Thanks for that,
I was kinda 'thinking aloud' really
when I saw the topic ..
I imagine they'll never be able to make
smoking illegal!.
ironic really when cigaratte smoking is now
'known' to be so injurious to health.

YW

Oh OK. I agree, it will never happen but I was trying to get the point across of what would happen if such a thing did occur.

My ex husband died due to his continuing to smoke. So sad when people start that habit at such an early age and it's such a part of their life that they don't even know how to begin to let it go......

Just to step in here and
say smoking is strictly banned over here in
all public places, hospitals,
waiting rooms, stores, discos, pubs, cinemas, restaurants and
all public buildings.
There was a LOT of noise about it at the start,
now we're all used to it,
and the benefit of clean is a good swap over,
nobody minds anymore.

There was a lot of debate. Tiger Lilly stated there would be a crime wave if tobacco and/or fast food were banned. Noise doesn’t amount to crime wave.

Yes, some people still mind the ban. Smokers certainly don’t like the ban.

I remember a time when people smoked cigarettes inside retail stores. It wasn’t uncommon to see a smoker snuff their cigarette out on the floor of the grocery store. I’m glad those days are gone but it still should be the owner of the establishment making the rules about smoking inside, not government.

It's not the government's decision - again, understand local and city laws and ordinaces. It's the city or county that lays down these ordinances - you next door neighbor or friend - that votes and enacts these ordinances, no the federal government.

Local government is still government. Did I use the term federal government in the post you refer to? You added that to cover the fact you’re incorrect.

I sure can, but can you.
You have much more influence on your local and city government than federal government. If you don't like something that's going on in your neighborhood - may I suggest stop bitching about it on a public forum and run for mayor, alderman, city council, etc.

Clearly you can’t. You came out and stated it wasn’t government and that it was a local or city ordinance. No matter how you want to view this local government is still government.

Now pointing out fact is biching? If so, I'll continue bitching.

According to the law you do. Pre-meditation to murder has fried a lot of "insane" individuals.

Awww...nice red herring.

My point was - if you even can grasp anything outside of the coconut between those slumped shoulders of your's - is that the federal government was not to blame, it's city ordinances.

And your bitching doesn't help your arguement in the least - but it does indicate a declining intelligence rate.

How many 20-year old young adults with Asperger's have you lived with? lol, j/k, you were too, right?

Actually I do have some experience with Asperger's syndrome. I have two relatives with the affliction. If you did you wouldn't think it's funny either. Doing so only serves to show a lack of knowledge on the subject.

Please show where I got spanked. Starting right out of the gate with deflection huh? That doesn't bode well for you does it?

Yeah, that shows it alright. That's what I thought. I keep thinking you will wake up at some point, and realize you are going to be asked to back your absurd statements. But you never do. You keep spewing unfounded crap, only to deflect or distract with smoke and mirrors, when confronted about it.

[milwaukee69]

Lol...speaking of smoke and mirrors and red herrings, where is that information on that indian tribe?

The tribe is Cherokee. Since my grandfather was born in 1900, there is no birth certificate to trace any further back. I do know that he was born in Alabama, therefore I can narrow it down to one of 38 Cherokee tribes.

The fact I can't narrow it down further does not mean I'm not part Cherokee.
So, if it makes you feel better, keep bringing up my heritage to deflect every time you get your ass handed to you in debate, regardless of subject matter. Lmao, you really are pathetic!

Took you long enough to Google that - talk about pathetic.
