I have decided that I'm really sick of concert venues and bars in the Cleveland area likening the recently enacted smoking ban to Soviet Communism and/or 1984's "Big Brother
( Read more... )
i know this probably isn't my place to speak... but i'll just do it anyways, and i've always enjoyed arguing with you
i kinda thought the "1984" posters at the beachland were you know.. funny. You have to hand it to them that unlike all bars in lakewood, they've actually banned smoking. Which they will eventually all have to do anyways.
I'm fine with the smoking ban, mostly on the grounds that is just not that big of a deal to smoke here or there or not at all.
I see evils in having a smoking ban and not, and i'm not sure which is the lesser, but those willing to actually go vote made that decision, maybe all the smokers were busy being addicted to cigarettes and finding other dangerous habits to poison others with. like driving cars or having unprotected sex. yowza!
Also, i really don't appreciate you referring to me now as "Mr. Smoking-and-peeing-with-the-door-open-in-the-ladies'-room-at-the-Grog-Shop". its an awkardly long sort of nickname, negative, and seems to totally forget that when peeing, dudes don't usually have to close doors, as there aren't any, and so shouldn't be expected to do so.
I thought they were kinda funny, too, but then when I was walking about town last Monday I saw posters elsewhere with a hammer & sickle on them and then it wasn't funny anymore.
Unlike you, I haven't been to "all bars in Lakewood" to know that people are smoking in there. I've only been to the one that gives me free drinks, and at that one, some people smoke on Ladies' Night because of a loophole in the law that allows smoking if someone is renting out the place.
"Those willing to actually go vote" = you. If I recall correctly, though, you couldn't really remember which things you voted for and against when you were finished...
Look, Mr. smoking-and-peeing-with-the-door-open-in-the-ladies'-room-at-the-Grog-Shop, you earned the nickname and you're keeping it. And it doesn't matter if you have to close your door at home, which you do, by the way, or in public, which, fine, you don't, cause there are urinals, but, I think you should be civilized enough to notice the lack of urinals and presence of doors in the ladies' room and maybe also the fact that there are ladies in there and act accordingly! The Grog Shop apparently agrees, as they have put up signs that emphasize the ladies aspect of the ladies' room as well as a reminder not to smoke in there.
