OMG, California. STOP IT.

Seriously, California. You already are the poster-state for whining liberal wussies. And now you have banned frisbee-throwing on beaches? Footballs, too? I suppose laughing and smiling are next, huh? I mean, someone could get HURT.
Wow.
My mother always used to tell me that if I can’t say something nice, I shouldn’t say anything at all. She loves me anyway, though, so I’ll just say this…
California? YOU SUCK.

I read this earlier and just had to shake my head. The politicians out there have their heads so far up their rear ends. Can’t play on the beach. Kids can’t even dig holes because if it’s too deep it’s a fine. Next they’ll outlaw playing in parks. Commifornia!!!
Yeah, I just heard about this on the radio. Simply amazing. And it doesn’t seem like there’s been much public outcry on this yet. At least this is happening in L.A., and not down here in San Diego. Yet, anyways… Never underestimate libtards with nothing better to do.
I’m just waiting for them to make breathing illegal because it puts out so much CO2.
I live in the middle of nowhere in the Midwest, and my son’s school banned playing tag on the playground because someone might get hurt. The insanity is already spreading eastward.
Sigh…Commiefornia is right…unfortunately.
It is obvious that none of you have had to deal with the pain and suffering caused by Frisbee injuries. As Chairman of PETF (People for the Ethical Throwing of Frisbees) I have worked hand in throwing hand with the fine officials of LA County to reduce the threat of unethical Frisbee throwing on the beaches of this fine land. Have you heard the saying, “hey, you could lose an eye doing that?” Where do you think that originated? Yep, on the Frisbee strewn beaches of LA County.
I ask you, fine readers of the Young Ladies on the Right (sorry, but the feminist wing of PETF won’t let me call womyn “chicks”) to join me in ridding the country of this scourge (including golf Frisbee on unsanctioned courses). I’ll see if the COTR team will let me put up a link where you can donate money for this fine cause. Think of the eyes you can save with your donation of $500 or more.
Venice, CA, is doing it’s bit to fall into line with preventing people enjoying themselves locally.

Yea, California is so lame – especially Los Angeles County (I can say that – I grew up in a LA County city). Just go the Orange County beaches. They are much nicer.
Our politicians make me so sad. We could be such an amazing state. Here in San Diego, we can’t drink on the beaches anymore. We can’t take our kids to ‘children’s pool’ because the crazy seal lovers throw stuff at you. They’ve been threatening for years to charge us to park at the beach, anywhere within ten miles. They’ve also been threatening to take away the fire rings, so no more bonfires (which aren’t as much fun without the beer). This state is so screwed up they reelected an idiot from the seventies to be Governor again. If there was anywhere else in the country like San Diego, I’d move in a heartbeat. But you just can’t beat our weather. Anywhere. And for this I put up with the idiots.
David, you might just be onto something there. As my grandma (God rest her soul) used to say, “it’s all fun and games until you poke someone’s eye out.” And, while I have not had my eye poked out (and neither frisbees nor footballs seem to be a likely culprit for this type of injury), your post got me thinking. I think I am going to start an organization called “People For Stationary Amusement Park Attractions (“PFSAPA”- pronounced “pff- SAP- ah”). This is because I have personally witnessed at least one person very nearly twist their ankle while disembarking from a merry-go-round that had not come to a complete stop yet, I have observed that Ferris wheels have multiple pinch points AND are prone to causing motion sickness, and once, as a child, I had a near miss with a windmill at a miniature golf course. Obviously the solution to all of this is to remove the hazardous motion from these types of diversions!
NERF the world!!
Skiv, that’s one law that – if California were to pass it – I’d absolutely support. I would absolutely advocate for a law that forces Californians to stop breathing.
Yet the same people that passed this are the ones most likely screaming about obeseity, then they go limit peoples ability to exercise on a public beach. smooth move exlax.
The land of fruits, flakes and nuts is at it again!
I’ve been to a couple of LA beaches during the summer, kind of stupid to pass a law preventing football or frisbee when they are so packed you can’t even find a place to lay down.
This is so STUPID, I don’t even know where to start. So, I’m going to go to part b of the law.
So…it’s a “part-time” law? Only to be enforced during the summer? Did they define summer? Is it June 21-Sept 21? What if there is an oddly warm day in April that brings the beaches to full capacity? Will the law be enforced then? Or will they use the capacity of the beach as a barometer as to whether or not to enforce it?
Remind me again who elects these board members that make these laws?
David: HAHAHAHA!
This sounds suspiciously like a new revenue source rather than law that deals with actual problems.
Tim
That sums up MOST law passed by any municipality….at least below state level. Fines no longer are for restitution, just revenue.
In fat too many jurisdictions, police are the new irs. Here in my state, there are towns so known for being speed trap towns that one lost a lawsuit over it and was forced to fork over well over 1 mil. Speed drops from 55 to 30, partially covered by a tree, with a cop hiding behind it, ready to hit ya with a ticket. In some small towns here, speeding tickets generated more revenue than property taxes.
Here in my home town, the current racket is to give a ticket for something you didn’t do. Either you pay it or go to court and “prove” your innocence (thought we’re innocent until proven guilty? Think again)…. In which case the ticket is cut in half and remains on your record. I’ve been hit with it, seat belt ticket. I know folks who get tail light tickets when their lights are working, lots of speeding tickets, etc. Ticking offenders raises alot of money, but not as much as ticketing NONoffenders, a larger pool.
David W – lol

That was my first thought.
My second thought is this is going to hurt economically as well.
207 BC: Chrysippus, a Greek stoic philosopher, is believed to have died of laughter after giving his donkey wine then seeing it attempt to eat figs.
1410: Martin of Aragon died from a combination of indigestion and uncontrollable laughing.
1660: Thomas Urquhart, Scottish aristocrat, polymath and first translator of Rabelais into English, is said to have died laughing upon hearing that Charles II had taken the throne.
1556: Pietro Aretino “is said to have died of suffocation from laughing too much.”
1975: Alex Mitchell, a 50-year-old from Norfolk, England, died laughing while watching The Goodies. A particular scene had caused Mitchell to laugh nonstop for twenty-five minutes before dying of heart failure.
1989: Ole Bentzen, a Danish audiologist, died laughing while watching A Fish Called Wanda.
2003: Damnoen Saen-um, a Thai ice cream salesman, is reported to have died while laughing in his sleep at the age of 52. His wife was unable to wake him, and he stopped breathing after two minutes of continuous laughter.
There you have it, over two thousand years of proof that laughter kills (fyi all sources taken from Wikipedia). California needs to ban and/or fine anyone who laughs or causes anyone to laugh. It’s obviously too dangerous an activity.
ROP: That was a fascinating list!
Unfortunately as a Californian I am in no danger of dying from laughing.
If things continue on as they have been maybe some day in the not to distant future, the government will tell us where we can live and pick our husbands or wives. Maybe they’ll decide some of of us will stay single. They can decide how many children we can have if any and pick thier names for us. Perhaps they will tell us where to work and for how long. Oh the possibilities are endless! When we are no longer useful to the collective they will pass a mandatory dying age. Just a little injection. Won’t hurt a bit. Then they will be able to better control the rest of the drones. We won’t have to think or want or imagine any longer. The government will do that for us. They will protect us from ourselves. Won’t it be wonderful
If you say you’re ‘Occupying’ the beach, are you allowed full reign of the place?
Lex Luthor in Superman I may have had the right idea…
