I'm interested in your story about getting a faceful of pepper
spray. --
I've gotten blowback when spraying urban camper trespassers when I
had to convince them to leave my private property. I caught one
breaking into my van and gave him a bath with capsicum. I made the
mistake of scratching my eye when I had some pepper spray on my
hands. I quit using pepper spray when it became obvious that I
react badly to any amount in the environment. I've switched to
guns. ^_^
you mean the lead bullets are safe for you to touch/be around? I'm
surprised considering how sensitive you are to things in the
environment. When you did perform service work, were you driving a
super energy efficient hybrid vehicle, or outright electric one? Or,
were you driving a work van that pumps out piles of toxic material
into the environment as long as the engine is running?
Did you ever use a drive thru? I'm sure the employees really
appreciated the flooding of exhaust fumes from your vehicle into
their 'non smoker friendly' environment. Yes sir, I'd much rather
inhale large doses of petro byproducts, and dangerous levels of
carbon monoxide, but don't you dare force me to inhale a 'whiff' of
somebodys cigarette.
I find the smell of a 2stroke engine to be a bit annoying. We should
outlaw them, entirely. They do more harm to the environment and my
lungs than any cigarette ever thought about doing. I'd also like to
go ahead and ban charcoal, wood burning stoves.. As, again, they emit
toxic fumes that shouldn't be allowed in any public space; as it
would 'offend me'. Depending on what your grilling, I might even want
to throw up. Move your grill someplace else, it's in a public space
and I've got the right! not to have to smell what you're cooking. I
don't care if we're both in a campground; your grill offends my nose
and chokes me up. So, you can't use it.
I get sick to my stomache if I see a needle on tv. TV shows *because
it makes me sick!* shouldn't be allowed to show needles injecting
people or drawing blood. Much more so if said tv is in a public
space. No, you can't ask me to change the channel or go elsewhere as
that's not fair to me. You *will not* show injections while I'm
present, instead.
Do you need any more examples of outrageously stupid demands for the
'public' space or have I made my point? Second hand cig smoke at
best, might? possibly be, harmful for you, if you've been exposed to
it in a very confined area, for YEARS upon YEARS upon YEARS. A whiff
here and there is HIGHLY UNLIKELY to do you any actual harm.
Perceived harm isn't the same thing, you realize.
I'm doing my best to emulate Muggles as I work through some assinine
requests that can only possibly benefit me, but, certainly
inconvenience you. I've got one more.. G
Btw, Thanks to the super duper AC present in the hospital, it's
causing me to feel cold. So, while I'm in a public space with you, I
want the temperature increased to a level I find comfortable. If YOU
don't like it, go find a freezer. You don't have the right in a
public space to force me to be chilly just because you're a fat
******* who can't stay cool during the summer without the AC unit.
I have the right to be comfortable, **** your rights. It's a public
space, after all.

Hmmm. I most certainly don't understand how I can access a copy of a
zip file but then not be able to unzip it so I can watch it. That
seems VERY clever!
