			We can avoid more senseless seat slaughter by enacting box cutter control! 
Our only opposition is the National Emo Association, who claim that box cutters are for relieving stress, not for cutting up innocent seats.       |   |   |   |      |  01-02-2013, 02:56 AM | #5 |   | Where's my RS Christmas Lobster?!

People don't kill people. Cutters kill people. Lets prevent another 9/11 and ban box cutters.

			last week the train stopped on the tracks at 1 am.  some guy kept pressing the emergency button, about 400 times, trying to get an operater not realzing that everytime he pressed the button he was hanging up on the guy.  His reason?
 He was going to miss his fucking bus home.
 
 I had to deal with 30 minutes of this guy pressing the fucking button.

 |  he's probably unemployed.  
i call it the reddit theory  
Have issues in their own life that have nothing to do with conspiracies.  Can't get employed because he's a fucking weirdo/dumb/generally creepy.  
Blames the Jews, spews all his hate on the internet.

$40 - 1 employee/hour (wage + e.i. + c.p.p. + benefits + office)  
$25 - 1 shop space/hour (net monthly cost of electricity, water, maintenance/working hours)  
$35 - 1 institutional upholstered plastic seat shell (institutional = expensive, because of lower production volumes)
