Neighborhood associations are just another way for your money to be stolen. When you move into a community you basically pay a monthly charge for these people to send a letter out to tell someone to cut their grass or move their cars. I think my tax dollars are being spent better personally.

Nope, all the trees have to be "decorative" trees. They did allow maples because they were cheap and the developer (who was also the owner of the realty company who sold all of the new construction homes, and also the chairman of the neighborhood committee) could purchase a whole bunch for a low price, and plant them by the new houses. But the big guys...oaks, tall pines, sycamores...nope, not allowed. They never really enforced it though. We planted a Bald Cypress before we moved, and it was about 15 feet tall. Those bad boys get absolutely huge...I don't think anyone knew how big they get, so nobody said anything to us.... I'd like to know what that tree will look like in 20 years!!!!

A lack of large shade trees in the neighborhood is why there are gale-force winds blowing there at all times!! :scared:

It also doesn't aid memory loss. Don't even try to condemn a smoker when you Jer, have a far worse and Illegal habit.
Besides the studies on second hand smoke are still not completely determined. I have read articles stating second hand smoke is not worse than first hand.....Common sense would dictate this one would think But I am not going to go into it.
There still is no proof that marijuana causes brain cell damage from everything I have read on the subject. Also it does not contain all the chemicals that cigarettes do for flavor and to keep you addicted to them. And I bet you have no idea why pot is illegal, it has nothing to do with it's effects. One of my pet peeves people who claim to know about the demon weed without doing their research, and I'm not talking about what the government is telling you, and don't beleive what the "high times" type magazines tell you either as they are totally biased in the other direction. As for cigarette smoking I personally hate being around it , but I defend your right to smoke all you want , just please don't subject me to it. I also don't plan on getting into a 3 page debate over this. I just defended your rights as well as pointing out some things i know about the subect. If you feel offended by this I apolgize.

3. All bushes must be under 36 inches in height.
4. Outdoor grills are prohibited because they are unsightly.
5. All trees must be of a variety that does not grow to a large size....Crabapple, Bradford Pear, etc.
6. No boats allowed unless they are kept in the garage out of sight...next to the $40,000 truck that pulls it.
7. No motor homes or campers to take a vacation in....unless you can fit those in the garage too.
8. No pools.
9. No outdoor garden sheds to store tools or mowers in. Put them in your garage next to your boat and your truck.
10. No fencing allowed except for approved white vinyl fencing, 36 inches and under. Style must match everyone else's.
11. All additions or changes to your house must be approved by the neighborhood committee.
(No kidding, I live in a very snooty city that dictates *everything*, and these rules are all real. Most of these came from the neighborhood covenant where I used to live, with the exception of the grill, truck, and dog size rules. Those came from a development a few miles away.)
But there is no rule against a whole yard full of unsightly kids toys?? Please...how many swingsets, sandboxes, bikes, monkey bars, life-sized plastic cars, and trampolines does one kid need???? That is waaaaay more unsightly to me than a bush taller than 36 inches or a grill is!!

These rules sound like the "anti-redneck-checks".
WOW! I'm glad I live in the country.
That neighbor of JD's parents would have a stroke if she got a load of some of our farm animals. How about a pig pen next to her fence? :thinking:

Some how I knew you were going to say this. So what if they smell different? I hate the smell of weed.....it is nausiating to myself. But let me ask you this. When a customer comes in smelling of weed and obviously high (which does happen) do you go the opposite way? Are they trashy people to you. Watch your words is my whole point. I watch you sit here and insult people with your comments all the time. I am actually tired of it. Either learn how to express yourself without being rude and calling people names or shut up. I will refrain from saying what I really wish to as this is not the place to do it.
My way, no offense taken, you, unlike someone else, apparently know how to get your point across without insulting people.

Unlike smokers, i dont go out in public(its very rare i even smoke up). In the rare times i do help people who smell like weed, yes actully i do walk in a different direction in the VERY few times in my whole life i have had someone walk up to me smelling like weed.
Sorry but smoking as a whole is quite trashy, and it is looked down big time by society, so much so that buisness' are starting to lay people off for smoking because it is a HUGE health liability. My few rare acts are completely different than sitting in public and having to smoke the other half of YOUR cig. Not my problem if you want cancer, honestly i wish the best to you...great...but do it in your home!...or in your own car when no one else is around.
atleast stoners (not including myself because im not one) smoke in there own homes away from the public,...yes it is of fear of getting caught...yada yada... but alteast there not forcing the greater population to join in with them.
face it your habbit is discusting... you even smell of it.
hahaha
*you honestly think i care what you think of me in a forum?*
~Chris
heck all i have to do is change my name... and say a few nice things in a thread toward your point...and im your new best friend. ...kinda sad how you let things like this bother you.

Ok, it is banned at some companies. It is banned in some restaurants. In fact the only indoor place I can smoke now where I live is in a bar, which I don't frequent much anymore. So you can shop, eat, and work indoors, without an invasion to your health. My habit is no longer infringing on you. Yet you still complain. Why?
You walk in a different direction from Pot Smokers when you encounter them, yet your own smell and the smell of your home doesn't bother you? Why walk the other way then?
I have already explained my cleanliness habits as to not infringe on other people with my habit, yet you still feel the need to say I smell disgusting. THAT is what I am talking about. Not your view, which I can respect. But the fact you feel the need to label all smokers disgusting and trashy.
Changing your name and backing up my point would not endear myself towards you. You lack the apparent communication ability to make a point without insulting. So I would still find you irritating and obscene. You can't shake your holier than thou attitude. It is who you are and that is what bothers me. From every post you make I can feel this insanely superior attitude from you.
Your acts however are an infringement on society. It is against the law one. Number two, you volluntarily violating the law and you create a market for drug dealers. Thus forcing us as a society and myself, to pay larger amounts of taxes to curb the drug smuggling and growing. You are not helping our economy in anyway, as I am. I am helping to keep the many people that work in the tobacco industry employed. If Smoking were made illegal today, how many people would be out of work and in need of jobs?
If an emergency comes up and you have to leave, you get behind the wheel and place everyone's lives in immediate danger. I do not have the option to get off the road as I do not know you are on it high. You however have the option to walk the other way if you see me coming as you can see my cigarette.
Nolt only are you rude towards smokers, but it is a form of discrimination. I wonder what would happen to you at your job if they found out how you treat customers with disdain and ignore their shopping needs because you have an unfounded aversion to them. You discriminate against people that smell. Some people wear to much cologne or perfume and it is very over powering.....does this make them less of a person like the smokers in your eyes? If so I truly feel for you and your intolerances. I wonder who else you discriminate from? You knwo you wouldn't even have a job if your company found this out due to customer complaints.
No, my problem is not your stance on smokings and smokers. My problem is your blatant discrimination and intolerances towards people with different views and lifestyles in general. You have expressed this on numerous occasions. For example, for the longest time you attacked anyone that didn't share your views on religion. Verbally, and rude about it. Yet, recently you have a change of heart about this and suddenly their views are ok. Have you apologized to anyone for being narrow-minded since on this topic. I suspect not.

You obviously do, or you wouldn't felt the need to respond or go on the offensive again trying to back up your earlier point and defending your own vice.

marijuana was only made illegal because back when it wasn't, there was too much competition for the tobacco companies, so they took it to the courts and said that marijuana was bad because it caused you to become high... so the courts banned it's use...

Wrong. Mexicans introduced Marijuana in it's recreatinal form (smoking) in the early 1900's when they started immigrating here.
During the Great Depression, massive unemployment increased public resentment and fear of Mexican immigrants, escalating public and governmental concern about the problem of marijuana.
This instigated a flurry of research which linked the use of marijuana with violence, crime and other socially deviant behaviors, primarily committed by racially inferior or underclass communities. By 1931, 29 states had outlawed marijuana.
It was a racial thing initially..................

darth, you're my hero today!!!

and i've noticed, chris, that you do often change... for only a few weeks ago, you were talking so proudly how you toke up all the time... now it's "i only do it once or twice a year"... before it was "i'm holier than swiss cheese", and now it's "ah who cares about religion, i find it all unnecessary"... from what i know about you, i cannot trust anything you say in these forums, and i agree 100% with everything darth just said... i couldn't have said it better darthy-poo.

interesting... when i did research for my paper on medical marijuana, i read it was banned because of competition with tobacco, which was a major market in the US at the time...

You are correct sir! Oh by the way I did smoke cigarettes from the age of 15 to 18. In fact I smoked like a chimney, so I don't understand why it bothers me so much now. I had to close friends who used to quit about every 2 months, it would only last a couple of weeks if that. One night we were at a go-go bar and they said the were going to quit and I said I would to, I played with the last cigarette all night without smoking it. I was going to smoke it on the way home when I was by myself, So I lit it took one hit and said to myself I don't need this, through it out the window and never smoked again. Come to think of it I hate go-go bars now to, I see no sence to spending money on womean who would'nt give you the time of day, unless you were stuffing money into their G-strings. Man I'm gettin' old!
