If you’re an objectively pro-fascist smoking would-be-banner, you might be interested to read about your spiritual predecessor, Turkish Sultan Murad IV. His anti-smoking measures included a particularly effective technique to deter proprietors from allowing people to smoke on their premises. I’m sure the lovely Ms Flint is taking notes…
Now, now. It’s perfectly possible to be in favour of eliminating the dangers of passive smoking without being objectively pro-fascist.
And if we’re going to polarise the debate, then it’ll end up being between the objectively pro-fascist amongst us and the psychotic mass-murderers who seek to inflict their deadly toxic smoke upon all the little children and puppies of the world.
Which is exactly how the debate should be on SBBS.
(for people seeking more sensible discussion, here)
I like to "inflict my deadly toxic smoke upon all the little children and puppies". Of course when I say smoke I mean mustard gas, or sarin, or the crazy frog music.
or the crazy frog music.
Do not go there. Just don’t. Twice now I have had to tell people that a library is not an appropriate place to be playing that ‘music’ loudly on a computer. The second time, it got stuck in my head. Just the mention of the phrase makes me twitch and get flashbacks.
