It's not a public health issue; it's a choice. With consequences. You still haven't answered my question: why should I pay for someone else's poor choices?

As is smoking, eating McDonalds every day, drinking a case of soda a day, or all the other health choices individuals bring upon themselves.

You pay for them (people's poor choices) now. Why?

You slammed her pretty hard about her supposed...okay, admitted...lack of caring, and that's your rejoinder to her response? You know who else doesn't care about junkies and homeless people? Me, that's who.

I don't give a damn, and I used to run that junk up my arm, Chris. Oh, yeah, Hep B? Had that too. There's plenty of help available if you want help in this country. I did, and it worked for me. I got off the street, sobered up, got off the drugs, went to college and got a degree, raised a family, and all kinds of good stuff. I've lived a pretty good life, all-in-all. I made some really bad choices, got sick and tired of being sick and tired, made some good choices, got some help, and here I am, nearing a relatively comfortable retirement. The bad choices still have an impact, even after all these years, but we play the hands we're dealt.

If they don't want to get off the #### and get their lives straight, I don't care if they live or die.

I am unaware that I pay for anyone cigarettes or smoking cessation methods; their burgers and fries; or their soda. Please tell me how I can get in on this because I'd love for you to have to pay for my cigarettes and Diet Cokes.

Ever hear of soda cans laying around being a dangerous public safety problem? Anyone stealing to support their burger habit?

Smokers that litter with their butts do piss me off, as would a fat guy throwing burger wrappers out his car window, but it still isnt in the same league as having to clean up all the used needles on the basketball court before kids can play.

Wow, sha! You are awesome to admit all that. I have, always, been an advocate for truth. That is what I was taught, and advocate for on this forum. :yay: :clap: :yahoo: :smile: :huggy: You go, boy!

Starbucks Made A Big Show Over Their ‘Inclusive’ Bathroom Policy. Now They’re Regretting It​



Starbucks is reportedly planning on scrapping their bathroom policy that allowed access to non-customers due to “safety” concerns.

Chief Executive Howard Schultz said Thursday while speaking at The Time’s DealBook D.C. policy forum that the company may rescind it’s open bathroom policy because of a growing mental health problem, The New York Times (NYT) reported. Schultz reportedly said it was an “issue of just safety.”

“We have to harden our stores and provide safety for our people,” Schultz reportedly said. “I don’t know if we can keep our bathrooms open.”

There's a wing place in Salt Lake City that Monello and I popped in to. They keep their restroom locked and you have to get an employee to open it for you. This is because they had so many people ODing and dying in their freaking restrooms.

I was in dire straits in San Diego, and found a public bathroom in a park I was walking by.. stepped over somebody's worldly possessions to get to the sitter.. and I come out, relieved, and he's standing there all pissed off because I took a dump in his living room.
