But they want to change energy plans based on what a 17 year old thinks. These people are confused.

How about moving cars automatically shutting down cell phones? At least in the drivers seat if that is possible.

Dumbass author of the bill:

[Manuel OKelley]

How about people just be responsible rather than another law?

All my normal driver vehicles (the tshtf truck excluded) all have Bluetooth hands free and my primary long distance work car has car play that is voice activated and controlled. Less distracting than changing a radio station

Now if I could just get it to support outlook I’d be set

[Rurudyne]

Well, there’s still dumb phones...

Whatever happened to the days when a parent would tell their kid, "You can have one when you're 18 and not under the roof of my house. I wheeled the shit to bring you into this world, and I can take you out. Now go mow the lawn."

Optional, but it always worked on me. Now we got nanny-ticians wanting to make it the law of the land.

[Manuel OKelley]

How about not? Probably easily overridden as well

For a bunch of conservatives I sure see a lot of folks who want the govt to ban stuff

Vermont, ConservaTeen has a cell phone. He been using a cell for 5 years now for his lawn service/ pool cleaning service. Sorry, what’s next, banning teens from making real maple syrup?

If the ban passes the suicide rate will skyrocket. I took my daughter’s phone for one month as a punishment and she thought she would die.

Go to the link in post #1 for the list of things DemocRats want to ban.

[heavy metal]

uh yeah, it’s commonly referred to as college...

[napscoordinator]

To call parents or police during mass shootings or other emergencies. I’m glad my kids have them.

I think this state senator is trying to make a mockery of the increase in age to 21 to do many things.

[Secret Agent Man]

but she really didn’t though.

i think people sayng they want to die will go up, but if they really just want their phones they like your daughter, actually wont kill themselves.

[SkyDancer]

So they want to ban college age kids from having cellphones. Hmmm

[rollo tomasi]

If I was living in Vermont and have a middle-school/high school age child and their teacher goes on a Marxists rant, I would like to be notified right away (Sooner you nip that crap in the bud to the superiors/Reps, the better).

See posts 23 & 25. John Rodgers is doing more than some Republicans in Vermont to ensure we retain our 2nd Amendment rights. He’s a real Vermonter, unlike most of the rest of our Statehouse, who came from MA, CT, NY, NJ, CA etc.

Excuse me, but what about teens who are in business? ConservaTeen isn't the only teen who has is own business...His cousin makes birdhouses (he wants to be a builder of homes, and his birdhouses are little homes...) He has a cell phone...

It is unlawful!!!

[Deplorable American1776]

Sorry, but see my reply above...It should be up to the parents if they want their kids to have a cell phone. Teens are running businesses now. A teen don’t want their parents to answer for their businesses...

[Mastador1]

Why do schools allow kids to have phones while there?

So the kids can call mom, dad and the police when the nutjobs show up to kill them?
