Smoking ban in Philadelphia approved

[Tomahawk]

This country was founded on tobacco.  Its BS that you cant smoke in your own car/home.  If i wanted to live under Commie/Toltarian  rule North Korea would be the hot spot. 

Totalitarian

I just saw that on the History Channel the other day - tobacco funded the American Revolution. It's bullshtein they don't want to let me smoke outside.

So are the penalties for smoking were forbidden just fines?

[Sgt PSN]

Death.  Then they mail your corpse to Chuggie.

Michigan — All sodomy acts illegal. Penalty =(15 years)

I really did not need another reason to hate that god forsaken state.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

HAIL!  to those motherfargers...
HAIL!  to those big corksuckers...
HAIL! HAIL!  to Michigan, the cesspool of the west!

HAIL!  to those fornicators...
HAIL!  to those masturbators...
HAIL! HAIL!  to Michigan, the cesspool of the west!

S-T-A-T-E... farg YOU.

Maybe Munson can move there.   California is a ridiculous state, i cant wait until it sinks into the pacific.

Waah waaah. Quit whining.

Pro athletes are slaves.  Warren Sapp says so.

Md. Senate Passes State Smoking Ban

Maryland lawmakers voted yesterday to ban smoking in bars and restaurants statewide, express "profound regret" for the state's role in the slave trade and deny parole to child rapists in a burst of activity as they confronted a key deadline for moving legislation.

A 33 to 13 vote in the Senate all but ensured that next year Maryland will join at least 18 states and the District, which have similar prohibitions designed to protect workers and patrons from the dangers of secondhand smoke.

Lawmakers must reconcile several differences with a bill passed Saturday by the House of Delegates before sending it to Gov. Martin O'Malley (D). The governor has said he will sign a statewide smoking ban, despite concerns about exemptions allowed in the legislation. Both versions of the bill would allow counties to enforce stricter bans if they elected to do so.

The legislation has been opposed by the restaurant industry's lobby, but Sen. Robert J. Garagiola (D-Montgomery), its lead sponsor, called Senate passage "a victory for public health."

I spit Pepsi all over my keyboard when I read that.

First they came for my transfats and I sat silent.

Then they came for my cigarettes, and again, I sat silent.

Finally they came for my beer in a can - well, enough's enough, damn it!
