People who smoke in their car when they have children in the back seat should be forced to eat their own shit. That’s how disgusting it is for the tiny victim in the car who is being forced to inhale your putrid, disease-induced second hand smoke. It’s really, really disgusting. —Think About It

Better dig up my dear old dad at the Gate of Heaven then. It’s amazing I’ve made it to age 56 after all that horrible second-hand abuse. For fuck’s sake, don’t you goddamn Smoke Nazis have anything else to do with your time?
Yes, it’s so evil. What utter bullshit. The vast majority of us 30+ had parents smoking at home, in cars etc and are completely fine. It’s only been in the last 20-30 years that kids have been diagnosed with asthma, ADHD, allergies to peanut butter, etc., most of which is bullshit. About the same time the nanny state started.
I agree about the smoking in cars with kids…not the shit eating part though, but I thinks it’s wrong. Yesterday a couple got fined for smoking with a 9 year old in the car.
But my mom smoked with me and my siblings in the car always …and dad use to drink n drive with us in the car….crazy how times have changed.
I’m pretty sure that this is now illegal to do. I believe it came in to effect when the No Driving while on the cell did.
A couple were charged for it yesterday. And coincidentally there have been no reported swarmings in the last 24 hours. Dare we suppose….?
Nah, it’s a complete fluke.
So, there really is no “good news” >: (
Back to looking at kittehs with cheezeburgers.
Yes, because something was common place 30 years ago means it is completely acceptable in this day and age. This is a great law, unfortunately, it will be difficult to enforce
Apparently a fuck of a lot easier to enforce than current statutes against robbery and mob violence. Well, at least somebody’s thinking of the children.

surprised to beat jonno to this one.
we watched it this past weekend and will never get that time back.
it does suit the title…
Just because “We can” doesn’t always mean “We should”. That goes as much for science as it does for movie choices I suppose.
i watched trailers for that a few moons ago…thought to myself i will take a pass. puke
it is pretty bad.
I don’t recommend it to anyone really…
if you’re looking for bad but cheesy horror ….

much more entertaining…
Not surprised that movie sucked. Very cheesy premise and there’s no one of note acting in it.
Hey, back in the day William Faulkner could write a Lesbian Vampire story that would really make ya think.
Maybe the parents should offer the kids a smoke too…..because the kids are likely going to choose to smoke once they hit junior high school.
When did you choose to like fucking dudes, sebastian?
Stupid kids, sucking back all the free tobacco smoke, they don’t even know how lucky they are to have parents who can afford to smoke.
ans yet this has been done for what now, a 100 years, and just now, we are finding out it causes kids to take up the habit, or fuck forbid, die of some kind of disease, in the forties.holy oh fuck, that’ll learn em, ain’t that right more.
ttfn, you’re only 56, well now, you are younger than me. and here all the time, i thought you were supposed to be an old bat.
bravo …i grew up with that shit and would have called the cops on my own parents if i could have then. Why as a parent increase the health risk of your child. They may not end up with an issue but why increase the possibility of them having an illness?…It does happen. I need to get out my Smoke Nazi uniform. This is a great new Weapon!!!
Hey, LS, wanna see my arm wings? So you’re older than me? Wow. Shit, you’re probably someone I know – LOL.
I enjoyed LesbianVK … James Cordon (lead guy) just bought another Jag. That fat slob … no actually a fat slob.
“It’s only been in the last 20-30 years that kids have been diagnosed with asthma, ADHD, allergies to peanut butter, etc., most of which is bullshit”
So, you’re saying that people are FAKING peanut allergies and asthma? How big of a fucking moron can you possibly be?
My aunt smoked her whole pregnancy, and smoked in the house and in the car the whole time her kids were growing up. Her husband also smokes heavily.
My cousin has cystic fibrosis. I wonder if my cousin would have a few years more than she has if somebody had told my aunt and uncle that it probably wouldn’t be good for them to smoke around their chronically-ill child who has a lung condition?
That’s fine if people want to smoke. Nobody’s perfect, we all have things we spend too much money on, or that probably aren’t good for our health. But at best, it’s rude and gross (and most of us whose parents smoked probably do fall into this category), and at worst, lifespan-shortening to smoke around your kids.
Amen, jgoreham…
you just never know ttfn, i’m almost invisible to the human eye though. i’m like a shape shifter come changling. i fit into many places where old fuck, such as ourselves, would not. the young honies don’t believe that i hit 60, and want a return visit most times. the college chicks are thw best, or worst, depending on how you look at it. but yeah, i’m here and kicking. been there, done that, and moved on sort a guy. my life is like a book, that has no ending, because i’m not ready to fucking pack it in in any way, just yet. and maybe we will meet sometime in the future, i foresee a bitcher’s meet might be in the works, right comrade ivan?
LS….silly question…but did you ever used to hang out at tthe civic workers or Players club? There both closed now.
real chick, no hon, but in my day i used to do the gold room, iron horse, pub 555, red fox, brass rail, salty’s, the split assed crow, turpin’s, and a few others, though not all in one night.my fav was the fox in bayer’s road shopping center.
lol….OK . Your around my dads age but he’s pretty old school….he used hang out with all the boys playing pass the ace at the civic n players club…I just thought it’d be funny if you knew him. You didn’t say the Misty moon…lol…. that would fit with the other joints.
How ’bout the Choo Choo Train, the Arrows Club, the Eager Beaver and the Paradise Restaurant on Hollis with their cheezy mural?
.99 cent wing steaks at the Derby (5 at time pour moi) and soft core porno at the Cove. Good Times, Good Times. >: )
Fuck the kids. When they can pay for a car themselves they can have the rights when in the vehicle. Until then they can shut up and deal with it. I’m sick of this, “kids are the future” bullshit. The younger generations today are growing up to be born losers so a little bit of cigarette smoke won’t do any harm.
