Kill joy!

If you end it, what else can we --politely-- agree to disagree about?

Like the Romans, intelligent men need discourse...give me liberty (to smoke) or give me death (killing those employees don't yah know!)

They will get these smokes out of my cold dead hands....and all the bar owners will then be able to wash their walls and ceilings down for the last time.

Anyone who rides blue....is a commie pinko!

........think my battery is running down....did yah hear that the Chevy won't be called a Chevy because after all these years, it must now be called a chevroooolaaaaaaa!

Man all these orange barrels are beginning to wear me down....just another reason to hate summer.

Wonder if there are any jobs in Barrow, Alaska! (do you think they ride all year around up there??)

Okay....I'll shut up now....but if you DO pull the plug on this TYLER....you better think of something else to occupy these pages....and it probably would be good to find a topic that John won't get so roiled up about.

its just funny that you would use the analogy that you own the park.....seems that your tax dollar gets you the "right" to tell every one how to live and use THEIR space....but i guess your tax dollar bought and payed for the bar down the block......what next NO smoking in parks,cars shoot your on a roll now maybe come take our guns next.....funny how you think you own the world!!!!

I didn't say I own the park, I was referring to the owner analogy above. I believe the folks who don't care about how their actions affect the other people around them are the selfish ones.
I am officially out now. This is getting nowhere.

I pay the taxes in the wildlife area/running trails, that I was RUNNING in (not drinking or eating), therefore I am an owner. It was 5;30 A.M., there was a reasonable expectation that I would not be inhaling someone's second hand smoke.
Let's put it this way:
Have you ever been out on a quiet lake fishing with your kids, or at a beach with the family, and some a-hole parks it next to you and just has to show everyone how loud his stereo is? Illegal? Maybe a noise statute, depending on the cop, if you call one. Inconsiderate? Most definitely. Again, it is just a matter of social decorum to think about what your actions do to others around you. My parents brought me up not to be that A-hole.

I get what you are saying but I would say that would be more like someone blowing smoke in your face directly than you just running by them and inhaling it. If you liked the music the boat was playing and the scenery was good I would be okay with it. : )

How come no one has mentioned how much S&S oil smokes compared to Amsoil?

(just trying to keep the spirit alive, haven't heard this mentioned on here but in passing)

Let me try one more analogy. Say your occupation is an accountant in an office building. Nobody forced you to become an accountant, but the money is good, you get to meet interesting people, and you enjoy your job. Your boss gets a client who comes in and asks him to add massive ammounts of salt to all of the food in the cafateria. The client enjoys salt and it is legal, and since the boss really does not mind and the client is bringing in money he allows the unhealthy practice in the cafateria. You cannot leave the building for lunch as there is no place nearby to get lunch which would not make you late getting back. No refrigerators to allow you to bring your own lunch. If you stay at the job your blood presure will go through the roof and will end up with heart desease and die. You want to get another job but this client is doing buisness with every accounting firm in the state. So you either go on unemployment or slowly kill yourself with your boss's clients unhealthy habbit. This brings up another unsettling point. The bar and resturaunt owners really don't care enough about their employees and patrons to not allow smoking without a law forcing it is really disturbing. They choose money over the health of their employees and nonsmoking patrons. I guess that is why they call it "The allmighty dollar".
