Gromnir Posted December 18, 2014 Posted December 18, 2014 But how much for the sexual harassment lawyers, that's what I want to know. am knowing you is joking, but am curious if other nations has sexual harassment laws different than the US... we can do a check we s'pose. sex harassment is a title vii thing and is related to hostile Workplace situations. more rare is sexual harassment as a nuisance... am meaning legal tort nuisance. is there actual laws in canada and elsewhere that criminalize for some random schmuck on the street or in a gym propositioning a woman, or man? hell, starting in the 90s, gyms in CA kinda replaced bars as the most likely place to hook-up ... though am guessing the internet has now replaced bars and gyms. am recalling a cynical bit o' pith regarding unwanted sexual advances... am sure we is getting wrong: the law protects a woman until she is eighteen and nature protects her once she turns fifty (sixty?) but for everything in-between, she is far game.

Malcador Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 (edited) Hm, I think we have the same as the US in terms of laws. Only a matter if you are working there and harass a coworker. Though with recent events it may become a criminal offense Bah, UPS guy delivered my package to the wrong house. Glad my neighbour was decent and didn't jack my package, else that would have been a hell of a headache. Edited December 19, 2014 by Malcador Why has elegance found so little following?

Bartimaeus Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 Gromnir changed his avatar for the first time since I started coming here way back in 2008. My day has been ruined. Quote How I have existed fills me with horror. For I have failed in everything - spelling, arithmetic, riding, tennis, golf; dancing, singing, acting; wife, mistress, whore, friend. Even cooking. And I do not excuse myself with the usual escape of 'not trying'. I tried with all my heart. In my dreams, I am not crippled. In my dreams, I dance.
LadyCrimson Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 My gym is $120 a year and doesn't have much besides weights. It has sexy girls though, something my hypothetical home gym wouldn't have as much of. I would like to frequent a gym where all the male Olympic swimmers workout/practice. And not because I want to use the elliptical or the pool. 1 “Things are as they are.

Woldan Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 (edited) Next time I'm in Iceland I'll make sure to visit the legendary Jakobol gym, thats where the strongest of the strongman lift. No swimming pools, no saunas, no couch, no fanciness anywhere, just a huge bleak and cold storehouse at the end of the world, filled with absolutely ridiculous weights, oversized atlas stones, absurd lifting contraptions and experts. In other words - heaven. I want to visit that holy site and touch if not attempt to lift some of those sacred weights with my unworthy hands. Now THATS a ''gym'' I truly want to visit.

Are you mad, don't you know how dirty public transports are? The cadaveric poison stains and gut goo from the hundreds of run over homeless would be incredibly hard to remove from my deluxe sportswear. Oh, and what I did today: repaired my washing machine, it just didn't pump the water anymore. Disassembled it but couldn't really find a problem, after that it worked again. And being strong does have a practical value, I could pick up and lift that darned thing around (full of water) without breaking a sweat and more importantly without asking any of my blasted neighbors for help.

Could you just bench the homeless? I know their wretched frames don't weigh much individually, but I can see you folding them together into a gigantic cat's cradle of sad stories, and hoying it over a river. 4 "It wasn't lies.

Woldan Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 (edited) I guess I could impale a few dozen homeless on a 10 meter long construction steel bar and use that as barbell. That would keep the streets clean, my wallet fat and my body strong. Three flies with one swat! (Thats even better than using the poor as firewood substitute to heat my home.)

Tale Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 Is it considered rude to confront cold callers with the fact that they act like they learned how to be friendly from a pamphlet? I'm asking for a friend. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."

Labadal Posted December 20, 2014 Posted December 20, 2014 I was mourning my PS4. it died and is going to heaven/hell. Will get a new (most likely refurbished) one from Sony. I guess I can play Suikoden V this weekend.

Or I could dring a glass of vodka and complain here. I'm not a big fan of parks. Even better, to reach the nearest park, I would have to walk for about 50 minutes. It would clear my head, but who needs that? I did finish watching Twin Peaks. Really liked it. I saw they will do another season in 2016 but I am expecting it to be crap.

I don't know what Scandinavians are like with their electronics ... I've never bought anything from IKEA. All Stop. On Screen.

Gfted1 Posted December 20, 2014 Posted December 20, 2014 "Thank you, Im not interested." *click* Well, thats what I used to say. I no longer even have a home phone and I very rarely get sales calls to my cell for some (lucky) reason. That and I don't answers calls from numbers not already programmed into my phone.
