I'm all for the unfairness to end!

Just because wealthy tabaco profiteers have politicians in their back pockets doesn't mean Canabis should be banned!

You first heard it here on the "Official Renegade Forums" that "Second Lung Smoke" sucks hardcore if its tobaco.

Legalize freedumb, ban tabaco and legalize hemp!

my dad used 2 smoke and now i think i got asthma from 2nd hand smoke.... Angry


Yeah, me too. In my county(Thurston County, WA, USA), they recently banned smoking in ALL establishments. No smoking in bars(as we call it in the US), stores, restaurants, community centres(I like spelling it that way... >_>), anything. You have to go 25 feet away from it, which as a non-smoker(I'm 15 for christs sake!), like. The poll for this was a LANDSLIDE, there was no chance that it would have a year 2000 type election(which sucked... got us in 2 wars...). So no one really cared that it was passed, there's hardly that many smokers in my area any way Very Happy.

Not quite. But works in a similar way to a heroin addiction (using 'similar' very loosely).


this is more common than the self-diagnosis of asperger's in the goon population how is it obsCURE FUCKKK

GET. OFF. OF. YOUR. HIGH. HORSES.

Is it really that fucking hard to understand the concept of liberty? Apparently it is.

Yes, liberty allows us the ability to vote for, or against bans things like...well, smoking. Democracy is grand.

That's hypocrisy...using liberty/democracy to vote against what someone else can do or not do. Atleast I can smoke in my home...I hope they don't come against that anytime soon.

So you're wanting to pervert the purpose of liberty for your own, selfish desires? Okay, so let me buy a gun for personal protection and then use it to kill someone. Bad analogy? Not true!

Voting to take away someone's right to smoking is impeding on their rights. Shooting someone with your gun is impeding on their rights.

Also, America is NOT a democracy for a reason. Democracies imply mob rule. Republics prevent this. This is why America is a REPUBLIC. It baffles my mind how many people try and refer to the USA's form of government as a democracy. Even our own President... the amount of ignorance in the world is amazing.

That's the point of democracy/republic-whatever. It's called dissenting opinion. No matter how messed up you "think" something is, it should be represented in voting. If people don't support it, fine. If they do, either they'll see how bad it is and not support it again for a while or they'll see how good it is and keep it around.

Republic: a state in which the supreme power rests in the body of citizens entitled to vote and is exercised by representatives chosen directly or indirectly by them.

Are you sure you know what a republic is? I was just making a statement based on the definition.

Not everybody in power is elected directly by the citizens, so we could not possibly have a democracy.

Yes...if it is used conservatively. My grandfather started smoking when he was 10. He is now 86 and still smokes...he never had any lung or any bullshit health problems like that. Go figure! Big Grin

The Human Rights Act fails. It needs rewriting.

Well of course it is, who wouldn't want emphysema? Not to mention you're a hero if you survive the cancer!

I totally agree with that statement, and I'm not even being sarcastic!
