The "crack" was inferred as it was the subject of the comments.

What idiot managed to make an inference to crack from a smoking thread?

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. :)

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.

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.

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??????
