the sword: george washington

I also grew up in VA and have been to all three of these men's homes and graves. | |

I'm making phone calls. Itech - did you want light air? And, I'm guessing you want domestic, not foreign, right? | |

The portable air tanks already avialable for COPD folks could be easily modified with a 'jackass' logo for those who want thier own air. O2 content adjustible of course so it can be better than everyone elses. | |

wow, does this person live in some sort of fantasy liberal world? first of all, smoking hasn't been banned worldwide genius. also, the air isn't "yours". The air is mine, just as much as it is yours, but you knew that.
out of curiosity, how much was this air you purchased? I wonder where I can get some. how has the price of air done historically.. I got bad news for ya, the only way you own air is if you own a scuba tank. Scuba diver here for the last 31years,so I guess I do own some air. I’m not sure where you live, but where I’m from the air is free for the taking, come on up and get some if you want.
I didn't think that liberals actually believed in owning stuff I can see how one like yourself would think this way, because when I didn’t know much, I thought the same way.
It's great that a non-smoker can take such pride that someone else lost what can be perceived a liberty, but let's say he has a beloved family pet and tomorrow the police and animal control show up at his door to tell him that there is now an ordinance forbidding ownership of the pet at his home and they have to take it away. Will the sentiment of discriminatory liberty be consistent then? Apples and oranges and the typical slippery slope stuff that means nothing.
Heheh you’re funny, Redcoats, Spartacus, Secretary of the Atmosphere, Sir Thomas Payne, all this in a little old smoking thread, I’m impressed. | |

The air is mine, just as much as it is yours, but you knew that.
um, an easy way to say this would be that the air is "ours." you simply claimed the air was yours.
Scuba diver here for the last 31years,so I guess I do own some air. I’m not sure where you live, but where I’m from the air is free for the taking, come on up and get some if you want.
yes, the air is free here too, but when you call it "yours" one would assume that you are the only one entitled to it.
I can see how one like yourself would think this way, because when I didn’t know much, I thought the same way.
"when you didn't know much?" care to defend this? last time I checked, the liberal agenda was to raise taxes on anyone trying to get ahead. I said it last night, and I will say it again. the rich are rich, the rich are going to stay rich, under the current tax code, good luck getting rich. it just punishes anyone trying to get ahead in life and under liberal leadership, it's only going to get worse, and the power of government is only going to get worse. liberals believe that everything is a human right or an entitlement. we have people in prisons who have cable. I don't have cable. don't need it, don't have it. people on welfare have cellphones. I will rephrase what I said, it's not that liberals don't want people to have stuff, they just don't want someone having more than someone else. unless of course, you are the one who writes the laws. it's the golden rule brother, I thought you knew. the one with all the gold, makes all the rules. | |

Absolutely not! I'll have courtesans on staff for that. When they're not upstairs, they'll be tapping kegs and pumping air. Did I forget to mention that it only makes sense that this underground establishment is also a brothel. I have a lot of markets to cover, you know? A lot of money to be made. | |

Posted: 4/16/2008 12:59:27 PM | If there was really a great demand for non-smoking bars and restaurants, then all of them would have gone non-smoking years ago. Non-smokers would have been standing in line to get into them all this time.
But no, some non-smokers can't stand the idea that someone on the other side of town, in a bar they would never visit, might be smoking a cigarette.
Some non-smokers have no problem with destroying their brain cells with alcohol. Don't dare try to keep them from driving when everyone can see they're too drunk.
But damned, if someone on the other side of the room lights a cigarette.
Damned, if someone in an apartment, at the other end of the hall, smokes a cigarette.
If five people are standing in a hurricane, the one guy smoking is endangering the other four with his second hand smoke. | |

Apples and oranges? When you didn't know as much? I don't think we've come as far as we'd like to think. Tunnel vision is not a sign of enlightenment but rather the opposite.
Oh well, at least we were granted the use of air. | |

Posted: 4/16/2008 8:14:57 PM | | why not have it done one by one and let the people speak. I don't have a problem with banning smoking in places. I would rather have it be the voice of the people though, not the voice of the government. | |

How friggin hard is it for non smokers to go to places where smoking is not allowed.

Posted: 4/17/2008 12:37:40 AM | Ah, let's face it folks....
Nobody gives a flying rat's butt about government regulations, personal freedoms being taken away and such, until a new law comes along that actually does affect them personally.
Then, lo and behold, they're jumping up and down crying "infringement of personal rights" and "slippery slope" etc etc.
Let the government ban everything, every last bloody personal freedom.... anything that may possibly be harmful, whether it's immediate harm or potential future harm..... just get rid of it all. The holier-than-thou's will eventually get infringed upon too.....
Then we can sit back, puff on our cigs, and watch the civil war break out. Which would ultimately put everything back to square one. And we can start all over again with our new found freedoms. Until the holier-than-thou's decide to start regulating again to slowly nit-pick out the things that they don't like.....
And so on, and so on, and so on.....
In the meantime, while the holier-than-thou's are protecting everyone from themselves, I've decided I'm going to run around wagging my finger at parents who sit in Burger King and let their fat kids inhale whoppers by the gallon.... how dare they intentionally kill their kids like that !! Someone needs to stand up for those poor chubby artery-blocked children !!
Come to think of it.... how dare any parent allow their kid to wear an i-pod stuck in their ears for hours on end. Don't they know that they're allowing slow permanent hearing loss/damage ? Who's going to protect those poor future-deaf children ??
And then of course there's those gawd awful people that walk around in public sneezing and coughing and spreading their disgusting flu germs on everyone. Ban them from all public buildings I say !!! Just who the hell do they think they are ?? These ignoramuses are infecting my air space with gawd only knows what kind of disease ?! We need the flu police to start making some arrests !
And dogs.... people who walk their dogs in public. What about all the people with allergies ? Who's going to stand up for those poor folk ? Don't these inconsiderate SOB's realize that they might be putting someone's life at risk ??!
Speaking of allergies.... all peanuts.... peanut butter, peanut oil, as well as every other peanut by-product should be deemed illegal and completely taken off of the market. Why isn't anybody protecting the peanut-challenged souls of the world ??
And apparently eggs are bad for us now too. Ban them, I say. Ban the evil things.
And bring back prohibition. Alcohol is bad bad bad !!!
Save the world from themselves, quick !!!
.......I'm so sick of this crap.
Where's my tin-foil-brain-protective hat, I need to keep it from being infected with the moronic stupidity of the sheeple in this world.
Damn, that rant felt good.
