Freedom to be stupid is also freedom, this country here seems to have as a guidline.

Omg. I didn't even know those things exist.

Well, I feel it is impractical to handle. As stated by alshku, those laws have every sort of unintended consequences. It doesn't seem that outdoor smoking has in fact health implications, nor can I see any safety problems.

I perfectly do. Yet smoking is an addiction, that I can halfly rationalize by the being on my own thing and halfly really enjoy for that reason. I'd press some buttons on my mobile phone otherwise, or whatever.

So adding to the "only 30 Km/h" and "no driving here" signs you'd have "no smoking here"s?

I live in Switzerland. We got some real freedom ;)

I might have never considered the problem of smoking on sideways. You guys have a point.

That example was a bit over the top. Yet it essentially comes down to it. If I'm outside in a group, and someone is unhappy with smoke blowing into her or his face, I'll gladly take another seat or simply extinguish the cigarette. And who does share benches anymore?

I am a smoker, it adds up to maybe 20 or 30 cigarettes a day, depending what I'm doing. As in: correlating to the time I spend in meetings.

True. Though some might wanna judge to be decent human beings and, say, exploit financially like all the other cranks out there.

Ain't the first cult leader to go into that direction, probably, and sadly, won't be the last.

Well, Weiner is obviously too lousy a liar to keep his extra-marital sexting under the radar. Which seriously questions, and I mean that seriously, his ability to be a politician, since politicians have to play games, have to lie sometimes - to staffers, to other politicians, maybe to voters (even if preferably not…

What happened to "attention aficionados"?

My little brother, up to the age of 3, used to do that to our cat. The cat wasn't that nice, though no permanent damage was done.

I happen to know the first woman to win an anti-discrimination lawsuit in my rural region in Europe. That story happened five years ago. She worked as a foreman in construction. When she got pregnant, her employer fired her because he allegedly didn't want to search for a surrogate for three months.
So she went to a…

Apparently, Germany gives Miley really bad ideas. First the Schnitzelgate and now a Chris Brown face tattoo? We can only hope there are things lost in translation.

Or that.

The whole idea of a "slut vaccine" seems fowl. What if your lovely girl ends up a good christian, marrying another good christian who formerly was not so good and infects her?

That .gif sounds like a .gif that could see universal usage. You should like kickstart to make it!

As a european, I can only assume that american McNuggets are better and american Schnitzels worse than here or that Miley Cyrus has never eaten a real Schnitzel.
