    Are we turning into our parents??? Dinner conversations usually include, "when I was your age", we: had only 13 channels on t.v., we had to get up to change the channel, to watch a movie we had to leave the house, no helmets for riding your bike, our real cool video game was PONG......Just to name a few

    Going to Buckout after getting your license, was like a rite of passage...I remember going there on numerous occasions with my buddies and "unsuspecting" girls, just to scare the hell out of them. One myth that I remember was, if you stopped your car on one of the X's and shut it off, you wouldn't be able to start it again, thus allowing the albino's to come out and get you.....Great thread and alot of memories from along time ago....

    It's time for this country to stop being afraid of people who legally carry firearms. The anti-gun lobby scares the public into believing that guns, and the people who carry them, are bad. NYS has some of the most restrictive firearm laws in the nation and in my opinion, if you're found to be qualified to obtain a license, you should be able to carry unrestricted. Instead of trying to enact laws whenever there is a highly publicized case involving a firearm, enforce the laws that are already on the books. The comparison is always made between guns and cars. You need a license for both, there can be accidents with both, and neither can be considered dangerous, unless someone is operating them. The one difference between the two is that one is a right, the other is a priveledge.

    I also agree. The blue light is only a "courtesy" light and I found out years ago that people aren't very courteous in NY. All they do is confuse people, in particular, at traffic intersections where people stop in all directions and hence, no traffic flows. I have one, which i rarely , if ever use.

    I have a friend who is a volunteer fireman in the state of Georgia, where volunteers have their personal vehicles listed as "emergency" response vehicles and as such are authorized the use of red lights (including wig wags) and sirens. If anything thats what the state should authorize volunteers in both the fire and EMS to use. Anything else is most likely useless.

    If NY allowed what Georgia does, it would look and sound, like a major catastrophe was going on every time the FD or VAC was paged out. I realize not everyone buff's out, but if this door was opened, I'd want stock in Gall's.....
