In regards to the Anti-Smoking Gestapo:
Saw this on Gullible Info and immediately thought of you guys in DP:

Phoenix, Arizona has the highest number of smokers per capita of any U.S. city.

After you're finished ruining Portland, looks like you guys need to take on Phoenix next!

	Or perhaps the smokers could move there! Hell, there could be a 1:1 swap (Reply to this)

i dont give a fuck about this. the only thing i care about is not hacking a lung up every time i go to a bar(from california no smoking for yearrs). because you know what i figure? if i have a drink and a non drinker goes to the bar im not forcing them to have my beer. so why should a smoker force me to have his or her cigarette? a 20 foot walk to the sidewalk for a 5 minute cigarette might be an inconvenience, but smelling like a fucking pack of camels and possibly getting cancer seems alot more inconvenient to me. plus, i grew up in a home where everyone smoked and all the windows were closed. every time id take a shower black streaks of nicotine and smoke residue would drip down and well up on the cieling. did anyone in here who smokes have parents like that?

	Yeah, I did. After years of nagging, my mom finally started smoking outside when I was about 16. She died of lung cancer in 2004. :/ (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	Go to a non-smoking bar, or better yet, back to California. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	jesus. i think its funny how a corporation can engineer a product that is so unhealthy and addicting, and they can make it convince people to die and fight for it. its a perfect idea. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	Ooh yay! Didn't think you got enough comments in your inbox yesterday? sigh I do appreciate though how you managed to inflict Godwin's Law in the title, it makes it a flame war before it even started!! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	You'll have a hard time beating out ohnotheydidnt for that award. I believe they actually got shut down for a day in regards to the anna nicole smith post, over 1000 comments is what I remember hearing. All I mean about Godwin's Law is that in an internet arguement, someone always inflicts something regarding Nazi's. It amused me =) (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	This is actually what I thought when I read his first statement--Alaska is the last bastion of this idea we have of the Wild West and even now the Repubs are buying up all the property to save face when the rest of the planet becomes intolerably hot. Yesss. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Wow, you're a real asshole you know--calling people you disagree with 'gestapo' and endangering people's health. Hope you're real proud of yourself. Just wish you wouldn't irritate all of us with your ranting. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	He started two threads on this, I don't think he's taking it lightly. So what you're saying is, he has a right to rant, but I don't have a right to comment on his rant? Why the double standard? (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)
