Stay home if you're that persnickety

S o Chicago has demanded that the actors in the hit musical "Jersey Boys" stop smoking on stage, no doubt to remind the world of the time we busted Lenny Bruce for using naughty words and when we fined chef ...

Thanks for the information. I'll stay home. We've quit going to movies because of vulgarities. We were going to see this show, but nada. I can get along fine without having my senses assaulted. Now that you've let us in on it, how about telling your theater reviewers to inform the public about language and themes they might find objectionable...or is it that the reviewers never find anything "objectionable?"

Let me guess "Craig." You're another lez-biterian who believes the evil government wrongly interferes with our lives by putting up stop signs, eliminating asbestos from buildings, and trying to protect people from second-hand smoke. It's pretty simple. If a gas pipe is leaking, you seal it to prevent illness to people. Right? No? Too fascist for you huh?
You showed you can write (sorta), but tell me, can you read and do research? Please, see what the CDC, WHO, American Lung, the Surgeon General, etc. have reported on SHS. Don't be afraid...you might learn something.

Ok, moron...all the other "vices" you mentioned in plays don't do actual harm to people's health. Second-hand smoke. Heard of it? There's no such thing as second hand booze is there?

Stay home is your advice for people who don't like smoking? Well, I guess I better not leave my f####ing house. That Sh*t is all over on the streets of downtown.

Craig - I was laughing my butt off and agreeing with everything you said while thinking at the same time that it actually isn't funny because the pc's have taken over the world. After seeing the first three posts, I believe I'll go home and have several drinks, smoke a bunch of cigarettes, and swear profusely at the way our world is loosing it's sense of humor and going down the dumper.

yes, congratulations people. second hand smoke is hazardous for my health while someone sitting next to me drinking isn't. Wait, unless the guy next to me has had too much to drink, gets rowdy, starts hitting on my wife and then punches me in the face when I tell him to knock it off! But seriously, the point can't be more clear: if smoking on a stage bothers you when you go see a play, don't go to the playhouse. Stay at home where nothing can from the outside world can ever hurt you! i will do whatever you please if you develop second hand smoke from seeing jersey boys too many times!

[Oh Stop That]

You might offend someone....

Sheesh, this country no longer has any AmeriCANs, we're loaded - on both sides of the isle, with American'ts...
Can't do this, can't do that, can't eat this, that or the other, can buy 'em and pay taxes on 'em, but, ya can't smoke 'em here.
Better not say what's on your mind / enter into constructive dialogue, you might offend someone.
Slow down, speed up, turn around, hop on one foot - go to jail, you forgot to say 'mother may I.'
Enough of the government big-mother already. I have one and she's terrific, thank you. I DON'T need nor want another. Get off of our backs - and out of our pockets.
Sheesh.
No wonder we get the likes of Mayor Daley, Stroger, GW Bush, Cheney and other such luminaries as leaders - we get what we deserve. Dumb is as dumb does and - boy, are we ever dumb!!!
American'ts, yep....
Can't tell when they're being screwed sideways.
