public health

n. An industry that likes to mask social judgment in terms of people’s health and well being. So for example if you think crowds are unhealthy in general but not for people protesting what you consider to be a worthy cause, then you are in the field of public health. Not to be confused with pubic health which is more important

It’s great when public health professionals steered people to harm reduction during the HIV crisis rather than abstinence only education.

Why are public health professionals saying one type of protest is unsafe but another one is?

public facetox

Walking around in public, swerving, bumping into things and people because you are so involved in facebook on your phone.

Dude, I was buried in my blackberry and accidentally knocked over a three year old. Needless to say, but her dad punched me square in the mouth for "public facetox"!

Public Shaming

Current form of societal control used to manipulate your 8 year old son being accepted into a rec league baseball team. Related: public servant, good ole boy, chewing tobacco, carpetbaggers.

All the local kids got rejected from the team until their tax paying local voting parents used public shaming on the rec league into accepting them.

public school

A school for people who actually want to have a life.

Pros:
Free
Lots of different kinds of people
Lots of sports
Lots of clubs
NO UNIFORMS
Less rich people
More friendly people
No religion

Cons:
Bomb threats
Gangs
Nerds

If you go to a private school, do you really think you are better? Does having a bmw or an alienware make you better than someone who goes to a public school and has 10x the life you do? People actually dress not all the same and listen to many knids of music. There is usually a real tech lab with an AUTO SHOP(a place you work on cars and get dirty for the yuppies out there), a WOOD SHOP (where you can build shit), and WOODS to smoke in.

Poor/middle class people really ARE friendlier.

I go to Greece Arcadia High School, a public school in Rochester.

Public Transportation

A means of urban transportation used mainly by the underprivileged and the working poor

Public Transportation in many cities is a rolling crime wave. Muggers, Crips, Bloods, Pachucos, Hip Hop assholes, Gangstas, A-Rabs, and other criminals ride public transportation with their ghetto blasters blaring. They challenge honest working stiffs, force them to stand, steal their money, and make them listen to evil Hip Hop "music."
