Just as soon as people quit electing retards into government positions.

You comparing this issue to anti-smoking ordinances makes less sense than the two parties in the OP. It's really stupid because to me, the conflict isn't about whistling, but about harassment. Common examples in lack of common sense. Crawl back under your bridge.

Not to hijack on another subject, but... The whistling may be irritating to some, but secondhand smoke causes cancer. I am glad every day that I can go out for dinner or a drink and not breathe someone else's choice to get cancer. Smoking is not protected by the Bill of Rights. Just like I cannot burn tires in my backyard. (Assault Smoking).

I would LOVE an ordinance against blowing your nose in a restaurant, but I guess it's their right to be nasty and disgusting.
I think following someone or lingering in one place while whistling or making noise just to get a rise or reaction out of someone is wrong. It is something I'd expect from an 8 year old boy, not a grown-ass man. From an adult, it is a form of harassment.

Your response reminds me of my 5 year olds best comeback..."no, you are!"

I highly doubt he followed her intentionally. He does have headphones on and whistles to the music, remember? she probably said that because a cop told her "unless he's following you and harassing you, I can't do anything.". Cops say that kind of stuff all the time. It's a hint. Kind of like saying "I'm bored. Let's go on a power trip."

I live In Maine and none if the local stations reported this story. From the sounds of it, it goes beyond the rational acceptance of normal everyday whistling...coupled with some mental issue as the story eludes to. I'm sure they wouldn't have charged this guy unless there were serious ongoing issues.

Playing the part of the childish cretin suits you well.

Or maybe it is more proof that we don't agree with you. If you haven't noticed, people suck. And you're one of them.

I'm glad you shared this with me... see the traffic outside my house is loud and annoys me. Sometimes it wakes me up. I should be able to get all the drivers to take an alternate route according to your ideas. It infringes on my right to a sound night's sleep in my house at night. (BTW God through the Constitution does NOT grant me that right) The guy is whistling down the street. Big deal. Uh-oh someone gave him a mean look and he turned around. Better mace him and flog him too, right?
The reason why smoking was banned inside public places was so employees wouldn't have to breathe it. It was a medical hazard that waitresses, airline stewardesses, etc. had to live with as part of their job. That's the reason smoking got banned in many areas. You can still smoke your lungs away while walking down the street. It had nothing to do with a right's infringement.
*shakes head and whistles away* :haha:

Yesterday, I had to go to a liberal town with the wife to do some shopping. (Scored me a new blaze jacket and new mui thai pads, so it was worth it.) We started talking about the guy in Maine and how some bleeding heart liberal had to get him arrested for whistling. Menomonie, WI is an extremely liberal town with the fascist police department, UW-Stout, and Deputy Russel Cragin having a firm grip on the people. Any time you're having a good day, playing lawn darts, mini golf in your yard, baskeball, whatever, they harass you and try to ruin your day. They're the fun police. I made a bet with my wife that I could whistle drug related songs and hippie music and nobody would say anything, but as soon as it turned patriotic, I would get bitched at or told to leave. She took me on and I won $50, which I used to score myself said merchandise.
For the next two hours, I walked around Kmart whistling. It was fairly busy, about 100 people milling around over the course of the two hours. I whistled "Puff the Magic Dragon" loudly. Not a response. I whistled that Raindrops are fallin on my head song really loud, one old guy nodded and smiled. I whistled a few Keith Sweat songs loud enough to have to buy some chapstick, not a peep. But when I whistled the Star Spangled Banner at a medium level, I got sworn at by three people. None of them noticed the P99 on my hip.
