Uh... OK. I guess I misread that.
I wouldn’t know what a tavern or inn was like a few thousand years ago.
Interesting argument.. I thought I would look that up:
Perfume ban
First attempt to ban perfume was in 1904 http://www.scentedpages.com/press_archive/press2.html
Pimping your blog is nothing but narcissism.
Nanny State Ping
In the neighborhood bars I have frequented in my lifetime the folks there could care less about the smokers......
Its only the snobs like you and your upscale haunts which are going to be the demise of the corner bars that surround the blue collar towns like Detroit........
You don't give a rip tho because those are the neighborhoods you wouldn't even drive thru without locking your doors...........
Not true, smoking Tobacco in its original state is native only to the Americas, and began growing in 6000 BC......... google it, I did.
Really? People had access to tobacco before they invented "fire water?"
They had tobacco about 6,000 YEARS before Christ, to be exact.
Were you 'Smokin' In The Boys Room' and missed that day in History class? ;) http://www.tobacco.org/History/Tobacco_History.html
thanks, bfl
Well played. :)
If you can point to a reference to a public drinking establishment prior to 6000 BC which is the estimated date that tobacco started its growth in the Americas then I will concede your point..........
its a bastardizaion of law just as the 2005 "Emminent Domain" decision by the U.S. Supreme court that allowed a city in Connecticut to force the riverfront homeowners of New London to sell to a land developer so's he could develop the property thus generating more revenues for that city..........Only in America. You love that too don't you?
The U.S. Supremes just granted the interned terrorists at Gitmo legal status under our laws..........
Thats ok too because after all, its now law.......
If you think that billions of dollars are being spent to ban smoking because "it is offensive to others", you are a pure unadulterated retard. A self centered one no less. As if people spend billions of dollars and hours of their time to make you comfortable. Retard is probably a compliment. Read the anti-tobacco playbook....
I like your style. Please stick around.
There are people here who wouldn’t know conservatism if it bit them in the nuts.
He's been around for a couple months now posting articles but has never once commented on what he has posted nor entered discussions.........
yea, I noticed that too. Nothing but posting articles and no comments from him.........
“Step outside”
It’s my bar, you don’t like smoke, stay away. If enough people feel that way, I’ll go out of business.You have no right to dictate how to run someone else’s business
“They have also banned spitting on the sidewalk and letting your dog take a dump in my yard”
Apples and oranges.The sidewalk is public property and your yard is YOUR yard. My bar is none of your frigging business
Thanks for picking up on that.
I didn’t know.
Thanks! I now support the right to smoke amendment!
