Considering where you live....I might be able to accept that.
However, it is a place that not only doesn't get their product from the local area, but only uses that which is caught buy foreign fisherman.
They are also at the forefront of convincing local Restaurant Associations to support smoking bans. They can afford a fall off in business that the small local places can't.
Just like Philip Morris, Red Lobster, Applebee's, Ruby Tuesday's and the other assorted chain restaurants have one thing, and one thing only in mind..........the bottom line and the customers be damned. They just want to see the little guys gone. They make Wal-Mart look like a piker.
Talk about hijacking a thread!!!!!
I haven't done this particular one.....but have done similar.
LOL!!!!!!!!
You're right that's my spirit........I've never been PC on my life.
Not being PC has caused me some major grief in my life..............but thankfully has reaped me far more benifits.
Good for you.
Why haven't I encountered you here before?
I don't know if they're the same........just look like them.
I was playing on that comment.......most likely because I am what known as "punch-drunk" - in other words, very over tired.
D.A.R.E., just like MADD started out with all good intentions................but then got taken over by bureaucrats.
One of the reasons we put our house in Delaware up for sale was I was tired of the crack dealers in my driveway.
LOL...Well, that shows there's at least two of us who can see through the smoke!
You're right on the money!
Socialists crave control like an addict craves heroin.
OK, that makes sense now. I think I'd better head for bed...I don't feel particularly tired, but my eyes keep playing tricks on me, and I am making errors all over the place. I'm probably just overtired, too.
Oh, puleeeeeeeezzzzze.....
The NIH information on ETS is based upon the totally biased EPA 1992 report. That report cherry-picked which studies it wanted to used and even went so far as to change the standard of a 95% to a 90% in order to get the numbers to be where they wanted them.
The Oak Ridge study was actually good science in that it was real life information they collected, unlike the EPA and their meta-analyses of only what they wanted to find.
It's a crying shame that someone who claims to want information admits he will not even look at it because it is presented as from smoking advocates.
You may not like the stance that SheLion or I have, but you will find we have the information to back up those stances. The MSM is on the side of the politically correct and does not present all of the available information on this subject, and in many cases will work to deny it even exists,
Good night, my FRiend.....I'm going to do the exact same thing.
Nighty-night. Dream of the Sea.
Six hours and 30 minutes to go.
Sleep well.
Good night, FRiends. Sleep well, Gabz. Enjoy your shift, (ha ha), RF. :)
Thank you, I will knowing that real informations, as opposed to propaganda was posted this evening.
Much thanks to you. FReep soon, I'm sure.
Heh-heh!....*THUD*
Oh you need to take off your blinders and not be so died in the wool over this issue.
The links I provided are valid links by reputable corporations that do the real time studies in second hand smoke.
And yes, I do have more links. But there are two sides to every story, and if you are so narrow minded as to not want to read all of the facts, then I feel sorry for you.
I know what I believe and you believe what you want. You have already made up your mind because you hate smoking.
That's fine. Smoking isn't for everyone, but stop bashing people who do enjoy smoking. It isn't up to you to take away more rights. You might try to work at that, but you are going to have a big fight on your hands. People aren't going to buckle under as easy as you would think.
Nobody's forcing you to breathe.
I have never had such kind thoughts about smokers.
