We've become a nation of hardworking,iron tough sumb**ches to a nation of limpwristed,take-my-feelings-into-asccount pansies. I don't give two s**ts what people on here think of me. When I saunter over to YT or MySpace or wherever on the information super highway I may roam,I'm not thinking to myself"Gee. I was offended by what XXXXXX said about me". It's kind of sad really. Part of life is sucking it up,walking it off and being a"man". One of the reasons this nation is so f**ked up because we're all so worried about what someone else is doing.

El Cajon no-smoking law flouted
I only respect the feeling of non-smokers when I'm somewhere that my smoking might bother them. Outdoor seating at restaurants,casinos,bars,etc,etc don't count. If I'm at the bus stop,I'll smoke. If I'm at the bus stop and there is a non-smoker there,I'll walk away. If the wind carries my cigarette smoke 50 feet away to her,I'll move 50 feet in the other direction. I don't like smoking bans but I do respect the need for them. Non-smokers have gotten too catered to. Smokers will ALWAYS be around. A few times I've encountered pot smokers who tell me I'm killing myself. My brain always farts during those moments. I don't know how to respond to that.— August 27, 2009 4:05 p.m.

This isn't about feelings,Josh. BTW,Josh? It's ok that you don't agree with me on this. THIS discussion we're having RIGHT NOW is real life. H.Jacobs has 0 concept of real life. If she did,she would educate people(and most likely promptly get ignored)instead of going on some retarded crusade. She wants to give power to a word? Well,two can play that game. I too can give power to the word as well. Hers? Positive. Mine? Negative. I'm trying to educate people just as much as she is. My point is just as important as hers. The word retard will NEVER be set as word not accepted by auto-censors. Ain't going to happen. THAT'S real life.— August 27, 2009 3:58 p.m.

There's no talking to people like tokapanative,jmtrudeau. I'm not sure which are the worse hypocrites....Non-smokers or ex-smokers? And tokapanative? Not everyone that smokes dies a horrible death. I know a few people who died past age 100 who smoked,swore and drank till the day they died. They died of old age,not smoking or drinking. It's all about your genes. Good genes=a long life. That's why I advocate not having children. Too many people are breeding that shouldn't be. Knowing what I know about my family genes,I'll include myself in that list. I love my son and he was an accident but knowing what I know now,I wouldn't have had sex that night OR at least wouldn't have gotten so drunk that I would've wrapped my rascal.— August 27, 2009 3:50 p.m.
Prison Inmates (Dedicated to Dominick Dunne)

I don't know about California prison health care,but I do know Wisconsin's health care sucks. If America wants to look like the retarded kid down the block regarding their drug policy,it'll look like an even bigger retard when it comes to paying BILLIONS of needed dollars on non-violent criminals. I don't really want to turn this into a political discussion but California is only reaping what they've sown...Tough on crime? Ok. I'm cool with that. Don't b**ch when the bill comes though....— August 27, 2009 3:42 p.m.

I was willing to drop the subject till she wrote a letter. She wants her 15 minutes,fine. I've got no problem with. I also have no sympathy either. She strikes me as the kind of person to scrutinize things just to be"offended". She could've easily ignored my original comment but chose to make a mountain out of a mole hill. Now she wants everybody to not use the word retard because she decided to breed one? F*** that bulls***. I'll say what I want,to who I want whenever I want and consequences be damned. How come the Democrats only want free speech when it applies to what they say?— August 27, 2009 3:31 p.m.

My mistake suggesting you were a Chargeless fan,Parrothead. I HAD a bit of respect for your Iggles until they gave Vick a home. I'm ALL for second chances. I also don't really care if people fight dogs or not. What I do care about however is the way Vick killed the losing dogs. That's the only issue I have with Vick.— August 27, 2009 1:58 p.m.

Good point SDParrothead. I never really gave any thought to that. I'll be honest. I'm just going by the info I've read online about it. The only time I'll step foot on Qualcomm is to watch my Packers continue their dominance over your team. I believe they're going to do that next year. It may be played at Lambeau though.— August 27, 2009 1:20 p.m.
Party Time?
You can please some of the people some of the time....how does the rest of that go? I think SDaniels wants to f*** me. Is that sexy or scary? O_o— August 27, 2009 12:43 p.m.
