Gum Control

[Anti_Hypeman]

I am all for Singapore style control. Gum sucks! I dont care if people gum if they could learn to keep the crap in their mouths.

I am all for Singapore style control. Gum sucks! I dont care if people gum if they could learn to keep the crap in their mouths.That figures. You're in favor of just a little bitty bit of gum control. Then when we've all accepted it, you impose a little bit more, and a little more, until one day, when nobody has any gum any more, the secret police come and kick your door down. And who's going to stop them, now that nobody has any gum?

Why do you hate America, you fascist?

Have you been there (to Singapore). It's a b-u-t-full country and the cities are spotless. They had a bit of a problem a while back with people pissing in elevators (few public restrooms exist) so they installed cameras in most all of them.

Get caught pissing in an elevator...you get cained (the asian equiv of being horsewhipped).

I think it is appropiate. The perfect punishment, IMO. Something your mamma and poppa obviously forgot to do.

ETA: erm...not YOUR folks...just the folks of those that would do that. Sorry if misconstrued.

Dude chewing gum is my constitutional right blah blah and what if the non-chewing military tries to take over the country blah blah blah blah!!

[Flange Desire]

Its not the gum that kills, its the gum owner.

I chew and I vote.

btw, I was very impressed with the cleanliness of Singapore
- to be commended.

Hey, they don't call him BAZOOKA Joe for nothing!

Singapore sounds like a bad parody of the movie "Demolition Man" or the Star Trek TNG episode "Justice" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justice_%28TNG_episode%29) . It really is a pathetic situation when clean streets take precedence over human rights.

You had a typo there, Rob, so I fixed it for you.

[shemp]

If Singapore wants my gum, they'll have to pry it out of my cold dead mouth!

[brodski]

when gum is outlawed, only outlaws will have gum

[Darat]

Problem is easily solved - swallow the damn gum when you've finished chewing.

It will not stick to your heart, it will not gum up your nether regions!

[Jon_in_london]

....it will not gum up your nether regions!

It will if you try and hide it from teacher by concealing it under your foreskin!

[BPSCG]

It will if you try and hide it from teacher by concealing it under your foreskin!...and you know this because...

[roger]

...and you know this because...I'm guessing he found himself in that sticky situation.

These cameras are why you gotta chew gum. You put your wad of gum over the camera lense, then you can pee in the elevator all you want.

Okay, admit it. Much as we're all uncomfortable with Singapore's authoritarian style, we've all silently wished for a public caning to be administered when we found our fingers brushing up against a day-old piece of Bazooka Joe bubble gum under a movie chair arm.

What is this "uncomfortable" of which you speak?
