so far only Lazs and Jackal get it.


let's let the govenrment regulate your diet, where you work, where you live, what you watch, when you sleep, when you wake up, and every other thing that happens in your life.

of course they and the appointed surgeon general know exactly how to keep you alive and out of the hospital forever. pretty soon they will regulate everything, we just might as well roll over and take it up the pooper right now.

No... i get your point, i just dont agree. Tougher laws on smoking will save lives and by the thousands. A life, and in this case thousands of them (many of them innocent like kids and other passive smokers) is worth more than taking a stand on something so retarded as smoking.

Wait a minute....

1. Definitive evidence shows second hand smoke is killing people and making them sick.

2. Mustaine is pissed that he can't smoke and make people sick.


Kinda like lazs arguing that he should be able to point and shoot his gun wherever he pleases... even lazs would frown on that.

oh of course that's my gripe.

all i hope to do in this world is harm others with my vices. i forgot you know me so well.


maybe, just maybe what my concern is law makers trying to dictate what john q smith does with his own personal life and space. alcohol kills hundreds of thousands too. drunk drivers kill thousands of innocent bystanders every year. it must be teh evil booze to blame, it must be banned.

or

if john q smith wants to open a smoking club where patrons can have a smoke, beer, and watch the game or something they can. our lovely liberals though think i need to be protected from such a place. it doesn't matter that i may choose to patronize such a place, my choice is irrelevant. since it may be bad for me, i can not be allowed to do it.
