Lightbulb I agree with PenWright

I have to admit that I agree with PenWright on this one. You darn right our children have rights. It is not fair for them to breathe second hand smoke if they choose not to. How dare someone say children do not have rights to clean air, have you smoked so many cigarettes it has warped your mind?

I do not agree that it should be against the law to smoke in front of children and that we can be taken to jail if we do so, but our we adults smokers or are we children smokers that should know the difference on cleaning up after your own smoking messes, do not throw your butts on the ground and knowing you should not smoke in small closed in environments around our children.

I think the bottom line is this. This is why the government and states are coming down hard on all the smokers and making all these laws about were we can smoke, who we can smoke around and the fire safe paper on the cigarettes to keep the dumb people that catch their house on fire because they get toasted, fall asleep with a cigarette in their hand and ends up killing their entire family, makes perfect sense to me. What they are saying is we are a bunch of dump smokers that need to be told what to do because we do not have enough common sense to do the right thing for ourselves.

Clean up after ourselves. Be respectful and not smoke around others that do not wish to partake, do not allow your children to inhale second hand smoke and stop getting drunk and falling asleep with a cigarettes in your hand and burning your house down killing others.

Hmmm that should be a no brainer don’t you think?

Smokers do have rights but for the most part they are so worried about everyone telling them they can not smoke then being responsible smokers therefore they have lost the concept of what their smoking right truly are. I have never met more rude people in my life than smokers are and I am a smoker so it hurts me to say this, however truth is truth, I have witness a women asking a smoker to move because she was allergic to cigarette smoke and do you know what this adult smoker said? Tough S*** I have a right to smoke here if I wish too it is a free country and if you do not like it move. This smoker acted ridiculous being for the fact we were all standing in line with 45 other people to get tickets for a movie. What was the person suppose to do jump out of line because this retarded smoker refused to be courteous and was she suppose to go back to the end of the line were was fresh air to breathe? Did the guy really have the right to smoke there? Yes but was it the right thing to do? No it was not the right way to handle the situation. Situations just like this one is why we now have babysitter that have to tell us were we can smoke.

Children do not have rights, what is this world coming too? Do children have the right not to be beaten from their parents? That is why CPS now tells us we can not beat our children like we could back in 1979. Now maybe you can understand why we now have babysitters telling us were we can smoke. It always narrows down to the stupid idiotic people that lack the responsibility for their own actions. Then people wonder why things are the way they are. Sheesh!
