Smoking should be banned in all public places (261)
I live right by an old army dump site.
my water gets tested every month. I even get the results in the mail.
They say that Mounds View has the safest drinking water because the Government has to pay to treat and test our water.

Yes, but unless you are an alcoholic, having a few beers is not killing you.------ This thread is Archived ------

Banning smoking or making cigarettes illegal would throw the US economy into a deep depression. No ifs, ands or butts!
What about all the tax dollars from tobacco sales that is used to fund schools, pave roads, provide a living for hundreds of thousands of people.......etc.
People want to smoke because they can. Just like people wanting to drink alcohol.

Hi reelman
I think we could make a lot of money too if we legalized heroine, cocaine, mary jane, etc. Why not? The economy needs a boost and that would probably be just the ticket. End a lot of crime too. Cool.------ This thread is Archived ------
I think smoking should be banned in government buildings, malls, public transportation, etc.. The key word here being public.
But for the governement to dictate what a person does with their privately owned business is a bit much. Why should someone who owns a bar be forced to either allow or disallow smoking on their property? Same holds true for other privately owned establishments and certainly privately owned homes.

I'd say: Building owners choose in their building (if you don't like it either way, don't go to said building).
What it really boils down to is respect for others. Whether it's tobacco, a big truck, or any other fume, smell, noise, etc. you should at least consider other people around you before you indulge. Yeah... the big vehicle exhaust fumes (or beater exhaust fumes) might be tough to fix for some people. Understandable. What isn't is when you choose to light up, or be rude to others for no reason when you can just wait a bit and then indulge yourself in private or around friends who feel the same way as you.

Portiea: Hi reelman I think we could make a lot of money too if we legalized heroine, cocaine, mary jane, etc. Why not? The economy needs a boost and that would probably be just the ticket. End a lot of crime too. Cool.
Why not: Because the percentage of people influenced by most of the "illegal" drugs are more likely to commit a crime (a vast increase above normal) even without needing money to pay for their habit. Yes... keeping them illegal causes some problems with a handful of people, but making them legal would cause more problems with crime than it would solve (In my opinion).

I don't have a problem with potheads and Mary Jane. Only would increase the profits for McDonalds. A lot of people complain about pot, but when was the last time you saw a crime report where a person smoked a joint and robbed someone, killed someone or anything of the sorts. The only thing I've seen potheads do is spend $20 bucks at Micky Ds.
As for heroine and cocaine, creates too much of a danger for others. These are severe mind altering drugs. If all people were responsible in the drug use of any form and did not hurt others, I would't have a problem with any of it.

You left off perfumes and all body products with fragrances. Many people are severely allergic!

Robertm80: Yeah... someone here is definately anti-religious. I get that you feel that way about this topic, like it's a religious witch hunt. However, I can't appreciate the idea that a few nuts define an entire group of people. This isn't true of religious people any more than it is of gun owners or car owners who drink. So while you are welcome to your generalizations based on extremists I'll kindly not partake of the same. Have a nice day, and I hope someone does something nice for you (they'd probably be religious).
they might be a follower but hopefully not religious
religiosity is not pleasing
not effective
and not suggested
the good samaritan was the only 'non religious person' that came by
dont stand around with a prayer box on your head
religion never did a good thing for anybody
He said so Himself
however a relationship can change everything
and besides bein smarmy to a stranger is hardly a nice example
welcome to CS tho

thats why i dont wear any
<<<considerate nerd
i have some of my fave perfume my son got me
he is old now he can afford it
its what he remembers me smelling like when he was little
i only wear it when i go to his house
we are just becoming more intolerant of each other
how will this progress things constructively? it wont.

CS is just- a microcosm

True, about many things... but religion did do good things for people. (Hospitals are actually an invention of religion, for example). However, I will agree that most religion as it is followed is far from beneficial. I'm personally a much greater believer in simple kindness and caring than any organized following. However, I also do know of several religious groups that are not evil, mean, threatening, or dangerous to others around them. So yes, religion is not a good thing in and of itself (but neither is it a bad thing in and of itself)... that aspect of something in our world tends to come from the people involved. Guess that leaves it as a sad reflection on us all.------ This thread is Archived ------

Actually you are wrong. I am religious, but by religious I am not a fanatic. I admit that I do possess my own ideals. However by religious, do you mean believe in God? Of course I do. In fact I am a born again Christian. Do I agree with other Christians? No. Although whatever other people do is of no concern of mine, unless it is my own children (that I will own day have... hopefully) and I am trying to protect them. Because as a man, I would be responsible for my own household.
Try to take a joke and laugh at things, you will live longer, I promise you.

Hmm... sorry. Just that I see that idea a lot around, and I really don't find it funny. However, I do enjoy a lot of humor... just certain things don't strike me as funny.
