Booze Ban Driving Homeless Inland?
LOVETHEBOOZEBAN, WOW... a punk? an idiot? a hooligan? Can you please give me some insight on what makes a person any of these things and particularly what makes me any of these things... So I am assuming that you are the kind of guy that tries to convert other people to his religion, the kind of guy who wants anything you deem "inappropriate" off the TV, the kind of guy who thinks they know what is best for everyone... yes - YOU ARE THAT GUY... instead of YOU monitoring what your kids are exposed to - you'd rather society do it for you... your that lazy guy making 50K a year, working 40 hours (but only actually working 15 of those) who expects the government and others to alter their lives so not to expose your children to anything you don't like.. THAT GUY...too lazy to monitor and regulate what your own children are exposed too - so just punish everyone else instead... we should all live to make you happy For you to say I am any of those things through that little message is... well it is ignorant.... I am a 28 Y/O COO of multi million dollar company...nothing close to a "punk, idiot, or hooligan" I can assure you that I pay my fair share of taxes, and I can also assure you I am not arrogant enough to call any public space MINE... why - because public spaces are just that - PUBLIC... and people like you think everything should be all or nothing.. compromise is a foreign term to you... I would love to hear your explanation of why we could not have some area's designated as alcohol free, and other's not... (I guess it is because as long as your happy, screw everyone else...) why do you think I have to make sacrifices for YOUR KIDS - you had them, you make the sacrifices! I am in full agreement that drunk idiots running around the beach is NOT a good thing, but these are things that can be controlled... the beaches went from everything goes - to nothing goes... opposed to taken steps to determine what regulations will create the desired effect EVERYONE would be happy with... Your just a bitter old JOKE... Keep up the GREAT parenting you loser— July 1, 2008 1:38 p.m.
Booze Ban Driving Homeless Inland?
What a joke... I assume everyone on this board is a "law abiding tax paying citizen" so who are any of you to speak on all of our behalf.... I personally enjoy the freedom of being able to relax on the beach and drink a beer... but since most of you think it is YOUR BEACH - and you don't like drinking, you think that NO ONE SHOULD BE ABLE TO DRINK ON ANY BEACH... WTF Why is this all or nothing... we could make everyone happy - instead of half the population... designate one beach as a place where you can bring alcohol, and one where you are not allowed.. But instead you idiots think it is okay to tell others how they should be living on "YOUR BEACHES" what a joke.... especially as we get set to celebrate our "independence day" we can all sit back and remember times when government did not try to run every part of our lives... whats next - some old lady does not like how skimpy girls bikini's are these days... well we'd better ban them.. we don't want your children exposed to sexuality.... one piece suits only.... These laws are actually Taliban esq.... honestly— July 1, 2008 11:51 a.m.
