Selfish, is what it comes down to. Smokers are selfish.

Why should I be punished because you are a priss?

ACK!

Selfish is that everyone, everywhere has to cater to you.

Something I was saying earlier about empathy.

Unless they are a publicly traded company they are privately owned, therefore private property.

They reserve the right to refuse service to anyone.

Do they have the right to refuse service based on race? Gender? Sex?

Is smoking comparable?

I'm asking for the drug to be banned or get off the backs of addicts that are paying massive amounts of taxes to the state.

Why does have to be all or nothing? Why do we have to either ban it outright or allow it everywhere?

You pay taxes to cover some of the costs you incur upon society for your habit, you also pay taxes to encourage you not to buy it (because some of you need reasons other than health).

Smokers are addicts that true.

Junkies are addicted to narcotics, usually heroin, a.k.a junk.

Thus, junkie.

Get your facts straight.

ACK!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Junkie

A junkie (or junky) is a heroin addict. The word has also come to be used to describe addicts in general. People enthusiastic about a given thing sometimes call themselves junkies (as in the term "science fiction junkie" or "political junkie").

Yes. See below for why.

who the hell has been here arguing that smoking shouldnt be allowed

Certainly not me. I'm just saying they should be asked to take it outside.

and blah blah blah and im saying that smoking is allowed oudorrs

And I've agreed.

and ur till *****ing cause of second hand smoke and have to walk by it

I have? Where? I've not even talked about walking by it. I've said about 100 times in this thread that smokers should be asked to take it outside.

and yada yada ya and im the bat **** crazy person

Absolutely. See this post as evidence.

Where do you fit in? You're a crazy right winger. You're not a smoker but you know you don't want the government making laws as long as it's protecting your Christian values.

Try again. You were saying that everyone who is supporting this is a junky who wants to get their next fix.

Why do I support this asher? Could it just be that people believe individual liberties are more important than your belief that the government should be everyone's nanny?

Mrs. T is crazy for disagreeing with you.

I am crazy for disagreeing with you.

Who isn't crazy for disagreeing with you asher?

Smokers are junkies, by definition. I'm sorry if it's not flattering, but it's frickin' true.

There you go. All of the smokers are junkies. And you are saying that everyone else is incapable of logic and reason?

Smokers are addicts/junkies. They're generally socially acceptable addicts, but that's receding -- which is why we're seeing laws like this passing around the world.

Oh, so when something is socially unacceptable society should ban it? That's a very interesting argument Asher.

You shouldn't. You should be inconvenienced by your own addictions, and not other people, though.

[Mrs. Tuberski]

Flip the point here is that some bars allow smoking some dont those that dont the smokers go to and dont ***** nor do they light up the ones that do we light up the non smokers want to ***** cause its allowed and cry cancer simply solution got to the bar up the road that says no smoking here not that hard to understand

No they are already protected by law and are not lifestyle choices.

No

Why does have to be all or nothing? Why do we have to either ban it outright or allow it everywhere?

You'd have to ask Asher that. He wants the all, I don't want the nothing.

You pay taxes to cover some of the costs you incur upon society for your habit, you also pay taxes to encourage you not to buy it (because some of you need reasons other than health).

As a smoker I pay far more taxes than a non-smoker does.

ACK!

[Flip McWho]

Nobody has said that. All that has been said is that you shouldn't be allowed to smoke in a confined public place.

Why should I be punished because you are a priss?

Meanwhile his prissyness makes you walk outside, whereas your addiction gives people (other than you) cancer.

*raises eyebrow*

Then you won't mind or complain or petition the government when Asher gets married to his male SO?

If it's a harmful and addictive substance, why is it legal?

There will be a million children born in the next period of time. Statistics say that a certain number of them will take up this perfectly legal, and sold at every corner store, supermarket, and pharmacy... habit.

If there is such a concern about health, why is it a legal substance? Why will these newborns be subjected to it?

How many out of a million? 1,000? 10,000? 100,000?

[notyoueither]

IOW, get off the pot and ban it, or **** off from harrassing the previous generations of 'tax payers'.
