7/24 How do you buy contact lenses online without dealing with an
optomotrist? It seems that the sites that used to let you fake your
doctor info have "cracked down" on people exercising their right
to freely purchase products.
\_ My god! Are you people that cheap? Just go to an eye doctor
and get an examination. It's probably a better idea than
self-prescribing your own contacts. Many health plans will
cover it too.
\_ spoken like someone who's mommy and daddy are paying for
(paid for) his college education.
\_ of course not. i have no objection to paying for services,
i just object to being *forced* by the government to pay
for those services. should i be forced at gunpoint to go
to a podiatrist before I buy shoes? or a dentist before
i buy a toothbrush? where does it end? I know exactly
what my prescription is, and know exactly which brand i've had
great luck with for the last ten years of wearing contacts.
every time a law is written to force people to pay money for
services they don't want or need to protect some special interest
we take one step closer to tyrany.
\- the problem are the industries which self-regulate [sic].
see e.g. nolo v. texas --psb
\_ self regulate? you understand that there's a federal law
\-well naturally part of self-regulation has to do with
limiting competition by legal barriers. --psb
preventing free(as in freedom) purchase of contacts, right?
i can actually go to jail for trying to buy little pieces
of plastic to help me see better. oh, and you know what
else? i can go to jail for buying my cotacts from a
canadian store, thanks to the policy passed by mr.
"free trade" bush. so here's a big "fuck you" to all you
libertarians who vote for bush as a "lesser evil."
\_ No libertarian would vote for bush. It is funny to
contrast the apologist way the Greens talk about nader
vs the almost weekly mails i get from the libs saying
"hey, some article says we are taking votes away from
bush, isn't that great!" -phuqm
\_ Tell ilya that.
\_ Didn't I tell you already I am voting Nader?
-- ilyas
\_ Are you serious?
\_ Yes, I am splitting the liberal vote
in a non-battleground state. -- ilyas
\_ In other news, Satan seen making snowmen!
\_ Wouldn't libertarians vote for the libertarian
candidate and greens for the green one, etc?
\_ I bought mine from http://www.lensmart.com
\_ did they contact your optomotrist or was the transaction free
as in freedom?
\_ I bought them last year. I wasn't aware there's a new
federal law.
\_ Februrary 2004. welcome to the fourth Reich.
\_ Just go get lasik and stop whining about your freedom of whatever.
You'd be the first asshole to sue the online place for destroying
your eyes if you misprescribed yourself.
\_ why don't you go move to some totalitarian state where people
have learned not to whine when their goverment masters control
the petty details of their lives. i'm sure you'll be happier
there. I know I'll be happier when you are gone. -phuqm.
\_ if this is the biggest concern you have about what your
government is doing to you then you live in a utopia. there
are billions of people around the rest of the world who wish
they could live in a place where their biggest gripe is the
government insisted they see an eye doctor as part of their
contact renewal. you, sir, are a big cry baby and have no
clue what a totalitarian state looks like. contact lenses?
get real. the only thing you missed was calling everyone
a nazi. you're a deluded selfish little bratty baby. contact
lenses... totalitarian state... i'm too stunned to go on. |
