The People's Republic of NYC may ban vaping because it looks bad.
New York City May Ban Vaping Because It Looks Like Smoking - Hit & Run : Reason.com
I can't imagine there is anything more pressing than preventing people from enjoying a safe alternative to cigarettes, can you?
Doesn't surprise me at all. de Blasio is nanny Bloomy on steroids . He will continue all of Bloomy's ban and add some off the wall ones on his own. Coming soon ;a ban on horse drawn carriages in Central Park in the name of animal rights.
can't see the point of banning something that does away with cigarette smoke, unless the tobacco companies support your campaign. do they also ban candy cigarettes?
It's unsafe to knit
Surely this is first for any nanny state?
Knitting nannas in court over purler of a protest against logging at Mount St Leonard
peaceful protesters charged over the disturbance of knitting
these vapor cigs were invented to wean people off tobacco.What happened instead is that they are hooking a new generation on tobacco because they are cool and flavored .Also people can use them undetected indoors so it's become a trend for smokers to take the smokeless ones into bars ,concerts etc.
And of course the pot crowd have discovered vaporizers for pot too. They are expensive ....the Pax vaporizer goes for about $250 . Since the user doesn't inhale some of the toxins inherent in smoke inhalation ,it's probably a positive development over the alternatives.
I guess they weren't using wood chairs . What's wrong with responsible logging ?
The question is when is it responsible? these protests are about old growth forests, pristine areas, noone protests about plantation forest harvesting, just about destruction of old growth forest to establish plantations; it's a hardwood v softwood debate
The whole point of this thread besides the silliness of the world around us is to protest AMHD allowing the last thread to exceed their limits and making over 100 posts to disappear.
much better to keep the old growth forest "pristine " until nature does it's thing and burns it down.
Don't be a cynic Tom, we love our old growth forest and don't want multinational timber companies profiting from them any more than we want multinational agribusiness profiting from our wheat crop.
We have the will to defy multinationalism!
yes what happened to it ?Quote:

Don't weep Tom we all get ignored some of the time
Not much of value was lost. It's gets repetitive.
Thank you for your always thoughtful responses.Quote:

NK of course was speaking about his own contributions .
Of course.
Hey, how come you guys never post on the Politics board?
I'm not allowed to say such things. Apparently everyone here is free to hurl insults and provoke while I shut up and behave. Oops, there I go again. I feel an infraction coming.Quote:

You're welcome again. Bless you.
Do you think this is why that thread no longer exists
I don't care what the cause was .... there were multiple contributors to the op and their work should not just disappear .
No, it exceeded their 1500 post limit. What I don't get is why days after they closed it they shaved off the extra posts they allowed or why certain people are allowed more latitude than others.Quote:

There is import news they are banning drop bears in Australia, the big white ones in Bundie ads anyway
Nah, I can take being dissed. I despise separate rules.
Now I can see how some people might think that, so it's not evolution, but hybridation followed by adaptation. Something has to be recognised, all creatures on Earth have a certain amout of common DNA, this is one reason why evolution is thought to exist. What we have here is an example of why it doesn't exist. Pigs, didn't evolve into men, Chimpanzee's didn't evolve into men and I strongly suspect that a oneoff animal hybrid, which was likely to be a mule, didn't either. The hyphophis being put forward here is that pigs and chimps were frequently interacting. If anyone has seen film of chimp society they will know there is a great deal of violence and the possibility of a hybrid infant surviving highly unlikelyQuote:

Obamas numbers are bad but yours are not that good either.
Republican approval rating falls to lowest point in Gallup poll history - Politicssource
You give me spin from a 2 month old poll? Congress' approval is lower than a salesman, and that includes Democrats.Quote:
