well football fan, they sure weren't supposed to beat philly, indy, or washington, but they took care of miami. And if you hadn't noticed David Carr looks to be a pretty good quarterback trying to help this team turn a corner. I agree, a win against Dallas will put them on the road to where they want to go. but all the press would be about dallas's internal problems. Only beating jacksonville the following weak would bring them in the spotlight. then they would have tennessee and could be 4-3. ok now i'm dreaming. seriously As far as signs the Texans are turning it around. 1) David Carr playing well in the new system. 2) Eric moulds and Andre johnson, finally a number 2 reciever. 3) A good defensive game last game against Miami. 4) DeMeco Ryans looking like a good player to streghen our run defense. 5) Hope based on the new system and coaching and Mario Williams 6+)our coach doesn't need a BRA!!! but Parcels does. seriously he's built like an old british woman...what's up with that?

yes, differance is drinking and driving is already against the law(prohibited) and already being policed by the government. hey don't be pissed at me. First off be pissed at the restraunt owner he is making more than enough money to pay the damn waiters and waitresses, barmaids, etc. like every other buisness owner does. Instead of especting me to subsidize his cost of employment!!! second, nobody is forcing people to wait tables try going out and doing some jobs supposedly only the illegals will do, i did, you'll find it self-gratifying to have to work your ass of to earn a wage and people will appreciatte it with genuine respect. instead of having the notion having to tip someone for what they're supposed to be doing anyways weighing over their head. but this is off-topic.

You guy's keep whining about personal freedoms all you want cause you have no freaking clue what you are talking about. You wouldn't know a personal freedom if it bit you in the ass! Your personal freedom stops as soon as it infringes on mine. Seventh grade government! Oh no the good tippers are being forced out. Get a real job, stop relying on welfare and bitching about it. I am not subsudising anyones income but my own. Enjoy throwing away your money on smokes that make you look ignorant, throwing away money tipping(you might as well be throwing it a stripper). I guess smokers are better tippers congratulations, i guess they are used to throwing away their money.
-
smoking doesn't make you look like an anarchist or cool, never did, never will. It makes you look like a moron! And you must be bitter about it because you can't quit now. Just as a guess.

The whole point is I don't have a choice if I want to go to a public bar. Thats why they are trying to protect my freedom to do that with out being subject to harmful fumes. what are smoker's rights I must have missed that one is it in the bill of rights or something. comeon!
-
No you don't get it people have every right to make decisions for themselves the issue is unlike every other example you gave public smoking is forcing smoke on me its a by-product not an individual vice. So I believe, in my opinion, that smoking is an epidemic that affects more than just the people that partake in it, so it is the governments responsibility to ensure the health of the innocent is protected. Lest we all have to pay for it like we are now.(rising insurance costs) now excuse me while i go light one up Actually smoking is not even the 6th, 7th, or 10th thing i think about when i go into a bar but at the end of the night i think about it when i smell the stench and my eyes sting. I don't mind being called a puss on a message board either. I was just trying to make i thought a valid point people are overlooking about infringement of rights. I might not have verbalized it well enough but this issue is clearly different than falling off a ladder or drinking heavily or spreading the flu UNINTENTIONALLY.

you are right i gave them way to much. They do not look any better than us. Considering who they have played so far!! TO is going to look like a giant if Dunta Robinson is playing on him

As if turnovers a good thing, I wouldn't be pointing those out if I were you. Dallas lost by the same margin as Houston did to Philly: 14 points the texan lost by the score of 24-10 the cowboys lost by the score of 38-24 You were so much closer to winning then we were! right... and how about that defense I would not go bragging about that. You have beaten a horrible Tenessee team picked on a washington team without a running game(before Portis came back) Lost to Jacksonville And you lost to a very good philly team. I expect the Cowboys to beat the Texans. Never said I didn't. They should, but I like our chances to make it a competitive game. Especially if we Blitz like we did last week and get to that statue of a quarterback you have. Dallas definatelt has us beat at the cornerback and safety positions but I don't think anyone is scared of their d-line anymore.
-
How do you guys see the Cowboys Texans match up. They faired about the same against Philly as we did. I hope our defense can really put some pressure on Bledsoe that is what we need I think. We need Dayne to break out and have a big game to he has showed great stuff over the last two weeks just hasn't broken any big runs. But i think he will. Anybody know if Jerome Mathis is getting healthy? I heard maybe week 6 he would be back in the preaseason?
-
obesity is not a public health issue. The business I work at has about 60 employees, my premiums would surely be better if we fired the smokers! yeah! and the people with diabetes too! haha (proving your point) I am not scared of the government they have done a damn fine job creating the best country in the world in just over 200 years. I think we are getting off topic though.
-
What are you implying, that you have to be an idiot to go to a bar? for crying out loud, you think i could go to a bar with out somone puffing tar on me! try to imagine it it's a pleasant place
-
And you know I feel the same way you do. I just find it interesting to feel out peoples opinion on a subject like this. I don't think about it often. It is mostly just when it is an annoyance. I do find myself judging people that I see smoking. We all have flaws. I don't mind tighter restrictions is all. I guess I don't see it as a rights grab by authorites. maybe I am wrong. I have been wrong before. I think it was 19..... j/j.
-
Hey I ain't skeered. I'm just joining in the discussion, but I gotta believe that the absortion rate in the tightly packed bars i go into(admittedly not very often any more) is greater on my lungs in the bar than in the great oudoors with the infinate atmosphere we all share to dissipate the pollution. So I am talking about the inhaling not the emmitting. It's all about limiting the effects on your fellow man not controlling people because you never will
-
yes we should ban alcohol at bars where 51% of the crowd is not pedestrian.
-
relative to each other and the effect on the human respritory system your arguement does not hold weight. In my opinion. I don't start cars by sucking on the tailpipe either. And we are talking about confined spaces not the wide open sprawl i drive around in everyday. ^^^^look I used sprawl in a sentance^^^^ I belong!!!!
-
automobiles ie., private transport do not kill people on their own. They require another factor in this case humans to make an error in judgement. by themselves they are not a public health issue. ok so people have to smoke cigarettes. I liken this arguement to "guns don't kill people, people kill people" do we ban guns in public places? or private if that is what you want to call a restraunt. you can count on my support to ban Idiots from driving, yes!! and i get to pick out the idiots!! haha
-
ok then the problem is that it is a ban, not a law prohibiting smoking in public places, or privately owned and ran public places. semantics.. i'm in for a law that makes it illegal for someone to against my will damage my health along with there own in a place where i can not control it. that to me is infringing on my rights. you say go somewhere else. i say that is discrimination,. Where does it end?
-
man I see everyone's point in here. And God knows I am not for more governmental control. But dude is right it is a public health issue not a private rights issue. How can you consider a publically accesible establishment a private one? And it becomes a public issue the minute you exhale toxic fumes.

Historic Houston Visionaries & Most Prominent Socialites
westguy76 replied to Gary's topic in Historic Houston
I was wondering if this thread was related to the new series of the Bachelor? Has any one watched it? Apparently there is some Houston Socialite on the show who is very snooty and annoying. There is an article about her/it on www.houstonist.com -
I agree with you on one thing. I wouldn't move to Katy (or anywhere west) in a million years. It's just like Dallas IMO (no trees). Well, I have plenty of large! live oak trees around my house in the Katy area. So don't fall into generalizing areas you don't live in like the previous person did to the area you live in. I realize the perception is that of old rice fields but. In the last 30 years there have been tons of trees planted to fill in with the old ones and most of the Neighborhoods had severaloak trees planted on the lots. Even in South Katy areas Kelliwoods and Cinco ranch areas have become and are becoming pretty wooded. Also don't forget the Barker resivoir south of 1-10 it is a virtual forest with hike and bike trails to use.

shows you weren't paying attention the pass was tipped on the two point conversion and the reciever slid and would have been in perfect position to catch it if it was not tipped!

Hey Mark, you might want to have someone run a spell check on your bio on your webpage. No slam, I just wanted to be asshole too! it's FUN!!!

Maybe someday when you have the priviledge of signing a mortgage you will understand. and I don't mean that as a slight.
