I saw something on the news the other day about how your elections were coming up and the conservative party was winning. I have to admit though, they don't look nearly as scary as our conservatives do, so that's something you can find comforting at least. sweatdrop

Pirate Dirge I saw something on the news the other day about how your elections were coming up and the conservative party was winning. I have to admit though, they don't look nearly as scary as our conservatives do, so that's something you can find comforting at least. sweatdrop In a sense, yeah. You're probably right about that. More than once I've started paying attention to US politics, and just am always very glad I don't have that sort of political system in my country. Then again, I don't know if ours is much better. sweatdrop But Stephen Harper, part of his party's platform is to overturn the law which was passed that made same-sex marriages legal. He says that he would overturn the law, but all existing same-sex marriages would still exist - it would only be future marriages that would be affected, as they would be called "civil unions", and I'm presuming they wouldn't have the same legal status as a marriage. scream The bastards don't seem to understand that the MAJORITY of Canadians WANT same-sex marriages. They WANT gay people to have the same rights as everyone else because, guess what? They're people too! I can't remember the exact statistic, but I think it's something like 70-something% of Canadians who are pro-same-sex marriage. ******** get over it and leave it alone. It was made legal for a reason. (Sorry, it's a HUGE pet peeve of mine. redface ) It's why I didn't vote for his party, despite the fact I like the rest of his party's platform. I don't believe in taking away people's rights based on their sexuality.

I heard about that, but Ive also heard that child welfare is looking into the situation, as well as a police investigation into the incident. The man in the car beside her is her bodyguard. I dont know about you but if I felt that in danger, I would of gotten into the back seat with my child having strapped him in, let the bodyguard drive and called the police to back the news crew (papparatzi) off. you dont drive with your child on your lap! This has annoyed the heck out of me aswell. My reaction "Oh my god they are going to snap a couple pictures of the baby vs. Oh my god lets drive with a baby in my lap!" GAH! This doesnt take a genious to make the correct decision! Here is another article on it http://entertainment.msn.com/music/hotgossip6?GT1=7756

Carseats are a pet peeve of mine. I'm meticulous about them! I even bitched my own MIL out once for being lax with putting my son properly into a carseat (hasn't happened again since a-thankyou).
I'm with y'all. I believe I would've "instinctively" put my child into a carseat. What good is getting away from the alleged papparazzi gonna do if you end up going out Princess Di style? He son would've gone straight through the windshield (providing the deployed airbag didn't crush him to death). Then how "safe" would her baby be?

Yeah, I kept thinking about it too and I can't figure out how driving while AGITATED with only one hand is the instinctual safe thing to do. I would have either handed the baby over to the passenger or made the passenger drive and gotten in the back. I understand wanting to get away but that was not the smartest thing she could have done by a LONG shot. All I could think about was what Loki already brought up: car accident happens and the baby is crushed to death by a burning hot air bag. ;o; Or if the air bag doesn't get him, she wouldn't be able to hold him against the impact of a crash.
Oh that's an interesting article you found, Gentle, gives a lot more detail then a lot of them and I thought the same thing they brought up: she doesn't look scared and the body guard doesn't look agitated.
I'm thinking she did another really stupid thing and assumed no one would call her on it.

You know I've actually seen people do, this it's like they just don't get it. Even today we say a man pull into the parking space next to us with his little girl un-seatbelted and hang out the window. Why, gonk why don't these people care! This is one of those things that just really makes me nuts. People can't put on their seat belts to save them from dying, but they'll do it to avoid a $110 dollar fine. I'm sorry but even if your are stupid enough to drive with your baby on you lap, couldn't you be smart enough to realize they were going to take your picture if they where right there?

It only took once, before children, to have a police officer pull us over (our temporary tag had fallen out of the window so it looked like we were driving without a plate) and tell us we were lucky he didn't give us each the 200 dollar fine for no seatbelts and to consider it a warning to wear our OWN seatbelts every single time.
Firefighters will tell you that given an accident where the body of the car is intact that they RARELY cut corpses out of seatbelts. But they scrape dead bodies off pavement who are thrown from accidents where they'd have certainly survived if they'd just had their damn seatbelts on.
Dude, she could have left the stupid handle of the infant carrier up (though your not supposed to do that either) and draped a large blanket over it. Leaving the handle up (which sometimes I forget myself to put down) is a far less dangerous thing in my opinion than not having him in the carseat/carrier at all. Moron.

My mother NEVER let us be unseatbelted and would refuse to even start the car if we weren't buckled in and I'm just as a**l about it as she is because it was always stressed to me as being important. I'll even squawk at Chris if he starts to pull out and my buckle isn't fastened. LOL
I can't recall a single traffic accident with fatalities that he's gone to where any of the people involved were wearing seat belts. And I can only think of one person I knew who did die because of complications caused by the seatbelt...but as they were side-swiped by a semi on his side, he would have died anyway and been thrown from the car.
Seeing unbuckled up children gets me so angry...about as bad as I get when I know people have left the restroom and NOT WASHED THEIR HANDS. gonk Omigod, ew ew ew. I refuse to touch door handles in restrooms because it would negate the fact that I washed mine.

Ugh I'm not even STARTING on that bag of crap. My husband was in Abu Ghraib at the hospital for a couple months and the connotations are just insulting.
