And you have no right to tell them they do not have freedom of speech. And if you're meaning of a free country means you can do whatever you please regardless of anyone else's rights and feelings, well, then next time I'm in a non-ventilated room with someone smoking, I'm going to pull out my Saturday Night Special. You've lost your rights and my considerations for your feelings Oh, come off it. I have never seen a bigger bunch of self-righteous pinheads than those of you who have nothing better to do than show the rest of the world you have nothing better to do than to make totally obnoxious, rude, and inconsiderate people of yourselves. This is a free, repeat, free country. If I wanna stop someone from smoking in it I can. And will. >I'm used to hearing all of your arguments, tired and hackneyed as they are. >....Yeah, and you're polluting *my* air. Right. Then just get the hell >away from me. I'm used to hearing all your excuses, tired and hackneyed as they are. ....Yeah, its *my* air to pollute if *I* want. Right. If you don't like bullets whistling by your ears, and if you don't like your space becoming dangerous to your well being, then just get the hell away from me. >If you're so concerned about the atmosphere stop driving >your car. A five-minute drive puts thousands of times more pollutants in >the air than one cigarette. Oh I see. Since you aren't the worst pollutant in the world, that makes it okay until such time they are removed and you make the top ten. Right. If you're so concerned about your life and well being, why don't you end all wars. One little war will kill thousands of more people then I ever will with my one six-gun. > It just bugs the shit out of me when grown adults can't tolerate a habit of >others. Jesus. You're all so high and mighty. My habit is shooting silver bullets. I'm glad you will be tolerating me. Or is your highness and mightyness a two-faced hypocrite? >Go ahead, you just try and legislate tobacco and cigarettes out of >existence. Good luck. And while you're trying that, we still have to >listen to you whine and bitch about smoke. Go ahead, you just try and legislate weapons and small arms out of existance. Good luck. And while you're doing that, we still have to listen to you whine and bitch about isolated shooting sprees. >Look. You don't like my smoke? Get the fuck away from me. Look, You don't like my shooting sprees? You know where you can go. >If you're the kind of person who can see past the surface at the person >behind the cigarette you won't. But if you're the sort of superficial ass- >hole currently clogging the net who will judge me for the sole reason that >I have a cigarette in my hand, I don't want you near me anyway. If you're the kind of person who can see past the surface at the person behind the gun barrel you won't. But if you're the sort of superficial ass- hole currently clogging the net who will judge me for the sole reason that I have a gun in my hand, I don't want you near me anyway. And don't tell me this isn't the same. There is no difference if I kill or maim you quickly with my gun or if you do it to me slowly with your cigarette. They are either both right or both wrong.
