Mine smells like flowers-The imported kind from the tropics that grow at the arboretum....blooms once a year.

>> ^NetRunner:

But there is a point, and a benefit. One I've pointed out to you several times. Just because you deny the benefit exists, or simply fail to appreciate it, doesn't mean there isn't one.

The subtext was "to me", as in there's no benefit "to me". If you want to argue semantically how services I don't want are a benefit, that's fine, because Mussolini built roads so I guess you could argue also in favor of fascism that same way.

I don't "need" a license no matter how many services the government wants to manufacture for my benefit. LA City Council recently okayed a multibillion dollar contract to build a hotel. Yes, a hotel. And I don't want to pay for that either, but surely you could reach deep into your sophist repertoire and tell me how that too is a benefit to me.

Again. I don't see any benefit (to me!) for having to pay to register my dog yearly. It's just another tax.

>> ^NetRunner:

Who's they? I'd bring my dog to work, but my work won't let me. I'd bring my dog to restaurants, but restaurants won't let me. I'd take my dog shopping with me, but the shops won't let me. I'd take my dog to the arboretum, nature preserve, or conservatory, but none of those privately owned parks would let me.
Oh, you're not really talking about your movement (with dog, anyway) being restricted, you're just grousing about how "they" probably can pretty easily enforce the license law. Indeed they can.


Not sure why you're bringing up shopping malls and restaurants. It's irrelevant to anything we've discussed. The dog parks and beaches are common areas paid for already by my taxes. I have a right to access them, but then sometimes the police lock the people into the parks and block the beach exits to check the licenses.

I seriously have no idea why you're bringing up restaurants and nature preserves. You seemed to have a separate narrative running in your head at all times.

>> ^blankfist:

My point was it's pointless for me to register with the city. And there's no added benefit to do so.

But there is a point, and a benefit. One I've pointed out to you several times. Just because you deny the benefit exists, or simply fail to appreciate it, doesn't mean there isn't one.

But then again, you weren't really interested in the answer to "why do I need a dog license?" in the first place, nor any of the other questions.

You just wanted to try to assert that none of these questions have legitimate answers. This one does.
>> ^blankfist:

And they lock people into dog parks and beaches designed for dogs and check your license. If you don't have one, you get a ticket. I have no idea how much the fine is for not registering, but I'm sure it's steep as is every ticket in this city.

Is skateboarding seriously illegal anywhere in San Francisco ? If so, that's ridiculous.


From the City and County of San Francisco Board of Supervisors' web site [emphasis mine]:

a) Prohibits skateboarding on any city street at any time, on any sidewalk in any business district at any time, and on any non-business district sidewalk commencing 30 minutes after sunset and ending 30 minutes before sunrise (Traffic Code, Section 100)

b) Prohibits skateboarding "in or about any public transit station (including an outdoor high-level boarding platform), streetcar, cable car, motor coach, trolley coach or other public transit vehicle, including, but not limited to, those stations or vehicles operated by the Bay Area Rapid Transit District" (Traffic Code, Section 128)

c) Prohibits skateboarding in Yerba Buena Gardens, the Japanese Tea Garden, the Arboretum, Conservatory Valley, where it is posted as prohibited, and in South Beach Park or Rincon Park unless otherwise permitted (Park Code Sections 3.05 and 11.02 and Port Code Sections 2.4 and 7.2).

d) Requires skateboarders at skating facilities owned or operated by the City and County to wear helmets, kneepads, and elbow pads (Park Code Section 4.17).

What? I've been all around the thing on the outside. What plant lady?

You can't get over it. You gotta go around to the right past the plant lady.

MG you around? I can't get over the arboretum wall in the milkman area. You have tips? I am on my levitation ball, but I'm just not getting high enough...

Yeah, I beat it a couple weeks ago after seeing Yahtzee's review. It was one of the best video games that I've ever played. What part are you stuck at?
