I am not condemning chainsaw juggling, however if my friend (who is drunk) decided to try this for the first time , I would like to think I would talk some sense into him.Quote:

By the way, that was sarcasm in the other thread. :jointsmile:

you arent her personal babysitter, and you arent here to make her choices for her. the fact is that she is a grown woman, and capable of making her own decisions.
and to humor your first comment..yeah if my friend was drunk, had no prior juggling experience..of course i wouldnt let him juggle chainsaws. that is common sense. darrgh.
The person the pregnant woman would be damaging is the child. It’s a debate of if you should intervene in a woman causing permanent physical and mental damage to her baby or should you stay out of it. I don’t know, maybe I’m missing your point.
my point is, its none of your business what the woman is doing, because it is her body.Quote:

to get to the point and bottom line...it is a bar, it is your job to serve, and not to push consciencous, religious, or personal beliefs on anyone. period.
I wouldn't serve her. But I'd tell her that there was certainly nothing stopping her from having a drnink in the privacy of her own home, where the only potential liability would be that of herself and her unborn baby.
I also wouldn't serve her if she were drunk and apt to try and drive a car. Again, the liability issue.
I just can't help but think of it in the same way as seeing someone beat their kids.
if drinking whilst pregnant were child abuse, there would be a law against it already.Quote:

I can't help but feel a little bit sad right now.
