You don't have to convince me (and have not) that you are not being rude when you intentionally misbehave to drive off a stranger in a public place, or that someone else's rudeness justifies your own. You might want to read all the responses to see where our admittedly small sample of society comes down on all this.
It appears that virtually everyone but you seems to think your behavior, even if it is not as exaggerated as you reported before being criticized, is nothing to brag about, and certainly not defensible.
As for the Holocaust, most of those being shipped to th concentration camps, and most other countries, were unaware of what was being done until it was over -- but I'll point out that those who moved to somewhere else were the survivors. Take a lesson.

You are a rude battleaxe that needs to be disbarred from every casino....NO,
make that every public establishment.How can you compare video poker machine encroachment to the holocoust?
You sound like such a miserable person that I bet the only close companion you
have operates on two batteries.________________________________

5a. Smoking Ban in AC
Posted by: "coachvee@aol.com" coachvee@aol.com coachvee2000
Date: Mon Oct 19, 2009 4:35 pm ((PDT))Hi Gang:
Does anyone know if there has been any renewed talk about the 100% smoking
ban at casinos in AC?
Last year at this time, after it was in effect for a couple of weeks, the
city council (or whoever it was) knuckled under and went back to the 75-25%
split for "at least one year" after the casinos cried poverty. If the
economy picked up, we were told, the 100% ban would again be seriously
considered. But, it seems, any talk of that happening has been forgotten. Does
anyone know the skinny?
BTW, Hedy and I will be leaving Wednesday for a 13-night cruise in the
Mediterranean that leaves from Rome and visits Turkey, Greece, Egypt and
Israel. We head to Europe riding the crest of a five-trip winning streak that
continued last weekend at Harrah's where Hedy hit aces with a kicker twice for
2G scores. It's really amazing how many times we (mostly she) hit that
hand.
We also completed her Seven Stars requirements for the year so now we're a
family of 14 stars!!
We saw Jason Alexander Show (he plays a motivational speaker/life coach
named Donny Clay) and thought he was pretty funny ... especially when he came
out in a skin-colored body suit with a large wad stuffed in his crotch! He
made some people who came up onstage a little uncomfortable. He also sung a
few songs and has a pretty good voice. All in all, a fun show.
Regards,
CoachVee & Hedy[Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
