It stinks and is disgusting. Whose got the rights in this case? Public-park and I'd rather not inhale 2nd hand smoke, versus public-park and I'm a smoker?

I hate it when people wear cheap perfume or after shave. It stinks and is disgusting. We should ban the wearing of any perfume under $50 a bottle in public (or just perfume I just plain don't like). Who has the rights in this case? Public park and I'd rather not inhale cheap perfume vs. public park and I wear Aqua Velva?

How about people who go out in public with colds and the flu? Should they be ordered to stay in the home? I guarantee there are more deaths from the flu each year than second hand smoke and catching a cold is much more irritating than inhaling second hand smoke. Where are my rights not to be subject to sneezing people on the subway or an elevator?

perfume: funny thing... when we were walking back to the car about 4 college aged males were in front of us and they smelled like they had bathed in after-shave. I don't take that seriously at all though.

Now, the coming to work when you have a cold or the flu, or sending your kids to school when they are OBVIOULY sick, that pisses me off. I didn't say anything to the (imo) inconsiderate park-smokers, but I have and will continue to speak up when obviously sick people show up to work. If some people weren't so (@#$@#@) self absorbed the other people would have a much tougher time getting the gov't to pass stupid laws to protect them.

When someone farts in an elevator, most have the decency to be embarrassed.
