Saw a man smoke a $500 cigarette

Dang.... foiled again.

I admit to being wishy washy on this subject. I don't like my bacon overly crispy. There is that certain magical point just before true crispiness where it kind of snaps but has a little chewiness.

I know that moment. God do I know that moment.

 

[Birds Away]

Mmmmm....very crispy smoked bacon.....

BACON - crispy or not crispy

I cannot do that. I despise crispy bacon that break like dried leaves.
Sorry but I gotta draw the line somewhere.

Hah...

I had my wife send me Bottled Bacon Bits to eat in Iraq....

A pinch between your cheek and gum...

Actually, the entire premise is incorrect. Assuming a $500.00 purchase was lost, the smoker only lost the profit from the sale. I'd say it was a bargain.
I prefer smoke free, but, I realize limited exposure is not going to kill me. Also prefer good service in restaurants, but seldom see it

Eh. I think there's a small taste of common sense involved in the OP's rebuttal that some here aren't seeing.

Common Courtesy.

I've never been in a gun shop that DIDN'T have someone fire up a cigar/ette at some point. That's fine.
It's the thought that the said store owner did so after acknowledging a child was in presence.

My only analogy I have to go with this is sometimes I like to be real' American and crank my music while I drive on a sunny day.
Regardless of what I'm listening to, if an older couple (or anyone that doesn't appear to care for the noise) pulls up next to me at a stop light,
I'll turn it down until I'm back up and going again or away from them.

Polite? Courtesy? Whatever. Regardless, I feel like that move could've been done in this situation. Just my .02.

Also I dont think these gunshop owners and mangers are thinking this through . Employers are required to provide a safe work environment. Poor Johnny was forced to work in a shop that had deadly second hand smoke all day, every day so he could feed his children.

Poor Johnny should have tried to move to a country like the US or Canada, where he could have quit his job but still got a Section 8 rental voucher, free or reduced childcare, an EBT card with a petty cash allowance, and an allowance for food.

No one is "forced" to work in this country, or most other industrial counties. You can choose the welfare lifestyle, or find another job.

I took my 2 year old into a bar and asked everyone to stop drinking because I didn't Want my precious child Cody to be exposed to the smell of beer.

They laughed at me and my wonderful Cody. Don't they know my Cody is special and needs to be catered to? I bring my kids everywhere. I feel the world should be totally kid friendly. I am petitioning Las Vegas to stop gambling so it can be more kid friendly.

You thought I was going to post sexy bacon again didn't you

 

[LEaSH]

Elmore's?

Apples and Oranges, when compared to the OP. You took your child into an establishment that sold beer (that was your first offense, in indiana anyway), and asked them to stop drinking beer. The OP didn't walk into a gun store and ask that all the guns be put up for fear of exposing his child to a gun.

I'm borred and feel like pointing out the flaws in peoples arguements.

 

[fullmetaljesus]

that kid's lungs have probably suffered more from car exhaust or nasty farts than it would have by being in a store where a person was smoking. You see thats part of whats wrong these days. We kids used to ride in the backs of trucks, in cars no seatbelt, rode bike with out dressing like a line backer.

But because this guy wanted to enjoy a smoke in his own shop while your precious snow flake was there, you had to get all uppity.

Get real dude.

Sorry, I don't think I'm allowed in these threads anymore. The last time I tried to perform a public service announcement on the subject, the Mods had to step in.

All I will say is read the studies that show second hand smoke is harmful. Not just the summary on the front page or the press release, the studies themselves. Do some research to see what the statistics actually show. What the research, and more specifically the error margins indicate, and "research methods" indicate. Then come back and tell me what you've learned. I will say that a meta-study is to a scientific study, as meta-physics is to physics. Read: It's not.

I won't try to fight you on it. Just educate yourself, as opposed to parroting what the media tells you. You don't believe it when they say that stronger gun control makes our streets safer, so why do you just believe it when they say second hand smoke is so harmful?

And I'm out this thread. Any further questions on the subject can be PM'd to me if you want. I do enjoy the debate.

Not going to defend the man, but my guess is he didn't even think about a kid. He probably smoked around his kids and smokes everyday in his shop, my bet is also in however long he has owned his shop he can count on his fingers how many toddlers have been in there. I can tell you that lighting a cig is second nature I did it until 2 months ago

I know people do that, but its pathetic. Every time I see some idiot smoking in his/her car with a kid in the back seat I just shake my head at how stupid people can be.
