Re: Shirerithian Anti-Smoking Act.
Abstain (2)While I personally hate smoking, I believe while we can ban smoking in all public realms and label it addictive - we should allow people to do what they want in the privacy of their homes. We ban them from doing something, they'll just do it behind our backs.

What's the deadline on voting for this Act? Or is there a standard one I should already know about but don't? ZirandorthelThe Golden DarknessNiirus Tinenetuwar"In order to find his equal, an Irishman is forced to talk to God."-Stephen Braveheart

Right, so that would be Wednesday that I close it, and Tuesday at midnight is the deadline for any votes, and any after that aren't counted? Or should I be more lenient?

Re: Shirerithian Anti-Smoking Act.
In an ideal world, a libertarian would campaign for a return to a segregated society, because an "ideal" society can't cater to everyone, and those people who don't appreciate the ideality of the present society would be defined as traitors to ideality and killed or imprisoned, because in an "ideal" society, all the dissidents are jailed, after all...

It was probably the kind of "no-one knew they were addictive" thing. But I think they have become more addictive, I'd say they were always addicted.You know cigarettes have rat poison and rocket fuel and stuff in them?

Re: Shirerithian Anti-Smoking Act.
The thing about cigs is that the only reason they're legal is because they don't make you impaired like drugs.... so I guess the politicians felt it was ok to make legal, but it's still addictive, which makes it wrong.*beats the dead horse some more*

Your beating of said dead horse has been noted in the minutes of the Landsraad, making for the fourth strangest occurence these chambers have seen. Well done, old bean.

Re: Shirerithian Anti-Smoking Act.
The Barony of Alexandretta will like to change its previous vote to NAY (2)We will not support Acts that are very hard to enforce (as Her Grace the Duchess of Elwynn stated) and would infringe on the rights of citizens to do as they please in a private setting. I ask the members of the Landsraad to reevaluate their votes - this is not just about our personal feelings on smokings, it is about limiting the civil rights of our citizens. (Plus why should it be illegal to use thi emoticon?)

Re: Shirerithian Anti-Smoking Act.
Maybe we should change the law to banning the smoking in public places and you are only allowed to smoke in the privacy of your own home. Even though I really do think that tobacco should be outlawed...in all forms. Kaiseress Jadie IThe Elf-Cat Kaiseress of ShirerothCarry on with your lives people....Nothing to see here
