Quote from The Llama :
Ok, first off, stop bringing the law into it as if all right and wrong is based on legality since what you're talking about to begin with is the fact that you think the LAW against smoking in a private establishment is not RIGHT.

Second, one of the ways the law got passed initially was based on the fact that there's no way for an employee to opt out of second hand smoke at an establishment and therefor the choice was taken out of their hands, so it's a valid argument.

And third, if you were to bring back smoking at establishments that, say, just opened and they needed to hire people, but it was going to be a smokey environment, then there would most likely be stipulations on who could work there - namely people who don't smoke would be an insurance liability. However, just like you can't ask someone about their personal medical history, you shouldn't be able to ask someone their personal smoking habits.

And as an aside, it would have been an easier argument for me to make that a smoke-full environment is a hostile work environment, and that IS against the law.
laugh out loud Well, just because it's legal doesn't make it right. I agree with that. I actually wish we could get away from looking at the law from a perspective of whether or not it's legal or illegal; we should get back to the mentality of is it lawful or unlawful. Me? I'm for private property rights. I'm not for private property rights as long as there's no smoking going on. I'm not for private property rights as long as the local gov't can't get more tax revenue by shutting down a person's business so a strip mall can come in. I'm an all or nothing type of person. So while I might not agree with what someone does with their property, I'm for their lawful use of it. If it bothers me, I'm all for my right to get the fark out and go somewhere else.

On everything except computer parts and take out food, yeah. I let the bosses of the company that my company worked for convince me to play roulette with them. I lost $200 in less than 2 minutes. Anyone who says "that's nothing" is a farking moron in my opinion, but that's what I heard a lot of. And yet none of them would just give me $200 when I asked for it. I fail to see the difference.
what kind of takeout food do you blow your wad on ?

UGH I'm going to rant

My Gram is so mean and thoughtless to me- no matter what I try to do or how I approach her, I just end up feeling sick and exhausted and angry when I have any contact with her.

I dont like having these negative feelings and I struggle with them. She's old, she wont be here forever, try to be nice to her. And whenever I do, I feel like she gives me a big punch and I regret even considering talking to her again.

So mom asks me how to print coupons on FB for her, so I show her and she's showing me something Gram posted:

WORDS ARE POWERFUL
Words describe love, beauty, caring, dreams and all emotions.
Words can also be very hurtful.
Perhaps this is where the phrase Think Before you speak began.


UMMMMM WTF Gram, you cant be even civil to your family, and you post this crap on FB like you are Norman Vincent Peale or something? Get lost Ranting

and yeah, mom and Gram are on FB, I deleted my account some time ago laugh out loud
when theres more people trying to be your friend then you actually want to be friends with, time to get the hell off of it Annoyed

what if i am your neighbor ansi like to store rotting cat carcasses on the property line. they fester in the sun and attract roaches, maggots, predatory birds, and nuisance animals. In addition to the visual eyesore they create, they smell wretched and the runoff of decaying filth leeches into the stream which you use as a water source in your house.

I do this because i like eating cats and am too lazy to take their carcasses to the dump and i have no issue with them rotting on my property because it doesn't bother me.


yes this is an extreme but we have laws for a reason

just illustrating the point that people can create problems on "their property" which have much larger effects… just as smoking has a much larger impact than the actual smoker

that's tough! she may be trying to internalize that sentiment somehow.

aging can suck....especially the mental decline component. do what you can with it. perhaps write a letter/don't send/clear the way for your healing Comfort

Negative. That's a different scenario than what we are talking about because you are affecting someone else's property against their will. Apples and oranges, my quadruped friend. You should have the right to do what you want on your property. Once it affects my property, then we should look at arbitration or local laws.

And I say "should have" because it's what I want, what use to be, and what I wish we had again. Alas....those days are gone. I was born in the wrong century. Sadwalk

He wanks twice a day so I'm sure he's got a good stockpile.
