Haha. Smokers OWNED by Mankato

[Undisguised Sockpuppet]

 As far as I'm concerned its up to the property owner/highest ranking government employee in a govenrment building call whether to allow smoking in that building. No local, state or federal rules on it whatsoever.

BRTD, Dazzleman, LiberalPA, ILV and I are on the same side of a debate opposite Opebo, Bono, Adam,  David S and Kemp... This is crazy...

You forgot me lumped in with the other people who don't hate freedom(as in against BRTD, Dazzleman and LbieralPA)

[Undisguised Sockpuppet]

How is "hating freedom" to support the right of business owners to decide whether or not to allow smoking? I would say since its the opposite of hating freedom.

[Undisguised Sockpuppet]

As far as I'm concerned its not the government's business who smokes where. Too many people in the left and right believe that too many elements of people's private lives are things that need government regulation.

[Undisguised Sockpuppet]

Yes it is. The establishment is owned by a private individual so it is up to the owner what goes on in there in terms of smoking.

[Undisguised Sockpuppet]

If you can't take smoking eat elsewhere.

[Undisguised Sockpuppet]

They freely chose to work there so its their problem.

[Undisguised Sockpuppet]

Seems we have

For ban: BRTD, dazzleman, Speedy, TheWildCard, Everett, Ilikeverin, HamRadioRocks, Gabu, jfern

Against: adam, MaC, Bono, Kemperor, Alcon, Yak's Hairbrush, David S, Flyer's, Straha, Opebo, RBH, A18

Interesting splits.

That's how you know it's a good topic

Indeed. Although I notice that the people opposing the ban tend to be more populistic/interventionist on economic issues than the people opposing it with exceptions(everett is for it and I'm against it)

The health nuts can only go so far with their nonsense. Eventually there wil lbe a major backalsh.

[Undisguised Sockpuppet]

Well, I just have to point to my signature to let you know how I feel about this. What? No, not the Cinnabon damnit -

The politically correct crowd will probably start working on those Cinnabons next. The will claim that Cinnabons are bad for your health and increase the rate of obesity and diabetes and therefore put additional strain on the healthcare system. That will be viewed as a justifiable reason for government to regulate, tax or ban them. They'll call it the Cinnaban.

Unless eating a Cinnabon somehow causes others in the general vicinity of the eater to also have their health adversely affected, that is completely incomparable to the topic of smoking.

Wrong. Both "issues" are the same because the health nazis are obsessed with btrying to msake everyone "live irghht".

[Undisguised Sockpuppet]

I wouldn't mind using politicans who favor imposing health nut BS as a source for organ "donations" or medical experiments.

Ban JCar and his family from living on US soil. Stuff like the banning of airguns, the whining aobut civilian casualties in Iraq and this anti-smoking crap proves that we need HUAC and the blacklists back. Where's Joe McCarthy when you need him?
