Houston PING
Maybe this will become a safe harbor city for smokers in public. < /sarcasm >
I guess no one cares any more about “Slime in the Ice Machine” LOL
Marvin Zindler just died. And despite his decades of covering the rat and roach report, there were always health code violations to report every week.
Ahhh, I have such memories of a certain outdoor patio in a downtown Houston bar. Having a few beers, smoking and joking.... watching rats as big as possums scurry up the alley.
What I like is the BS they used to sell this agenda. “It’ll make Houston a ‘world class city’.”
Then they gave an exemption to our convention center and other out of towner conference locations because they didn’t want to lose convention business.
Seems to be a world class city you DO need to permit smoking.
A good way to shut down bars.
It is so stupid too because most people who go to bars are smokers and people who don’t go to bars don’t start going when there are smoke-free bars or when cities run by Stalinists impose smoking bans.
So next will be a loss of taxes in the city of Houston, followed by stupid things to increase taxes without calling them tax increases.
Liberals are so freaking stupid, if we could just isolate all of them to one section of the country, they’d starve to death inside of six months. You could just do a Stalinist relocation thing, which they would go for, being Stalinists and then, boingo! Hoist on their own petards! And loving every second of it.
The proponents got the support of bar owners in the original smoking ban by assuring them that bars would be exempted.
Incrementalism is the way they accomplish their agenda.
Some of them are as big as the rats!
Sanatarians??????
Why the devil may this law; if you are going to say one thing and mean another.
Another example of idiots at work. I can’t believe these people actually get paid and what the hell is a sanatarian. I wonder what bright light bulb thought that one up.
Nope, they had fur, not armor. This was so long ago that we got sprayed by a DDT truck which was cooling off the mosquitoes.
LOL!
I love the smell of fresh air in the morning. ;)
I hate smoke nazis.......the same asshats that want your guns, your SUVs, your pitbulls.
They suck royally.
Little crybabies. Meterosexual fops and their mommy masters.
There’s a lot of conservative smoking Nazis....
A nationful of whining idiots!
If you were to put a sign saying "There is slime in this Ice Machine", most rational people would simply say, "thank you," and not use it.
That is never enough for the neurotics among us.
Simple Question: Why aren't "smoking only" bars and restaurants allowed?
FMCDH(BITS)
Well...i don’t know about them all being fat...i just know people on the far right that absolutely detest smokers and would ban them from existence....this actually hits on something that has split the conservative movement...smaller govt types and authoritarians...the far right and the far left have some things in common.
