    Sitting in the subway with your legs spread open is now a crime. First arrest was made yesterday.

    I agree and disagree on this, I mean I can understand that people find it annoying when someone takes up two seats. But you can just ask if they can make space for you to sit too. If they choose to ignore this, then just find another place to sit or stand.

    TL;DR : You are not allowed to sit with your legs spreaded, because males/females can find it disgusting/ Or because it takes up two seats instead of one.

    I find it funny on how people will go and fix this problem first rather than the problems which have been there for ages and are actually much worse than this lol.

    The angry Tumblr girls win. This is an absolutely ridiculous. There are many more problems that need to be fixed such as human trafficking, homelessness and police brutality in the US. Sure its rude to take up extra space on a crowded train, but this is seriously not where money needs to be spent. America, land of the free.

    Because Texas has 0 crime.

    Clearly your source of information is not very reliable and extremely right-wing.

    Edit: Not saying there's anything wrong with right-wing, just want to inform that his source is manipulating.

    O really?
    The president is trying to ban "all" guns? lol
    Also the crime rate in Texas is obviously not zero. Any/most all internet sources prove otherwise.
    What point are you trying to make when you mock all of the injuries/deaths? More than one person has died in Baltimore recently. If you count civilian deaths, natural or homicide. You really didn't clarify whose death you were talking about so yeah.
    You can't bash the president based on biases and propaganda without sounding uninformed and ignorant.
    Not trying to be rude but that is the truth.

    This is nothing compared to this:
    In the whatever day, some random USA G-man (government man) buys a picture made by a random dude for 42 500 000$.
    This is the picture.

    Our nation is being literally torn apart by terrorism, instead, we're more worried about how people sit.

    Honestly, pathetic.

    I personally find spreading out legs disgusting.

    Some people don't take care of the stuff down there, thus making it smell bad.

    To borrow some inspiration from JonTron...
    There are shootings and bombings on innocents that we don't have any control over. Is shooting children okay? I guess so, so long as the shooter doesn't spread his legs on a subway train.

    Honestly. We have better things to worry about than a butthurt person who has to stand for maybe 20 minutes tops.

    That must explain why the URL has the year 2014


    Anyway, that seems kind of ridiculous, being arrested for sitting a certain way. ._.

    I don't find it disgusting because I tend not to do it. Well, besides school sometimes, but being that it's an all-boy school...

    Personally, I don't care if America has lots of other more important issues. They aren't necessarily neglecting those issues just because they're taking a look at this one. Anyone who's saying how this is limiting our freedom should take in mind that too much freedoms is bad for everyone. I would not only be fine wth, but would also accept a restrictive country so long as the restrictions are beneficial to the whole.
    As a daily train-goer myself, I often find people putting their bags on the seat next to them. It's really annoying. You know, people want to be able to sit there... Your bag doesn't need a seat. There's a space under the seat for a reason. I don't care if people find it offensive - that has no bearing on me. But if it takes up space on a crowded train, then that's wrong because you're denying people space that they deserve to have.

    I have no objections to this being passed. Is it really as big as other, more important problems? No. But so long as it's a step in the right direction, what need I care?

    The only music to my ears these days was that the leader of Isis is dead from what I heard.

    Comment disposed. Thanks for the constructive criticism.

    It may be a step in the right direction, but there's a lot of more relevant issues to be putting money into. Of course our freedoms are not being stripped from up, but this really should have only gone as far as posters put up by local supporters and not government action
