** ** CITY COUNCIL HEARING DATE IS SET - (CONFIRMED) |
IF EVER YOU WANTED TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE AND LET OUR LEADERS KNOW YOU FIND THEIR BEHAVIOR UNACCEPTABLE, NOW IS THE TIME TO DO SO! |
YOU MUST ATTEND THE CITY COUNCIL HEARING
*CONFIRMED DATE: THURSDAY, OCT. 10th, 1PM PLACE: CITY HALL, COUNCIL CHAMBERS
* Date and time is always subject to change by the council. Please call the Speaker's Office at 212-788-7210 a few days before to confirm. |
LET'S FILL THE CHAMBERS WITH ALL THOSE OPPOSED. LET US SPILL OUT INTO THE HALLWAY AND ONTO THE FRONT STEPS OF CITY HALL. LET'S MAKE SOME NOISE!
NO ONE HAS TO BUT ANYONE WISHING TO SPEAK TO THE COUNCIL TO TELL THEM EXACTLY HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT THIS SMOKING BAN CAN SIGN UP TO DO SO WHEN YOU ARRIVE.
ONLY A LARGE SHOW OF OPPOSITION WILL HAVE ANY IMPACT. TIME TO OUTNUMBER THE ANTI-SMOKER CRUSADERS AND RUN THEM OUT OF OUR TOWN! |
It was people very much like you, who want to wield the brute force of the state against their neighbors for engaging in 'risky behavior' that 'affects us all', 'costs us all money', 'raises our insurance costs' and 'undermines the public health'. Sound familiar?
And even if the Dems instituted it, R's sure aren't repealing it.
That is your opinion. From where I sit, the world does not rotate on "opinions." You must have a very high "opinion" of yourself.
Disgusting habit? I bet you have some habits that "we" would find disgusting.
If you are dumb enough to continue it that is your right. While not a smoking nazi I fail to see why I have to smell like an ashtray so you can kill your self.
You smell like an ashtray? Why? Why do you hang around with smokers if you hate them so much? No one is forcing you to sit next to or be around someone who smokes.
Smokers bars and restaurants would be the way to do this. We disagree with you but do not hate you. Pity would be a better word for how we view you.
Do not pity us. We choose to smoke a LEGAL product. Why do you think it is legal, by the way? Hundreds of years. You think tobacco just popped up over night?
The same way I would an alcoholic.
Smoking tobacco does not make a person all funny in the head. There is no comparison.
Slowly killing yourself. Have fun.
Slowly killing myself. Well, sorry, your going to die too. Didn't you know that? Or do you think death is just reserved for people who smoke? Your in for a shock, bud.
You will look stunning with a designer oxygen bottle in tow. And those tubes in the nostrils make such a statement. "Look at me! I was a dumb ass smoker and now I cannot walk twenty feet without being exhausted. Cool huh"?
Honey, you live as long as I have already, you will be lucky!
I still got it, Gabz. You bet!
I quit smoking about 5 years ago. Doesn't bother me to be around smoke/smokers. So, what's the big deal? What's disgusting to you, doesn't make it disgusting for the whole world !!!!!
Thank you!
You really can't see the train coming, can you? Get off the tracks dummy.
Well if you belive that is what this country is coming too, than leave it, we dont need low IQ neaderthals here anyway.

Post #27 is, IMO, a personal attack both on BrairBey and on smokers in general.
They want a lively debate, Joe, we have that. But this personal YOU SMOKERS STINK business has got to stop.
hmmmm isn't that neat!
I think your right! It will be interesting to see how many attend this meeting.
When the **** will some oppressed group actually stand up for their rights?
Fret not. 150 years from now there will be a smokers' Jesse Jackson. Smokers' Studies Departments in all the universities. There will be debates about smokers' reparations for the descendants of those so brutally taken away from Flavor Country during the 2000's.
These are Action Alerts for anyone in the vicinty so they can go to this City Council Meeting. Speak up now or forever hold your piece.
I don't think that you'll find any smokers on this forum claiming that it is a "right" to smoke.
It IS, however, a liberty.
It should be the "right" of the property owner to allow a LEGAL activity on their business premises, if they so wish.
