What idiot managed to make an inference to crack from a smoking thread?
Also no grasp of property rights and individual freedoms either. sigh
Nice seeing you, too! :)
Crack, tobacco, heroin....is there a difference? /sarcasm
Actually, we had one the other night that flat out compared smokers to crack addicts, so it's not a big surprise to me. It's a lame argument, but it appears to be making the rounds amongst the more desperate. :)
Fleeting founts of fashionable fallacy?
They often have coffee and snacks at my Smoke Shop!
"Fleeting founts of fashionable fallacy?"
LOL...works for me.
Quit bothering me.
Ooooh, alliteration! Me likey. LOL!
Works for me too, LOL!
Well, while I've been posting I made Southern Fried Chicken. Hub wants to sit and watch FoxNews while we eat.
I'll catch up later. ;-D
Considering the nature of the bird (I know, I see them in my back feild all the time) I would stick to the idea of the adult beverage of that name if I chose it as a screen name.
I'm like a duck with water.....it just rolls off my back.
Thank you FRiend for sticking up for me, it's appreciated.
Hey, that's MY line, lol! Is the ignorance of the two really so prevalent?

Don't mind me. Just trying to cough some life into this thread.
LOL. This is just an example of what many have said before...we gotta have differing viewpoints (even lamebrain ones) or this place will get boring! :)
I will say one thing though...I am pleased to see a non-smoker out there putting it on the line. She gets what the important part is, and can apparently see the bigger picture that some non-smokers do not...the slippery slope.
Yep.
**Oh, and about that nosepicking thing? You're REAL lucky you weren't on an amphib. I could tell you tales that would curdle yer skin**
Ewww...I can only imagine. :) The BM's I knew always told the good stories...them and chiefs and seniors, of course. :)
WHAT I was laughing about in my original post was in regard to the idiot complaining about getting kicked off FR.
I didn't notice the new one had pinged JR to the post.....not that it scares me. I informed him of the issue at the time it occurred, and he is well aware of my references to the incident since.
I have a great deal of respect for Mr. Robinson and do my very best to abide by the posting guidelines here, as I am a guest in his private property and he has set the rules. Much like what we are discussing here, that business owners are the ones having their rights trampled with these smoking bans, not the smokers or non-smokers....the owners of the establishments.
One thing the gnatzies seem to forget in their insistance that governing bodies have the right to impose the bans, is if that is true, they also have the right to demand any and all businesses provide for smokers.
Can you imagine the outrage from the antis??????
