What a great thing smoke-free zones have become. Next step is to stop
smokers congregating at the entrances to public places/buildings.... |

Yes wonderful ... we have pubs closing around our area at a phenomenal rate,
because a couple of boneheads sitting in the corner nursing a glass of coke
for half an hour, and yakking on about how wonderful it is that the pub
isn't full of smokers any more, just isn't enough to pay the friggin
bills... But just so long as you don't have to smell cigarette smoke, that's
fine.
I think what most of the publicans around me would ask is, where the hell
are all you fuckers who demanded smoke free pubs? You've banned all the
smokers but never had any intention of filling the void becasue you don't go
to pubs anyway
Frankly, it would make far more financial sense to ban the non-smokers, as
the outcome is almost identical. You wouldn't have to put up with cigarette
smoke, and smokers wouldn't have to put up with your spineless complainig
about a problem you can just get up and walk away from anyway
For a Liberal nation, we seem to have, and continue to gain, a staggering
amount of civil legislation stating you must do this and you shan't do that.
Thanks to the fact that 21st century man.. sorry.. 'person' .. is
self-centered, egotistical and strikingly myopic, so long as the legislation
upholds their particular narrow set of desires, then they feel it's a damn
good thing that people's freedoms are being removed from them by the latest
meddlingly, petty-minded piece of tosh to come out of parliament.
Every issue appears to now be dealt with through legislative process; the
simple solutions to problems just aren't even considered anymore. If you
don't like your ears bleeding, don't go to death-metal concerts. If you
don't like eating meat, don't go to an open air barbeque at London Zoo. If
you're so concerned about your health that smelling cigarette smoke sends
you in to a moralising, ego-centric Liberal rage, then don't go to pubs ...
there's nothing in them for you..
Simple solutions for a happier Britain, but none of these will do. It
appears that certain sectors of our society are not happy unless they see
people who do things they disaprove of, being squashed out, alientated and
legislated against. It helps inflate and confirm their pompous feelings of
self-rightious indignation which rise to the surface every time somone pulls
out a cigarette, to know that these people are law-breakers
To be honest here, stepping back in the discussion a paragraph or so, going
outside at all in any city or town, is probably to be recommended against.
The air is full of carcinogens, particulates and other undesireabe exhaust
emissions from traffic and business which do your health untold amounts of
damage.. Shall we stop the entire economy for you as well while you breathe
in air and do nothing of any value? .. At least where I live, we're
destroying a sector of it to protect your sensibilities already, so it's
only really a question of degree
All this worthless, personal, civil interference is taking place as if there
aren't geniune problems which need addressing.. Why don't these people stop
pissing around with legislation to deal with issues which, if we actually
use and apply a little common sense, already have solutions.
I never thought I'd hear myself say this but these days, I think I've got
far more in common with Conservatives than Liberals. You can rely on
Conservatives to present you with exactly what they are. They don't pretend
to be your friend while they chain you up in a gimp costume and butt-f*ck

I can only answer for where I live.. I've never seen so many for sale and
to-let signs on pubs. You go in them, they're empty |
