Continuing to do things you know you shouldn't

dr imago you enjoy a cigar at the cigar bar on occassion, if that is as you say, then i think that it is an extremely healthy choice actually considering the excess, as mentioned by others on this thread... -

Amen to that, my brother, amen!



Wait...what flavor pudding?...........

ie "hookers" that the upper echelon can indulge in so readily.... it's all about choices in this life we have


abstinence only leads to imbalance, without education, from what I can see in the world around us and from what I feel when I don't be my self
so when i go out for cake , i really go out for cake .....whatever my heart desires and what a joyous feeling too being relaxed

then again....perhaps we will never find the real meaning of life anyway

monty python hasn't managed to convince me yet either ...but oh......

how funny

I occasionally run with scissors, and a few times I've left the house wearing underwear with holes.

I actually did that as a six year old. I missed my eyeball by less than a centimetre when I tripped over. I punctured a hole in hole in my skin that had blood pouring out.

If the search and rescue team takes risks looking for you, that makes you a bad person if you were careless in your hiking habits. I'm not sure hiking alone qualifies as careless. Sometimes there isn't anyone to go with or you really do enjoy being alone.

Hey, I agree with that.

Couple a points: the people who do this are paid to do it, it's got to be something they enjoy doing, it sure as hell must beat the hell out of sitting behind a desk, and there are inherent risks in everything...I have a hangnail that could become infected, if I don't do anything, it could kill me!

While this can cost a lot, I'd rather spend the money keeping someone out hiking, who is likely a productive member of society (even tho a lot of them are lefties) alive, then spending that money on some drunken drug addict living under a bridge. I've already provide him with a place to stay, I shouldn't have to pay for anything else for him.

Correct. The second week/ten days of the search I alluded to above was all-volunteer. And I am myself a member of a SAR team so I'm quite aware of what one "should" and "shouldn't" do when hiking alone. As I stated in my original post, I occasionally fail to tell anyone where I'm going or, more frequently, I deviate from my reported route. That's the "doing what I shouldn't" part of it.

But this is a derail. Back to what other people do that they "shouldn't"...

While orgs. like MADD, in their irrational pique, and anti-smoking fascists would ban all alcohol and tobacco,

MADD is not in favor of banning all alcohol.

Around these parts, most of the search and rescue outside of police and military are volunteers. The exception would be if they were going to search for you within a fire district of paid fire fighters. Most of the rural fire districts are manned by a few paid and the rest volunteer staff.

When I was sixteen, I used to play with BB Guns...I was the one your mums have warned you about. I no longer see outta my left eye...I never have shot a BB Gun since.

Guess I learned that lesson?

p.s. TC...how do you always seem to bring in the "Leftist" argument to virtually any topic?
