I'm not sure that sleeping with the firefighters will cause anything but scandal.

My guess is everybody that comments on this website has been dealt a raw deal at some point in their lives. I've got plenty of sob stories, but I didn't steal a car and torture animals over any of them.

On Smoking ban

Posted on July 12 at 2:10 p.m.

BJnemp: I'm about to persue my third college degree in the sciences (I am the educated world). I do realize that secondhand firearm is absurd, but I defined secondhand smoke in a way that few could argue it was inaccurate. I simply applied the it to firearms, by definition it fits. Guns nor cigarettes (via secondhand smoke) kill people without help from somebody. I have nothing against smokers at all. I smoked for years. If you smoke, smoke it up, but it won't kill you any faster to take it outside, but it may kill me slower. All I want is that not one red cent of the medicare and taxes I pay out of my paychecks go to caring for any smoker with an illness that is in anyway linked to smoking. I've seen Arkansas' the ban go into effect. Where public smoking is allowed in 21 and over establishments or establishments where 50% of profits were derived from alcohol sales. There were the intitial grumblings of the evil politicians aiming at controlling every nuance of your life, but people adapted. The bowling alley I worked at saw an increase in overall business with the help of people whom had previously avoided the center because it was too "smokey".
For the record: I'm anti-gun control (for law abiding citizens), I love dogs (even if they want to ride in the back of a truck), and my wife and I want children one day, but after I finish graduate school (aka becoming even higher member of educated world). In nearly all cases I'm very much pro-rights including gay marriage, abortion, and even that jack**s in Topeka that pickets funerals. As long as he does it from a distance (kinda like smoking).

"OutsiderJ" Not at all my point, shooting smokers is the type of ridiculous rants I detest. My point was that just because a law may limit the rights of some doesn't make the world a worse place.
Secondhand smoke = Smoke from smoker to INNOCENT bystanders. Therefore when applied to guns, plenty of people die from "secondhand firearm" .(just ask Beau Arndt's family)

Noone ever died of diseases caused by secondhand caffeine. Perhaps we should lift any regulations in place on where a person can discharge a firearm. I'm sure when these were passed people complained too until they realized it is in the best interest of public safety/health.
