Oh boy...nice attempt at a personal insult.
And now to refute your pathetic accusations:
1- Yes, I am a drug addict. I like to smoke. And the government allows me to. Why do you feel free to condemn me?
Please provide evidence where I condemn you [or smokers].
2- The entire world IS against me (you are a perfect case in point).. Even if I pay for my own health care, and yours, in the highly repressive taxes you have laid on me and my habit, you still feel free to condemn.
See refute to #1.
I don't know you, but I would bet that I could find 3 things I don't like about you. Would i criticize you? Not on your life. I would accept you the way you are. Would I try to make you live my life style. Again, not on your life.
That's fine. I could care less if you find 3 or 3,000 things you don't like about me. I'm not trying to tell smokers/drug addicts what kind of lifestyle to have, I'm merely citing the fact that smokers/drug addicts have to accept that there will be certain (increasingly many) establishments that DO NOT ALLOW any smoking. Therefore, back to your respect statement, instead of bitching and moaning about "oh, I can't smoke here", instead have a little respect for the property/business owner and the rules that they have set in place and smoke elsewhere. Is it really that hard?
If it were the business or property owner who had set these rules in place, it wouldn't be the government who is fining the owners for non-compliance.
Trouble is most of them didn't set their own rules. Nanny state government did it for them.
