I still find it odd they require no eye test, that either allows the blind drivers licenses. Joel Send a noteboard - 26/12/2012 08:58:57 PM
I don't even have to get the photo changed (it is about 15 years old). I haven't had a drivers liscense eye exam since I was 15 1/2 andd got my learners permit. I wear glasses now, I didn't then.

You can renew/replace your license online? I am not sure how to feel about that. For some reason I had to surrender mine to replace it with a Norwegian equivalent, and am wondering whether I can just get it replaced next time I am in TX, or must retake the whole test. I have not bothered to check though, because I know I must retake the eye exam regardless, and, as you note, cannot do so from the other side of an ocean.

Along with "motor voter" which would allow you to register to vote, but of course there are no illegal aliens voting in Tennessee elections... never mind the cottage industry of tour buses that traveled from south Texas to Memphis (where you could visit a Post Office Express, get your no ID motor-voter license {test offerd in Spanish}, apply for TN-Care {medicaid} and food stamps all in about 2 hours).

I believe you may be conflating separate issues. Pretty sure the last thing this thread needs is another partisan wedge issue. ;)

When guns are a big national issue, how do reporters & pundits not know facts about them? - 21/12/2012 05:33:14 PM 1539 Views
You don't hunt by walking into a classroom and shooting 20 deer - 21/12/2012 05:56:16 PM 992 Views
You're actually not right on that one - 21/12/2012 07:49:53 PM 920 Views
That wasn't the point I was making - 21/12/2012 09:49:40 PM 865 Views
You should probably clarify it then - 21/12/2012 10:47:26 PM 1022 Views
His post was perfectly clear. Yours seemed like a response to an entirely different post. - 21/12/2012 10:53:39 PM 1177 Views
Explain that remark, it is not obvious to me *NM* - 21/12/2012 11:00:10 PM 529 Views
I think - 21/12/2012 11:13:34 PM 852 Views
Thats' easy, there is simply no such thing as a 'hunting rifle' - 21/12/2012 11:17:41 PM 860 Views

Oh I wasn't commenting on the standard of people here - 21/12/2012 11:29:36 PM 842 Views
you're largely correct, which is why we need stronger laws on ownership not guns per se - 21/12/2012 09:39:14 PM 831 Views
I can't think of a better reason than self defense - 21/12/2012 10:33:26 PM 890 Views

If you knew all that - 21/12/2012 11:02:38 PM 880 Views
I think you are on the right track, but to the wrong destination; "lethal weapon" is redundant. - 21/12/2012 11:05:29 PM 863 Views
My read is that the 2nd Amendment not only allows, but mandates, cop-killer bullets. - 22/12/2012 12:45:04 AM 903 Views
Does the Second Amendment protect the rights of felons and the mentally incompetent to have guns? - 22/12/2012 02:35:16 AM 1068 Views
Yes the media is using terms incorrectly but the point still stands. - 22/12/2012 03:02:18 AM 795 Views

I took a driving exam when I was 16, and have never been tested since, nor will I ever be. - 23/12/2012 01:17:05 PM 970 Views
Never is a long time; just renewing a license requires retaking the eye exam most places. - 23/12/2012 02:16:54 PM 889 Views
Rather hard to do an eye exam online or through the mail. - 26/12/2012 03:08:06 PM 972 Views
Yes, it is, which is why I have always had to go by DPS for a new license. - 26/12/2012 03:50:04 PM 799 Views
Tennessee and Florida pass them out like candy. For several years TN offered a no ID license - 26/12/2012 08:02:39 PM 807 Views

Laws against murder failed to prevent that, too; clearly they are ineffective and should be repealed - 22/12/2012 06:02:24 AM 986 Views
Such laws were never intended for prevention, they define actions that will be punished. *NM* - 23/12/2012 12:57:57 PM 561 Views
So do laws against getting a gun without screening, training and certification. - 23/12/2012 02:01:32 PM 806 Views
Then CHANGE the Constitution, don't ignore it. *NM* - 26/12/2012 03:12:11 PM 495 Views
I am not suggesting either changing or ignoring the Constitution. - 26/12/2012 04:01:02 PM 914 Views
Yes you are. - 26/12/2012 08:06:01 PM 715 Views

You are wrong. - 22/12/2012 12:14:40 PM 890 Views
That explains much; I read somewhere Brits are averse to it. - 22/12/2012 01:17:15 PM 812 Views
We're also averse to being wrong. - 22/12/2012 02:53:49 PM 892 Views

What bemuses me about this thing with Adam Lanza, is that his mother had 5 registered guns - 23/12/2012 07:10:26 AM 908 Views

LOOK, look, there is another one... - 26/12/2012 03:13:45 PM 821 Views
I find the absolutist ant/pro-gun positions equally dangerous and absurd. - 26/12/2012 04:20:37 PM 796 Views
So we should just *kinda* ignore the Constitution *this* time... But what about NEXT time... - 26/12/2012 08:08:12 PM 783 Views
No, we should enact gun regulation the Constitution explicitly empowers. - 26/12/2012 09:02:12 PM 797 Views
Which would be... NONE. *NM* - 27/12/2012 04:31:53 PM 500 Views

The instant it becomes relevant, I shall. - 28/12/2012 11:45:01 PM 985 Views
Your point being? - 27/12/2012 10:47:29 AM 780 Views
Facts are irrelevant when FUD is the order of the day. - 24/12/2012 04:34:18 PM 787 Views
