Leftist Nannyism continues in the People's Republic of New York

That incredible sense of superiority and self-righteous bull I see remains alive and well with the Socialist left.
I think you're just projecting.

5****ing cents ROFLMAO!!. You're killing me here!!! If you bother to do a little basic math , that tends to accumulate into quite a pile of fresh extorted cash. But as more people leave the grip of Chairman Andrew Cuomo from the People's Republic of New York, I figured sustainability of the law will last only as long as they can continue to extort adequate funds while feeding people lines of environmental bull.
You don't seem to realize that nobody is forcing you to buy bags. I'm still confused as to what freedoms you think you are losing? Could you specifically cite one?


I can't wait till the Airborne illnesses start from people going to the grocery store and more people continue to leave the Socialist state two other states that actually respect what it means to live in a free country with personal choice.

Hey look at that.....

New York state ranks first in population loss (again)

Bye-bye Chairman Mao present emperor of the People's Republic of New York!
Airborne illnesses? Huh?

Again, what "personal choice" do you think is being lost??

In case you're interested, NEWS FLASH it just so happens that five ****ing cents is mine, not yours to just compulsorly take from people because suddenly a group of self righteous hin***es happen to feel like doing so during those while enjoying the high-and-mighty moments where they feel they know much better on how people should live their lives and dictate to them how to do it. Major Royalty complex? That's an incredible understatement.
So don't buy a bag and instead take one of the other options I presented to you. Problem solved. I don't think grocery stores will be holding a gun to your head and forcing you to buy their bags for 5 cents. FYI: We've had this bag surcharge in my area for several years now. The sky hasn't fallen yet, I assure you.

Your freak-out seems completely unwarranted and over the top here. And I have to say, the self-righteous person with the sense of superiority here, sounds like you.


They definitely are not going to get the paper bag fee from me that's for damm certain from the oh so royal socialist dumb****'s that continues to orchestrate things like this unabated.

Just watch the tree hugger movement start complaining about deforestation again in the rainforest because of the increased use to paper bags like they did in the past for which they were the ones who actually brought plastic bags to stores in the first place. Crazy nut cases.
Yeah, they're the crazy nutcases on this one. Not the guy foaming at the mouth screaming insults and cursing people out because of a 5 cent surcharge on a paper bag that he isn't even required to buy. ;)

Well then there's a choice to remove the ban then. Right?
You have many choices.

And I've just thought of another one. Since there are plastic bag exceptions for take-out food, bulk items, deli counter items, garments and trash and recycling, you could just save one of those and take it shopping with you next time you go. Then you can stuff all your groceries in it and rub it in their faces that you have a plastic bag, if you want!

My choice is to completely eradicate the ban and not have to see everything and everyone being channeled yet once again through Socialist liberal ideology and the employment of jackboot tactics to force people to accommodate their insatiable superiority complex and dreams of a socialist fueled dystopia.

That's not an available choice. There are several other choices available to you. But that's just not good enough for you. Please tell me again how your freedoms have been so severely limited by a ban on *some* plastic bags in grocery stores. :rolleyes: From where do you derive this right that you think you have to be able to be given plastic bags in grocery stores?

There's nothing socialistic about a ban on products that are harmful to the earth we all have to inhabit. Did you think it was socialistic liberal ideology when we banned CFC's that were known to be destroying the ozone layer?

Sorry, but you just sound so selfish. Like everything should be about you and your wants. FYI: You live in a society.

It's not me who engages the Socialist practice of nannyism. I'm just duly reporting what the socialists are doing.

The superiority complex has now gone into orbit.
How dare those durned socialist libs ban led from paint in toys and pipes. Its my right and choice to get led poisoning, dammit!

Plastic Bags to Be Banned in New York State

I seem to remember plastic bags coming on the scene in the day because of the destruction of forests and the habitation of animals buy liberal environmentalists and tree hugging sympathizers. All those hippie days.......

Of course in the People's Republic of New York, it's fine to return to paper bags for "ahem" a $0.05 paper bag fee. Which of course I'm sure we'll go to the 'appropriate' end-user of said fees.

Of course I'll have to dig out my soiled and dirty grocery bag that was laying under that pile of moldy rags in the corner of my garage all these years.

I can't wait to see my fellow comrades at the grocery store to see who wins the most disgusting bag contest while waiting in the breadline as the spores and viruses from everyone's filthy bags permeate the grocery store air and make everybody sick and contaminate the food.

What's wrong with reusable bags? Here in WA the $0.10 for a bag surcharge, gets you a nice hefty reusable bags (not paper) in most places. Yes, some places use paper, but I don't see the problem, I use them to clean my litter boxes then toss em after. It's all about smart usage. Your bellyaching isn't going to change anyone's mind. You are only making a divide, where there really isn't one.

The divide isn't really over the bags.

It's over the Socialist Democrats use of governmental power to willfully force people and private business to give up their freedom of having a personal choice over how they want to lead and conduct their own lives. It destroys personal freedom for favor of the state of which nannyism institutes further 'legal' mechanisms of control and every socialist Democrat knows it.

And yes , there is a huge serious divide that is going to be dealt with head on more and more as this continues.

The Socialist Democrats are making a lot of people angrier and angrier over their loss of movement, their loss of choice, their loss of personal finance, and loss of speech, including but not limited to anything else that hasn't been mentioned yet.

Can't say I've noticed any loss of anything. But hey, what ever makes you happy, angry, keeps you warm at night. Take a look around outside, nothing is as bad as you're making it out to be. You come off very melodramatic.
