I said you SEEM to be an angry and nasty bunch. If you were to go by how they condemn and carry on on this thread because I think the military has the right to have a rule against smoking while on duty I think this is how this group on a whole SEEMS.
Had you said it that way in any of your original flame provoking posts, I would most likely agree with you........but you didn't....you talked about what people should and should not be "allowed" to do while working.
You brought the comments upon youself with the tone you took in your very first post, and went down hill from there.
Smoking is a dirty, nasty, deadly habit. If you wish to use your own free volition to continue smoking that is up to you. You should quit if you want to do the right thing, but again that is up to you. You have the freedom to smoke but you also have the moral duty to quit. If you don't like that then ignore it. You have probably been ignoring it for years anyway.
The military has a right to decide personal should not smoke while on duty.
On the whole you have "put words in my mouth" and exercised great condemnation. As far as I am concerned you have been a pretty nasty bunch to chat with. I think it is your addicting habit and "need" to justify it that has caused your bad attitude.
I hope you all quit and I also hope the best for you. Please enjoy this thread without me as I have spent enough time and effort trying to convince you that the military has the right and is right for not allowing smoking while on duty. You have a different opinion and are entitled to it. Like Richard Nixon said "You won't have Bellflower to kick around anymore, because, gentlemen, this is my last post on this thread." Good night and God Bless.
