Ghost of BiB Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 A bar is PRIVATE property. Tough concept. As far as your eating a cheesesteak, let me know if you're affecting my pocketbook once you're on medicare/caid because that's when it's a hell of alot more intrusive than some guy's cigarette. Second hand smoke outdoors is less dangerous than the sh-- your car puts out. Fug do you sound like a liberal. Go pop a midol. 356596[/snapback] I've heard rumors that Pamprin is just as good.

Chilly Posted June 13, 2005 Author Share Posted June 13, 2005 Yeah, we should put another 50,000,000 people in jail. After that, we can go after fatty foods. Eventually we're going to get to golf, which is environmentally unsound. Get off your high horse and try freedom. It doesn't suck. 356573[/snapback] Duuuuuuuuude, Golf is baddddddddddddddddddddd. It causes divotsssssssssssss. Hold on I need another hit. Freedom comes with responsibility. The responsibility not to blow smoke in the air I breath. I don't see how me eating a cheesesteak or hitting a white ball around a field affects anyone else. Of course you smoke in a building I am in or in the doorway just outside that building and I have to breath that sh-- because you have no responsibility to others. Fine smoke, just do it in your car, your house, and out of public doorways, and out of public places. 356584[/snapback] Freedom also allows you to leave the room, go outside, to another bar, or what not. You could even start a bar without smoking, without a low being put into effect! As long as its legal, why the hell should someone that doesn't like it be able to say "you can't smoke here?" You have the power to change your situation - use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slippery slope, here we come. 356719[/snapback] You're right, I rethought this and I think there are cases where smoking should be permitted. If the owner of the bar, truely owns the bar he could allow it. Now that means he isn't leasing/renting or anything else on the building except the sole owner. Therefore if he owns the building and the bar it should be allowed if he wants, otherwise, no way because it isn't his bar really. If it is a publicly traded company bar (e.g., Benegins) it should not be permitted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VABills Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 Why not let the owners (i.e. the shareholders) decide? 356806[/snapback] What if the shareholder is a government fund. Government would have to divest from all of those companies, driving stock prices down. Besides that isn't a private ownership. If they want to they should buy back all the stock and become a none publicly traded company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way I see it, if it is a stand-alone, privately owned establishment that does NOT serve food, I have zero problem. If people want to go to a pub that caters to the non-smoking crowd, or vice versa, so be it. You are not impinging on a persons right to clean air if people go specifically to an establishment where they know the air will be fithly.

I missed the "right to infringe on private property for the good of the masses" clause in the Constitution. Your "rights" as a patron should under few circumstances trump the owner's where legal substances are concerned. You also have the "right" not to patronize the establishment as well as the "right" to tell the owner why you made that decision. Amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's see, within the last week I've been called to the right of Stalin and now I'm a mouthpiece for the libertarian party. Must be doing alot right if people can't even get close.

EDIT: I'm not sure what food has to do with anything. Someone forcing you to go out to eat? REALITY: If you ban smoking in eating establishments, it won't be long before it's in bars, too. Then illegal altogether. Then they move onto something else. Eventually, there isn't any freedom left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
