I am glad I am not your neighbour. Clearly if you choose to live in proximity to your fellow creatures, you must face the fact that you will know they are there by the noises their lives make.

No. If you chooose to live in proximity to your fellow creatures, you must fact the fact that there will be rules to help prevent conflict.

If you want to make a lot of noise, move away from people to a place in the country where no one will be around to care.

Then you can punish them. That's the really neat part, isn't it?

And if we have no rules, you can live in your anarchist paradise, can't you?

Listen, it has nothing to with punishment. I keep my noise in check and would like to be shown the same courtesy. If my neighbors are polite, they'll do that.

Most of the noise I put up with comes from people that simply don't care how loud or irritating they are to those around them.

And finally, who the hell are you to decide how a community goes about governing itself? If a community wants cameras and noise detectors, that's their business. Not yours.

It seems to me that your objections to the techniques used by these communities is itself a form a nannyism. You think you know better than they do, don't you? That's the spirit of nannyism.

I must reiterate, I am glad you are not my neighbour. Your short fuse is probably a pretty good indication of just how little it takes to "violate" your property rights. I guess I could say I rest my case, so I wish you well in your orderly and well monitored paradise. Good luck with that. LOL

Got to agree with you mc6809e.

I have a feeling that those who think you're advocating some fascist utopia are probably noise pests themselves, and don't know it.

If the people could be "reasoned" with, they wouldn't be making the noise in the first place.

You're either brought up to be considerate, or you're not. If you confront the "nots" they believe it's you that has the problem...

Are you arguing that the airwaves are private property? Or are they community property? If they are community property, then I and all other citizens have a right to listen in on the sounds those microphones collect, correct?
