Why do people wnat to legislate other people's rights when it doesn't affect them?
It is just like the men who attack abortion rights.
Heck, if a dude wants to score with his goat, who are townsfolk to come between such love....

Seems like the real point of order here is what constitutes "affect".
I tend to agree that the marriage of two people does not affect me, whether they are heterosexual, bi or homosexual. But the conservatives suggest that allowing same sex marriage creates a precedent which may shape society in a harmful way, thereby affecting them and their children.
Non-smokers should have the right to an opinion on public smoking laws. The reason is obvious.
Sorry, DreamGirl, abortion isn't just a female issue (IMO :-) )

Maybe I have misunderstood the law, but I thought that they did!
Are you saying that a theater cannot have a 'smoking' screen?
I always thought that they simply chose not to have one because
the market is much smaller for smokers.

Originally posted by NemesioMost bars are frequented by smokers. The bottom line is why should i have some politician dictate whether my bar be smoking or non smoking. That should be the owners decision. If more non smokers patronize his bar then it would make more business sense for him to make it non smoking and vice a versa.
