Wow, Oregon Vet, are you familiar with the term, "poetic License?" Rofl, you really "went off like a firecracker." You are welcome to post your opinion but a critique of mine is really not necessary.
That is all I did too. Didn't you recognize what I said as taking poetic license? Why not?
I thought everybody could understand poetic license.
poetic license n. The liberty taken by an artist or a writer in deviating from conventional form or fact to achieve a desired effect.
Seems to have worked pretty well.
Someone, leaving your place of business very dissatisfied, says, as they go through the door:"I would shoot you before I would do business with you again."
Was he using poetic license or not? Are you stupid enough to holler at him to get the hell off your property or you would whup his a$$ for him without knowing if he has just got out of the nut house AND has a gun in his pickup?
I don't like ANYONE to leave my place of business mad. Way too many crazies around and I don't have eyes in the back of my head.
Last month a kid came up to three kids sitting on a park bench and said:"This is south Salem." They looked at him and said:"This is North Salem, hahahaha don't you know that? hahaha."
Sort of the old... This is South Salem, hahaha poetic license.
A little poetic license. Ah, but it wasn't.
The kid pulled a gun and BAM one kid on the bench dead instantly with his brains blown out and the other two got away with just being wounded. The guy walked off. I don't think they have caught him yet.
The kid killed was a friend of mines nephew. 21 years old. THEY thought it was poetic license but he was serious.
But, that is the way life is. Some think it is funny but there are a LOT more who don't think it is funny... and a persons life depends on them.
But, if you read the definitions of "poetic license", none of them fit the "I would rather die..." you posted when writing to a company.
But, so what, you can say anything you want, same as I can. Part of 1A.
At least for a little while longer...we always hope for forever, but the way things are going... don't know. Will 1A and 2A be here next year? Don't know.
I DO know that there are MANY people who are working to make them GONE. I read about them all the time it seems like.
Are we happy yet? Having fun yet?
