Not suddenly and unexpectedly. And both parties know that the smoker is smoking and can address the situation appropriate.
And drinking is dangerous.
I don't think you want to hear what I have to say about alcohol.
And eating fatty foods is dangerous.
Only to the eater.
And NASCAR is dangerous. And bungee jumping is dangerous.
Only to the participants and those who choose to be observers.
Nice try, but you are attempting to compare apples and oranges.
When your sister has been raped and thrown out a window by someone who is high, let me know.
Sorry, who's "both"? And anyone who lights a cigarette is aware that he's taking a risk with his health, just as anyone who lights a joint or pops a pill has the same awareness.
I don't think you want to hear what I have to say about alcohol.
Oh, but I do. If you think alcohol should be banned, please say so. Say it loudly and frequently. Demonstrate beyond doubt that you refuse to learn from history and are perfectly willing to follow policies that are proven failures.
And eating fatty foods is dangerous.
Only to the eater.
Ah. So you're saying that consuming drugs is dangerous to other than the consumer, because drugs Take Control of you and make you do Bad Things. Do you call yourself a conservative? Because most conservatives believe in something called personal responsibility. Most conservatives believe that if you willingly take part in an activity that might cause you to do something illegal, you get the blame for your actions, not the activity or substance that led to them. Should we ban books that are critical of the government, since reading them might cause people to take violent action?
When your sister has been raped and thrown out a window by someone who is high, let me know.
Okay. I think that we should execute all people who choose handles that start with ME, because those people are dangerous. When your sister has been raped and thrown out a window by somebody whose name starts with ME, let me know. Until then, you have no right to an opinion. Neener neener neener.
Hey, logical fallacies are fun!
"And eating fatty foods is dangerous."
>> Only to the eater.
Not really. What if some tub of lard gets a heart attack while driving?
>> When your sister has been raped and thrown out a window >> by someone who is high, let me know.
Try blaming the a##hole - not the drugs.
When I got my head kicked in by a bunch of drunks, I took great solace in the fact that at least they weren't on illegal drugs.
"When your sister has been raped and thrown out a window by someone who is high, let me know."
Gee, if the war on drug money had been devoted to taking violent offenders, rapists and thieves off the street for good, don't you think your sister wouldn't have been raped and thrown out that window because the police had already incarcerated the miscreant?
What if she was raped and thrown out a window by a drunk? Does that count? I forget what percentage of "acuantaince rapes" and "domestic violence" were committed under the influence of alcohol, but the numbers were very high.
