Liberals feel like they are entitled to everything too. Can I ban everything they want?

It is utterly amazing, if a Conservative doesn’t want their kids to have ice cream, they tell them no. If a Liberal doesn’t want their kids to have ice cream, they want it banned for everybody!

And if a Conservative doesn’t want their kids to have marijuana, they ... ?

We usually had a stock of ice-cream and popsicles in our freezer. One child in our neighborhood was running to the truck and got hit by it. She was a vegetable for many yrs . Her family kept trying to rehab her but she finally died. When I was very very little, Ice-cream novelties came on a bicycle cart with a jingle bell. That was much more fun (getting milk was more fun with the horse-drawn trucks, too).
Just keep them in the parks and out of the neighborhood streets.

The food police are real and they will be supported and welcomed by this nutcase of a “mom” who cant discipline her kid so she wants to ban everyone’s fun.

Truly a brainwashed sheep, who thinks that ONE ice cream will cause a kid to become diabetic.. after all that’s what she sees on tv.

I do with our city would ban the obnoxious electronic music, or issue citations under current public-nuisance statutes.

Some neighbors of ours referred to it as the "Music Truck." That worked for a while. Then the kids saw someone walk away from the music truck with ice cream and the kids knew the truth.

People from Brooklyn used to kill Nazis. Now, at least some prefer to emulate them.

“Whats so hard about that?”

Because there is no parenting anymore—just bffs until a “parental” unit doesn’t just hand it over anymore.

When I was a kid either we had ice cream in the fridge or no money to buy anything....living on a dead end road that ding-dong truck used to taunt us with his pied piper melodies.

After that truck came down the street a few times we had enough and all us neighborhood kids would run to the truck but stop 20 ft short and just stare at him....I think we did that 3 times or so - he never came back.:>)

So many of life's little problems could be resolved, if only society had a more relaxed attitude about justifiable homicide!

Ya know, when I was a kid, the ice cream truck came along and I got in my mom’s face for the Ice cream.

Once

Never happened again

She didn’t have to let dad know

She handled it

OUCH

Didn’t try it again

parental responsibilty seems to be beyond these folks

Typical liberals: I cannot control myself against my impulses, so I must control society to remove the temptations.

“These parents are tired of listening to their children cry, scream and throw tantrums when they’re denied a sugary ice cream.”

Funny, we never had that problem with our kids. Then again, we did spank them.
