Well I vape were commonsense and common courtesy dictates.
I know they are not as common as they should be. But hey I was brought up old school, what can I say
Common courtesy dictates that you don't demand other people bend to your will just because something offends you due to the fact that you are laboring under misinformation, disinformation and bias.
There are precious few places where common courtesy would dictate someone not vape. An indoor funeral. A church wedding during the ceremony. A daycare center full of toddlers. An ICU. Something tells me you have a much longer list in mind.
This has nothing to do with the common courtesy of the vaper. It's wrongheaded to assign the courtesy to everyone else by default and expect the vaper to accommodate them, regardless of the fact that they have no legitimate reason to be offended. If they claim they are, it's they who are being discourteous by insisting someone indulge their ignorance. It's them, not me, who needs to exercise common sense and common courtesy and leave me alone.
Under that logic, it is up to mixed race couples not to appear together where there could be some racists. Otherwise they'd be discourteous. The burden is on immigrants to stay out of places where xenophobes might be, because it's just not polite. People with long hair would be rude and lacking in common courtesy if they showed up somewhere frequented by rednecks and gay people are discourteous if they dare set foot somewhere homophobes could be lurking. Because, if something happened, it would be their fault for not exercising "common sense" and indulging the ignorance of someone else.
It's not a huge leap of logic to go from there to claiming that a woman who doesn't dress modestly deserves it if she gets raped. She didn't use "common sense".
Well, I can tell when people have legitimate objections and when they don't. I gave up the meme, the one that says it's always me who has the potential to be offensive, when I became a non-smoker. It's part of the mental adjustment necessary to really be a non-smoker and not just a wannabe non-smoker.
