So you prefer laws to force businesses to make decisions you agree with - got ya. That’s all I need to know about you.
Unlike you, I choose to spend my money in establishments that provide services to all who choose to spend their money in those establishments without picking and choosing their clientele. In the case of places where people like you have gotten the government to force your choices on businesses establishments, I only choose to spend my money in the establishments that fought against nanny statists like you.
I respect the rights of a business owner to choose to be non-smoking, I have little use for businesses that wish to force other businesses to go the same route. However, I have absolutely no use for individuals such as yourself who enjoy using government guns to force businesses you don’t own or wouldn’t even patronize to cater to your personal whims. people like that disgust me.
We have a political process in this Constitutional Republic - within which we make those laws. I agree with the political process that we have been handed by our founding fathers, and as has developed over the last couple of hundred years by the involvement of our citizens.
If you don’t like our Constitutional Republic, you can always go somewhere else and set up your own government. I’m staying here and working within the government we’ve been given from the beginning.
Don’t worry, I probably wouldn’t be on your lawn - even if someone paid me handsomely ... :-)
Thanks for the ping!
I adore what used to be our Constitutional Republic. Unfortunately, statists like you have taken over and use personal preference to create “laws” where they are not needed.
Some of us prefer less government in our lives, you are obviously not one of them. Enjoy your life.
My rights don’t stop because you don’t like a smell and that is all it is, a smell.
Please don’t tell me you are gullible to buy into the whole second hand smoke hysteria.
Sometimes I think people like you are the only reason I still smoke. Militant anti smokers are just too much fun to annoy.
How is that Sun working out for them.
Well it does take Oil, Nuclear, and Coal to produce those solar panels.
You’ve got fewer places to do so, now - so enjoy it while you still can. Those days are numbered.
All your property are belong to us! Those FReepers that supported smoking bans in the first place, are the same folks that have handed a very handy tool to the marxists to continue down the path of total elimination of private property and individual liberty.
Thanks again for that....
“my rights to NOT BE POISONED”
And there you have it. Given your position, we should also ban cleaning solutions, bbq grills, lawn mowers and automobiles. You are a marxists wet dream.
“Well, I dont consider it sane to continually poison oneself”
I hope you don’t drink coffee, or drink water. Both contain many “poisons.” In addition, I hope you don’t have a job in manufacturing, you would freak when reviewing the MSDS sheets....
“That smoker has exactly ZERO RIGHTS”
In 1930’s and 1940’s Germany, the same sentiment ran rampant! Those insane Judens were trampling on everyone’s rights and needed to be exterminated from society. In fact, there was also a very prominent anti-smoking campaign at the same time in that society...
Your mind is dangerous.
“That smoker has exactly ZERO RIGHTS”
I looked at your profile and you proudly state that you are a christian. I hope you realize that your posts on this thread are exactly what is empowering the marxists to attack churches for preaching against sinful behaviours, such as homosexuality. You are currently being hoisted on your own petard and are still so hateful that you gleefully offer them more empowerment!
“You can do a scientific study - if you want - on the distance required to dissipate it sufficiently. But since its my face Im talking about, Im saying a hundred yards.”
Facts and evidence are irrelevent to a marxist. The Agenda 21 folks would love you!
Shhh! Facts are irrelevent when marxists are advancing!
“And, there are plenty of other people around who also claim that poison-free zone around them,”
Now you are supporting the Tyranny of the Majority.
” because they wont be around much longer.”
Gather up those that oppose me and get them on the trains already!
You can try banning those other things if you want. However, I won’t be marching with you.
“The law in Oklahoma (link is above) doesnt cost the business anything......for those who think its a good business decision to allow smokers in their place, then they will recoup their costs “
Nice circular logic there. You are a very selfish person.
