are you that far removed from facts and reality?

oo! dear me! someone other than myself has contacted a Congressman !

I've also contacted numerous senator's, a few governors, and even numerous politicians on the local level...

So what? What else have you done to make a difference?

When will you put some money where your mouth is?

Have you spent any money to spread the word (no matter if its right or left )

Have you done ANYTHING to improve the situation?

or are you like 99% of the cry babies on these political forums just whimpering and sitting there complaining
while you wait for others to think you are smart enough to know what you are saying?

I have a question for you:
what does money earmarked to offset the cost of cancer have to do with overpasses?

What does that gun represent? your wish to own one one day?

and about your post - that's a bunch of bull ...

Show some stats backing that blatant lie ....

that's the problem with people like you

you run off at the mouth about stuff you know NOTHING about and think you have an informed vote!

this is the second of your posts which are filled with incorrect stories

people like you who contact congressman are part of the problem as to why they won't listen to the average person.

They are tired of the incorrect thinking that feeds the liberals fodder that still doesn't hit your ability to think

I got a newsflash for ya junior,
In 1964 I got a letter saying report to your draft location that same year I was shipped to a little paradise called Veit Nam in the infantry if you have any concept what that means.

In 1967 I came back and started marching with some others about a thing called civil rights,then in my spare time I got with some other Veit Nam vets and hit the streets to protest the war. I even marched with a lot of people for Pro choice and that crap Nixon pulled.

I've done my time on the front lines in the streets, and got the scars from nightsticks to prove it, so don't flash no crap about stats and contacts with senators and congressmen.

Now this is supposed to be a thread about Smoking being made illegal or not.
And everyone has the right to express their opinion according to the rights stated on the bill of rights unless the Republican party manage to change that as well.

So, if you got a problem with my post you can take it to the moderators, you can take it to the congressman you E-mail from your home or you can step off I have more important issues to address.
PS. DIDN'T WANT THE BIG BAD GUN TO SCARE YOU.

first off - you are only 62 years old
so you aren't old enough to be my parent - I'm not YOUR junior!

and when ANYONE spews Bull .... I'll call ya on it ....

1. I'm not a snitch - are you?
2. don't talk down to me - my PROBLEM was with your inability to utilize FACTS - when you fail to present facts it messes up those who can't defeat me with facts - just like the points in your post - I will call you on it ... like I did! The way any man is supposed to do.

as far as the use of that goofy little gun ... I was trying to understand what it represented!

I too use little gun stuff like:

• 
• 
• 

oooo weeeee

"ARE "YOU" THAT FAR REMOVED FROM REALITY" POST#1125
"THAT'S THE PROBLEM WITH PEOPLE LIKE YOU POST#1126
Before that, point out a post where I talked down to you?
That is a challenge.

Second There's an old saying I go bY, you treat people th way they treat you, you get respect you show respect, you get trash you give trash, so bring it jJUNIOR.
ONE DOES NOT HAVE TO BE OLDER JUST DONE MORE THINGDS IN THEIR LIFE .
The road I traveled you couldn't handel.

I didn't see you in Flint, Memphis,Effingham, Ann Arbor, Battle Creek Washington D.C. and other places marching, what was your miltary unit??

You see in my day we didn't just go to google we had this funny syteme of going out and asking questions course you had to use youir legs but what the hey??
You want to talk spewing BS, check your facts.
I'm 63 born 8/4/45 do the math course you might have to go to google but no prob.

Lets just take a couple of your bright shining statements,and check for bullXXXX residue shall we.

1 Post#1124 I stated poor people get bored too.
Your responce "ABOUT YOUR POST THAT'S A BUNCH OF BULL.....

So, are you saying poor people don't get bored if so where did you get the stats for that where's the link????

2 Your post stated that road mantinence is basicly paid for by fuel taxes??

Well, since my statements are not relevent in your world why don't you just google and see how much taxes are paid by the cigarette industry in say Michigan or New York or California.

Now since the fuel taxes is basicly paying for the road mantinence with the other taxes paid by the people of the state , these states should be doing pretty good, and by the way if not for road mantinence where does those cigarette taxes go????

Oh, sorry about not explaining the gun.
You see a gun represents BANG BANG YOU GOING DOWN.

YOU DON'T WANT ME TO TALK DOWN TO YOU DON'T TALK DOWN TO ME.
THIS STARTED WITH POST 1125 YOUR POST CRITISISING ME AND QUESTIONING MY INTELLIGENCE.
I RESPOND BY CRITISISING YOU, JUNIOR AND QUESTIONING YOUR INTELLIGENCE.

As far as the img list and the oooo weeeee quote.
YAWN, YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE TO BETTTER THAN THAT, KID

You want more of this you better knock down an energy drink , maybe "what is it" a RED BULL or something.
IF NOT, STEP OFF NOW.
NO HARD FELLINGS NO DISRESPECT.

It's On ... LIBERAL!

1. so you ARE THAT FAR REMOVED!
2. and I STILL STAND with the comment "THAT'S THE PROBLEM WITH PEOPLE LIKE YOU" I just forgot to emphizies LIBERAL.

How can a so called military person be such a JUST US nut thinking that is the solution to getting this country back on track?

There it is - ANOTHER Liberal who

1. knows what I have done
2. doesn't know my name
   

... and YOU KNOW WHAT I HAVE DONE!
In the beginning of December it will be 3 years since I retired - I'm not getting ANY government retirement check.



okay Sunny boy - whatever tickles YOUR tonsil ...

and you won't either .... SO?



what a dork! OLD FART - I am not that much younger than you ...

OH NO!! I was off by ONE year ...



okay - let me say this so EVEN YOU can understand ...

WHERE IS THE FACT TO THIS??

Quote:

"Poor people smoke the most"

What does that mean? Is that like saying Italians eat more meatballs or Mexicans eat more beans or blacks eat more hog maws.

TELL ME that isn't a bunch of bull! ... it's all about poor people smoking - whatever!

JUST FOR THE RECORD: your comment about the Lear Jet ... the ONLY Lear Jet I am aware is the one OBAMA took the American Flag Off - as in the ONE HE OWNS that HE TOOK TO HAWAII!

IN CASE YOU FORGOT - here is your statement:
See That? You are trying to toss Obama's stunt in MY FACE ...

WHAT'S false about that?

NOT A THING ...
hey Private - you shot yourself in the foot with that!
Your lack of FACTS hurt you feelings when I called you on the TRUTH - so you cried! again!

There you go AGAIN with your LIBERAL B.S.

Insinuating that I may have implied that the taxes from cigarettes is something other than what it is (a ton of money) - what does the fact that a LOT of money is collected from tobacco have to do with this comment by you in post #1110?
FACT IS: the tax on tobacco is spent to educate people against tobacco and to subsidize the costs accrued by the government because of the inability of people to pay for their medical.

So - you were wrong! ... not me!

you think respect comes from making false statements?
and that isn't a false statement?

OK - I'LL DO YOUR LIBERAL JOB ... Here is where it is supposedly going:

1. SACRAMENTO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE LINK)--May 25, 1995--Yesterday, the American Lung Association and American Cancer Society won another legal victory in the ongoing battle over the expenditure of Prop. 99 tobacco tax funds.
2. (the link) Ned Roscoe and his dad, John, are discount cigarette store mavericks leading the effort to repeal the new tobacco tax earmarked for childhood development programs.
3. (the link) The State of Oregon sued tobacco companies this week to recover more money under the 1998 Master Settlement Agreement (MSA). That agreement, signed by Oregon and 45 other states, requires the four largest tobacco companies to pay specified amounts each year to the settling states, ostensibly as reimbursement for the costs of treating smoking-related illnesses.
4. (the link) Tobacco tax for health care loses
   Posted by The Oregonian November 06, 2007 22:00PM
   In the face of a $12 million campaign blitz by tobacco makers, Oregon voters rejected a cigarette tax increase that would have raised money for uninsured children and other health care needs.
   
   The 3-to-2 vote against Measure 50, which would have increased Oregon's cigarette tax by 85 cents a pack, caps the most expensive political campaign in Oregon history and follows similar defeats in Missouri and California last year.

... but I didn't! Here I am!

after this I doubt I'll bother reading anything you say again!

whatever ... this whimpering was covered elsewhere where you whimpered about the same thing in another part.

hey Private - at least "JUNIOR" took it off his OWN SITE ...
it's more than you did!

I don't need artificial stimulation to trip on this type of drivel!

It should be the business owner, not the government, that chooses whether or not a workplace should be smoke-free. It should be your right, not the government's, to choose whether to work at a non-smoking workplace or a smoking-allowed workplace.

The stupidest restriction is requiring non-smoking bars. Do you seriously mean to tell me that people who habitually ingest a gyawdawful tasting substance that kills their brain cells and rots out their liver cells are such health nuts that they need to be "protected" from my cigarette smoke when 80% of them are smokers too? Just more evidence of liberals' inability to think with their brains.

And restaraunt employees have the right to choose whether to work for smoking-allowed restaraunts or not.

Do you seriously believe that alcoholics "keep their habit to themselves" and do not "share" their habit? That's funny, because most bar fights I've ever seen were started by a bunch of obnoxious drunkards. Rarely does being under the influence of nicotine cause one to start some pissed off bar fight.

SO factory owners should also be able to determine if they provide safety goggles etc as well?

We should just leave up to business owners to determine how safe or healthy they wish to make the work environment for employees?
