This. How does one say to their subordinate 'While I encourage you to take advantage of the exercise facilities at work, I do not encourage you to do so while wearing those shorts'?
Under normal circumstances I would fully support these things, but it is gross when the girl is 14. Way too young to be advertising like that. Then there's women in their 50s who dress up like they're on their way to a girls gone wild shooting. Most of the bars in Jacksonville are separated by age groups, but not so much in St Augustine and when I go down there they're out in force. So you're losing your looks and don't want to accept it - fine, I don't have to pay attention to you. Except they make loud obnoxious raunchy jokes to draw attention to themselves, and call me a prude, but even if the girl is a knock out ten that just isn't hot when it's a stranger you met five minutes ago. At my high school we didn't have an official dress code or anything like that, but if a girl was dressed too slutty she had to be reprimanded. For some reason none of the female teachers ever wanted to do this so they made all the guy teachers do it. Awkward.
At my old school, if a male teacher said anything about how a female student was dressed, the first question administration asked was "why are you looking?" Every male teacher told me never to say anything or I'd be the one in trouble. At my new school they are borderline insane about the dress code. That's the fun part of working in a small town school with more churches than residents.
Jesus. I swear people pack their brains in their ass when they get down on The Strip. Look ass hat, just because you're on vacation does not mean you're invincible, statistics will bear this statement out. And no, holding your hand out like a moronic crossing guard while crossing against the light in front of my loud, lifted 4x4, will not garner you any sympathy from me for your stupidity. I will hit the throttle and make you run like a scared little girl. tl:dr Some tourist is now in his room changing his underwear after being menaced by a hillbilly battlewagon. Fuck I hate going on The Strip.
Well, I wanted to spend my Saturday night entering lesson plans so that I can at least have week in when I get there for the first teacher day, but nope. Website is moving slow as fuck, to the point where I can't do anything. So, instead, it is time for booze!
WooHoo! The FBI shot and killed that fuck who killed the mother and son and then kidnapped the 16 year old daughter. No expensive trial, no expensive incarceration, no debate. BOOM! Dead. Problem solved.

That seriously reads like an Onion article. Im all for legalization, minus the retard taxation and regulation line, just to shut the potheads the fuck up.
"Do you know why we don't see potheads out in public? It's because they're sitting at home smoking weed and staring at their television sets or playing video games all day. Do you have any idea how many marijuana addicts I encounter at my rehab on a daily basis? They talk about wanting to be productive. But what pot does is it kills their motivation -- it destroys people's ability to go out and work and to have a career. It makes them want to do nothing but lie around all day. Is that what you want for your children? Is that what you want for your loved ones?" Thats about the dumbest thing I have read today, you know why you don't see them outside? Because its illegal to just stroll down the street smoking the stuff. I am for legalizing it, but old white america isn't going to let that happen, it'll get done, just not for 10 or more years.
That's pretty much it. The only thing that really holds it back are the demographic of People Who Will Be Hopefully Dead Soon. But there are some states like Texas that will probably never allow it.
I'm all for legalizing it too, just as long as its treated like alcohol. Don't drive while too high, and don't work while high. I do not buy the the idea that anyone does anything better that isn't artistic while high. I don't ever want to go any place where I'm paying for a product or service and shit is weird because the person was high. That's all I got to say. If you wanna do that shit on your own time, fine with me.
Glad to hear it! A friend of mine has been worriedly following this case because the father of the girl is her cousin's best friend.
I just have two caveats. One, don't claim it cures everything. Two, don't say it is completely harmless.
Pretty much that. In fact, I cant blame customer service people to be high. Anything to help them through the fact they are in customer fucking service. Marijuana should be legalized and distributed the exact same way as alcohol, right down to its boundaries and age limits. It will have the least red tape and debate that way. And like booze, you should be given the right to make it at home. That article was the single most ignorant thing about marijuana I have ever read. The guy just plain knows nothing about his subject, and he's a stone-cold liar. It made me laugh, but in a bad way because he pulled everything out of his ass. I'm not really sure what a "marijuana addict" is. Or this "lying around the house with TV and video games". Speaking as a smoker, I don't own a system and watch less than 2 hours of TV a day usually. Who the con artist is speaking about are called "Lazy Good-For-Nothing Fucks" who would be lazy even if they didn't get high. There are plenty of THOSE out there too. Whatever. It's just one ignorant article, and he did no homework at all.
For some reason the talk about pot on the job made me think of a scene in a movie where a bus driver switched urine samples to avoid detection, and the guy who he switched with now thinks he has a terminal disease. I had to look it up, and it is called Short Time with Dabney Coleman. He is a cop with an in-the-line-of-duty insurance policy, so now he spends the rest of the movie trying to get himself killed so his family can collect. My memory says it is pretty hilarious, but I'd have to watch it again. Unfortunately it isn't on Netflix or Amazon Instant..booo...
I love that movie. Coleman is the reason to watch, him and Matt Frewer are both hilarious in it. The gimmick in the movie is that he's retiring in three days which makes his behaviour more hilarious. The part where he starts ramming other cops cars out his way to get killed buy a high-speed criminal is side-splitting. He keeps NOT getting killed over the days and winning public merit awards which just pisses him off. Love it.
I don't think that is true at all. The groups really holding legalization back are groups like: Law Enforcement Lobbies (Police Unions, Corrections Unions) Big Pharma Hell, I wouldnt be the least but surprised if the Zetas and other Cartels weren't lobbying as well. It's like anything else where politics are involved, follow the money.
Well, it IS true, and a fact, but you're half right. While Cops don't really give a shit (in honesty) about what they're chasing around, the Prison Guard Union and the Prison Builder's Union (both powerful) will do whatever it take to keep people flowing into American prisons. That's why you have millions of prisoners in your country, more than any country on the planet-- per capita AND population-- because more prisoners=more cash. The United States has a violent offender's prison population of 8%. We are not much higher above that. More than 40% (possibly upwards of 60%) of those prisoners are drug-related offenses and most of those offenders are users, not traffickers. Users need treatment and support, not extended sentences in animal factories.
