Barbecue: One of the world's great foods.
America's greatest contribution to global cuisine.
A local woman is suing Roy's Meat Service, a local meat market and barbeque restaurant located in East Nashville, claiming that the smell of grilling and smoked meats is a "nuisance." ...-Sherman
There's always got to be that one person who believes the world should revolve around them.
ReplyDeleteHonestly... like, we joke and all, I know I enjoy them, but this type of issue is only going to continue. It will granularize and atomize to the most miniscule of issues. Like vegans and neighbirhood BBQ.
ReplyDeleteAt some point, hopefully sooner rather than later, people need to wake up to the fact that we are all individuals imbued with free will. You can't tell me or anyone else what to do. Theres this notion among a segment of our society that thinks other people need to adhere to their norms, that somehow the freedom granted to everyone gives them the individual right to subjugate others? Its weird as fuck to me how one can claim individual freedom while telling someone else what they can't do.
No, freedom doesn't work that way.
Like many other matters these days, they will simply redefine issues they don't like.
"Theres this notion among a segment of our society that thinks other people need to adhere to their norms"
DeleteKinda like a nazi, eh?
99% of what you‘ve been told about Nazis is incorrect.
DeleteFed!
DeleteLie-yah ! Slanderous remark detected !! Burn the Witch !!!
ReplyDeleteThe smell of bar-b-que is one of Life's Simple Pleasures, fun for young and old.
Reminds me of city folk expanding out to rural areas.and complain of the smell of cows, chickens, and hogs. Who lived where 1st? When my wife and I moved to small town Indiana, she also complained. I always commented back at her to remind her that she grew up between steel mills and oil refineries.
ReplyDeleteAnd the sound of people shooting guns on their own properties. My new neighbor's wife figured that out the hard way after she tried to sic the local police on me. The cops ended up just laughing at her.
DeleteSomeone should put her out of every bodies misery. Jess sane.
ReplyDeleteRiding motorcycles in the deep South. One thing I enjoyed was loading stuff on my bike before daylight and you could smell the Barbque's firing up. In a city, town or in the country it was in the air. A great American smell.
ReplyDeleteThe house next door was recently sold and now has a Rainbow flag out front in the street view. Definitely a Liberal transplant
ReplyDeleteTough cookies, she lives in the bar-b-que belt of the nation.
ReplyDeleteFirst off I am a major BBQ fan, that being said there was a time when a son of mine pretty much lived next door to a BBQ shack for about a year after college. It does get old folks, living next to that 24/7 is something you should try once before saying how great it would be to live in that spot
ReplyDeletei believe this
DeleteYes, but who forced that on her?
DeleteWe'd get city folk who visited now decided to live here. Most would last one year then move away. They'd complain about too much this, not enough that. People rejoiced when those types left.
She’s the same as the people who buy huge houses alongside the freeway and then complain about the traffic noise.
ReplyDeleteOr people that move to farm country and complain about flies, smells, and the noise of farm equipment.
DeleteYa think that's bad lady? Imagine if you lived in the Auschwitz neighborhood in the early 1940s
ReplyDeleteThat was not even funny! And if you don’t think so then you need help
DeleteWhy?
DeleteDamn, Bogs. You should have yer own show.
DeleteSeveral similar cases here. They built a housing tract next to a cattle feed lot/auction barn and then the new home owners complained so much about the flies that the cattle place had to sell out. Another one, a dirt track auto racing place that had been there for at least 60 years was forced to shut down after they built some houses nearby and then the new owners started bitching about the race noise which only occurred on Saturday nights in the spring thru early fall and not every week. One last one, another cattle feed lot- housing tract spat in what was once prime ag land and now is all houses mainly occupied by 'immigrants' from south of the border, had to shut down due to flies. Here, and I thought the fly was their national bird of their lovely homeland.
ReplyDeleteI suggest she move to Dearborn MI or Minneapolis MN
ReplyDeleteAs is so often the case, Mark Twain weighed in on this, "It is easy to find fault, if one has that disposition. There was once a man who, not being able to find any other fault with his coal, complained that there were too many prehistoric toads in it." - Pudd'nhead Wilson's calendar
ReplyDeleteThe California reference is apt. Twenty or thirty some odd years ago, a BBQ restaurant in San Diego was shut down after $50,000 of air scrubbing equipment proved inadequate in curbing the smell of cooking meat.
There's a solution to this problem. Watch the movie Fried Green Tomatoes for the answer.
