Main:A few months ago, my father and I had an argument concerning the legislation which would ban smoking in restaurants altogether. He asserted that most people (being nonsmokers) hated going to restaurants and would start going more if they didn't have to deal with smoke. My argument was that most nonsmokers really don't care all that much ( Read more... )

Kyle, sounds to me like you need a trip the Museum of Tolerance.

Why can't you be tolerant of other people's intolerance, you hate monger?

Well I refuse to tolerate your intolerance towards other people's intolerance. But I'm not going to call it intolerance, I'm going to call it self-righteous indignation caused by me knowing what's better for everyone than they do.

being a non smoker who lives with a smoker, i have a LOT of conversations about this.

i basically agree with you.

my position is that it should always be completely up to the owner of the bussiness what's allowed and what isn't, and there's no place for legislation in any of this. i'd also like to mention that while i sometimes opt for a resteraunt that's entirely non smoking for respitory reasons, all the cool kids are in the smoking section, and i often find myself sitting there even when im alone.
at least in the smoking section there's rarely a crying baby next to you.
RARELY.

also hi. how've ya been?
