    Californians fined heavily for long showers

    Would they still be fining people for taking long showers forever? I mean, droughts don't last forever. However temporary measures such as this are ineffective. Several desalination plants would permanently fix this problem. There's enough water in the Pacific ocean after all.

    Attack of the sea lion!

    Obviously he won't be posing for selfies on boats anymore. It's one of those once bitten twice shy stories. Strange though, the last time I read something about sea lions, one of them was saving a man who wanted to commit suicide. - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) A man who...

    Is it true that terror and fear is the fuel to viral news?

    Most news is bad news so I wouldn't find it surprising that the worse the news is the higher the likelihood of it going viral. If the media published more positive stories maybe we'd see the trend change.

    If you won the lottery

    How much money are we talking about? A million bucks? Ten Million? 20 or more? To be honest, I'd probably invest 90% of the dough in residential real estate. I'd then buy a whole lot of books and send them to a number of children's homes. Books can change the lives of those children so I'm sure...

    Parole or Full Sentence?

    Those who committed serious crime should serve out their full sentence. I've heard stories of someone committing more crimes when on parole then disappearing forever. Why should such risks be taken? It's better to have the criminal in jail and when they are released then someone [police have...

    Homophobic police officers suspended

    While it's great that racist police officers are going to be fired, this doesn't address the problem which needs to be fixed.

    What games do you play on PC?

    I hardly ever play games on my PC anymore. Once in a while I could play Spider Solitaire or when I'm not in the mood, I download any of those free shooting games from MyPlayCity. When I restart my computer, the game will be gone since I use DeepFreeze to keep my PC free of viruses.

    Texting while driving.

    Most people think they can drive relatively well while texting. They've done it before maybe. Would doing it one more time be any different? Penalties for using the phone while driving should be more severe I think. Lock up up first-time offenders. Escalate the penalties for repeat offenders...

    UN would like people to eat insects to fight world hunger

    What insects do they propose people should start eating? Locusts? Crickets? Ants? I wouldn't mind trying locusts [if they are tasty] but I think the UN instead of making such suggestions should try to get people [those who live arid and semi-arid areas] to plant drought-resistant crops. That...

    Chris Rock posts selfies of police stops.

    All this race-baiting is getting to be a little ridiculous. You are more likely to pulled over by a cop for no apparent reason if you are black but you won't be pulled over just because you are black. Entirely different things. Lots of people play the race card but I expect that celebrities...

    Has anyone in your family ever been police officer?

    One of my cousins was a cop for a little while. He found the work rather taxing and quit after 5 years. He's a high school teacher these days. I wonder if he ever encourages any of his students to pursue a career in law enforcement.
