Smoking ban upheld in my city!! Critique my letter....

[CommonSense]

For the sake of the thread, I’m bowing out.

In closing: If you don’t like cigarette smoke – leave. If you think others have the same feelings – open your own business and become the next millionaire.

Jeeper: There is a line. PM me if you want to continue. This thread is getting old and it sounds like it’s about to be shut down.

Pendragon: Three periods means it’s a partial quote. I apologize for your lack of awareness. I stand by my question though. What if people didn’t want you to have bullets in an area that was comfortable with them? You never answer my questions. I did find your post cute though. I really enjoyed the “that I am simultaneously proposing legislation or policy†comment. If one thing is proven “badâ€, shouldn’t all other “bad†things follow suit? PM me if you have more of your wisdom to pass on to me.

Good luck to anyone that sticks with the thread and tries to explain it to the sheeple.

Anybody able to quote any SCIENTIFICALLY BASED studies that show that "second hand smoke" is anything other then a bad smell, step up to the plate. Really good comparison there, radiation, asbestos, cyanide, and smoking. Usual non sequitur move by someone with no pertinent argument. And by the way I'm not a smoker and never have been.

no because it doesn't exist

Three periods means it’s a partial quote.

Yes, it is called an elipsis and means that there is a lapse or gap in the quoted materal that is not germane to the quote or shortens the quote to its pertinent, salient points for brevity.

el·lip·sis
n. pl. el·lip·ses (-sz)

1.
a. The omission of a word or phrase necessary for a complete syntactical construction but not necessary for understanding.
b. An example of such omission.

2. A mark or series of marks (... or * * *, for example) used in writing or printing to indicate an omission, especially of letters or words.

I'm done with this thread, too.

I am amazed at how many people here cling to the thought that they are entitled to their rights while being willing to deny the rights of other people. It's truly saddening.
