People in society are just ****ing stupid.

I won't have to explain that to my kid; she's going to figure that our on her own.

Possibly so. But my kid hasn't ever been around someone doing that, nor has she ever been around violence...

It's not the actual consumption that I have a problem with; it's the behavior that accompanies that consumption, which is why I've never taken my kid to an NFL game or an MLB game. Low class individuals with no couth, whose only agenda is getting drunk/high. Is that everyone there? No...but it's enough of a percentage that I won't chance it.

Would I physically attack someone (especially a female) who was ingesting cocaine in front of my child.

Highly doubtful.

It would be my first impulse, sure...

But me saying that I would actually do that was pure hyperbole.

Maybe Ol' TimBoner can look up the definition of the word "hyperbole", and after he figures out what it means, maybe he'll be able to recognize when someone is engaging in hyperbole.

It's pretty useless having rabblerouser on ignore if you're all going to engage his borderline-trolling.

I smoke to stay somewhat sane. It's my medication.

Yes, and coke lady likely doesn't snort to "Get high" either. I'm sure she needs her medication just the same.

Hypocrite.

It's kind of foreign in KC, last year notwithstanding, so I can see how folks are puzzled.

In other news, apples and oranges aren't the same thing.

He turned and ran - ran - across six lanes of rush-hour traffic. The last I saw of him, he was still running.

I wouldn't have recorded her, but I ain't dogging on him. I think she's a dumb twat though, for sure.

I've found pre-emptively striking the bums works wonders.

As soon as they are nearly on your, turn and ask them for money.

I did that once in Atlanta, got stopped at least once/day on a ~10 minute walk to the office, so I asked a guy for a buck... kind of a blank stare, then just turned and walked away.

My favorite though was a guy in Seattle said something to me, but I had my headphones on and asked him to repeat (figured he was asking for money, of course)... didn't understand him the 2nd time, asked again to repeat.... so, picture a guy who's clearly annoyed, who has ~4 teeth, speaking very slowly and as clear as possible "Do. You. Need. A. Place. To. Smoke. Crack?"

I almost felt bad telling him no.

My fun tactic these days is when they ask, "Change?", I respond with, "Oh, no, I couldn't take your money."

I think there's a correlation between being a panhandler and not getting a joke, because this always confuses them, and as I pass by, I'll sometimes hear them say, "No, I'm asking YOU for money."
