State goes after more protected rights...

Maybe if that girl in the middle in that picture took up smoking she would eat less and lose some weight. =)

Yeah I bet she would, and what the fuck do 15 year olds know about anything?

In before SFC


Slippery slope people. Wake up!

[Max Power]

Yeah, but if someone comes a little too close to me with a fast car, I'll die right away instead of getting cancer from something someone else did.

What the hell are you talking about here?

[MisterCMK]

One more reason to move out of state...

[specialk922]

The lead fumes at Porky's and the race spots are slowly killing you also.

I'm quite a bit more worried about the food at Porky's than the fumes.

[Nifty]

Well we're all fucked. God damn hippie state.

Here's a NEW thread, from a CURRENT topic - the erosion of personal rights.

http://www.startribune.com/462/story/1542459.html

The OUTCOME that you desired was achieved at the expense of the system. Now the system can not hope to control the taking of additional rights. The slippery slope has begun its slide.

Make sure you protect your rights to choose what to do with your car, what to feed your children, how to decorate the interior of your home...

Laugh now, you'll cry later...

This != the other smoking ban, and this IS an overstepping of boundaries.

There is ZERO credible evidence of any relation to cancer when you are breathing second-hand smoke. none. Every study cited to "support" the theory has been discredited, withdrawn and debunked as based on junk "science". Both you and the person smoking have a right to be in a place that allows smoking. If YOU don't wish to have the smoke around you, choose a different place that does not allow smoking. There is no such thing as a "right" to breathe smoke-free air.

Ok, then I just hate the smell. Find proof otherwise and you win the argument.

And remember that people of average stature are exposed to more smells and chemicals than you are up there in the clouds.

[specialk922]

Also, by your logic that there's no "right" to breathe smoke-free air, no one has the right to drink sewage-free water or eat worm-free apples.

Do I have the right to buy lactose-free milk? Because normal milk makes me fart.

You are fucking retarded.

Well, hate the smell all you want. I hate the smell of sauerkraut, that doesn't mean an amendment to the constitution is necessary. We have become a nation of pussies.

Next thing you know, farmers will have to deodorize fertilizer so city folk aren't offended by the smell when driving their Sebring convertibles out in the country.

Overstepping of boundaries happened a long time ago.

[specialk922]

No one likes the smell of saurkraut.
