some of you...need to act your age.

I disagree...Age does not matter in the whole when it comes to a specific interest. If that was so, then Shigeru Miyamoto would be considered, "creepy," at age 53 for creating Nintendo as it is today.

It matters when you hang with 15 and under year olds!

*shudder* I hope Exodus doesn't meet to meet him somewhere.
