Notice the no smoking sign here. Smokers are too stupid to read.Today Jennifer Granholm has signed a bill banning smokers from smoking in pretty much any public place in the state of Michigan with the exception of casinos and cigar bars. This is the greatest law ever signed, period. I am sick of the people crying that this is an infringement on their rights. What about my life to not suck in your carcinogens?
The bottom line is smokers are selfish pieces of garbage. Nothing angers me more than when I am driving and I see a parent smoking in the car, while their babies are in the backseat. Just because you choose to give yourself cancer doesn't mean that your 2 year old wants it, asshole. Heaven forbid you sit through a meal without lighting up. I know nothing goes with your burger better than a cigarette, but it will be okay. I promise.
Those who complain about the smoking ban say that the next thing to come is the banning of smoking in the car. I think this is a great idea. People who smoke in the car generally throw their cigarette butts out the window. News flash smokers, there's this thing that they invented for your car. It is called an ashtray, assholes. The world was not intended to be your ashtray, but I guess since you're just smoking one cigarette right now, it is okay to litter. Never mind that the cigarettes you throw out the window, while indulging in your trashy habit add up.
Others argue that it should be the right of the business owner to decide whether he/she should allow smoking within their establishment. When I am invited into a business owner's establishment, I am under the assumption that no harm will come to me. If I am breathing in the carcinogens of a selfish smoker, I am directly put in danger. If we are going to allow smoking, we might as well make sure the government doesn't regulate anything. Never mind fire safety and health codes. It is the business of the owner, and the government should not regulate anything that an owner decides to do in their own business.
Since government is trying to control other people's lives these days, here are some other areas in which the government should step in and save us from ourselves, as some of the less educated crowd tends to put it.
Stupid people should not be allowed to reproduce. If idiots didn't breed, there would be no trashy children to pick up the habit of smoking, thus eliminating the need to have an anti-smoking law. Directly relating to the end of stupid people would be the fall of ignorance, which would consequently eliminate the Republican Party.
Eliminate speed limits. I paid for my car, therefore I should have the right to drive it as fast as I choose.
Drinking and driving. If I can consume it without puking, I should be able to drive. That is the general rule of thumb for me. After all, it is my right to return home.
A law should be passed making it legal to shoot people. This is much quicker than exposing somebody to second hand smoke, and assuming your victims get lung cancer, a quick bullet to the head is a lot less painful.
I know some of these ideas are absurd, but so are the people who oppose this ban. Stop being thinking only of yourself.

on your "stupid people breeding" law...
ReplyDelete1. not all smokers are stupid
2. i know some smart people that came from stupid parents and vice versa, it would not eliminate stupid people
you know what else slowly kills people? junk food/fatty foods. next thing you know the govt outlaws bars from selling burgers and fries and such. Oh, drinking and driving kills people too. People drive to the bar, thats usually how we get there, it's ignorant to think that most people at the bar have a designated driver even though that the smart thing. Next thing you know the govt outlaws bars. and maybe after a stressful week i want to go to the bar, drink, eat a burger and smoke a freaking cigarette. it is my right.
You have missed the point. When somebody eats junk food and fatty foods, they're only harming themselves. When you light up a white trash stick you're harming everybody around you. It is your right to kill yourself. Please take a gun and do so. It is not your right to kill others.
ReplyDeleteWhile drinking and driving does kill people, as the statistics will tell you, there are still laws prohibiting this activity. It is just as hard to enforce as the smoking ban that everybody is throwing a fit about.
You missed the sarcasm that was infused throughout this article. I know not all smokers are stupid, however statistics do show that a majority of smokers do come from the lower uneducated classes. Also, many smart people come from stupid parents, it was a joke. I would hope that future generations would exceed their parents. That's how it is supposed to be.
I am a smoker, and I mostly agree with your post. My only question is if a majority of smokers quit (I know this is unlikely) would you be willing to pay higher taxes to offset the difference in tax revenue?
ReplyDeleteMost of this entry is sarcasm. I do detest smoking, but as long as people don't smoke around others I don't have a problem with it. This is the 1% of smokers that take their filthy habit outside. As far as the tax increase goes, I would personally have no problem with it. I'll break even, since if a large population of the smokers really did quit (unrealistic, they need their precious carcinogens far too badly), then taxes would go up, and my medical insurance rates would come down, in theory anyway.
