Another one caught in the act! Gotcha!
I must have been out to lunch when freedom became quantifiable.

I guess we'll have to agree to dis-agree then,... I see ecactly where your comming from,... but I dont think people should have that much freedom, the freedom to subject virtually anyone to the enviornment a cigerette/cigar creates.

The definition I put forth earlier, and several others refined, came to a pretty viable working definition.
1) All government or government-funded facilities should be smoke free. All truly public places (parks, etc.) should be smoke free.
2) Unique locations such as stadiums, arenas, etc. with scheduled and/or "no-equivalent" events should be smoke free.
3) Businesses should be free to determine for themselves whether to ban smoking at all, whether to allow smoking in an isolated sub-area, or whether to allow unrestricted smoking within their confines. This goes for any business where equivalent products or services can be found elsewhere at the discretion of the customer. Note that some private businesses may be covered under the "unique event or location" clause above.

That is true. But also, most of the so-called private businesses that I think would fall into that category, probably also receive government funding in some form or another.

Nice. This is a classic liberal socialist statement that is somehow supposed to justify something. All it demonstrates is herd mentality. Sheep all of them.
Caught in the act. I love it when it's so straight forward. They make it so easy sometimes.
Fill in the blank with whatever totalitarian, freedom robbing, big government coersion you like and the statement remains correct. Amazing.

Unless you're planning to make a real point with this, I'd slip away quietly if I were you. A big mouth with nothing behind it will get you verbally flattened by the intellectual hardasses around here.Originally posted by askia47

*points to the tilte of the forum this thread is placed in*
If you honestly think that, then you're in the wrong forum. Any blithering idiot can spout an opinion-- There's no point in giving one if you don't back it up or, at least be rational.Opinion, I gave mine.... I don't have to defend it, i don't have to be constructive.
Did you read what I posted? I'd appreciate an answer. If that was your answer, then you should seriously reconsider your outlook on people and on life. If you honestly just said that my dad should've been shot, you've obviously got some serious issues.Smokers should be shot, Twice.

So then who agree's that smoking should be banned in public places?
I suppose I do,... even being an ex-smoker,... I felt guilty about exposing people to my filthy habit, and now that I've quit,.. I dont want to be exposed.
