Watch your biased terminology, OK?

"anti-smoking" is NOT the same as "anti-smoker."

Speaking of which, you might just as well characterize the two positions as "pro-health" vs. "pro-cancer" or "pro-clean-air" vs. "pro-polluted air".

So you would force your filthy ciggie smoke on others and make it so that people cannot come into the restaurant?

The passage of smoking bans in two large Minnesota cities was not associated with job losses at bars and may in fact have contributed to higher employment in restaurants, according to new research.

The study is the first to examine the economic effects of clean indoor air policies on bars and restaurants as independent types of businesses, the researchers said. Consistent with previous published studies of the economic impact of smoking bans, this analysis did not find significant economic effects on the hospitality industry as a whole.

In both Minneapolis and St. Paul, the policies were associated with an increase of at least 3 percent in employment at restaurants over a 2 ½-year span following adoption of a local clean indoor air policy. Employment in Minneapolis bars increased more than 5 percent after passage of that city's smoking ban, while in St. Paul, bar employment had a nonsignificant decrease of 1 percent - a decrease that cannot be statistically distinguished from zero, or no change in employment.

The researchers noted that the broad look at total bar and restaurant employment at the city level over time means that this study is not able to describe potential changes at the neighborhood or individual business level. Opponents to smoking bans have argued against enactment of these policies with predictions of large revenue losses, worker layoffs and business closures in the hospitality industry, and at bars in particular because of known correlations between drinking and tobacco use.

Isn't it interesting how the Northern and Western states are doing a much better job of protecting people's health from tobacco smoke than the backward southern states?

After Rupert just gave one million dollars to the GOP Govs, you sure can't call them a legitimate news network, though hardly anyone ever really did. They're a propaganda machine, pure and simple.

There is every likelihood that what we are seeing today is that the Indians and the US-backed regime in Kabul are using water as a weapon for the first time to deluge Pakistan. There is no doubt about it.

Holy fuck, they really are that stupid.

"GODDAMN MOTHERFUCKING BULLSHIT!!!

Whew... ok, so I ordered a curry and spinach pizza tonight from this place that has cool world pizzas and $5 large pizzas on Tuesday nights. I didn't realize that my pizza also had chicken on it, and as I'm a vegetarian, I called up one of my friends nearby who would appreciate such a pizza. I drove over to his place and met him outside and we were discussing the details of a gig playing for Governor Taft's Governor's Ball this weekend, when two kids walked up to us.

One of them asked if he could make a call, and as they were both scrawny little kids and it was 2 and 2, I hesitantly let him, because I'm a nice guy. The other kid asked for a piece of pizza, and my friend gave him a slice. After biting into it, he asked, "are there green this?" I said, "Yeah, spinach. Spinach is great! Pop-eye ate spinach, and it made him strong!" Right when I said that, the other kid socked me in the mouth, and I flew backwards into the road and landed on my back. I got up and the dumbasses were still standing there, and for some reason, I decided to start chasing them. When they realized I was too fast for them (how I ever became a good runner, I have no idea), they stopped. I caught up with them, and tried to get my phone back, but now it was 2 on 1. They ran across the street into a dark alley, and I realized it would've been really stupid to continue after them, and my friend was already calling the cops.

So, now I have no phone, no contact book, no calendar of gigs, no texts, etc, and my lips are swolen, bloody, and bruised.

Fuckin' a'."

And why should we work full-time for life!?

Feminism is about having the right to choose our path in life. Not the one the male patriarchy oppresses us with.

I hope to hell my daughter doesn't try to major in some bullshit area like religion and women's studies. So far she's on track to be a decent intelligent woman, wants to be a veternarian but goddamn...I would refuse to pay for that bullshit.

This is an example of a reason I can't stand to work in corporate America. The amount of delusional drivel that people spew and expect to be taken seriously is beyond comprehension. They say these things with a passion and level of certainty that suggests that they both have a point and that it's legitimate. Well, here's the deal son. You have no point. None. Your pay and their pay is not relevant or connected to what they did in the years leading up to the point where you made your "genius and highly insightful analysis."

You are pointing at two different people, with two different upbringings and backgrounds, as well as different intelligence levels, life desires and values. And you are pushing them together, drawing an irrelevant conclusion and saying, "makes you think." Well, it doesn't make me think. And if it does make you think, then perhaps you may consider raising the bar for your thinking. This is mumbo jumbo goo goo talk from the undeveloped mind of a child.

Other than that, great post!

The black fertility rate is barely higher than the white one in the US, and in some states it's actually lower. Hispanics do have a substantially higher fertility rate but it will almost certainly decline in future generations. Fertility is not only declining among whites, but almost everywhere in the world.

There is no fucking way with a pistol. You get in a situation where you need to use one and you just fire the whole magazine. There is no control. You just spray. Look at dashcam footage of cop traffic stops gone wrong. They just fucking spray.

Deadly quick way to defend. Well worth time and ammo to learn with both hands. Laser is a great way to get skilled at point shooting
And save some ammo in the beginning stages of point shooting.
