Then why don't they just ban the damn stuff and be done with it!

Because a frog will jump out of boiling water. You need to put it in hand-warm water and slowly increase the temp to cook it.

It was YOU that mentioned genetics......NOT ME!!!!!!!

Yes, of course I mentioned genetics. Now what, exactly, does that have to do with homosexuality being genetic (that you seem to want to attribute to me)? I think it may be you that needs to read, not me. I did not mention homosexuality at all in that post. Here is my entire post again:

"I should not be asked to subsidize your bad habits. Pay your own way. BTW, Genetic predispositons are not habits. Smoking, etc. is a personal choice. Face up to the responsibility for your own actions and don't inflict the results on others."

I don't find anything about homosexuality in it. Do you?

[2nd amendment mama]

Well, I never said that homosexuality had anything at all to do with genetics....in fact I never even mentioned the word genetics in my original post! You are the one who came back to me mentioning genetics vs habits!!!!!

[templar]

Well, I never said that homosexuality had anything at all to do with genetics....

OK, so why do you keep bringing it up? I totally fail to understand what, if any, point you are trying to make here.

Again...you obviously can't read! This is all about Worker's Compensation costs. Individuals do not pay for worker's comp...the company does.....ugh!

[Terridan]

Yeah... but where I live, they always say, sarcastically, "SMOKE THIS", only its directed to my husband!!! LOL ;)

[Terridan]

Yep, go figure... thanks for the stats... will pass them along! ;)

[Terridan]

"...They blame a workers’ compensation system>>.."
This system has and is being ripped off, not only from fraud, but from illegals as well... you are right on... eventually, the well will dry. Oh but wait, if it weren't for smokers, the taxes here in Kalifornia on cigerettes couldn't pay for all of the rats expenses and these frauds to begin with!!! (In Mississippi, I paid $1.50 a pack one week ago... Kalifornia, $5.72 five minutes ago! Do the math...that is what they are ripping off the people for!)

Bored? Short of cash? Go to a Dean "Meetin". It is free, freaky and you'll laugh your butt off.

I live in west Texas. I'd have to drive three hundred miles to find a real liberal.

Looks like someone let their 6 year old play with the Keywords....

[Leisler]

Oh, sure. Rub it in. Why? You want some? I can send you boatloads. Drop'm off in Galveston, make walk north, northwest. Of course you'd have to send cowboys since they, the libs, couldn't find their own arses, let alone West Texas. It'd be like a reverse roundup/trailride, except instead of mooing cattle, you'd have bitch'n liberals. Although, I bet a cattle herd is as dumb as a cluster of liberals.

[Leisler]

Although, I bet a cattle herd is NOT as dumb as a cluster of liberals.

Correct. Cattle, while exceedingly stupid, at least have some sort of survival instinct.
