What does Lennox's post have to do with the OP?
Trying to divert the focus from his hatred of whores and sluts, I guess.
He's awfully young to have so much hatred and anger clouding his mind. Must be quite a jumble in there. Sounds like it's one big button being pushed.

His posts are just a mumbling of stupidity, they don't make sense anyway.

- any public pool, even at hotels and apartments, need a lifeguard on duty to open (b/c we have a lot of lawyers a lot of them transplants from NJ/NY...its cool for college kids who need a part time thats the only plus

- we are not allow to set off our own fireworks on July 4th

- we have a disproportionate amount of speed traps and speed cameras, many of them in obscene places like at the bottom of a huge hill

- supermarkets cannot carry beer or liquor
- a small water main break and hundreds of restaurants are ordered by law to close for a day

- we cannot have drive-thru liquor places (more "conservative" counties and states next to us do)

- in December, public libraries in theri displays can only include winter stuff but not Christmas trees or any Christmas or Hanukah stuff....we don't want to offend them Muslims and athiests do we?
I thought we were talking about pharmacists?

Go ahead and drown, then.

Fireworks are loud. I bet you've called the cops on a bunch of "rowdy whipper-snappers with their devil music" before.

Speeding is illegal for a reason; and if you can't control your speed down a hill, the brake pedal is the one to the left of the gas pedal.

Go ahead and get sick, then.

Public areas can't promote just one religion, duh, and it's simpler to promote none than try to promote all.
Okay, this is REALLY off topic but I have to address this thing about attacking me. Especially about the drowning thing, I think a "No Lifeguard On Duty, Swim At Own Risk" should suffice and I'm actually even down with having it in Spanish too since this is serious business. This rule actually causes a lot of pools to not open as much and people pay for more lifeguards through increased condo fees and hotel rates you know? Nothing against lifeguards, so many of my friends have done that over summers and loved it...but its only an example of how far liberals can get in terms of more and more regulations instead of just letting things be and just trust people to know whats best for themselves.

You have a problem with requiring lifeguards but then you have a problem with persons asserting their religious freedom to not have to expose themselves by wearing bathing suits in public pool areas? And you claim to be a conservative and want less government intrusion but don't want protection of religious freedom for persons who would violate their religion by wearing bathing suits. You need to get your thinking straight before you adopt positions. Opinions aren't required, you know.

The thread is about a pharmacist, not liberals vs conservatives. I have gotten infractions for being off-topic. If you want to discuss this other stuff, start another thread about say, the oppressiveness of requiring lifeguards at pools.
