THE GOOD OLD DAY'S

[Orange_Crush]

BTW Hitler wanted a ban on smoking also.He did manage to get gun control.

Hitler had a dog too.  Do you have a dog?  If you do, you must be like Hitler.

[Orange_Crush]

I guess this is just another example of" you are right and everyone that doesn't agree with you is wrong"?

That's exactly what this is an example of (though probably not the way you mean it).

Yeap, the Good Ole' Days; When Orange_Crush had something Positive to say........

Actually, I have a LOT of positive stuff to say, in fact, all my responses in this thread are a positive reaction to all the geezers sitting around saying that the "good ol days" were just hunky dory peaches and cream.  There is a lot to like about the "good ol days,"  but the fact is, everything that is negative about the world today can be directly attirbuted to the people who lived during the "good ol' days."

Cocaine, acid, hash....

ahhhh....the good ol days!

In fact I have a German Shepard ! But I'm not the one who wants something banned because i don't like it, right Comrade?

Banned?  Nope.  If you want to kill yourself, its your funeral...not mine.  If, however, you're killing yourself on my dime by taking a smoke break every 20 minutes or so or by causing the rest of my employees and myself to pay ridiculously high premiums because your choice will cost stupid money in the long run, then it becomes MY problem and I will urge you to seek other employment.

[hemihead]

Then you should urge your employees that drink to seek other employment( and maybe yourself too)  because of the aforementioned, days missed from work, drain on the economy,etc,etc.I guess your employees shouldn't be allowed to have breaks to use the restroom either because of the valuable time lost from their work.No lunch break either.Better junk your computers at your business because your employees probably waste more time playing around on the internet than doing actual work.Bottom line is , you are one of the Anti- Smoking Nazis.

Never had a problem with alcohol at my company, if there was, the offender would be urged to seeks counseling and, if that didn't work, would be fired.  As far as seeking other employment myself, I own the company...RHIP (rank has its priviledges).  I pay my guys well, give them plenty of vacation, they get an hour for lunch in an eight hour day (in other words, they work seven hours a day).  They also get plenty of "family time" (within reason) if they have a sick kid or whatever.  But the 7 hours that they are here, they work their asses off...this means no smoke breaks.  I also proivide them with insurance with full medical and dental PPO (at a cost to me of 700 dollars per employee every month...this is AFTER I make them contribute 200 bucks a month for their health insurance)  If I employed even one smoker, the cost to ALL my employees would be higher.  I already had one guy quit smoking because he had it too good here.  When he had quit for a year, I bought he and his wife dinner at a nice place.  Like I said, I am an excellent employer (is easy to do when you only have 5 employees).

Oh, incidentally, my brother and I are the only ones with internet service here...again...rank has its privledges.

It figures, a Yuppie.  That explains the " Holier than thou" attitude. If you feel that the  " good old days "were so terrible, why do you own a car from that era? Is it a prestige thing? A fad? Or is it because all your yuppie friends have one too?

[Shakey]

What is a yuppie?   

[rt green]

this is a pretty good fight. i wonder who can piss farther?

[Dale The Bold]

I think a lot of times, we are nostalgic about our youth.  I would love to take a time machine back to the early 1980's and spend a week in my hometown.  But if I couldn't return from that time period and had to live out my life from there on, I would probably realize that things aren't really that different.  Our history has a novelty to us (just watch a 70's movie and pay attention to the traffic), and we often do see it through rose-colored glasses.

Shoot, I remember back when people wouldn't have sex until they were married, then they kept it only within the marriage.  Now, I realize that it's never been that way, and that I'm the only one who sees marriage like that.

What is a yuppie?   

"Metrosexuals" that can usually be seen in minivans or a prius driving around suburbs whining about gas prices, rednecks, and how that awful teacher gave their child, Shaiydon, a failing grade.

[Brock Samson]

This is a great exampe of the kinds of threads that make DODGECHARGER.COM THE BEST PLACE ON THE internet.. 

why I remember by cracky when goyels were goyels and men were men,. Mister we could use a man like Herbert Hover again....
oh the way Glen Miller played,. songs that made the Hit parade,.. Guys like us we had it made,.. those were the days..
these things in the end are relitive...
i realy like the way the media is blamed for all the ills of today myself.. used to be the commies...

Ooooohhh, OK - I thought a yuppie was simply someone that made more money than the person that was calling them a yuppie did.

Sort-of...

Incidentally Brock, I really was not blaming to blame the media for all of the world's ills.

The media still do provide a valuable service, the problem is that, like all businesses, they have to make money.  Sometimes, in the pursuit of that money, they take part in some bandwagon-jumping that borders on sensatioanlism.

As an example, do you remember when that kid got attacked by a bull shark and got his arm ripped off?  For almost 6 months after that attack, you could not torn on a news show or opena a newspaper without an article where bull sharks were involved in some way, shape, or form.  In fact, it didn't stop until 911. 

[Brock Samson]

sorry i dont remember that bull shark story...
i do remember 911 though, i for one didn't need to be reminded...
