Must be a local problem. There are lemonade stands all over the place where I live - and nobody who bothers kids or parents about them.

I have no clue as to what the OP is alluding to, but parents should always operate on the side of caution. Just ask this family...

In NJ you need a license to take a dump, then you need 30 continuing educating dumping credits if you want to take additional dumps. No wonder we are 50th in worst business atmospheres ever.

I'm very surprised the liberal la-la states have not regulated slumber parties!
What are you talking about?

Where is this supposedly happening?

I currently work in child welfare and I've never heard of anything remotely like this in any state or municipality anywhere. I'm most curious to hear if this is an actual occurrence or just the OP pulling BS out of their butt.

Apparently having a republican governor doesn't help.

True. I'm disappointed. I stick to my NJ motto: NJ would be a paradise if the politicians had not literally destroyed it.

That could be true, politics here is nothing like what I am use to in Oregon. It is a bit of a rats nest here and it seems like the politicians are too lazy or too concerned about their own image to correct it. Christie is a great example, you can tell Christie does things that makes Christie look good. I think he really cares about New Jersey, but in the end he cares more about Christie.

Oh and I like your tag line, a great little 1984 reference. It is one of my favorite books.

I believe this thread is a response to the one about "illegal" underground parties in NY.
