Gee Seabee, sorry if I "offended" you in some way by the choice of my language. I think you missed the whole point of my post. I don't consider it my business basically is what I am trying to say by saying I could care less. I guess I do care or I wouldn't be here commenting, but apparently my choice of words doesn't suit you?? I can, however, spell correctly and form a well-constructed sentence, but I see no comment on that.

I could care less why the girls chose to become strippers and I could really care less why the johns are there. I said what I said because some people were making it sound like these girls had no other choice but to go into stripping to make ends meet. I simply gave my example to show that yes, it's hard as hell, but it CAN be done other ways, so don't assume that these girls had no other choice. If these girls feel alright with themselves and can make an "honest" living..great..good for them..I'm worried about myself first and foremost and I have enough problems of my own to worry about. I was making a point, plain and simple, that these girls are not "victims" forced into this profession, they chose it. So before you get up on your soapbox and judge me by my comment, I have more important things to fill out my day than to check someone's myspace page or ccap records to "investigate" what kind of person they may or may not be.
On Cookie sales fall short for local Girl Scouts

I didn't even realize it was cookie time! I'm not living under a rock or anything, but there were no clues as in years past, no local girl scout knocking on the door, no cookie order forms at work, and no way to know that it was going on. I wish I knew if I could still get some, those cookies are the best!

"Hannah, what are you jealous?? Usually jealous narrow minded fat ugly girls have so much hate."
That statement screams narrow-minded as well. Just my opinion.
Also, to say that some of these girls are "doing the best they can" and whatever; I worked my way through college in a retail job that left me having to choose between food and bills at times, but I stuck it out and I believe I am a better person because of it. I believe life is what you make it and it all comes down to the choices you make. These girls and johns made choices that they will have to deal with, so let's just hope that they learned something and will perhaps choose a better option in the future.

Thank you Zoom :)
I need to loosen up a bit on the grammar/spelling thing and I know I make mistakes sometimes, but the your/you're, there/they're/their thing is something I'll always have a hard time letting go of.

Sorry King Haeight, I missed the chunk of the blog where you talked about having childhood asthma. I was busy that week preparing for exams and writing papers, so I'm sorry that I missed that part. I have read most of the blog and tried to keep up so that I am informed and not just spouting out my rear. As for your logic that someone should "bother" themselves with looking up the relevant information to be sure that the Wikipedia stuff is accurate, why should we?? As someone that wants others to take their arguments seriously, the cited works should be the most accurate and relevant the first time they're posted, not be in the form of some central directory...it is absolutely ridiculous to believe otherwise. You may claim laziness on the part of the reader, but I guess the part of me that wanted to go to law school at one time believes in getting evidence in the argument right the first time. I won't even get into the proper use of your, you're, there, they're and their in regards to credibility....moving on.
As for your argument that smoking can be beneficial in the event of an asthma attack, I had to read it again to be sure that's what you were saying and I'm still shaking my head. According to that line of logic, smoking should ward off asthma attacks shouldn't it?? Nicotine does not act as a bronchodilator as far as I know, so if you can point me in the right direction that will take me to that information, please enlighten me. I tried researching it myself, but everything I found contradicts that logic.
I could really give a hoot less if you smoke, but I really don't think bars should be exempt just because it is a bar. I remember walking around the Janesville Mall as a kid and seeing people smoking as they walked around the mall, but those places went non-smoking even though it was clear that many smokers shopped at the mall. I know that there is an argument about how smoking is not allowed in certain places because of flammability issues and whatnot, but it's the same in a bar. Personally, I find it humorous to watch someone try to light a cigarette as they're obviously completely trashed. I, myself, have been there and I am sure I looked absolutely ridiculous and I wonder how many things I have burned in the process of drinking and smoking.
On New law provides emergency contraception for rape victims

I, for one, am passionate about pro-choice. I believe every woman should have the ultimate say over what happens to her body.
In the professional sense, as a certified pharmacy tech, I have sold the morning after pill on countless occasions as it is not my place to question whether the woman was a victim or if she's just using it as a convenient form of birth control. I practice in a college town, so it is more likely that most of the women are partaking in risky behaviors, but it doesn't mean that I'll be less likely to sell them the morning after pill. I don't care if my co-workers refuse to sell it as long as someone else is there to sell it. Same thing goes for birth control. I have worked with many pharmacists that refuse to dispense birth control on moral grounds, but usually there is another pharmacist on duty who will do it so that it does not become an issue. You may remember awhile back there was a news story about a pharmacist that refused to dispense birth control to a young woman and he also refused to transfer the prescription because it conflicted with his moral beliefs. I firmly believe that pharmacist was wrong and crossed the line when he refused to transfer the woman's prescription.

Haeight, while I appreciate you citing sources, I have a hard time with citing Wikipedia as a credible source. Did you know that Google allows you to search scholarly articles and journals?? If I were to use Wikipedia as a source in a college research paper, I'd be downgraded because it is not considered a reliable source. I know this is not college, but I believe that in order for people to take your argument seriously, you must cite credible sources.
As for your sources on asthma (yes, I have checked them out), I side with you that smog and fine particulates have a big effect on asthma, but smoking plays a huge role as well. Have you ever had an asthma attack Haeight, or have you ever watched someone have a severe asthma attack that requires hospitalization?? I have. My brother has had severe asthma all his life and smoke was just one of his many triggers. I have recently started to develop asthma due to my smoking and I'll admit that freely. Do I believe the car exhaust contributes?? You bet I do, but I know for a fact that smoking does cause asthma and it brings on asthma attacks which are so not fun to have. I'd much rather be carrying around the latest designer purse than the latest designer oxygen tank.. Hmm..you think green is in this season??
