"I enjoy my cigars too much. If the whackos don't like it, I'd suggest they go to Disney or hug a tree and eat some tofu, or whatever it is those communists enjoy doing."

LOL! I am actually not a full time smoker. I would never smoke in my home or my car, but occasionally, I have one on the patio. My husband and I go to LV at least twice a year, and there is nothing I like more than to smoke, drink, and play slots next to little old ladies and guys smoking cigars (I like the smell). If we can't go to LV and let our hair down like that, we won't bother going.

Times change.

But anti-smokers don't. And I can only call you an anti smoker because you refuse to address the idea of allowing ANY bar or restaurant to permit smoking because you don't like it.

But please remember your own words, Times change.

They will most likely come back and haunt the antis.

Good Day

Try playing something other than the nickle machines.

So how many businesses will the state of Delaware be taking over in November? I know I would close mine and move it.

None, nada, zip, zilch, notta one. The state's got no money and can't see the handwriting on the wall.

That's why I split my trips. I go to the Carribbean where the only laws are against you hurting others physically. If Vegas goes PC, I have plenty of other casinos to visit in Biloxi and the Carribbean where I don't have to worry about the PC police telling me how to behave.

[Nuke'm Glowing]

Sounds like a mini-Commiefornia.

[Gabz]

It's actually worse.

But then, you must consider this is a state that continually re-elects Joe Biden and voted out Bill Roth.

I can't get out of here fast enough.

[Nuke'm Glowing]

I've noticed that since they revised their corporate laws, a lot of companies are removing their names as a "Delaware" corporation and relocating to friendlier states. It's amazing what happens when the socialists take power.

[dixie sass]

Thank you SheLion. I misunderstood.

[SheLion]

Thank you SheLion. I misunderstood.

Hey! You bet! I was sticking up for you. I'm sorry if you thought I wasn't. It's been a long day in here with many controversial figures. They have worn me out. LOL!

[Great Dane]

You, perhaps, should go read a good economics book. Recession is the contraction of business. Even in a recession you can have inflation. You are thinking of deflation.

Wrong, deflation comes after a prolonged recession.

[Great Dane]

The only exceptions there are to the Delaware Ban are for organizations running charitable fund raisers.

There are no exceptions for organizations here, result is charities are loosing a lot of money, when the bingo players didn't come back, the City went so far as to install slots, hoping that would do the trick....... it didn't.

[Great Dane]

#273........... Thank you, I needed a good laugh, it's been a long day. :-}

Fianally, A place where a sensitive kind of guy or gal can spend a whole week end gambling and eating bean sprouts and tofu

For your information, there are a lot of us steak-lovers that rather NOT have the taste of a good steak fouled by the smell of tobacco smoke. Do you realize you are enjoying food less due to the damage tobacco does to your taste and smell?

[Just another Joe]

BWAHAHAHAHAHA
If I enjoyed it any more it would be a crime!
I gues it's a GOOD thing I smoke.

"Why don't you find another thread to play in and leave decent people alone."

Oh, I'm finding an adequate level of indecency here -- Thanx anyway . . .

[Crowcreek]

" You gave no indication this person was smoking in a non permitted location"

I gave the man plenty of indication, sort of all at once -- He'd vouch for that!

Please -- calm yourself

. . . Get some oxygen!

[Just another Joe]

I gave the man plenty of indication, sort of all at once

Was it MARKED as nonsmoking or did you just DECIDE that it was nonsmoking?

[Crowcreek]

"Was it MARKED as nonsmoking or did you just DECIDE that it was nonsmoking?"

Fighting for the rights of smokers to make others miserable isn't very noble, but it must be satisfying.

Have at it, suckers.
