Your cowboys are way too gay. Their horses are gay too.
Give up, Brokeback Boy.

The Marlboro man died of lung cancer.
Absolutely.
I raised that position while at a dinner, in a smoking-permitted restaurant with 9 others. One of the group was still eating when the person sitting next to him started to light up. When I stated it was impolite to light up while someone was still eating, the person looked directly at me and queried "Are you buying dinner, or am I?" My response was simply "I guess I am."
He waited to light up until the other person finished eating.
That was 1992. Both the person who started to light up and the person still eating were tobacco industry lobbyists and the purpose of the dinner was strategy about a smoking ban in restaurants in Delaware.
My entire point was a lack of manners creating the problem and my point was taken. I wasn't an industry lobbyist, but I did work with (not for) many of them because even back then the owners and smokers were being left out of the discussion.

BTW, in the end I did NOT pay for dinner :)
I think in a free society folks are more prone to be mannerly and considerate. Where there is no choice, there is resentment if you are forced to do something that you would normally do out of the goodness of your heart as a free person. Am I wrong about that?
Why do you Nanny-staters give a damn as to how a private business allows their clients to conduct their behavior. If you don't like smoke, DON'T GO FOR A DRINK THERE!
If there is one group of people I would like to whack with a baseball bat to the head, it is the yuppie faggot "health Nazis." I hate these folks more than Muslim terrorists.
Maybe you could whack some Indians pitchers with that same bat, too.
Thanks for the ping!
My guess... about 1 nano second after they find out you are growing it.
So I’ll assume he was impotent after that.

If you want me to side with you regarding smoking in restaurants and bars, I’m sorry but I can’t.
I’m 56 years old. I’ve spent most of my life going out to restaurants and bars in smoke filled rooms. Even when smoking and non-smoking sections were set up, the smoke would waft over into the non-smoking area.
Do I think there is a real danger of people inhaling second hand smoke coming down with cancer? Let’s just say I’m not convinced of that at all. What I am convinced of is that I couldn’t really enjoy the evening out having to endure someone else’s smoke and knowing I’d stink to high heavens upon returning home.
I’ve gone home from work thousands of times, taken a shower, put on a new set of clean clothes and gone out to eat or to a bar. Three or so hours later I’d return home with clothes that stunk so much I could smell them from two rooms away.
After hanging those clothes out to air for two to four days, I generally had to have them cleaned again. It was a real pain in the ass.
I don’t blame smokers for not liking the new laws. And it is getting to the point that I am angry at some of the new laws that are being considered.
Smoking outside should be okay. Smoking in your own care should be okay. Smoking in your own home should be okay.
If you want my vote to support you in those areas, you’ve got it. I try not to be unreasonable about this, but I’m sure smokers think I’m very unreasonable. I understand that.
You take care.
I hope they also enjoy the higher unemployment and raise in taxes that will come along with it.
Of course, not to mention all the rest of the infringements that follow, once they get their foot in the door.
I’m amazed how easily Democrats and Republicans give up their liberty today.
That’s what complacency brings with it.
Typical. It says “MANY men played the Marlboro man,” yet lists only two that died of lung cancer, one at age 73.
How did the rest die, if they have?
Seems to some non-smokers died of lung cancer in their 40’s. Who gets the blame there?
I am a 40 year smoker. I have no problem with not smoking in indoor public places. It’s when they limit the outside areas that p*sses me off!
You think Wyomings’ bad-take a look over here at Australia!!Its practically illegal already!!One state even bans smoking in cars-for heavens sake-when was the last time you heard of someone being arrested for driving under the influence of cigarettes!!Oh please!!
