smokers revenge

Well, obviously, I wouldn't have done it then, Ref. Why would I ask if
I intended to ignore the answer?

I wasn't, by the way, afraid of HARMING them, just concerned that the
smell of the smoke might ruin the meal for them.

Actually, though, I have to confess that just this weekend I asked the
people next to me in an outdoor cafe if it was okay, because the tables
were right on top of one another. I did this twice, and in both cases
my neighbors said it was and thanked me for asking, thereby reinforcing
my considerate behavior.


Hold on there...you said that they said it was OK for you to smoke.

What if they had said "Thank you for asking, but yes, I do mind very much."

Teehee, sure, but I think I can type faster than I can speak anyway, and
you have no more chance of seeing my great smile on the phone than you
do in the newsgroup.

Nice try. It's your topic; you started it.

I DID NOT. That was George in NY. Blame it on him.

It is totally related to cruising.

Well, so is toilet paper, but who wants to talk about it endlessly?

It's no longer up to you or me whether the topic continues or dies out.

It belongs to Usenet now.

This is true.

Do you believe that first-hand smoke is harmful?

A simple yes or no would be very cool. :-)

How about yes AND no?

I think having to listen to some boring New Jersey accented, bleached blond,
yaking on a cellphone, is worse than any smoker!

This amazes me. But, OK.

I do, though I realize you were asking Sunny, not me. I consider it
very rude, and I have very little belief that second-hand smoke harms
anyone.


You mean like people with allergies and asthma? It doens't harm them?

Didn't we cover this point already? Your cologne might harm someone;
your fixation on using a GPS could harm ME (do those things give off
some kind of electromagnetic somethingorother?)

Nope... they receive. They don't send. No transmitter.

--Tom --- doesn't do cologne either

Ain't economics great?

--Tom

I would imagine it's more politics than economics.
When it comes down to it, how many airlines have ever really been
profitable?

There is no reason to use foul language,to me it means that you are
uneducated,and cannot find other words to use

Ok. Actually the only word I used which might be construed by some
uptight individuals as "foul" was "****." Personally, I do not consider
the word "****" to be "foul." Would I have seemed more educated to you,
if I had suggested to the op that he have "sexual intercourse with
himself"? How about telling him to "stick it to himself?" Perhaps you'd
prefer something like "go make whoopie with yourself?"

You don't understand. The mere mention of certain words labels you a
anti-fill in or a bigot or a racist.

Say "Jew."

Now you're an anti-Semite.

See how it works?
