Doesn't seem very logical now, does it???
Yep, that too. LOL!
Our parents screwed us up to some degree and we get to turn around and do so with our children.
Damn humans, not being perfect and all!
LOL! :24:
It's from a poem by the fantastic Philip Larkin, This be the Verse.
One of my favourites.

And polluting the atmosphere and other people is logical how?
People pollute the atmosphere in millions of ways...doesn't mean we should outlaw it all. Everything we do has some kind of adverse effect, pretty much. I don't see you threatening to crush my hairspray can. LOL
Aerosol should be outlawed as well. We should be reducing pollution, not excusing it.
What about people who feed their kids McDonalds on a regular basis?
They should be smacked but since it's a form of nourishment, there's not much we can do at this point.
Cows "pollute" the atmosphere every day... You don't see a mass slaughtering of cows.... well besides everyday proccessing
Smoking around a child is bad, I can decide if I want to stay in an area where there is smoking going on .. a child can't, but so is smoking away from the child then coming right inside and picking them up and holding them on your nicotine laden clothing.
It might not harm them right away .. but if your child always had a runy nose, or is always coughing .. or various other allergey type symptoms .. you can almost guarantee your smokey clothing is the culprit.
My son is allergic to cigarette smoke and his nana smokes around him .. when he was a baby and he went to her house (not by my choice but court ordered visiation) he'd come home smelling like an ashtray. His clothes reaked, his hair reaked, I got to where I had to throw the clothes out on the deck because it made his laundry basket reak .. AND the rest of his clothes that were in it.
I feel the same way about parents drinking while with their children. We were at a restaurant the other day and there was a couple and their 2 small (between 3-7 yrs) children with them .. BOTH parents were drinking. I saw them go through 2 pitchers of beer. Fucking disgusting .. that they would do it AND that the restaurant is ALLOWED to serve them!
I was >< close to saying something .. but my mother was begging me not too.

actually .. there have been several parents prosecuted for neglect/abuse for overfeeding their children to the point where their health was threatened from obesity (from feeding them junk food only).
And I applaude the judges for it!
how big is a pitcher? Um .. you know .. those plastic things of beer that usually a group get .. comes with 4 cups
We have entirely too many cows on this planet.
um .. you shouldn't drink and drive yourself around .. much less with kids in your car!
You wanna do it .. be my guest .. but kids dont' have the option to decline a ride (nor do they realize that they should)
2 beers will get you put in jail here if you get pulled over after drinking them.
I just polluted the atmosphere with my :asshole::eek :dunno
Not good :ninja :yuk
:24:
so true
Absolutely not .. my child doesn't even know I drink. He's 11 .. He learns by example .. and I would like for him to remain as innocent and unbias as possible.
When I feel the appropriate age comes, that I believe that he can and will understand the act and meaning of drinking .. I will disclose my actions to him .. but until then I will not do something in front of him that I don't want him doing until he is of a certain age (not saying 21 .. but I'd prefer him not be 13 and drinking).
I also don't curse in front of my child either.
