Things That Should Be Illegal

The spirit of the gesture isn't dependent upon the actual circumstance.

It most certainly does. It was completely hidden under chivalrous intentions.

 

[devilof76]

Where a gesture originates and what ideals it inspires in those who are naive to the uglier reality, are not related by any meaningful connection.

I'm just assuming the reality was ugly though. Why do women pass through the door first? I suppose it's not so clean and innocent as a simple opportunity to check out her ass.

I wish. The woman passes through the door first to take the assassin's arrow.

Not just there. People who smoke in cars but hold it out the window so their car doesn't smell like an ash tray, but you smell it in yours, inconsiderate smokers in apartments who go outside and smoke on a patio so their apartment doesn't smell like it but have little concern that doing so makes the one upstairs smell like it, etc.

I always open doors for women and let them enter first. But it has nothing to do with my safety. I just want to check out their ***** as they pass through the door.

Smoking in cars with kids. Fair enough, cancer yourself up... but your freakin' kids? That's so 1970s. All 6 states in Australia have banned it, but it remains fine to choke your kids to death on cigarette smoke in the two territories.

I really wish you could still smoke in bars. I imagine ventilation systems would have improved over the last ten years, but we'll never know.

The Medieval period is so romanticized and it was so insanely rotten. I'll grant that there was heroism to be found, and the European scholars who dragged it kicking and screaming into the modern era were gods on Earth, but in general it was a sad waste of history.

That's a place where I think smoking should be allowed. Why go to a bar if not to drink and smoke?

 

[devilof76]

Exactly. I can't argue with anyone who says that bars are easier to breathe in now, but I don't care. Next thing you know, it'll be illegal to get drunk in bars.

Agreed.

The smoking area for our office is right outside the main entrance...

What kind of dumb ____ assassin shots the first person that walks through a door without confirming identity?

Sounds like a stupid origin and probably based in myth more than reality. I call BS on that one.

 

[EVILFACE]

That one I call BS on.

And I like B bewbies.

And my woman makes good $$$ so she doesn't have to spend my $$$.

And smoking is nasty.

It's gotta be still allowed in Vegas.

@ applying modern standards in sniping to medieval times. An assassin's arrow had to come from relatively close quarters and you had to haul your ass out of the immediate area on foot, then to a horse waiting outside of the castle and hope you can out-ride the guards and the tower archers. Much different than sniping from a mile away, in a perfectly camouflaged ghillie suit with a Helo extraction.

 

[EVILFACE]

Pfft. Marky Mark with a bow and arrow could have pulled those shots off easy.

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

Schoolgirl kids using adults handbags to carry school stuff. WTF is up with that.

 

[The Ween]

Exactly. I can't argue with anyone who says that bars are easier to breathe in now, but I don't care. Next thing you know, it'll be illegal to get drunk in bars.

To be honest, I think any business, such as bars, etc. should be able to have smoking, just make sure it's posted outside saying it's a smoking establishment. You've been warned. If you go inside anyway, that's on you. There is a bowling alley near me, a big one, that until the law was passed had smoking. They would only turn on the ventilation system when they got complaints. The air used to be so thick with smoke, that I used to stink of it. My hair and clothes smelled awful! I quit going there because it would burn my eyes to be in there. That was my choice not to go there anymore and I would've never insisted on the place going non-smoking.

This ____. What ____ing sick pedophiles thought this was a good idea?!?!?!:

https://www.walmart.com/ip/Hello-Kitty-Child-Halloween-Costume/16524073​

Swung by Walmart today looking for the Freddy, Jason and MM shirts and when I couldn't find them, decided I'd check the Halloween area. My daughter's a huge Hello Kitty freak (like Dorkness), and we stumbled on this costume. Had to explain to her that it was highly inappropriate. It would be entirely different if this was an adult costume, but I was disgusted to see the sizes are for years 4-16. WTF?! It's funny how Walmart won't carry certain artist albums due to profanity, but won't hesitate to pop this ____ on an endcap.

Maybe the same sicko who thought this would be a good idea... walking down the Barbie aisle in Toys'r'Us I came across this little gem:

Little Red's got all the sexed-up references going on: the frilly white lace and velvet bodice, school girl tartan, fishnet stockings and red high heels, and red satin knickers (yes I looked). And if that doesn't hammer home what a sexually laden ensemble this is, they've thrown in the wolf - who has his tongue licking his chops while staring at her cleavage!

I mean I thought this was awesome, so I bought it for myself. But far out, I can't be alone in wondering what the hell this was doing in a store that sells toys for kids.

Difference being though, this, while likely inappropriately displayed among the other Barbies, is clearly marketed to the adult collector whereas the other is solely for underage children.
