Huh? Pub = public house, the whole point of a pub is to welcome everyone in and serve them food and drink. If they're going to allow only certain people in, it's a club.
No. Public House, as in "hello respectful friend! my PRIVATE house is open to the public, as long as you appretiate my rules and can tolorate the mild irritation caused by smoking customers I have CHOSEN to serve. I know you will respect my rules or go elsewhere. Thank you!"
But you non smokers (and the gov) didn't respect that kind landlord, did you. oh no you didn't!
You see, Public House isn't "public", as in: "a public state building, such as a hospital, which is OBLIGED to ensure the health & safety of ALL due to the unfortunate fact that sometimes people cannot AVOID going to hospitals and have no CHOICE"
there's a difference. a big important difference which you can't seem to grasp. oh well. - isokadded on the 2009-07-31 21:28:14

- how did you manage to miss the point for a second time?
you HAD plenty of choices, you CHOSE to be among smokers in adult establishments where the owners should have the right to decide which customers they CHOOSE to cater for. as long as everyone is consenting, it's called freedom.
Just because all of your "friends" enjoyed and CHOSE to attend smoking pubs and there were few non-smoking alternatives (due to pathetically weak demand, even from non-smokers) that doesn't MORALLY give you the right to lay down laws which FORCE people to cater to your niche requirements.
I think that was the general point being made and you telling us that it was banned simply because you - and a few others - personally would prefer not to have to tolerate smoke doesn't change the fundamental and sound principle of Doom's point.

- CrossProduct: Bullcrap, 20 years ago company owners had the _freedom_ to allow their employees to smoke if they chose to. but at the end of the day, courtesy and common sense won and 99% (at least in most of Europe) chose NOT to allow smoking in their buildings. For the other 1% that DID allow smoking the solution for intolerant non-smokers, again, was simple: DO NOT WORK THERE - GTFO!
It worked the same with restaurants; very few even before the ban allowed customers to smoke because (believe it or not) even SMOKERS do not enjoy the smell of smoke while eating. The same was also true for most other businesses which dealt with the public, such as public transport. In the UK, smoking on buses and trains has not been permitted for well over 20 years.
These rules were decided by the people who owned and controlled their business because it made good business sense - and everyone was happy until they recently became infected by media lies and the government's more recent push to intensify their Lord-like stewardship over every aspect of our everyday lives and the choices we make.
It's so discusting to see people blindly agreeing to this ban, it really is! Not because I’m personally upset about not being able to smoke “in your face” but because the only thing that will prevent us _all_ being treated like children by governments and losing our basic freedoms is if we all stick together and speak out when we see other people's right to live their lives freely being threatened. Even if you find smoking "mildly irritating", you should have the sense to see that it is in your OWN interest to defend the right of your neighbour to choose the way he wants to live his life. it has very little to do with what YOU like or do not like. It should be part of your own natural survival instinct.
I can't stand alcohol, but if it was the other way around and drinking in privately owned bars was banned, I would be just as pissed off and concerned. why? because I would be sensible enough to realize that once all that banning nonsense begins, it won’t be long before something *I* like doing gets banned. That’s the way it works and is GOING to work.
but don't worry, personally I will still be in your corner voicing my discust at the drinking ban when it comes, even if it "doesn't effect me". I may even sit down in a pub with you and share a pint of beer, just as a symbolic two finger salute to Big Brother so that he knows we can't be pushed around so easily. :P - isokadded on the 2009-07-30 14:53:53
