Bio-hazard you say? So this is what will be needed to clean up if it spills over:

Somebody should put SlickSnake in a cremator and then he can report back as to whether or not its sanitary in there.

Its just ashes, its completely hygienic. If the diseased died of poisoning though, then the ashes could still contain that poison. Or possibly large quantities of mercury or something equally unpleasant. But its quite hygienic, even if its distasteful.

I give up on you stubborn trolls. I couldn't care less what you do with Uncle Cremus's cremains. But you better keep your stupid creamins out of my restaurants, or YOU will be the one eating them with your fajitas next time.

The fact is, they are heavily regulated to protect the people who have to work with them.

Once they leave the easy bake oven, you are free to eat them in brownies, snort them with your coke, smoke them with your angle dust, press them with glue and wear them as a hat, or mold them into blocks for the rug rats to play with.

In fact, I hope more stupid people abuse and get addicted to cremains, just so more states regulate them more heavily just to disappoint you all. It will be a Cremains Apocalypse.

Maybe some smart ass drop out frat boy here with plenty of free time on his hands in mom's basement can start a cremains support group, just so you can get free cremain sprinkled doughnuts once a week, while you try to kick the habit.

Epic pwnage is epic...

Dude. You asked everyone if you overreacted. Pretty much everyone said yes. Now you're acting butthurt about it.


Grow up.

Rageface? You gullible sap.

I was trying to come up with a similarly silly companion topic earlier, and simply waited to post it. I'm now bored from milking feigned disgust here, and from dealing with holier than thou pontificating internet stupids attacking the OP and me just for shits and giggles to make them feel better about themselves. And a pretty pathetic bunch, too, I must say. At least I have good reasons to dislike some of you, where as most of you seem to dislike yourselves a lot more than I ever could. So I'm not worried in the least what you think about me in public.

Damn, am I turning into a Moonbeam disciple?

And rather than debase myself like the others and attack the op, I instead rightly preferred to lash back and attack the blood sucking vipers, who are evilly killing this forum one clueless poster at a time.

What's good for the gander is good for the goose.

Tally HO, friends!

Dude... Moonbeam has a brain. In spite of his eccentricities, he's smart.

You're an ass. And you don't seem particularly bright. You're defending an indefensible position. Not a good thing.

Please just post a link demonstrating that ashes are a biohazard and a health code violation. If none exists, then please go away.

How many times do I need to restate this, and in how many ways before you and the rest finally comprehend and understand it?

There's a crap load of stuff that can be considered a biohazard or a hazardous waste product. Some of it is clearly spelled out in hazmat response guides and training manuals. That don't mean EVERY SINGLE CHEMICAL or BIOLOGICAL COMPOUND has a LAW specifically written about it, or concerning its cleanup from a response team.

And just because there is not a specific law addressing something as a biohazard or hazardous waste does not mean an environmental enforcement type of person such as a fire marshal or a health inspector cannot designate it as such, say in the event that a cleanup has to take place.

You can pretend it's perfectly harmless all you want too, and make flawed comparisons like everyone else if you choose too. But that don't make you right, and me wrong.

And Mr. Hospitality law up there is also being disingenuous in his answers, because he knows full well a health inspector can decide himself about these matters, and has the absolute final say until it goes before a judge, if it gets that far.

He does have a brain, but sometimes I do feel like he's just trying to irritate people with the whole "self hate" schtick.

Biohazard Shmiohazard.

There are lots of reasons why a restaurant can either refuse service and/or ask a patron to leave. They set the rules of admittance for example:
1) A woman with too much perfume on
2) A kid without a shirt or shoes
3) A crying baby or screaming kid
4) A man without a jacket
5) Customers acting offensively (shouting or cursing)
6) No children or babies allowed
7) You cannot stay over 2 hour

Restaurants are allowed to be old-fashioned - they can set any codes of dress and behavior they want. Provided the Human Rights Act is not breached (see below), restaurants may impose conditions of entry or ask you to leave.

There are many grounds restaurants can't discriminate on, including sex, religion, race, disability, and age (except where the person is under 16).

The point is that an urn containing a dead persons ashes whether biohazard or not is also at the discretion of the restaurant manager. Should a customer ‘enquire’ about a potential problem, it is the duty of the restaurant to check it out and decide if anything needs to be done. Applebee's looked into this and decided it was best to take action.

NOTE: Most children are taught at an early age that calling others names is childish and now falls into the ‘bully’ category. Is this how you act around your family your friends and work? If you don’t like or agree with something you resort to name calling? Obviously you require the need to ‘bully’ to convince others of your weak arguments. Your parents and school did not teach you correctly.

And yet I bow to you and the self loathing angry others who pontificate endlessly on internet forums just to feel superior to others. Even your nick reeks of a conceited smug superiority to others that is both insulting and insinuating. I'm sure you proudly leave emotional wreckage and turmoil where ever you go. So whoozyerdaddy now?

BTW, I'm happy that something like you thinks I'm an ass.

Most of the posters here are disingenuous at best in their snide responses, and just full of self hatred and loathing they project on others at worst. Nice crowd of misfits, huh?
