My post didn't. so again...Some of those fuzzy parts are hard to understand. Does it mean this, or does it mean that? It keeps you on your toes trying to figure it out. Actually, that's probably how it was intended to work. Lolsagefr0g said:
In the end, however, you don't want to go to the fuzzy place. You'll be trying to figure out, is this the right place, it's not so bad, or is this the bad place. Help! The Holy Bible says, "For now we see in a mirror fuzzily (dimly), but then we will see clearly (face to face). 1 Cor 12:13. So, fuzzy here is all right...in fact, it's guaranteed...but later, go for clarity. Lol

well yeah like you say that's how it's supposed to be. seems logical doesn't it. i mean at least if we were meant to have free will. wouldn't seem right if we were spoon fed everything.aslan said:
but as a final note from me on this subject (i'll just continue to stew in my juices quietly like a good sheeple) but i sure do hope once i cross those pearly gates that i catch a glimpse of the great One maybe taking a drag off a Pall Mall, maybe winning a big bet at that big blacjack table in the sky.

With the new law, Matsushita has to measure the waistlines of not only its employees but also of their families and retirees. As part of its intensifying efforts, the company has started giving its employees “metabo check” towels that double as tape measures.
“Nobody will want to be singled out as metabo,” Kimiko Shigeno, a company nurse, said of the campaign. “It’ll have the same effect as non-smoking campaigns where smokers are now looked at disapprovingly.”
Companies like Matsushita must measure the waistlines of at least 80 percent of their employees. Furthermore, they must get 10 percent of those deemed metabolic to lose weight by 2012, and 25 percent of them to lose weight by 2015.
NEC, Japan’s largest maker of personal computers, said that if it failed to meet its targets, it could incur as much as $19 million in penalties.
Some Perspective on Smoking...
(Dead link: http://www.joejackson.com/pdf/5smokingpdf_jj_smoke_lies.pdf)
When I was a boy fully 1/2 of adults smoked at least a pack/day,
but most died of diseases other than lung cancer.
What made me, an occasional cigar smoker, sour was a female
AC casino employee screaming "They're trying to kill me!", during
the hearings on the smoking ban. She was hysterical about
second hand exposure, which is far less than direct exposure,
and no worse, with decent ventilation, than her carcinogen
exposure during her daily commute to AC.

worms worming their way into your life
The Dutch government, currently led by a conservative coalition with a religious bent, is slowly squeezing back the number of coffee shops by not renewing licenses when shops close.
Growers are arrested, leaving coffee shop owners struggling to obtain their main product.
"The rules are being set to pester us out of business one by one, slowly but surely," said Richard van Velthoven, manager at The Greenhouse, who said he feared being shut down for tobacco violations.

Truly spoken, even though I enjoy the smoke-free environment, and do worry a little about secondhand smoke, it is a slippery slope that could erode many rights or perceived rights. I'm sure there are many compromise solutions so that both smokers and nonsmokers can enjoy their preferred environments. I don't believe that competition will necessarily result in the best of both worlds or solutions that we can all live with, so I don't mind laws that try to find those reasonable compromises. I don't like laws that make it only one way, so that some are hurt at the expense of the others, either by no attention to smoke-filled rooms or by elimination of smoke-filled rooms in their entirety. Personally I can live with designated smoke free tables, and designated smoker tables, so long as the room is large enough and the air handling capacity good enough not to make the distinction a farce. If all BJ tables everywhere were filled with smoke I would feel unfairly deprived of my perceived right to enjoy the game of BJ in a healthy and pleasant environment. I do not wish to deprive you, howver, Bob, of your right to burning, itching eyes, smoke filled lungs, odoriferous hanging smog of cigarette smoke, ash droppings, nicotine addiction and all the other pleasantries associated with the smoking habit. Lol I guess one man's meat is another man's poison. Lol PS--You can't have the $5 table!bj bob said:
