just wondering....How many of you grew up breathing in cigarette smoke and are still alive????!!!
Boy, you sure are an ignorant nasty one, aren't you? For a FReeper! CSM can understand a lot more then you might think! Jerk.
Quite a few of us. And we are ALL going on the FReeper Cruise! Yahoo!!!!!!!!!!!
I am opposed to my kids bull riding a nuclear missle, like Slim Pickens in doctor strangelove. Other than that, I'll decide how to raise my kids, not you, or the miserable government. Hell, the government can't even fix it's own problems, let alone mine.
It has been demonstrated that most smokers see no problem in subjecting their kids to smoke. Some actually think its a healthy thing. Smoker's kids need to be protected from actions coming from this ignorance.
Nearly everyone I know, as a matter of fact........both smokers and non-smokers.
"Smoking around children increases their risk of harm."
Transporting children in automobiles is a greater increase in the risk of harm for children. In addition, explain how the rates of asthma and allergies in children have increased as the smoking rates decrease. Based on that correlation alone, then not smoking around children increases their risk of contracting harmful life long health problems. We better mandate that all parents smoke around their children.
Isn't lifestyle projection great!
Would you suggest we leave an innocent child with a child-rapist parent?? Can't have the "nanny government" step in...
How about if "mommy dearest" likes to discipline the child by putting her hand to a red-hot stove? Hey, she has a mother, no need for anyone else to get involved...
Or maybe if the parent feeds the kid poison? Oh, wanting to help the kid is just emotionalism. The Legislature has other things to do...
It's only the natural progression of a movement based on unfounded science and unbridled arrogance, for, make no mistake about it, the state always feeds on the arrogation of power and wherever power is gained there is a concomitant loss.
Not all of us are going on the FReeper cruise.............I do not do cruises. Been there, done that and once was enough.
Excellent idea. Nothing worse than having to be around a smoker. What an awful addition. Killing children is not to be found anywhere in the Constitution.
It was a stupid statement. The junkies are so hooked on their addiction, they don't care if they hurt their kids, so long as they get their fix.
"just wondering....How many of you grew up breathing in cigarette smoke and are still alive????!!!"
As of 11:01 AM, I am still here.
Let me correct that for you.........
All children need to be protected from actions coming from overzealous fanatics and their ignorance.
There, much better.

Ray, you are one of the most amazing souls I have ever met.
You should become a motivational speaker.
You have changed my life, for the better.
RRRRRRRIIIIIGGGGHHHHTTTTTTTT OONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!
All the child-rapist parents are cheering for more people like you in this world...
No one has ever proven that exposure to SHS or ETS causes people harm, even children. Several studies have tried and failed. You only FEEL like it causes harm, therefore you are emotionally charged about the issue.
"All the child-rapist parents are cheering for more people like you in this world..."
The mear fact that you have to equate smoking with raping children shows the ludicrousness of your stance. If you had a legitimate argument you wouldn't need to exaggerate to make that point.
Why is it that you nanny-statists so enjoy mixing apples and oranges?
Nothing you mention is in anyway in relation to the topic of discussion. Equating parents who smoke with child rapists is beneath contempt, and you should be ashamed of yourself.
