What a Paradise NYC has created by passing laws (Propane tanks outlawed for buildings)

[Gen.Blather]

Years ago there was a science fiction story titled, “With folded hands.” Alien robots came to Earth with the intention of serving man and keeping him safe. People loved it. So, by the time people understood what they meant by keeping them safe, it was too late. The robots wouldn’t allow people to do anything for themselves because it was too dangerous. As I recall the story ends with a guy being chauffeured in his car and the robot is explaining man’s role, to be kept safe. Never to be allowed to do anything for themselves ever again. He folds his hands and stares out the window.

I despise New York.

Anything in the Regs about pressure cookers?

Next they’ll raid your homes looking for your grandmas pressure cookers

I realized the historical America had ended with the first few elections after 9/11. For the people most affected, it made no difference at all in their voting patterns. If bodies raining down didn’t wake them up, nothing will. We’re just trying to ease the pain. The prognosis is certain.

Dimension X - With Folded Hands

YouTube link:
Dimension X was an NBC radio program broadcast on an unsponsored, sustaining basis from April 8, 1950 to September 29, 1951. The first 13 episodes were broadcast live, and the remainder were pre-recorded. Fred Wiehe and Edward King were the directors, and Norman Rose was heard as both announcer and narrator (his famous opening: "Adventures in time and space... told in future tense...").

I have to agree with miss marmelstein on this one. Manhattan island is essentially a sea of tall buildings crammed next to each other (pocketed with a bunch of really nice parks). This isn't your typical suburban backyard situation.

I'm the first one to complain about stupid laws but common sense still needs to prevail. You wouldn't want me to erect a 55-story residential tower in your small town and New Yorkers living in one wouldn't want some dumbass grilling hot dogs and burgers on the patio of his 37th floor apartment with a propane grill.

Besides, this is New York! You are surrounded by thousands of restaurants and the best food in the world. Nobody really cooks at home. Even if you just want a simple grilled hot dog, why you can go out on the sidewalk and take your pick among the countless number of food carts and food trucks. Get a dirty hot dog for a dollar or two if you feel daring.

Those liberals think that criminals will obey any law. They’re some kind of stupid.

[Does so]

A family member lived on the 2nd floor of three-story building which was starting to fill with “immigrants”. She sold out when the glowing remains of a charcoal grill fire poured past her window!

I will take my choice of guns over food carts any day of the week. Not even close.

To me, NYC is no longer part of America.

Heck, I can step out back and make my own. What a concept!

So can anybody with a deck and backyard. Here is a video I took just yesterday of my own backyard and grill. And despite your snarkiness, you (and any Freeper) are always welcome over for a burger and beer if you are in the NYC area.

On the 37th floor of a 55-story high-rise in Mid-town Manhattan, you pretty much have to go out on the street for your grilled hot dog. Sorry about that. Maybe you shouldn't buy an apartment there.

[Kirkwood]

I’ll bet you raise your own cattle in your apartment as well. They outlawed that in NYC.

[9YearLurker]

It is already forbidden to bring the tanks inside.

Country Freepers sometimes get carried away with what is a reasonable precaution in NYC.

[miss marmelstein]

I’m a dirty water hotdog girl, myself. Everything you say is true; common sense above all.

My apartment is on 2nd Avenue and 25th - very close to Madison Square Park and Chelsea. No one has mentioned that it is the hub of the gay community in NYC - Orlando, anybody?

I hope they catch the bastard who did this but we need tough leaders and immigration crackdowns and deportations. I’ll have to stay put in suburbia today because I won’t be able to battle crosstown.

[Gen.Blather]

I was born in ‘54. I remember gathering around the old tube radio to listen to the total immersion broadcast of “Gunsmoke.” I am sure there were others but that one is the clearest memory. It sure beat television. Thanks.

No sir, the Liberals know that if they pass enough absurd laws, no one will be able to obey them all. Thus making criminals out of everyone, even them. Of course, then they will enforce these laws on whom they please. They will then use these laws against their political enemies. If you need an example, look at Hillary Clinton vs. ordinary citizens that ran afoul of the same law[s] she ignored.

"Make America Grill Again."

[miss marmelstein]

About a year ago, in the Metro section of the Times, they ran an article about a Manhattanite raising chickens in her Chelsea apartment! It was an approving piece, too.

Hubby is a retired firefighter. There are certain things he won’t allow. No shake roofs. When we bought a boat we took the propane stove out and replaced it with an electric cooktop and convection oven. We do keep the tiny propane on board for the marine bbq.

When I lived briefly in Bayside, Queens, the Greek family 3 doors down spit roasted their Paschal lamb in a home made 55 gal drum roaster on the tiny front lawn, 100 feet from LIRR station. Outstanding aroma.

No one complained, but there was a whole lot of salivating going on.
