So HUD is angling to ban smoking in public housing? What the ****??
That is a TERRIBLE idea.
I am a reformed smoker and like many reformed smokers am very much anti smoking. I hate the smell. I hate the effect. I wish tobacco were illegal.
But its not. And to cause people in public housing to become criminals if they smoke IN THEIR RESIDENCE is nanny state run amok.
This is one of the stupidest things I have heard in a long time.
And we wonder why lots of people hate liberals.

3. This isnt why they hate liberals. They hate liberals because liberals dont hate Black people
to the extent that they do.
That is pretty much the whole reason.
Or Gay people, or Women, etc.
No. We hate liberals because they're like you.

6. Absurd.
It's a legal activity.
So is owning a gun but you little fascists would applaud that ban.

19. Do you disagree with all non-smoking laws? Or do you just think
poor children shouldn't be protected from other people's cigarette smoke in their own apartments?

30. Public places are one thing.
You are a guest there.
The place you PAY to RESIDE in should remain open to all legal activities. Period.
Public housing is not a public place?
And, correct me if I'm wrong but, isn't hifibitch a self-identified commie?
When did they ever respect what people pay for?

14. Classic social libertarian vs social authoritarian debate topic.
I'm in the social libertarian camp. I think government should stay out of nanny state issues and focus on regulating the economy.
It concerns me that people support being told what to do in their own home.

24. "Shared air intruding in other apartments"
As if that's not the case in private apartment buildings.
Stop it. There is ZERO reason to support this shit. Stop trying to make the case based on bullshit assumptions of fact.
That's liberalism in its entirety.
