The Indubitable Katie-Kat Leomund I couldn't care less what people do in their free time, or eat at home. The only time I start caring is when it starts to infringe on MY ability to do what I want in my free time or eat at my home. Then I get all kinds of pissed. I'm exactly the same way. I don't care if people eat meat, I don't mind them eating meat in front of me, I politely decline it when offered, and explain my reasons if pressed, but it ******** pisses me off when they try to force me to eat meat or try to make me feel bad about my food choices. Leave me alone, and I'll leave you alone. Shouldn't that just be standard? Quote: For instance, I don't smoke, but if I did, I know that I would want to be able to. In California within about the last year or so, it became illegal to smoke in BARS. For Pete's sake, bars, apparently it doesn't matter how much cirrhosis of the liver you have, you'll be damned if you might inhale a few stray carcinegens. In bars? You're kidding. Bars are supposed to be one of those places where smoke is a given. Gimme a break! I have doubts about secondhand smoke being that harmful, anyway. I'm an asthmatic in a house full of smokers, and I'm in perfect health. I'd think that since the lungs repair themselves, then any damage done by secondhand smoke over the course of a few hours would be gone in less than a day. confused Yeah it's unreasonable.

Ok so I identify myself as a vegetarian, when in fact technically I'm not. I stopped eating meat 2 years ago and now I eat it very rarely (as in maybe thrice a year?). I became vegetarian because of the book Fast Food Nation in addition to the fact that my brother became a vegetarian. I got a lot healthier, lost some weight and generally felt better about myself. So I for the most part don't eat meat. However, like a couple weeks ago, I really wanted a burger, so I had one. It didn't really bug me. But I'm back to not eating meat again cause I feel more healthy when I don't. Go figure. And on top of that for whatever reason I tend to be excessively emotional/irritable (imagine PMS) when I eat meat and I also have strange dreams more often. *shrug*

The no smoking in bars/restaurants is less for the drunks and more for the people who work there. Can you imagine not being a smoker and having to spend eight hours a day breathing in someone else's smoke. Can you imagine getting lung cancer just because you couldn't "just walk away" from your job? I'm sorry. I hate cigarette smoke. Yes, you have every right to pollute your lungs if that is your wish. It doesn't hurt me any if you die of cancer (my grandmother did, that hurt but on an emotional level not a physical one). But I'll thank you not to kill me. regarding the vegan/vegetarian/carnivore debate... again: if you don't want to eat meat, that's fine. I don't like cheese (most dairy really). I don't eat that. No one can or should make me. However, if I want a nice juicy steak, no one should scold me for it either. Vegans can eat their live yoghurt cultures (those things are alive, at least my food is dead), I'll eat my chicken.

I believe that being around smokers should be acknowledged as an inherent job hazard of being a bartender. Just like drowning for crab fishermen in Alaska. If you have some form of hydrophobia then it would be a terrible idea for you to attempt that vocation. The same way as people who want to bartend but don't want to be around smoke. Besides there have always been smokeless establishments, if it matters so much to you, apply there. You should have to work around the consumer base, not the other way around.
