Ever wanna kick people's ........butts

[Tinelement]

So I'm leaving the gas station today, and some people had parked next to me when I was the station.

I get in the truck, look down and study the people in the car next to me.

Looks like older mom and dad in the front seat and maybe a daughter in the back with her two (2) infants in car seats.

Dad in the driver seat is puffing on a cig eating a bag of Cheetos, mom is in the passenger seat puffing on a cig, daughter is in the back seat eating nachos, which are sitting on the infants lap, puffing cig.

All the widows rolled up. 2 infants in the back seat.

Filthy motherf$$kers.

If you smoke you smoke, I chew, but not around my kiddos.

I wanted to drag all 3 of um outta car.......

Grrrrrrrrr.

[BlasterBob]

I for one, can totally agree with you. What the hell are they thinking -- actually they are just NOT thinking about anyone but themselves. Hell, even dumb animals don't smoke in the company of their young ones.

It's a free country,so far, until there is a law passed about this, and time is short,

Until mandatory sterilization is in effect, reproduction is a crap shoot..

When I see parents driving that don't have their kids buckled up... that really grinds my gears. Good parenting.

Going to have to agree with SideShow Bob on this one...
It's a pretty slippery slope to state that this "next law" is to protect the innocent, or the young, or the whatever... Half the stupid things we have to put up with now are a result of someone trying to "help out" someone who "can't help themselves."
There's no law on this now- and as much as I'd like it to be so, it's not illegal to be dumb or to do stupid things- so it is what it is.
In my business, incidentally, we call that "poor protoplasm." And it surely is

I think it's mostly a matter of ignorance. Most folks (myself included) will buck when we think we're being bullied, oppressed, or otherwise unjustly controlled. The knee-jerk response is often to do exactly what is being "forbidden", simply on the principle of independence ("Don't Tread on Me").

Lots of smokers actually don't realize that their 2nd-hand smoke is truly harmful to their children, and will resist unsolicited advice as a perceived infringement on their liberty. But when they learn (and believe) that they are actually harming their children with their 2nd-hand smoke, they will often choose to protect their child (a parent's job), instead of knowingly harm them simply to make a point about their "freedom".

Children exposed to second-hand smoke have a higher incidence of ear infections, bronchitis, lifelong asthma and environmental allergies. That's not an opinion, it's a fact. I don't believe that most smokers believe they are harming their children with their smoke; they are simply ignorant. Once this ignorance is overcome, they can make the right choice for the welfare of their offspring. Unfortunately, sometimes their resistance to becoming educated is at the detriment of their children.

exactly this
Your good idea isn't worth my freedom.

and it's pretty damn sad that 90% of a GUN BOARD in fucking relatively free Colorado thinks it's all well and good to have armed officers of the state enforce their good idea.

doomed

Who are all these people and what ideas do they want enforced by the state?
