I believe they make plugs, not for this reason but it couldn't hurt to try.

I strongly agree with the comments of the honourable representative from The almighty mcbain. It is clear that not only is this disgraceful behaviour an abbhorrant social sin, yet it also damages our welfare, quality of life and environment. I propose that the U.N. act immediately in putting forwards laws that shall ensure that a dramatic (say 25%) reduction in public flatulance be achieved over a period of 5 years. Measures could include the prohibition of the cultivation of Brussel's Sprouts, Cauliflower and a halt in the production of baked beans. Furthermore, any offender guilty of three public episodes or instances of flatulance, shall be executed on the spot for his crimes against good manner's and polite society.

May the blessings of our otters be upon you.

Some days, you get up, you feel good, the day goes perfectly, etc

Other days, you get up and see some of the most ludicrous shit ever contrived.

Seriously, farting? Considering only a percentage of farts you can actually hear go off (and that percentage will drop with such laws) so that finding the farter is extraordinarily difficult, add on that most police officers will need to fart once in a while, add on that a bathroom is a public place that a lot of people fart in. Add on that your O-zone claim is extraordinarily weak (a lot of animals including humans have farted for a lot of years, but only recently has the o-zone become a real issue - yes it can effect the ozone, but it doesn't skew the balance of the ozone like, say, CFCs do), and your first argument is actually a moral decency argument, I'd say you're trying to sneak a moral decency resolution in as an environmental resolution - and a ridiculous one at that.

Oh, and to answer the question posed, no I have not. If I do end up in the unfortunate situation where someone farted at the next table over, I shrug my shoulders and move on - it'll be better in 2 minutes.

Assuming the room has good air circulation. ;)

I have a hard time believing that many people spend a nice night out in a public broom closet - that's about how little circulation you need for there not to be an issue

You must come out with me some time. I could show a few things.

I think Terrance and Philip would have a big issue with this.

THAT would be a GREAT card

I also agree with the almighty mcbain. We should put a stop to pollution farting. I'm trying to think how, though. Because.....well....you see, my ideas are kinda stupid. so I'm not going to say them. Honestly, you're not gonna get anything outta me!

Reasons why:

1. As I said before, my ideas are stupid.
2. What's the point saying them on here anyway, well, if I dont want to.
3. Well, actually, it's a forum, so you're supposed to say stuff.

BUT I WON'T SAY ANYMORE!

THAT would be a GREAT card

Ask and ye shall receive. ;)

If you want to ban this purely bodily funtion (which is next to impossible, ever tried holding one in?), then you should start with cows, not people.

Apparently in RL, there is talk that methane produced by cattle is affecting air quality world wide and attributing to the greenhouse effect. I don't know whether to believe that or not, but it makes for an interesting read :D .
