i never said that she "MUST" lead to trouble. i stated she has shown to be a liability. i think this is where you are confused.

So even though she's of legal age both for drinking and for majority, she's still a liability to you? what if she had a DD? What if she wasn't even drunk in the picture and was drinking water?



i stated that she COULD.......aka liability.

Are you an insurance salesman or something???


its realistic by a legal means of expressing the same idea. if both are expressed and interpreted what difference are you trying to make? while an extreme example, if the board administrator goes to a restaurant and sees her drunk in a pirate outfit even without felonies he/she has every right to use that as an inference over other applicants.

The only realistic thing here is that she's going to win her case in all likelihood.

Yesterday's Latern led off with a story of an RA at OSU who showed up on a My Space type page surrounded by students who were drinking. He's lost his RA spot even though he was not drinking and it was at an off campus Christmas party.

I actually posted that in here, way back on page 5, post 62. I don't think anybody commented on it - it got lost in the assault against Jeffcat's temperence campaign.

Of course, the RA not only attended the party, but also was hosting it at his folks' house. I'm of the opinion that the punishment was well-earned in this case. Providing alcohol to a minor and documenting it on the intrawebs? Pretty fuckin' stupid.

However, if getting 18-20 year old coeds liquored-up is wrong.....

Sorry guys, I'm a gentleman, which means all pictures have been "deleted":wink2:


Good lord Jeff. I appreciate that you must have had some difficult experiences with alcohol but you can't push it on everyone else. A picture on the internet with a caption that IMPLIES drinking alcohol is not proof of anything. You can't see what's in that cup, you can't tell shes drunk, all you can tell is that she's a pirate. By your logic we can't hire teachers that drive cars, they have the liability to hit a child on the way in. No buses either, there's a liability of a crash. Of course, we can't have electricity in the room, there's a liability for a child to get electrocuted.

Besides...

You can't seriously want to ban alcohol. It tastes great, makes women appear more attractive, and makes a person virtually invulnerable to criticism.

do you consider it fun when she shows up hungover to your child's class and loses supervision of that child and/or is at an inadequate state to teach?

do you have ANY evidence to support this claim?

abuse of alcohol is wrong and those who drink responsibly then congratulations
Click to expand...

but you obviously would still fully support their termination of employeement even if they do drink responsibly because at some point somewhere sometime they "might" abuse it. correct?

but if you are asking me the choice between eliminating deaths, health problems, drinking crimes by eliminating alcohol as opposed to supporting it merely as somebody non-necessary drink of enjoyment then i think the decision is fairly obvious with little to no benefits coming from consumption of alcohol.

and opinions are like assholes. you don't like the law? get enough people to agree with you and change it. it is not your right nor the right of any other individual to pass their moral objections upon others as if they are.

my needs are of no importance. however when a dumbass kills somebody while driving impaired it is pretty clear that if alcohol was never there the chances of him causing an accident are grossly decreased.
Click to expand...

*shrug* i say we leave the beer be and outlaw cars. it wasn't a beer bottle flying through the air that killed anyone. it was sheetmetal meeting flesh and bone.

i know plenty of people who do as well. is their enjoyment worth more then little susie that is killed by a drunk driver or joe getting a hepatectomy?
Click to expand...

your intentions are just as wrong as the person who killed little susie. you judge me drinking a beer as wrong because someone else got plastered and drove. how exactly do you feel you or anyone else has the right to hold me responsible and limit my freedoms because of the actions of another? but its ok because it might somewhere sometime somehow keep someone from harm right?

A few questions:

Where's her parrot?

How do we know that's really grog?

No eye patch?

Any hooks or wooden legs?

Where's the fluffy shirt?

This chick isn't a pirate, so there's no way she can be a "drunken pirate". Therefore, she can't be fired for drunken piracy. Her costume is offensive to real pirates though. And for that, the proper punishment is flogging, not firing...

flogging's too easy for impersonating a pirate. i say keel haul her.

none are "showing" that this is a reality besides heart disease which is the case of athersclerosis. they have reason to believe but none of the studies have shown this to be medically correct or peerly reviewed extensively as of yet. and moderate is the equivalent to half a beer or a glass of wine which nobody obviously obeys "moderation". not to mention that nobody drink alcohol for this reason so it is essentially irrelevant. medications still outperform any effect(if any) alcohol has as a treatment for any of those pathologic conditions. also in all fairness you could make a medical claim for really about anything. i could very easily sit here and claim that people that enjoy killing as a release of anxiety is a medically proven way of lowering blood pressure rates and relieving hypertension but that doesn't make it any better because it is worthless to mention. no different from alcohol causing crimes, fights, poisoning, drunk driving, etc.

oh yeah? well there aren't any mass tort class action suits against alcohol companies... of course we can't say that about the drug companies... Vioxx, Celebrex, Bextra...? using medication isn't the same as taking vitamins... :wink:
