Jig-A-Loo illegal in California

Well, I never liked Jig-a-loo anyway. It comes in this silly orange can that puts me off.

It hurts my eyes when I look at the sun. We should ban the sun. Also we should ban lightbulbs because you can hurt your eyes looking at those. But we might as well just do a blanket ban and ban the cause of that light, photons. Also, protons are related to radiation (which is related to light!!!) which is related to cancer, so we should ban protons. And hydrogen has a proton, so we should ban hydrogen. Hey, water has hydrogen in it, we need to ban water. ****, since protons and photons are banned, I say we should ban all particles. I won't be happy until the universe is completely rid of matter. Also, energy is connected with matter, so we'll ban that. Screw thermodynamics, we're getting rid of matter and energy. [/useless]

... Banning 'harmful' things is stupid, unless you're restricting access for a very young child who wouldn't know what's dangerous. If you're stupid enough to do something dangerous (drugs, fast driving, etc.) and die, you deserved it. I know that sounds extreme, but as far as I'm concerned it is true. If you inhale deadly gases, I don't care. Someone I knew died from doing that, trying to get high. Good riddance, one less stupid person.

People need to stop looking towards the government to become a nanny state, admit to their own stupidity and irresponsibility, and stop relegating those responsibilities to the government.

Any banning of Jig-a-Loo is irrelevant to me, besides the ethics behind it. I don't think Jig-a-Loo is even sold in Australia. At least I finally found some CRC.

That was a LITTLE extreme, but that first paragraph was one of the funniest things I've ever read in my life.


I disagree. We are surrounded by harmful substances every day. Its our responsibility to protect ourselves. I don't go chugging gasoline from the pump when I refill my car, but if I did it would probably kill me.

Yes, It would.

Anyone read PopSci? In the Nov. 2009 Issue, they talked about all the harmful substances we take in every day.

What the @#!$ is your immune system for, anyway?!

I have a question about different lubes.

Since Jig-A-Loo will soon be illegal in my state, I heard that RC Shock Oil is a good alternative to Silicone Spray.

Does anyone know how it makes cubes feel?

If you have ever lubed a cube with Vaseline, it's kind of like that. It feels pretty good in my own opinion, however it's not something you want to get carried away with.

Yeah, it gives more resistance to the sides. So you have to push harder to turn a side. I hate it.

Ok thanks guys. I now know that I have to stick with CRC after 2010.

NEXT YEAR'S Christmas gift, lol.

And I really would like to point something out. Jig-a-loo is being banned not only for health reasons, but for ENVIRONMENTAL reasons. They do this because the manufacturing and the use of chemicals such as perch and methylene are terrible for the planet, so California is actually doing something right in banning, not only jigaloo, but many other products that contain chemicals like perch and methylene.

Please consider that, don't go on rambling about how plastic bags could also be illegal along with water or whatever XD.

umm, if they are banning perchloroethylene and methylene chloride, doesn't it mean that all other silicone lubricants are also banned?
 
violent movies like the Terminator is harmful too, kids who watched it will become influenced by the violence and become killing-machine robots.

According to wikipedia (my favorite source):

"For environmental and health safety reasons, the State of California will ban the use of perchloroethylene and methylene chloride in multi-purpose lubricants such as Jig-A-Loo effective Dec 31, 2010 and the sale of remaining inventory will be banned effective Dec 31, 2013."

This tells me that yes, CRC might be banned as well. We should protest. Tell the government that we'll leave if they do this. Or use Maru lube lol.
