ONLY A LARGE SHOW OF OPPOSITION WILL HAVE ANY IMPACT. TIME TO OUTNUMBER THE ANTI-SMOKER CRUSADERS AND RUN THEM OUT OF OUR TOWN! |
No, no no. That's not how freedom works. We aren't supposed to take responsibility for ourselves. Or bother to take the time to convince business and property owners to cater to the free market.
Instead, freedom comes from singing about liberty at the beginnnig of ball games, and running down to your local politico to demand he stick a gun in anyone's face who you don't like.
If you paid attention for the last 30 years, you would know this.
< Where's my Soma? >
Now that your brought that up: is it just me, or does it feel like we have a lot of anti smokers coming in here of late? I think they are registering at Free Republic so they can come in here and bash and flame us.
I am seeing a lot of hate come into our threads. I don't like it.
If these are Republican ANTI SMOKERS who hate us all so much, then I can see where the word RINO came from! And is it any wonder why our party is going to the dogs?
Me today and you tomorrow.
Smokers more than make up for their extra cost by dying (their choice-not yours) sooner; collecting less social security and pensions, and less time in nursing homes.
The state tax on cigarettes is all gravy. This is all backed up by facts.
~~sigh..........
silly me!!!!!! I must have lost my mind there for a minute.
Exactly! Now you got it! That is why we are fighting so hard to nip this in the bud. If we lose this freedom, more are sure to follow.
You better type fast TazBoy. Your time here is short.
Get a grip, what are you wanting to ban next.
Did you know the world is not your oyster, it belongs to all of us.

I vote that the tribe exterminate people who write ugly sentences, once we're done ritually flogging smokers with birch branches.
Cigarettes at least provide a pleasant buzz when drinking alcohol. The illiterate make everyone else dumber by getting the eye used to misspellings.
Aids sufferers will never have to worry.
Smoking and non-smoking sections are the correct way to go for everyone. And I am sure there are enough non-smoking businesses today where non-smokers do not have to even see a smoker.
If anyone comes in here for a lively, entertaining and educational debate, you are most welcome. However, personal attacks and your hatred toward a group of Conservatives who choose to smoke will not be tolerated.
