The fact that my neighbor does work on Saturday is destroying my weekend...
What is the agenda of these Sabbath breakers? Perhaps a Constitutional amendment is in order.

1. They are making a bad example for the
children. When the children see that others break the Sabbath without conseqences, they will grow up to be Sabbath-scoffers as well.

2. Tell me about it!
My nextdoor neighbor is retired and has all week to mow his lawn. But, nooooo...what does he do instead? He f**king mows it on Saturday morning!!! I'm laying in bed, recuperating from a hectic week when suddenly...vvvvROOOOM!!! the mower starts up and he begins traversing the yard just feet from my bedroom window! ARRGGGHHHH!!!:grr:

I think it's high time for a Constitutional amendment restricting his right to mow his lawn on the weekend. I wouldn't even mind it if the Repubs introduced this kind of amendment, since it would be right up their alley to proposed changing the Constitution to limit what the individual citizen can do...

3. But, but, but
What are all those illegal immigrants going to do for work on the weekends? They'll have to give up their third jobs.

6. Why not
upgrade your window to a two or three pane one then you both will be happy, he can mow his lawn and you don't have to hear it.

4. The only answer is to abolish work altogether.
Universal welfare for all! We can borrow the money from China.

Work only emboldens the terrorists.

5. Or we could create a second class of days off - he could have "structured Sabbath"
so he can work, but you can know the Sabbath is still sacred. :-)

9. You Think YOU Got Problems.
I STRONGLY suspect MY neighbors have been eating lobster. I'm gathering stones as we speak.
