Re: Nice Planet 5: Insert Catchy Title Here

It was a different one about a year or so ago. The little one is going to be basically at a disadvantage due to the scumbag's actions. She's going to have mental and physical problems because of it. He threw against a wall and pounded on her. Like I said, the brother-in-law enjoys making guys like that miserable.

Good. Scumbags like that are somewhat useful. Gives the Livers who got nothing else to do something to release their frustrations out on, and exact some small matter of justice upon those sickos. Personally, I think the prisons would be a lot better if we ran em like how they do down in South America. Guards all on the outside, just to make sure everybody stays inside. Prisoners run the prison themselves.

Re: Nice Planet 5: Insert Catchy Title Here

I smoke an occasional cigar. Particularly in the winter months, there's a brewery close to work which has a ventilated cigar room with leather armchairs and it's own bar. On a random Friday, I'll go shoot the sh*t with some coworkers, imagine I make the big bucks, and savor a nice Dominican cigar and a glass or two of Maker's Mark (sadly, their beer sucks). Michigan's recent indoor public smoking ban, while covering freestanding bars, included an exception for such "ventilated" cigar establishments. As long as they charge a cut fee for the privilege (that bar does), I think bars should be free of all indoor smoking regulations.

If you and I were business partners and wanted to open two coffee shops, one smoking, the other not. Separate buildings with a common parking lot. And employees who had to sign a waiver to work in the smoking building, most cities wouldn't permit that. Why? The do-gooders just wouldn't permit it. The truth of the matter, that most anti-smokng Nazis won't admit, is that they are for prohibition. But they know there's no taste for that in the country and that what happened the last time we tried that would surely happen again. So their tactic is to gradually tighten the screws on smokers in every way possible, with more regulation and taxation and more intrusions into private lives. And they've convinced themselves they're "doing it for your own good." They have similarly convinced themselves that what's good for us is somehow their farking business.

Now they're turning their attention to E-cigarettes. Zero data on possible health consequences to others. Zero fire potential. Zero ugly aroma. "But those dang smokers are still enjoying themselves, and we've just got to put a stop to it somehow." H. L. Mencken again.

Far to many Americans suffer from this ugly delusion. And it's not confined to smoking. Mayor Bloomberg's got a whole list of sh*t he knows is no good for us. And he's doing his best to protect us from ourselves. Like Sam Goldwyn once said: "Include me out."

Haven't read the last five pages because it's all partisan, political bs in a thread designed to be free from just that.

I'm a republican and the republicans in the house are idiots. The president and his followers are milking this shutdown as much as possible.

One day of work lost was bad enough. *** am I supposed to do now when I work for the USAFA. I "visited" Grand Tetons NP last weekend which consisted of driving by and then hiking illegally into the park from the south side.

The Jackson city visitor center was shut down. Not because it's federally funded but because it happens to be on a small strip of federal land.

Cross the line republicans. Quit being dbags about it democrats. F.

Gives me an idea for a new "reality" TV show: "Waaaay Beyond Scared Straight." Have the wanna be teenage punks watch while the lifers beat or cornhole one of these dudes to death. Win. Win. I guarantee good ratings.

The only thing with it is that you would have to train the prisoners to be the crew as well I think. You would need about 24/7 coverage of all the shibby that would go down there, especially at night.

Re: Nice Planet 5: Insert Catchy Title Here

The justification for indoor smoking bans is health risks. Those risks (as subjective as they tend to be) disappear almost entirely out doors. It's not as if there are no other pollutants outdoors. Ozone, CO, CO2, etc. And proponents (whether they'll admit it or not) wind up backing outdoor bans out of "preference" or "setting a good example for children" or other concepts far more nebulous and hard to justify. It's really pretty silly to suggest that in a park, some guy puffing on a cigarette presents any measurable health risk to anyone except himself.

You forgot one source of pollution from outdoor smoking - the butts, which I find completely revolting. I'm perfectly okay with allowing outdoor smoking (as you say, no health risks), but I'd set the fine for flipping a butt at around $10K for the first offense. Your smoking does not affect me or my park, but leaving your disgusting, unsanitary, potentially fire-starting butts behind does.

(my father worked for a company that supplied a very large percentage of the raw material (cellulose ester) that butts are made from, and my whole family was highly involved in the Keep America Beautiful chapter for our city, so butts were a big topic of conversation around our house - it was appalling the fraction of the litter that was composed of butts after any clean-up activity)

Re: Nice Planet 5: Insert Catchy Title Here

One of the girls in my neighborhood was also in the same grade as me growing up. During my years in elementary school her dad used to come to the school once each year, all the while dressed in his uniform, his belt fully stocked with all that he'd normally carry, including his side arm, along with his K-9 partner. Kids were always wowed by the display they'd put on for all the grades.

It's a little funny to think back on it. There were seven of us from the neighborhood all in the same grade, and I think we all had a very different outlook on the German Sheperd than the rest of the class. We were wowed by the various routines my neighbor would have the dog execute, but we saw the animal outside of school and knew how careful everyone had to be around it and heard a few stories of the things it had to do while in service. Still, never once were we overly nervous around the animal because we knew Officer Steve (not you, SteveP ) had good control over her - though not 100% control, as he told us repeatedly, because she was, after all, still a dog.

Now comes news that police dogs are racist! ROFLMAO

A new report focusing on the Canine Special Detail of the LA Sherriff’s Department (LASD) has uncovered a vast increase in the number of minority individuals bitten by police dogs since 2004.

And in the first six months of this year, every single victim of a bite by a LASD dog was African-American or Latino.The data was published in a new report by the Police Assessment Resource Centre (Parc), a Los Angeles-based non-profit organisation, devoted to “advancing effective and accountable policing”.

Sure. But in terms of government mandates, we'd find ourselves in the area of "preference." I would prefer that fat ladies not wear spandex pants. But I don't think it's any of government's business. And I would similarly prefer that smokers be considerate of others when disposing of their butts. My experience is that employers tend to provide some sort of container (big bucket, etc) at their mandatory smoking area but never empty the thing. I'd imagine if you took the butts and the disposable diapers out of landfills you wouldn't have much left.

There was a hospital in Omaha that felt justified in imposing an anti-smoking ban on the sidewalks all the way 'round the building. Two ladies in their 50's, who had worked at the hospital for decades, were fired because someone saw them smoking on a public sidewalk on their way to work and ratted them out. In Old Pio world the rat fink should be the one out of work. I had them as guests on my show, and after flaying the hospital administration for the better part of an hour, the ladies were rehired.

Mike Royko once did a column about anti-death penalty types who complain "you never see a doctor or lawyer on death row." Royko pointed out that was probably because doctors and lawyers commit a microscopic percentage of the murders and not some bias against juicing professionals who kill.

These statistical inferences of bias are, with virtually no exceptions, horse sh*t. Guys with white leg are under represented in the NBA. Bias? You bet your life. Bias against guys who can't jump or shoot.

No. But I had better numbers than he did in Omaha. Like that great quote from Dr. Johnny Fever when the ratings book came in: "Look what I'm doing with 12-year old boys!"

When you're travelling late a night anywhere in the sparsely populated west or midwest, there's nothing better than AM talk.

Talk radio at night when you're disengaged from daily noise can be uniquely intimate.

Although, as Eric Bogosian discovered, sometimes it can be a little too intimate.

Girl DD's for a friend, school suspends her from the volleyball team under zero tolerance.

If I was her father, I'd tell her walk right into school the next day like nothing happened. Then march up to her volleyball coach and say "I'm not leaving. Either I play or no one plays." If anyone gives her any trouble, she is to put me on the phone.

100% agree with Twitch's plan there... The kid did ZERO wrong... By the way the policy is being enforced, I think we should suspend anyone who has a locker in the same hallway when a kid brings in an aspirin...

I wonder if this school has a Facebook page? Just start spamming it with "This School Hates DD's" and crap like that... The world needs to start dealing with this kind of stupidity harshly and swiftly
